"The Great Day Of Jehovah Is Near!"
What evidence do we have today that Zephania's prediction at Chapter 1:14-18 are about to be fulfulled, and very probably now, at any moment, by the appearance of World conditions, as focused on in the news of the day.
Note exactly what Zephaniah had to say about this Day of Jehovah: " 'The Great Day of Jehovah is near,' it is near and there is a hurrying of it very much.{Isaiah 60:22} The sound of the Day of Jehovah is bitter. There a mighty man is letting out a cry.' That Day is a Day of Fury, a Day of distress and of anguish, a Day of Storm and of desolation, a Day of darkness and of gloominess, a Day of Clouds and of thick gloom, a Day of Horn and of Alarm signal, against the fortified Cities and against the high corner towers. And I will cause distress to Mankind, and they will certainly walk like blind men; because it is against Jehovah that they have sinned. And their blood will actually be poured out like dust, and their bowels like the dung. Neither their silver nor thier gold will be able to deliver them in the Day of Jehovah's fury; but by the fire of his zeal the whole earth will be devoured, because he will make an extermination, indeed a terrible one, of all the inhabitants of the earth."
For those who find it too hard to believe that we are in a Day of Storm, consider the paralysing snow storms that have already hit the United States, and as I type this, snow, sleet, and ice are falling on the southern States, even now. Not too forget too, the 39 Tornado's that wreaked havoc and destruction, throughout areas in the United States. Sufficient evidence, that Jehovah's Day has begun; and recall Isaiah Predicted, Jehovah would, 'speed it up in its own time.' That is why Zephaniah could say, 'there's a hurrying of it very much.'
Keep in mind, Jehovah's Day is the final fulfillment of the four hoursemen of the Apocalypse; which ride would begin when Michael the great prince stands up, and the worst time of World Peril this World has ever seen, or will ever see again, will then begin. {Daniel 12:1,2} {Revelation 6:1-8}
Jesus enumerated World events that would be taking place, just prior to his coming into Kingdom Power; that exactly harmonize with the ride of those four horsemen. Read through the composite sign of his coming into Kingdom Power; and note the time of the great tribulation, which would reach its heighth or zenith, just immediatly prior to his taking his position as King of God's Kingdom. When he must intervene to save the lives of his chosen ones, his anointed brothers. {Matthew 24:21,22} It would be, 'immediately after the tribulation of those Days,' because it had been, 'cut short,' he would gather his chosen ones from the four winds, from one extremity of the heavens to the other other extremity. {Matthew 24:29-31} {Revelation 12:10-12}
The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses will tell us that Daniel's 7 Time Prophesy ended in the year 1914, with the Christ invisibly present and crowned as God's King; but that is a fallacy, because Jesus told us, that when the sign of his coming began, that, that, was only the 'beginning of birth pangs of the Kingdom,'' {Matthew 24:8} and the Apostle John is in full harmony with that thought, as we see in Revelation, he tells us, that Jehovah's Heavenly Woman, was, 'pregnant crying out in her pains to give birth.' The Labor pains of this heavenly Woman are pictured by all of the troublesome events ever since that year, and would culminate when the four horsemen of the Apocolypse reigned in those four horses. {Revelation 12:1,2} One last killer point for their 'invisible presence' doctrine, is the fact, that Jesus told us. 'he was coming like a thief;' you dont tell people that, and then turn around and tell them that you have been invisibly present for 96 years as the Governing Body has told us, he has been. Rather silly, isn't it? {Revelation 16:15}
That ride would begin when Michael stands up, and Daniel's time of world peril begins having to be ended by the War of the Great Day of God The Almighty at Armageddon. {Daniel 12:1,2} {Revelation 16:13-16}
During the time of this ride, Jeremiah's prophecy would see fulfillment, when, 'a calamity is going forth from Nation to Nation.' Jeremiah tells us, that, 'those slain by Jehovah will certainly come to be in that Day from one end of the earth clear to the other end of the earth.' In full harmony with the words of Zephaniah, for 'a terrible extermination of everyone on earth.' {Jeremiah 25:31-37} {Ezekiel 38:18-23}
Once again, and contrary to the teachings of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses, the Christ does not receive his crown of authority to act as Jehovah's Appointed King, until he stands up as the Archangel Michael, 'the great prince of you people.' It will be then the ride of the four horsemen begins, and Daniel's time of World peril is set into motion. Then, in harmony with Jeremiah's Prophecy Ezekiel's Prophecy will be fulfilled, with 'the Sword of every Mans Sword turned against his own Brother.' Then Matthews words, when 'Nation rises against Nation and Kingdom against Kingdom,' and all particular hell will break out on this planet, in complete insanity. To be brought to an end by Armageddon. {Matthew 24:7}
The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses will tell us that Matthew 24:7 was fulfilled in the year 1914, but such could never be true. The reason being, Matthew 24:6 with, 'Wars and rumors of Wars, with the end, not yet,' are still in progress, and the end is still not yet. That fact puts Matthew 24:7 where I properly placed it, as you see.
But there is even more compelling reason to believe, that Jehovah's Day is upon us right now, at this very moment in time: I will go on now to explain why that is; by focusing your attention on the parable of the fig Tree, Jesus gave, to let his followers know exactly when he would come into Kingdom Power, and what to expect when that event occured.
Now, "Think of the Fig Tree and ALL THE OTHER TREES. When you see their leaves beginning to appear, you know that Summer is near. In THE SAME WAY, when you see these this happening, you will know that the Kingdom of God is about to come." {Luke 21: 29-31}
Is it not true, that at the end of the Summer, you observe EVERY TREE in full Bloom, anywhere and everywhere you look? Was Jesus not telling us in that Parable that when we saw the composite sign of his coming, like all those Trees in full bloom in late summer, that, that composite sign would be in evidence everywhere on this earth, all at the same time, anywhere you would look? And by that, we would know the Kingdom was near? Did not John in his Revelation tell us that, 'every eye will see him?" Did not Matthew tell us, that, 'all the people of the earth will weep as they see the son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory?" They are all obviously seeing the entire sign of the coming of Christ in Kingdom Power; all over this World, and all at the same time; and none too happy about it, because all the people of the earth are found to be mourning and weeping at his arrival. {Matthew 24:29-31} {Revelation 1:7}
Since the year 1914 we have seen the Wars and rumors of Wars, with the resulting famines. We have seen the Earthquakes, the pestilence and plagues, many false prophets, growing loss of love, increasing crime, the first pains of childbirth; look, now, today, the entire composite sign is occuring all around our earth all at the same time, with floods of 'Biblical Proportion' as in Australia with 37 Metres of rain and more rain forecast for them. Paralysing Snow Storms in the States, Sleet, Snow, and Ice as I type this. {Job 38:22,23} 39 Tornado's rampaging through the United States. Creating vast destruction. Erupting volcano's, rising cost of living, ridiculers who don't believe the Kingdom is about to come. Earthquakes going on all around our globe. And all foretold: Matthew 24:6 Luke 21:9 -11 Habakkuk 3:10 {2 Peter 3:3,4} Revelation 6:5} and who can deny the foretold rising cost of living as mentioned by John in his Revelation? {Revelation 6:5,6}
But why all of this trouble at this time, someone may ask? It is revealed in John's Revelation that Four Angels were to hold tight the four winds of World Destruction until the final sealing of the slaves of our God was completed. When the last one was to be sealed those four Angels were to unleash those four destructive winds. When that was done, unseen by the human eye a War in heaven would be fought between Michael and his Angels and satan and his angels, with satan and his angels being thrown down to our earth, and 'Woe for this earth' was to begin, as it has, right now. {Revelation 7:1-4;12:7-12} The last one has now been sealed, and those Angels have now released those four winds of World Destruction. "Woe,Woe,Woe, for the earth when Michael stands up, and Daniel's time of World peril will begin. {Revelation 8:13} {Daniel 12:1,2} Michael will then gather all the chosen ones, first ressurecting his anointed Brothers including the surviving remnant, who are all with him at Armageddon; then sit down on his glorious Throne and separate the sheep from the goat's. {1 Thessalonians 4:15-18} {Matthew 25:31-46} {Revelation 17:14}
Now we can make some sense out of these next words of Jesus, which are: ""Remember that all these things will happen before the people now living have all died." {Matthew 24:34}
So, it is you, it is I, it is everyone alive all over this World at this time, is the Generation that will not pass away, we will see, all things fulfilled. Just as Jesus promised we would.
The Kingdom is right at the very doors! Jehovah's great Day is here! Jehovah's King will soon take the reigns of power, and the model prayer, 'let your kingdon come,' finally answered.
Now the Governing Body of the Watchtower Society will know, what generation it was that was not to pass away.
