Peace and Security, Great Tribulation, Armageddon

I would even settle for a completely digital book that can be updated easily. I want to be able to click on any verse and get our current understanding; even the Research Guide doesn't always help.

My thoughts exactly. I even imagined for last year AM a brochure with Daniel snd Revrlation visions explained using videos (like last year RC)

I hope a new book about Revelation comes with a QR Code that takes us directly to the reference videos.

I hope a booklet like a legend of all the symbols and illustration and Meanings in Revelation. To me if you can study just the illustrations and the symbols and get them down packed in your mind and heart reading the book of Revelation will be like reading the old My Book of Bible stories.

This will impact everybody... just to give an example: USA exports a lot of integrated circuits (IC) to China - we call them in everyday language micro-chips. Those chips are used in computers, smartphones, appliances and the list goes on and on... If China pays more for micro-chips then consumers around the world will have to pay more for next fridge, TV or washing machine ... and that goes for everybody around the world if the machine was made in China. So this trade war is breaking everything and sooner or later it will become unsustainable .. because people will not afford to pay for washing machine that was $899 .. new price of $2999. (People will start repairing broken machines instead of buying new ones)

Maybe quality will become standard in products again. Instead of throwing things away the minute something new comes out.  Fixing something and having it for many years.  Like when our parents and grandparents were young.

That kind of cultural shift takes time. I hope this system ends first.

I wish all my friends an excellent celebration on this 12th! I will be focused on finishing the campaign, working in the ministry and in the activities I’ve been assigned to, such as cleaning, organizing, and coordinating the team so that everything goes well. May Jehovah bless all your efforts, and may everything work out for each one of you. Let the Kingdom come! 🩵

A lot of those prophecies aren’t going to be understood until they actually unfold.

I just found an interesting comment in an older WT while I was researching for a talk.

*** w77 1/15 p. 49 par. 22 Build Up Your Confidence Now for the Future ***
Stock markets and prices may fall and heads of governments may topple, but these are not barometers that determine or measure the closeness of the storm of the “great tribulation.” Keep in mind that when world powers of the past were destroyed by Jehovah, they did not collapse because of internal weakness or from corruption within their own framework. They were going concerns at the apparent height of their power when God deposed them by external forces.

I think now China decided to stop trade with U.S. altogether. Crazy times.

 

By the way, this is just something I noticed, not necessarily a fact. It feels like our organization/website does not like to comment about China? Is there a reason or is it just how I feel? I know there is no freedom of religion there, but it just feels like we report on other countries under ban (e.g. Russia) much quicker on world events and related news.

Can't edit my comment but I was just going to add I'm not trying to criticize or anything, and I understand what's happening is changing so fast everyday so maybe there will be an update when it calms down a little bit. Of couse it's also the memorial. Just curious in general if it's just my own sentiment or there's a reason on not really mentioning about China as much
