"Spiritual Israelites" 😀😀😀😀😀
The cult's perverted wording of Scriptures is deeply ingrained: Galatians 6:16 - "...the Israel of God."
the watchtower conflates two different groups into one fictional church-age group that according to the watchtower, are saved by works and faith/membership in the jehovah witness organization.
according to watchtower, only the now mostly dead 144k receive the promises of god regarding justification .
everbody else missed the boat and must work for their justification for a thousand years.

not just jw's, but countless others (evangelicals etc.
) are claiming that we're in the "last days.".
but........bible students/jw's have been spouting this fake message since the 19th century!!!!!!.
@ Jhine, if you look at any of the religious satellite TV channels on any evening, YouTube, or just Google "are we in the last days," you'll find there's a multitude worldwide who believe these are "the last days."
You're right - no Catholic predictions so far.
the watchtower conflates two different groups into one fictional church-age group that according to the watchtower, are saved by works and faith/membership in the jehovah witness organization.

(Revelation 7:9) "After this I saw, and look! a great crowd, (Christian converts) which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues,..."
(Revelation 13:7) "It was permitted to wage war with the holy ones (Christians) and conquer them, and it was given authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation." (non-Christians)
Thereby contesting with the 3 witnesses of Revelation 11:3-6 and (Revelation 14:6 - "And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, and he had everlasting good news to declare to those (non-Christians) who dwell on the earth, to every nation and tribe and tongue and people."

It's been a very successful recruitment tool & money earner though.
However, the timing of Biblical events & language haven't kept pace with the org's chariot:
Revelation 1:1 - "A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place."
Revelation 3:10, 11 - "I will also keep you from the hour of test, which is to come upon the entire inhabited earth, to put to the test those dwelling on the earth. I am coming quickly."
Revelation 11:14 -"The second woe is past. Look! The third woe is coming quickly."
Revelation 22:6 - "He said to me: “These words are faithful and true; yes, Jehovah, the God who inspired the prophets, has sent his angel to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place."
Revelation 22:10 - "He also tells me: “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, for the appointed time is near."
Revelation 22:12 -“‘Look! I am coming quickly,"
Revelation 22:20 - “The one who bears witness of these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming quickly.’”
Conclusion: Doesn't look like the "last days" have even started yet - lett alone (😁) being in the final part of the final part of them!
"when will this hope be fulfilled?
the bible foretold events that would signal that god’s kingdom is about to begin its rule over the earth.
present world conditions match what the bible foretold.

what's next for the world?
a year ago i edited a map of the world to include some big arrows to tell the story of what is to come.
and i shared that map with various friends.
From a Scriptural perspective, (as far as I can see!) all of earth's inhabitants, whether Christian or non-Christian, will be given a clear choice - worship/serve either the wild beast or God:
Revelation 13:7,11,12 - "And it [the wild beast] was given authority over every tribe, people, language, & nation.... another beast...required all the earth and its people to worship the first beast.."
Revelation 14:6,7 - "Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every every tribe, people, language, & nation. “Fear GOD,” he shouted. “Give glory to HIM. For the time has come when he will sit as judge. Worship HIM who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all the springs of water.”
Event "God's organization" - via trollies & door-knocking - couldn't reach every tribe, people, language, & nation with such a message.
the acronym uap once stood for "unidentified aerial phenomena," until december 2022. .
then the pentagon updated its terminology to encompass "submerged and trans-medium objects.".

There are probably more UFO's than JW's in Ireland. 😄
a very certain distinctive of jws is how they refer to themselves.
"one of jehovah's witnesses".
it's one of those coded jargon thingies.
"Why do you call yourselves Jehovah's witnesses? The Bible says Christians were to be witnesses of Christ!"
