Questions from readers concerning Bible doctrines and issues confronting Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Questions from readers

QUESTION: I was reading your essay titled "The antichrist is coming" and there you say that what is acting as a restraint to the man of lawlessness is the Governing body but in your essay titled "And it stood still on the sand on the sea" you write that who has been acting as a restraint to the man of lawlessness is no other than Jesus, [...]

Graphene injections, Elijah and the prophets of Baal

QUESTION: If the anointed are going to give a final witness (putting themselves out there to be seen by all) why would Satan's agents need a 5g vaccine to find them? I believe the graphene injections are intended to do more than merely track and monitor.  Jehovah’s Witnesses have been blessed to know that God has a purpose. Jehovah intends to rid the earth of [...]

The King of the North Will Storm

I was listening to podcast 83, you were talking about the ”pushing” from America, which you said there hasn’t been a significant pushing yet. When the king of the north floods over, will we know it’s the empire? I ask because Jehovah’s Witnesses have been led to believe it’s Russia, so will it be obvious who it is? There is a reason Jehovah’s Witnesses (or anyone else) [...]

Vaccinations and the end of the world

Question: Robert, you’ve spoken about the mark of the beast before, that it is symbolic. Obviously, the eighth king hasn’t risen, but things have changed since your article was written and reading the other posts about QR codes on the forehead, where should we stand on this, and will Jehovah tell us about the mark or is it for us to see? And what if we [...]

How does Satan influence us?

QUESTION: I’ve been trying to figure out how Satan is pulling the strings behind the scenes and I can’t come up with an answer. How does he influence humans to do his will? Does the Bible have any answers on this subject? It seems to me that humans are evil themselves and don’t need Satan’s influence. He would have to possess someone in order to [...]

Is Covid vaccination the 666 mark of the beast?

Question: Do you think that the Covid 19 vaccination jab has anything to do with receiving the mark of the beast? There is already talk in the media about a future vaccination passport, to prove you have had the jab, without which you will not be allowed to travel, attend sporting events or public houses etc.  This could easily develop into being barred from any [...]

Questions concerning the king of the north

A reader has emailed me a series of questions concerning specific verses in the 11th chapter of Daniel. Dan. 11:21   Who is the “despised one”? The Watchtower explains that it was Tiberius Caesar. He was ruling during Jesus’ ministry. I think that is about the point where they lost the plot, as the saying goes. Dan. 11:23  Who / what is this “little nation”? In the [...]

What do the seven bowls of wrath symbolize?

QUESTION: What is the meaning of each of the 7 bowls of wrath, I mean how will they be manifested on earth, how will we see them? What do they symbolize? Are they literal? I know you have explained the final 2, but what about the others like the drinking of blood, the ulcers, the dying of fish in the sea, the burning from the sun [...]

The Mortal Wound and the Parousia

How can I use scripture and supporting argument to explain that the parousia of Christ does not begin until the death-stroke of the 7th king occurs. Is there anything in the Scriptures to support the chronological order, first the death-stroke of the 7th king, then the parousia begins? I appreciate your question. Unfortunately, Jehovah’s Witnesses have no appreciation of the implications and ramifications of your [...]

The Now-Emerging Eighth King

Robert, would you explain please your statement “the now-emergent eighth king.” How can this be prior to the destruction of the seventh king? Thanks. Just to clarify, I think “emergent” was a typo. The spell checker is usually a writer’s best friend. Sometimes, though, it can be very treacherous. I intended to say “now-emerging” —as in the process of coming forth, not intending to imply [...]
