In part one, we briefly considered how the Kings of the North and South originated with the breakup of the empire Alexander the Great had established when he unexpectedly died in 331 BCE. Originally, the empire fragmented into four regions. Then, it was consolidated into two. In time, the Roman Empire swallowed up both Syria and Egypt, which had been the prophetic Kings of the North and South, [...]
It is humanly impossible to accurately foresee the future. Nevertheless, as the calendar is about to roll over to 2022 it is customary to cast a glance forward to the possibilities and trends that may shape the world in the days ahead. Naturally, most people cannot imagine anything other than more of what has occurred in the past.

JW.org has a new banner article that appears in Awake! magazine on the topic of world government. The Watchtower derived its name and corporate logo from the scriptures; most prominently from Isaiah 21:8, which says: âUpon the watchtower, O Jehovah, I am standing constantly by day, and I am stationed at my guardpost every night.â The question is, is there actually someone stationed upon the [...]
Tuesday, October 26 Against you âyou above allâ I have sinned. âPs. 51:4. If you commit a serious sin, do not try to cover the error. Instead, openly confess your sin to Jehovah in prayer.

Question: Robert, youâve spoken about the mark of the beast before, that it is symbolic. Obviously, the eighth king hasnât 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 [...]
Remaining in the 10th chapter of Jeremiah, Jehovah instructs his prophet to say to them: âThe gods that did not make the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth and from under these heavens.â Not all those regarded as gods are lifeless idols made of wood and covered with gold. Some gods are spirit creatures, far more powerful and intelligent than humans, but still, [...]
A continuation of commentaries based upon Jeremiah. The tenth chapter of Jeremiah opens with Jehovahâs denunciation of Israel. âThis is what Jehovah says: âDo not learn the way of the nations, and do not be terrified by the signs of the heavens because the nations are terrified by them. For the customs of the peoples are a delusion. It is just a tree of the forest [...]
Wednesday, July 14 These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. âRev. 7:14. Since 1935, Jehovahâs Witnesses have understood that the great crowd of Johnâs vision is made up of a group of faithful Christians who have the prospect of living forever on earth.
