Simple Question Re 1914

wt claims that satan was thrown out of heaven in october 1914 precipitating ww!

and the end times.

a small problem with that is ww1 started on july 28th 1914 whilst satan was still in heaven picking his nose.. how did we not see this and waste years of precious life?

The rest of the Bible (that you always ignore when focusing on a verse that seems to say what you like to believe.) describes the Paraousia like the days of Noah. People ignored Noah a preacher of righteousnes and his ark building. The parousia like the days of Noah includes more than the flood and more than the tribulation and the rock that hits people on the head. The axiomatic point is that the Parousia is similar to the days if Noah.

You fail to see that during the days of Noah SEEmed to be ordinary to people who took no note—but Noah knew that his days were not ordinary. The days of the Parousia are similar. So contradicting your beliefs, the Scriptures show that the Parousia includes a period of time when there was an Elephant in the room and nobody noticed until the gt hits them over the head and the tribes beat themselves in lamentation when they see miraculous proof.

If there was a sign for the parousia Jesus would have told his disciples.

Hi Van,

He did. “What will be the sign of your Parousia.” answer: preaching, etc.

But since there wasn't a sign he said, "at a time you think not the Son of Man cometh.

He was referring to “ that day and hour”( no one knows ) during the days of his Parousia and he explains by liking it to the the days of Noah to the days of the Son of Man—DAYS not day. Vis-à-vis on the DAY the son of man is REVEALED.

Parousia

Matthew 24:37-39 (nwt-E) — For just as the days of Noah were, so the Parousia of the Son of man will be. 38 For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, 39 and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away, so the Parousia of the Son of man will be.

No it does not make any contradiction with Jesus' clear and unambiguous statement about the great tribulation which climaxed the Parousia.

Scholar,

That is why the gospels say: Tell US.. What will be the sign of your Parousia? —Which those with spiritual blindness cannot see. —Like the Pharisees who asked Jesus for a sign from heaven rejecting all his miracles and teachings and even his resurrection ( you did not discern the day of you being inspected ) Divine disfavor was manifested in 70CE but even today “Jews” refuse to see any correlation between 70 CE and Jesus.

The WT has published that today people refuse to see the sign of Jesus’s Parousia by not responding to the good news and becoming subjects of the theocracy and that makes them fighters against the kingdom, therefore, ALL will be forced to see when the son of man is revealed. They refused to see mentally but when the sign of the son of man appears in the heaven-indisputable proof from God- they will know, the will have to know. So, according to JW, the sign includes war, famine, persecution, preaching, destruction of bogus religion, the great tribulation, and finally miraculous convincing evidence which will also prove what JW have been saying all along: (They took no note until the flood came and swept them all way.) So when it hits by this time you don’t need the sign. The sign was there all along. That is how we at JW see it.

The sign of the parousia" is "the sign of the son of man",

Tell US when will these things be and what will be the SIGN of your Parousia.

Also:

But on the day that Lot went out of Sodʹom, it rained fire and sulfur from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 It will be the same on that day when the Son of man is REVEALED.

There is a point in time during his parousia when he is revealed to his enemies. That’s who the sign of the son of man is for.

In other words:

37For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be.38For as they were in those days BEFORE the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,39and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be.

Entirely and unambiguously incorrect. The 'sign of the Son of man' is explicitly described as appearing only after the 'tribulation' has ended.

The sign of the parousia ironically includes the sign of the son of man seen by the enemies when it is too late.

after the tribulation ends, does 'Christ appear

The text describes the sign of the parousia (What will be the sign of your presence) before and after the tribulation begins. If you compare the Parousia to the fulfillment of all the signs Jesus gave the 1 century christians before the destruction of Jerusalem and the Seige of Jerusalem as the great tribulation, the sign of the parousia has many aspects such as war preaching etc—and Christians see that sign others take no note of the sign of his Parousia. When the enemies see the sign, they are caught likevthe Romans caught the Judeans,

So when it hits someone over the head, they don’t need a sign.

Convergence of many scriptures having to do with irony, poetic justice, timing, vengeance. In other words: “ I’ll show you.”
