As long as anyone can remember, the world has been relatively stable and secure. According to the Watchtower, though, the four horsemen of the Apocalypse have brought widespread war, famine, and disease epidemics. But is it true? The truth is most people have never experienced war or hunger. The apocalyptic message of Jehovah’s Witnesses does not ring true. Here is a question to consider: Jesus said [...]
Donald Trump has been called many things. It would be fair to say he is a Disrupter. Especially is that so when it comes to war and peace. Since his recent re-election, he has brought a critical Bible prophecy into focus. What prophecy? A prophecy most familiar to Jehovah’s Witnesses—“Whenever it is that they are saying, “Peace and security!” During the summer of 2024, there was [...]
Audio produced by AI-generated voice clone Over the years, I have posted numerous articles and a few videos on the topic of “peace and security.” That expression is related to a verse in the Bible —a prophecy found at 1 Thessalonians 5:3. For the unfamiliar, the verse states: “Whenever it is that they are saying, “Peace and security!” then sudden destruction is to be [...]
There have only been a relatively few times that God has intervened in human affairs on a grand scale. Those few interventions have dramatically changed the course of history. First and foremost (so far) was the great Flood. By means of a global deluge, God destroyed an ancient world. Almighty God forced the lustful angels to dissolve their flesh and return to the spirit realm where [...]
I read with interest jw.org's recent banner article entitled: "Is World War Inevitable?—What Does the Bible Say?" Several bullet points quote news sources highlighting the numerous flashpoints around the world. Perhaps because the article was already penned weeks ago, it does not mention the latest, most egregious provocation: the NATO-backed invasion of Russia that some analysts claim is an attempt to goad Putin into using nuclear [...]
With each passing day, the world sinks deeper and deeper into conflict and crises. The civil chaos and war escalation are intentional—by design. On the surface, the conflict is being driven by the ascendancy of Russia, China, and the BRICS+. A multipolar world is replacing, yes, challenging the bankrupt Anglo empire that has dominated the world for the past two centuries, particularly since the end [...]
With wars and rumors of wars growing louder, it is time to revisit the familiar prophecy of peace and security. That phrase has special relevance for millions of Jehovah’s Witnesses because it is believed that the fulfillment of their saying “peace and security” will be the precursor of the beginning of the great tribulation. As a refresher, the Watchtower has stated below as recently as 2019. [...]
Are these the last days? This is an old topic that I have considered many times over the past 20 years. This article, though, is not simply a rehash for the sake of producing blog fodder. The repetition is because the Watchtower repeats the same line over and over and millions of Jehovah’s Witnesses unquestioningly accept it as the truth. I feel duty-bound to at least [...]
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 [...]
