The JWs being persecuted has no significance, other than reaping what they have sown. Do you seriously believe JWism is somehow special? What about 7th Day Adventists or Pentecostals? Are they not the “true religion” worshipping the “True God” as they all claim??
Are you forgetting the pandemics of the past that killed far more people? Yet, here we are.
You’re also forgetting that archeological sites like Gobekli Tepe prove the 6,000 year history of man to be a false narrative, which destroys any chance of using the Bible to calculate any prophecies about the last days. Even if it were true that man was only 6,000 years old, God says you can’t predict the last days.
This pandemic is just a combination of an ever growing population that is no longer isolated geographically from one another. Also, some kind of global cooperation makes sense, along with wiping out all Communist countries like China. You want to talk about threats to humanity, there you go.. We need to destroy destructive, degrading, dehumanizing cultures that help produce pandemics ( like China and their disgusting unhealthy markets and their Communism ) and then move in from there.
