Is it possible that Covid, which affected the entire world economy, is punishment from God against the Harlot? I have been pondering over this for quite some time.

And… you’re still wrong. Not even plausible.

🤦♂️ It didn’t happen because their religious superstitions were unfounded. As are yours.

Fisherman:
For example, the image in Daniel refers to all political empires.
Wrong. The image in Daniel represents Babylon, Persia, Greece (Macedonia) and the competing Ptolemaic and Seleucid dynasties up until Antiochus IV.

Religions can’t all be right. But they can all be wrong. -

🙄 The 'Bible Students' in 1919 had no concept of a 'world empire of false religion'. The term is nonsense invented by the Watch Tower Society in 1963. Jehovah's Witnesses is just another nutty Adventist denomination, and they spout various things that are not mentioned in the Bible. For example:
- a global paradise
- a great spiritual temple
- 70 years of Jewish exile
- separate 'earthly or heavenly hopes'
- resurrection during the 1,000 years
- a 'final test' after 1,000 years
Pretty much all of their teachings relating to the 'end times' are not only wrong but also in the wrong order compared to what the Bible actually says.
As such, they are just one more of the 'false religions' that they denounce.

Fisherman:
Rome was also one of the kings of the earth and like the other kings had sex with this woman. This is obvious.
Gotta love JW 'logic'. A 'woman' that is acknowledged to be metaphorical (and which is explicitly identified as a city with a kingdom over other kings matching Rome's relationship to its client kingdoms) 'must' 'literally' be 'having sex' with 'all the kings' which 'obviously includes Rome' (though the passage doesn't say 'all' nor does it specify Rome as one of the kings). 🤦♂️But when the Bible directly states, in a passage that Christians consider to be literal that Jesus will be above "all things" (Colossians 1:16-17), JWs feel the need to insert the word "other", which does not appear in the original text. What a joke. 🤣

Fisherman:
WT interpretation is quite logical because she is a political consort and could not also be political herself
Haha. So very obviously wrong. The Roman Empire was explicitly a city with a kingdom over other kings. Compare Revelation 17:18.
