  Is Bible prophecy now starting to come true regarding the prelude to the great tribulation?

  is bible prophecy now starting to come true regarding a prelude to the great tribulation?.

  full disclosure: i still don't believe in the bible's claims about the existence of the supernatural, even of jehovah god (i'm an atheist and a scientific/philosophical naturalist), but i am asking this question because recent events are starting to seem (to me) to fit well the description of some prophecies in the bible.

  consider the following.. several hours ago (on 11-26-2021) as i was about to enter a local fred meyer store of my city (in suburb or small city in the metro area of a large city) a person i know told me that a moment earlier a person left the store in a hurry with a cart load up with unpaid merchandise (i think i was told it was groceries but i don't remember that for sure).

  Point out that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. But the Watchtower is not.

  I left in 1979. It's not the same religion today that it was when I left,

  Ask if the publisher is a better person today than before they became Jw.

  I used to live in Las Vegas. I play video multi-card keno. I once won about $8,500 on a 4-card machine. My friend, now deceased, Myra Walery, taught me a good system. I was playing 70s along the bottom row. I layer my numbers, so I hit a 7 spot, 6 spot, 5 spot, and 4 spot all in one play. Choose a set of numbers, and stick with them, and you're likely to win at least sometimes. I have hit many smaller payouts on video keno.

  I used to play draw poker. I like the game, but the payoff in keno is much larger,

  Love, schmove. Show me in the Bible where it says to be cruel to someone in need. What is the point of the parable of the Good Samaritan to them?

  I know that no one in my previous congregation could score even what an average 8th grader could on the ACT or SAT. I think we should have sample ACT's and SAT's to give them when they come to the door so they can show off their "vast knowledge."

  interesting report in a oxford university blog - the world is becoming less religious, (hurray!!!).

  quote: "an analysis of religious trends from 1981 to 2007 in 49 countries containing 60% of the world’s population did not find a global resurgence of religion—most high-income countries were becoming less religious—however, it did show that in 33 of the 49 countries studied, people had become more religious (norris and inglehart, 2011).

  but since 2007, things have changed with surprising speed.

  Personally, I find religion as distasteful and many of you. However, having grown up in the Southern Highlands, I can see its usefulness for many.

  There are lots of people living down here who, without religion, would be doing greater harm to themselves and others. Believe it or not.
