  Still waiting for this one to be fulfilled.

  *** re 258 35 Executing Babylon the Great ***
  21 Yes, the nations will use the scarlet-colored wild beast, the United Nations, in destroying Babylon the Great. They do not act on their own initiative, for Jehovah puts it into their hearts “even to carry out their one thought by giving their kingdom to the wild beast.” When the time comes, the nations will evidently see the need to strengthen the United Nations. They will give it teeth, as it were, lending it whatever authority and power they possess so that it can turn upon false religion and fight successfully against her “until the words of God will have been accomplished.” Thus, the ancient harlot will come to her complete end. And good riddance to her!

  That's one prophecy that just might be fulfilled in the next decade or so. The "war on terrorizm" is a war against Islam. Once the ball starts rolling, it might not stop. Sounds far fetched I know; but not as far fetched as it sounded a couple of years ago.

  I very much doubt it.
  The society is prophecying that nations will give the UN power to destroy religion.
  Where is this power the UN is suppossed to be getting?
  It is the American government along with its allies and their armies which are supposidly fighting the war on terror , not religion.
  Even though the antics of religious fanatics cause much trouble in the world I can not see this , at least in in present state leading to a destruction of such things as the Catholic church , Buddhism or the muslim religion.
