Israel vs Hamas

by Riley in

we might have russians involved in the middle east and are attacking israel.. wait.. i thought the watchtower and tract society was the central figures in the end times.

.

not that i believe in any of this nonsense but any news in jw world about how the evangelical narrative might be playing out closer than the wts stupidity.

"they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.” - Jesus

Clearly, Jesus expected the people alive in his generation to know the general time frame of the Messiah's appearance.... JUST AS HE DOES NOW. (1 Thess. 5: 4-5)

Here are some signs telling us we have already entered the season of the Lord’s 2nd Coming:

Many endtime prophecies (like temple sacrifices) pre-suppose a literal nation of Israel. After nearly 2000 years of non-existence, it suddenly reappeared "in a day" in 1948. (Isaiah 66:8)

Jerusalem was reclaimed in 1967 by the people of Israel (Isaiah 11:11-16, Joel 3:1-3)

Exponential increases in knowledge (internet) (Daniel 12:4)

Increase in people traveling from place to place (Jet travel) (Daniel 12:4)

The development of microchip and other technologies that for the for first time in history can make buying and selling impossible for some. (Revelation 13:16-18)

Persecution of Christians increasing all around the world (Matthew 24:9-10)

Increased lawlessness in the form of mass murderers, people yielding to immorality, homosexuality, and perversions of every kind "as in the days of Noah" (Matthew 24:12).

After being asked what would be the sign of his coming, the 1st thing Jesus said was to take heed that no one deceives you. The world is buried in deception, and with the invention of AI, it is about to get dramatically worse. People will be (many already are) deceived and have no idea what truth or reality is. 4% of Gen Z say they are transgender.

Jesus also said that "nation will rise against nation". The Greek word for "nation" here is ethnos. Jesus was literally saying that ethnic group would rise against ethnic group. (Identity politics) And this is exacty what we are witnessing on unprecedented levels.

But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness.... For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ - 1 Thess. 5: 4-5,9

Like the Roman Cathoilic Church, the WT has appropriated the term Israel and applied it to themselves. This should come as no surprise because they did the same thing with the promises of Salvation "for the forgiveness of sins" at the Lords Supper (Mt. 26: 27-28). Even though this is promised to "whosoever" over and over in scripture, WT says it only applies to them and not the R & F.

As far as the outcome of Hamas and Israel: I believe Israel's problems are just starting.

Zech. 12: 3 (AMP) And in that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will come and be gathered against it.

Israel is the ultimate "Fool Around and Find Out" scenario.

A nation should first determine how much they need to find out. That will then tell them how much they should fool around with Israel in order to find out what they need to know. It is all very scientific.

Very sorry to hear about your loss punkofnice. Thank you exerting what influence you had in preventing the infomercials the WT makes of our loved ones.

I admire you. Condolences, and may your mother rest in peace.

Is the USA gradually moving to a majority of citizens being non-religious

this is a topic discussed in a current article in the hongkong based asia times*.

find it at: https://asiatimes.com/2023/09/nones-still-no-match-for-us-christian-nationalism/.

the claim is made in the article, that near 30% of americans are non-believers, and that this number is increasing.

I have no problem with the death of religion. Let it die.

Riley,

Secularism is just another worlview. It fits the general description of religion. Meet the new boss:

Last week, the California Senate Judiciary passed AB 957, which would consider it abusive for a parent to not affirm a child’s gender “identity” and would deny custody to non-affirming parents during custody disputes. An updated version of the bill specifically defines a child’s “health, safety, and welfare” to include “a parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity.”

There is currently an ad campaign by the new religion of secularism claiming that men can have menstrual periods too.

Remember, the WT got it's start by condemning "religionists", while at the same time promoting their new heretical religion.

How dare those evil religionists claim that God created us "male and female"! Not much has changed. But, I for one won't be fooled by the same scam twice.

666 is the number of a name, the name of the Anti-Christ. In Greek, the letters have a corresponding number value.

Here's an educational exercise:

First, type your name here to see your name printed in Greek characters.

Then, look at the chart below and find the numerical value that corresponds to each letter in your name in Greek .

Write down all the letter values and add them up. It's that simple.

If your name equals 666, you could be the Anti-Christ.

Trinity Statements in the Dead Sea Scrolls

by Sea Breeze in

dr. ken johnson has identified several statements in the dead sea scrolls that predict that god would visit the earth as a man... as the messiah.

These ancient Dead Sea Scrolls are interesting with their comments about God becoming a man. It shows that God had been revealing himself to people of faith in him for a very long time. But, just to be clear... scripture alone is sufficient to determine that we all - representatives of Jew and Gentile crucified Jehovah, the Lord of Glory.

Isa. 42:8 I am the LORD [Jehovah]: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

1Cor. 2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Jas. 2:1 - "Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory" .

The Scripture plainly declares that Jesus Christ is the Lord of Glory [Jehovah] of Is. 42:8. He was killed by representatives of both Jew and Gentile.

What a hideous, fallen caricature of the magnificient race we were originally created to be.

But, it is possible to argue against 3 in 1...

@PetrW

It's possible to argue against anything, if you make enough scriptures symbolic. And now, thanks to the work of Ken Johnson, there are many more ancient writings from the patriarchs who started the Israeli people that will need to be ignored in order to continue to support Unitarianism/Arianism.

When I got saved, I knew enough to know that I needed to enter into some sort of contract or agreement with Jesus. I was not fully on board with the Trinity at that time. So, I just shelved it for the time being.... neither rejecting nor fully accepting it. I then based my decision to move forward with Jesus on the scripture where he said, "All power has been given me in Heaven and Earth." I reasoned that All meant All and as such I was at the top with him... at least to the top that I was ever going to get.

After I made the deal with Jesus and accepted his offer, I knew I was saved. I knew it in my innermost being. Within about 2 months after that I knew that Jesus was God Almighty, the Creator of Heaven and Earth. It never was a fully intellectual ascent. It happened about 3am in the morning while reading the Bible. The word of God is truly alive. It is unlike any other book on earth.

Blessings to you on your journey.
