  I think aliens from outer space would be more aligned with 'fearful sights' and 'strange and terrifying things'. They had heat waves in ancient times. They had droughts. I mean, wasn't the whole wandering in the desert and needing manna poured down from heaven due to not being able to find ground food? Wouldn't that presume there hadn't been enough rain and maybe there was even a heat wave?

  To be honest, the bible itself has much more 'fearful sights' and 'strange and terrifying things' than climate change... which is really hard to prove (no matter how much one might already believe in it.). I mean... I can make a list that fits that prophecy much more than climate change.

  1. Manna raining from heaven.

  2. Burning bush that talks as a messenger from God.

  3. Angles in human form.

  4. Human sacrifice.

  5. Parting the sea.

  6. Water turning to blood.
  

  7. Flood killing all of humanity

  8. Fitting pairs of every living creature into that tiny little boat called the Ark.

  * 9. A virgin giving birth to a hybrid human/supernatural baby.

  10. Turning a rod into a serpent and back again.

  11. Insect plagues.

  12. First born children dying but other children living. (That would have killed off one sibling, my father, my maternal uncle, my grandfather, and about 15 cousins in one fell swoop.)

  13. People speaking in tongues.

  14. Jericho falling because of sound waves.

  15. Samson's strength is all in his hair???

  16. Dinah has to marry her rapist and then her brothers kill everyone anyway. (as a woman that is terrifying.. and just awful).

  17. Sodom and Gomorrah are fire-bombed from heaven.

  18. Women mate with angels creating monsters/giants?

  * 19. Dead coming back to life.

  * 20. Walking on water.

  21. People living through being burned alive, unscathed.

  22. Handwriting appearing on walls.

  23. Whale swallowing a man (this happened recently and was pretty creepy even though the whale spit him out)

  * 24. Water turns into wine.

  The ones with asterisks actually happened to or were caused by Jesus himself. So, if he said the things and sights were strange and terrifying and fearful, then shouldn't his prophecy mean things that are even more alarming than what we saw him do or go through?

  I'm sorry but climate change pales by comparison because the application is just experiencing the weather... been there done that. The scale may be new, but the sight isn't strange or terrifying, just new.

  I Would think if aliens would land/come to earth. It would really throw Watchtower and any other believe down.

  Talk about reading into things. The WTS uses this technique all the time. But don't say anything even if the WTS is totally out of their mind making this connection.
  

  Are these the Last Days?

  Every global catastrophe, be it a war, earthquake, famine, epidemic or financial recession, has Jehovah's Witnesses besides themselves that Armageddon is about to occur. Watchtower leaders make use of the fear such events invoke, insisting they show we are at the end of the "last days." They have been making the same claim that Armageddon is upon us, not just for decades, but ever since the religion's inception in the 1870's.

  COVID-19 was no exception - Watchtower touted this as proof the end was upon us. However, the global response to Covid-19 resulted in a death rate that was significantly less than similar pandemics in the past. Rather than acknowledge this incredible medical achievement, Watchtower presented Covid-19 as proof pestilence is greater than ever before. To believe such shows tragic historical ignorance. Disease takes a lower toll on human life than any other time in history, proven by global life expectancy doubling over the last century.

  

  Next was the fear of inflation, with the lead article on jw.org in June 2022 being "Soaring Worldwide Inflation." Rising prices are claimed to be a sign of the Last Days, which is particularly egocentric, since even with inflation, people in the developed world have a higher standard of living than the poorest quarter of the global population and most people of any time in history.

  Are these the Last Days? compares information published by Watchtower with research regarding war, pestilence, earthquake and famine since 1914, with astounding findings. See also Does The Current Recession/War/Pandemic Prove Armageddon is Close?

  The WTS also said earthquakes have been increasing since 1914: What does this say: https://jwfacts.com/watchtower/earthquakes.php
