Peace and Security, Great Tribulation, Armageddon

[Sofia]

The collapse of the Assad regime is for Russia a far worse catastrophe than most realize. I will show the implications on Africa.

As it is well known, one of Russia's "business models" is to prop up dictatorships and putschist regimes all around the globe, including Africa. Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger and the Central African Republic are just a few to name of. The Sudanese Civil war is even directly kept on fire by Russia. The latest peace process by the UNSC was stopped by Russia's veto. War and suffering are not only a good business for the Russian war industry, the only operational industry in Russia, but especially for their most infamous mercenary group, Wagner.

In exchange for Russia's help, to prop up those scourge regimes across Africa, Wagner received direct control of lucrative deals for mining operations, especially gold and blood diamonds. The exploitation operations are executed in the most ruthless way, with utter disregard on human life, killing locals and foreigners alike, even Chinese worker. After all, this has always been Wagner number one revenue.

However, logistically, Russia always relied on the Syrian bases to fly out the riches and fly in mercenaries. They always had to pass Hmeimim when going in either direction. It is also safe to assume that much of the operations in Africa were coordinated in hmeimim. Without this base, all operations in Africa were virtually impossible or the very least much harder to accomplish. And harder means, more expensive.

This "business model" could only thrive for as long as the puppet Assad was in Damascus, which as we all know is history. What this will mean for the putschist regimes and Wagner alike, remains to be seen, but it might give the African people suffering under them and Wagner a new chance to get rid off the Russian influence, the same way as the Syrian people ended it.

Now maybe Putin will start to use Lybia instead…🧐

True sis. Syria was the only port that Russia had in that area. They are not happy with the collapse of Assad regime.

[trottigy]

Well, Russia took Assad in. They're probably hoping they can reinstall him. Time will tell as you say.

Please check again, Russia has port in Libya as well so even if they loose Syria it does not cut them off from Mediterranean access. 

[Richie]

I think losing the access to global strategic locations like Syria follows the gradual collapse of global power of the KOTN, NATO will become happy seeing this. Let us watch...

(Daniel 11:40, 44-12:1) 40 “In the time of the end the king of the south... 44 “But reports out of the east and out of the north will disturb him, and he will go out in a great rage to annihilate and to devote many to destruction. 45 And he will plant his royal tents between the grand sea and the holy mountain of Decoration; and he will come all the way to his end, and there will be no helper for him. 12 “During that time Miʹcha·el will stand up, the great prince who is standing in behalf of your people. And there will occur a time of distress such as has not occurred since there came to be a nation until that time. And during that time your people will escape, everyone who is found written down in the book.

*** w20 May pp. 15-16 par. 16 Who Is “the King of the North” Today? ***

16 This attack by the king of the north, acting along with the rest of the world’s governments, provokes the Almighty and brings on the war of Armageddon. (Rev. 16:14, 16) At that time, the king of the north, along with the rest of the nations that make up Gog of Magog, comes to his end, and there will be “no helper for him”.—Dan. 11:45.

 

17 The very next verse in Daniel’s account gives more details about how the king of the north and his allies will come to their end and how we will be saved. (Read Daniel 12:1.) What does this verse mean? Michael is another name for our ruling King, Christ Jesus. He has been “standing in behalf” of God’s people since 1914 when his Kingdom was established in the heavens. In the near future, he will “stand up,” or take significant action, at the war of Armageddon. That battle will be the final event in what Daniel calls the greatest “time of distress” in history. John’s prophecy recorded in Revelation refers to the time leading up to this battle as “the great tribulation.”—Rev. 6:2; 7:14.

https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=2020401&srctype=wol&srcid=share&par= 27

 

The King of the North, along with the rest of the coalition, attacks God's people one final time. Jehovah's response to this attack is Armageddon. During (not before, not after) this attack on God's people, Jesus Christ leads Jehovah's army in battle at Armageddon. 

 

Daniel says it is the King of the North that leads the final attack on God's people. Therefore, the King of the North must still be in existence up to the battle of Armageddon. 

 

And yet, that is what the Bible says. 

 

(1 Thessalonians 5:3) 3 Whenever it is that they are saying, “Peace and security!” then sudden destruction is to be instantly on them, just like birth pains on a pregnant woman, and they will by no means escape.

https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&pub=nwtsty&srctype=wol&bible=52005003&srcid=share

 

Whenever they say "Peace and Security" then the sudden destruction happens. Peace and security first. It comes before the destruction. 

Thanks for that.

The End of the King of the North has just started 

Tremendously fabulous moments we are living in!!

Going on the information Shawn gave, they will be alive and active when attacking God's people.

 

To people in general: 

While I too, think Syria is big news, how is everyone relating it to P&S, GT and Armageddon?

I'm really confused where it all ties in, especially with the AM information.

Syria is not done yet, there are many unknowns and question marks how all those religious groups will move forward. 

Will sectarian violence emerge ... will Islamists tolerate minorities? will ISIS re-emerge?

It all depends what "sudden" means...is it our thinking of "sudden" or Jehovah's thinking of "sudden" ?

"Sudden" could be few hours, days, weeks or even months or more.

And is the destruction the destruction at Armageddon or the destruction of B.t.G. ?

At the moment we belief is it  the destruction of B.t.G.

We might get a new clarification soon.....or maybe nothing change....

We have to wait and see....

We do not rejoice over bad news, but seeing Bible prophecies fulfilled gives us confidence that God’s Kingdom is in place

How can these prophecies benefit us? World events and the noticeable change in people’s attitude would help us discern that Jesus has become King. So rather than become upset when we see people act selfishly and hatefully, we remember that their actions are fulfilling Bible prophecy. The Kingdom is in place! (Ps. 37:1) And we can expect world distress to increase as Armageddon draws ever nearer. (Mark 13:8; 2 Tim. 3:13) Are you not thankful to our loving heavenly Father for helping us to make sense of our turbulent times? - w22 July pp. 2-7

 

                           ---///---

 

It all has to do with the approaching great tribulation and Armageddon. 

Geopolitics affects the economy by controlling strategic resources like oil and trade routes, shaping markets and global trade. It also generates conflicts, including wars, territorial disputes, and actions to overthrow governments or dictators, aiming to expand influence or ensure regional stability. These dynamics define the balance of international power.

 

 

[Michał]

The nearer is the end, the more turmoil in the world. The uprising in Syria is just one example. I expect to see even more conflicts before Jehovah makes nations transfer power to the UN.

Right 

the rebel group HTM is another name to Al-Quaeda 

and they hate Jews 

What’s next? Will USA intervene?

👀

Seems like another scenario for KOTN xx KOTS pushings

 

Russian Federation has called for another UNSC emergency meeting

Its obvious that these lead to nothing 

Untill UN is reformed it’s useless

 For two things for sure,  Israel and USA are already bombing  certain areas in Syria so it will not get way out of control. Crazy. Now people need to worry about daily foods and necessities for a while. Sad,

It's all one destruction. 

 

*** w19 October pp. 8-9 par. 3 Keep Busy During the Last of “the Last Days” ***

3 Read 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3. Paul mentions “Jehovah’s day.” As used in this context, this refers to the time period that begins with the attack on “Babylon the Great,” the world empire of false religion, and ends with Armageddon. (Rev. 16:14, 16; 17:5) 

https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=2019602&srctype=wol&srcid=share&par=9

 

Great tribulation begins with the destruction of false religion.  Armageddon is the end of the great tribulation. Armageddon is not a separate event. 

 

This scripture is a warning prophecy to us. If sudden does not mean sudden from a human perspective, then this would be a pointless and ineffective warning. 

 

A similar scripture that shows how swiftly false religion will be destroyed is in Revelation. 

 

(Revelation 18:21) 21 And a strong angel lifted up a stone like a great millstone and hurled it into the sea, saying: “Thus with a swift pitch will Babylon the great city be hurled down, and she will never be found again.

https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&pub=nwtsty&srctype=wol&bible=66018021&srcid=share

 

A great millstone will sink quickly. 

 

Here is another scripture

 

(Revelation 18:10) 10 They will stand at a distance because of their fear of her torment and say: ‘Too bad, too bad, you great city, Babylon you strong city, because in one hour your judgment has arrived!’
https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&pub=nwt&srctype=wol&bible=66018010&srcid=share

 

One hour is a very short period of time 

 

*** it-1 p. 1153 Hour ***
Figurative or Symbolic Use. Symbolically or figuratively used, “hour” means a relatively short period of time. Jesus said to the crowd who came out against him: “This is your hour and the authority of darkness.” (Lu 22:53) The ten horns on the scarlet-colored wild beast are said to represent ten kings who are to receive authority as kings “one hour” with the wild beast. (Re 17:12) Of Babylon the Great, it is said: “In one hour your judgment has arrived!” (Re 18:10) In harmony with Jesus’ words at Matthew 13:25, 38 concerning the wheat and the weeds, Paul’s warnings at Acts 20:29 and 2 Thessalonians 2:3, 7 regarding the coming apostasy, and Peter’s statement at 2 Peter 2:1-3, John, the last surviving apostle, could well say: “Young children, it is the last hour, and, just as you have heard that antichrist is coming, even now there have come to be many antichrists; from which fact we gain the knowledge that it is the last hour.” It was a very short time, indeed, “the last hour,” the final part of the apostolic period, after which the apostasy would spring forth in full bloom.—1Jo 2:18.

Who would have thought that Syrian regime, that was so feared in the past, may fall in just few days with very little resistance. Something similar may happen with BtG.

We know Putin very well—he is addicted to war. He began his career with a brutal war against Chechnya and has been constantly fueling other wars. He can only be stopped by strength—the strength of world leaders who can become leaders of peace. We count on America and the entire world to help stop Putin. The only things he fears are America and global unity.

 

It is precisely such peace through strength that we discuss with all our partners, as well as the steps and guarantees needed for the people and the state attacked by Russia. War cannot be endless—only peace must be permanent and reliable.

Reason governments are called beasts.  Easy to poke and get a reaction.

 

They also can be quite merciless going after prey and eating them.

 

 

When king of kings takes over for a thousand years this experiment in humans trying government will be over.  And when Jesus gives it back to his father there will be no place for anyone to usurp Jehovahs authority ever again.

But it's the UN that removes religion, not the nations. Which is why I was confused,
