  Great Tribulation

  by Friend in

  great tribulation.

  the biblical text of matthew 24:21 speaks of a great tribulation that, unless cut short, no flesh would be saved from.

  jehovahs witnesses have often applied that scriptural text as having a major and minor fulfillment; one fulfillment associated with jerusalems destruction in 70 ad and a later fulfillment just prior to the end of this worlds system of things.

  Modern-day Israel's Identity

  2. bible

  i would like to open this discussion on israel, because i have come to learn many things about it.

  the bible scriptures continue to prophecy about the nation of israel.

  we all know that the natural nation has been disowned by jehovah, because unfaithfulness.

  JW prophets or not!!

  by Zep in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  well they use to claim they were...of course now they dont, at least not in so many words.their very name itself however, implies that they speak for jehovah.but if its the case as they claim, that they are not his prophets & do not neccessarily speak for him then they have no right to the name "jehovah witnesses"....furthermore, if they are not prophets then how can they claim that rev11:3-4 is referring to them....pg164 of revelation..grand climax book.here it says that "my 2 witnesses shall prophesy".....but since they are not prophets then how can they prophesy....how can god cause them to prophesy?.

  its all games obviously...an attempt to avoid the label "false prophet" but in the process of doing so they just end up looking even more stupid!....

  <b>"who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time?

  46 it will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

  considering the latest questions from readers article on blood transfusion, i was wondering what the feelings are among this forums participants about blood transfusion.

  over the years the society has been receiving a growing amount of letters on the subject of blood and blood transfusion.

  any interesting biblical perspectives here about whether "abstain from blood" means abstain from blood transfusion?

  Precisely when in 1914 did the GT end???

  by JCole in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have been asking this question since studying the babylon the great book back in the '60s.

  maybe i'm thickskulled, but simply restating that it ended in october or tishri doesn't explain away my reasons for asking the question.

  i'm only looking for answers about the date in 1914, and i'm not looking for the typical apostate replies that the year is wrong.. i question october/tishri being the end of the gentile times, and thus the start of jesus' reign, for the following reasons:.
