Revelation – What Does it Mean?

2022-11-12T14:34:44-05:00June 4th, 2021|WT Review|

The Watchtower has published an article on Revelation, posing the question: What Does it Mean?  The article does not discuss any aspect of Revelation. The Governing Body is implying that they know what it means, but do they really? It is true, as the brief article makes mention, Revelation uses many “signs,” or symbols, that are not to be understood literally, and much of the [...]

Who is the false prophet of Revelation?

2021-02-27T10:51:29-05:00October 26th, 2017|Mailbag|

QUESTION: Who is ‘the false prophet?" And why is he called such? Revelation 16:13 is the first mention of the false prophet. It reads: “And I saw three unclean inspired expressions that looked like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the wild beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are, in fact, [...]

Watchtower’s Revelation anticlimax hoax soon to end

2024-06-03T10:19:43-04:00October 14th, 2017|Commentary|

Saturday, October 14 There will be great tribulation.—Matt. 24:21. Although we do not fully understand all that will happen during that time of test, we can expect that it will involve some measure of sacrifice. In the first century, Christians had to leave behind their possessions and endure hardships in order to survive. To remain faithful, will we be willing to experience material loss? Will we be [...]

The Revelation and Presence of Christ

2019-09-20T14:26:20-04:00April 26th, 2017|Commentary|

Wednesday, April 26 Without faith it is impossible to please God well.—Heb. 11:6. Have you ever thought, ‘Am I the kind of person Jehovah will want to save during the great tribulation and bring into the new world?’ One very important requirement is that we cultivate strong faith. The apostle Peter drew special attention to the importance of faith when he spoke of its “tested quality” that [...]

The Revelation of Jesus Christ

2019-09-24T09:26:53-04:00August 11th, 2016|Commentary|

Thursday, August 11 Into these very things, angels are desiring to peer.—1 Pet. 1:12. Jehovah could have had the angels do the writing of the Scriptures. After all, they have a keen interest in us and our activities. No doubt, the angels could have written down God’s message to mankind. But would they have seen things from a human perspective? Would they have been able to relate to [...]

The Revelation of Christ Now at Hand!

2019-09-24T10:10:17-04:00June 23rd, 2016|Commentary|

Thursday, June 23 A vast mixed company also went with them.—Ex. 12:38. When the Israelites left Egypt, they did not do so as various independent groups, each group going its own way. And when Moses “stretched out his hand over the sea” and Jehovah split the sea apart, Moses did not go through alone or with just a few of the Israelites. Rather, with Jehovah’s protection, the [...]

What about the “false prophet” of Revelation?

2019-09-25T10:36:27-04:00January 26th, 2016|Mailbag|

QUESTION: How are we to understand the identity of the false prophet, recorded at Rev 16:13? ANSWER: The Watchtower identifies the false prophet as the same entity as represented in the 13th chapter of Revelation as the two-horned beast that rises up from the earth and begins speaking as a dragon. This seems to be the correct interpretation. However, we may be certain that the [...]

What about the eighth king of Revelation and the feet of iron and clay?

2019-09-25T10:42:48-04:00January 10th, 2016|Mailbag|

QUESTION: If the stone strikes the image upon its feet and toes during the time of the end, where in the stream of time does that leave the eighth king of Rev. 17:11? Is it possible that these two events mentioning differing numbers of kings/rulers could years or even centuries apart? I do not understand why God made these two prophecies so confusingly different if [...]

What is the wild beast in Revelation that was, but is not?

2019-09-25T11:14:28-04:00September 28th, 2015|Mailbag|

QUESTION: The Scriptures depicting the eighth king, seem more like a riddle, such as Samson's riddle to the Philistines, than a statement. For instance, how can a kingdom "that was", still not be around or already present? Since this takes a mind with wisdom, isn't Revelation telling us that the 8th king is already here? Or that it has already been, but is cloaked so-to-speak, rather [...]

144,000 sealed and the Revelation of Christ

2019-09-25T11:22:42-04:00September 18th, 2015|Mailbag|

QUESTION: How is the number 144,000 inclusive of (if literal) ALL who will go to heaven? A unique feature of the 144,000 sealed ones is indicated at Rev. 6:11 where it says they wait under the altar until "the number was filled of their fellow slaves and their brother WHO WERE ABOUT TO BE KILLED AS THEY HAD BEEN." Rev. 7:4 gives us the specific number [...]
