As Nebuchadnezzar’s war machine began to lay siege to Jerusalem Jeremiah found himself in detention in the doomed city. It was at the order of King Zedekiah that Jeremiah was under guard. The king did not like the prophet’s message. This is proof that Zedekiah had gotten the message. Although I have never had any official response to my many open letters sent directly to [...]
Last week’s attention-grabbing clickbait on JW.org had to do with this summer’s heatwave being the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. I wish I were kidding, but it is no joke. They have sunken that far. And, as to be expected, they cited the UN's World Meteorological Organization as the supreme authority and font of truth. This week they are running a variation of the heatwave theme [...]
JW dot org has a header article entitled Summer 2023 Global Heat Wave—What Does the Bible Say? It quotes three agencies and as we might expect, one of them is part of the United Nations—the World Meteorological Organization. But what does the Bible say? The article poses the question: Does extreme weather fulfill Bible prophecy? According to the prophet class, the answer is yes. Yes. Global [...]
Writing to the Corinthians Paul advised believers to get their priorities straight. The reason being “the time left is reduced.” Thus, those doing business and making use of the world were advised to not make use of the world to the full. Why? Because “the scene of this world is changing.” (1 Cor. 7:31) It is unclear how the system was changing in Paul’s day [...]
This is the concluding part three of the consideration of the Learn from Bible Prophecy article. Paragraph 16 states: God’s people who live under the rule of “the king of the north” are enduring direct persecution by this king. Some Witnesses have been beaten and thrown into prison for their faith. Rather than intimidate our brothers, the actions of “the king of the north” build [...]
Part two Under the subheading How the kings of the North and South affect you, paragraph 15 states: Read Daniel 11:40. Daniel chapter 11 speaks of two kings, or political powers, who struggle with each other for world domination. By comparing this prophecy with others in the Bible, we can identify “the king of the north” as Russia and its allies and “the king of the south” as the Anglo-American [...]
This article is in response to the August 2023 Watchtower article entitled Learn From Bible Prophecy. Paragraph three advises us to get a guide to help us understand Bible prophecy, saying: In a similar way, Jehovah knows where we are in the stream of time and what is on the road ahead of us. So to understand Bible prophecy, we must humbly ask for Jehovah’s help. [...]
A continuation of the Jeremiah series One of the last things Jesus said before he ascended back to heaven, he assured his followers that he would be with them all the days until the conclusion of the system, or the end of the age as some translations word it. On another occasion, Jesus said that where two or three were gathered in his name he would [...]
A continuation of the Jeremiah series. Everything connected to the second coming of Christ has been distorted and ultimately concealed. We might suspect that the Devil is the culprit, and, of course, he is. But Satan is only allowed to work his operation of error because it suits God’s purpose to allow for a “deceptive influence” to have its work complete. When the day and hour [...]
Jehovah’s Witnesses have a unique message. It is the Bible’s message, otherwise called the gospel—the good news. The good news is that God has arranged for a new government—a global government---even a one-world government that will take complete control over the earth’s affairs. The government God intends to install—otherwise known as the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of the heavens—will be administered by God’s [...]
