Sign of the Last Days
by Fisherman inin the sermon on the mount, jesus foretold that earthquakes “in one place after another” would be part of the sign of the last days clímaxing in the great tribulation.. what could jesus possibly have meant?
using a phone app nowadays, there are earthquakes detected in one place after another but is this what jesus meant and did they have so many earthquakes throughout the centuries affter his prophecy or are these modern day detected earthquakes unique to this epoch?
how can we be sure unequivocally that modern day earthquakes are part of the sign fulfilling bible prophecy?.

He deceives my own people who dwell on the earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast, saying to those who dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound and lived.” Revelation 13:11,12,14
LOL. The deceiving being done here is by you in citing Scriptures falsely.
And I am still waiting for you to tell me where these TRUE so-called anointed (chosen ones) are today? How are they preaching and teaching, following the Lamb wherever he goes?
How is it that they 'remain virgins'?
How is it that 'no lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless'?

[As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”]
[what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?]
[“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.]
If God created Satan, is Satan, God's son?
If Jesus said he is God's son, are Jesus and Satan brothers?
Is Satan, Jesus' son?

Maybe these scriptures will help, showing the fall into false teachings:
They show nothing about falling into false teachings. These have to do with the time during the 42-months. You conveniently leave those verses out.
[5 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. 7 It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation..]
[24 They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.] [2 But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months.]
And again, when it comes to the chosen ones, these would never fall into false teachings. That is the whole point why they get chosen.
[These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among mankind and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb. No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.]

In Response to Anony Mous regarding the 144,000 and other questions...
by EasyPrompt instill, you hold onto false teachings of the wtbts which are only there for the enrichment of its chiefs.. as pointed out, the rest of the book of revelation is figurative, yet you hold that the number 144,000 is literal.
the wtbts currently says that this number is limited to those running the wtbts and that anyone claiming to be part of it outside that self-selecting group could be mentally ill.. by what reasoning (not from wtbts origin) do you believe only 144,000 people will be ‘saved’, and how do you know who is part of this self-selected group, given virtually no other religious denomination does even remotely believe in the literalism of revelation.
do they have to be jws?

Have you heard of Ray Franz? He was a genuine anointed one, and on the GB! until something clicked, and with God’s grace, the man fully awakened
Many anointed that I know, thought they were “in the truth” as well, and embraced it.What proof as to Ray being anointed? Because you say so?
Where are these anointed you know? How are they preaching and teaching the world?
Again, as I said if one was truly anointed, they would have never embraced something false believing it was true. They would have known it was false to start with if they tested it first.
And going back to Ray and saying something clicked and he was awakened, that is the case for most here and these are atheist, or at least don't believe the Bible. You don't claim they are anointed, do you?
Wasn’t Paul warning those that they were deceived into believing a lie? These ones, were not “blameless”.
Yes, it is said of them that they are deceived into believing the LIE because the LOVE OF THE TRUE was not in them. There is a judgment attached to believing the LIE. Judgment of death that is why it is said they will perish. This ties in with taking the mark.
10 and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. 11For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie, 12 in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.

Look at this translation for Matt 24:24-25 – “For false Christs shall arise, and false prophets, and will do wonderful miracles so that if it were possible, even God’s chosen ones would be deceived.”
Matt 24:24 [For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand.]
They are under a strong delusion of the lie that “Jehovah’s organization”, an idol, will lead them to salvation. (Rom 1:25) God allows this sifting of hearts, this choice of free will, just as was the case in the days of the Pharisees.
2 Thess 2: 10-12 you cited above says that those that believe the LIE did not love the truth that is why they will believe the LIE. What that means then is those that love truth won't believe the LIE.
I think it is safe to say that TRUE anointed love truth, therefore they would never believe the LIE/be deceived, so it will not be possible to lead them astray.
Also, the MOL has not come on scene yet, so the LIE/test has not been put forth yet. The MOL is the same as the wild beast/8th king, KOTN, disgusting thing, KFIC, etc.
9The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder, 10and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. 11For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie, 12in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.
4They worshiped the dragon who had given authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can wage war against it?13And the second beast performed great signs to cause even fire from heaven to come down to earth in the presence of the people. 14Because of the signs it was given to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived those who dwell on the earth, telling them to make an image to the beast that had been wounded by the sword and yet had lived.
20And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presencee had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.

Wife and I went to Vegas, not so much for Vegas but because it was convenient to fly, and hotel stay there and then rent car to go to Grand Canyon. Her JW sister and brother in-law (elder) went too. Brother in-law mocks people as we walk through the casino going to and from our rooms. 'Look at all these people wasting their money', etc.
At one point we were standing around talking near some slot machines and near them there were some arcade machines and one of them was the claw machine to try to grab something. He and his wife would not play the slot machines because that was evil wasting your money gambling and as JW's they didn't do that.
Well wouldn't you know it, they had NO PROBLEM playing the claw machine. As I stood there and watched I thought what in the heck was the difference of him putting dollar bills in the claw machine one after another, moving a little stick around and then pushing a button, trying over and over to win a dumbass stuff animal compared to putting dollar bills into slot machine and pulling a lever or pushing a button, to try to win whatever the cash payouts were.
