Without getting into the logic and reasoning behind your detailed  explanation of "Which Came first, the Chicken or the Egg?', I would like to state as a side thought that the Chicken came first.

NO  question.....   ALL  animals  came  first,  bec. Jehovah  created  perfect  animals  and  NO  eggs,  hahaha  -  also  the  perfect  plants  we  saw  and  NO  seeds....  The

Chickens actually ... as it takes two to make a viable egg.

The attached document was downloaded from JW.ORG many years ago.

I do love chickens, but I am seeing that what km says to JWs is true:

“Realistically, we may find it challenging to explain deep Bible truths, such as how we know that the Kingdom started ruling in 1914.” km 10/14 

After reading how the theoretical conversation is left dangling, I understand how it is far easier to talk about chickens; since realistically, 1 Thess 5:1-3 says,

“But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.  For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.  For when they are saying, “Peace and safety,” then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman; and they will in no way escape. 

“Jehovah’s people enjoy a special environment of peace in the earthly part of his organization.”  Wt 15/7/15

“Now is the time to return to our heavenly Father’s loving arms and to the congregation—the only safe haven in these last days.”   Wt 13/11/15

“Still, as a people, “the chosen ones” and their loyal companions will physically survive the end of apostate Christendom by taking refuge in Jehovah and his mountainlike organization”  Wt 11/1/15

The situation is ripe for the coming “birth” of God’s Kingdom.

There are many prophecies in the Bible that have two fulfillments.

Also, here are some ideas to consider regarding birth pains...

  1. Jehovah told Eve: "...in pain you will give birth to children..." (Gen 3.16)
  2. This was punishment for having disobeyed him.
  3. Jesus did NOT disobey him.
  4. Maybe the birth of God's Kingdom was without suffering pain because Jesus was obedient.

Well, will the Kingdom come before Christ’s kings who will rule him, are complete in number?

Jesus became king way before 1914.

 Rabbi," Nathanael replied, "You are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel! "   John 1:49

His rule began immediately, when he ascended into heaven.  Ps 110:1,2; 1 Cor 15:24,25  During the time span from then until now, his enemies will be completely conquered, with Armageddon as the final battle.

“Now since the children have flesh and blood in common, Jesus also shared in these, so that through his death he might destroy the one holding the power of death -- that is, the devil – Heb 2:14 (1 Cor 15:24,25)

Also, during this time period, each prospective “king”/anointed one is tested – judged for their faithfulness and obedience, just as Jesus was, before receiving their inheritance. 

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each may be repaid for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.”  2 Cor 5:10

The Watchtower teaches there are two judgment periods, one at Armageddon, and for a literal thousand years afterwards, but the true purpose of Christ’s “thousand year reign” which began when he ascended into heaven, is to bring Satan’s world to an end, just as 1 Cor 15:24,25 states.

The “birth” of God’s Kingdom does not arrive until all of Christ’s ruling kings are sealed in the heavens. The Watchtower has twisted the order of events, saying Christ will rule for a thousand years after Armageddon with his kings, before God’s Kingdom arrives. Or, do they say, that Christ rules for a thousand years during God’s Kingdom?  Which is it, and how do you keep up with it, since this teaching (not from Christ, John 8:31) has changed a number of times?

  Who is it that is primarily judged (as well as all of us) during the “thousand years”? John 12:31  It is these prospective priestly kings. They are judged during each one’s lifetime since the first century.  It is a time of bringing “everything together” in Christ.  Eph 1:9-12.  Each one must individually “throw Satan down”. (Rev 12:10,11;2:26)   Armageddon culminates when all faithful ruling kings together with Christ, bring Satan to his ruin. 

The “labor pains” are symbolic, referring to the promise God’s anointed ones are under – the New Covenant.  Individually, each anointed one experience theses pains (Gal 4:19) before becoming sealed.  The “pains” epitomize the struggle against Satan’s deceptions and how the faithful succeed against him.  Eph 6:12; Heb 12:23  When the right number are sealed, the Kingdom is “born”, because the New Covenant “woman” has given birth.   Rev 12:1,2 (Gal 4:26)

 

If anything, Satan was “let loose”  in 1914 from the abyss, unrestrained, to create his “delusion” of 2 Thess 2:1-12, called the Watchtower organization.  Rev 13:1,7  He desires as many as possible of Christ’s unsealed priests/kings to be destroyed, to stave off the coming Kingdom of God.  What better way to do so, than to create a counterfeit “truth”, where the majority are now conveniently “gathered”.  Rev 20:3,7-10

    • It appears to me that this is a key aspect of the 2030 initiative ideology. While the Rothschilds were indeed influential individuals who were able to sway governments, much like present-day billionaires, the true impetus for change stems from the omnipotent forces (Satan) shaping our world. In this case, there is a false God of this world. However, what drives action within a political framework? Power! What is unfolding before our eyes in today's world? The relentless struggle for power. The overwhelming tide of people rising. We cannot underestimate the direct and sinister influence of Satan in all of this. However, it is up to individuals to decide how they choose to worship God. Satanism, as a form of religion, cannot be regarded as a true religion. Consequently, just as ancient practices of child sacrifice had a place in God's world, such sacrifices would never be accepted by the True God of our universe. Despite the promising 2030 initiative for those involved, it is unfortunately disintegrating due to the actions of certain individuals in positions of authority. A recent incident serves as a glaring example, involving a conflict between peaceful Muslims and a Jewish representative that unfolded just this week. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/11/us-delegation-saudi-arabia-kippah?ref=upstract.com Saudi Arabia was among the countries that agreed to the initiative signed by approximately 179 nations in or around 1994. However, this initiative is now being undermined by the devil himself, who is sowing discord among the delegates due to the ongoing Jewish-Hamas (Palestine) conflict. Fostering antisemitism. What kind of sacrifice does Satan accept with the death of babies and children in places like Gaza, Ukraine, and other conflicts around the world, whether in the past or present, that God wouldn't? Whatever personal experiences we may have had with well-known individuals, true Christians understand that current events were foretold long ago, and nothing can prevent them from unfolding. What we are witnessing is the result of Satan's wrath upon humanity, as was predicted. A true religion will not involve itself in the politics of this world, as it is aware of the many detrimental factors associated with such engagement. It understands the true intentions of Satan for this world and wisely chooses to stay unaffected by them.
    • This idea that Satan can put Jews in power implies that God doesn't want Jews in power. But that would also imply that God only wants "Christians" including Hitler, Biden, Pol Pot, Chiang Kai-Shek, etc. 
    • @Mic Drop, I don't buy it. I watched the movie. It has all the hallmarks of the anti-semitic tropes that began to rise precipitously on social media during the last few years - pre-current-Gaza-war. And it has similarities to the same anti-semitic tropes that began to rise in Europe in the 900's to 1100's. It was back in the 500s AD/CE that many Khazars failed to take or keep land they fought for around what's now Ukraine and southern Russia. Khazars with a view to regaining power were still being driven out into the 900's. And therefore they migrated to what's now called Eastern Europe. It's also true that many of their groups converted to Judaism after settling in Eastern Europe. It's possibly also true that they could be hired as mercenaries even after their own designs on empire had dwindled.  But I think the film takes advantage of the fact that so few historical records have ever been considered reliable by the West when it comes to these regions. So it's easy to fill the vacuum with some very old antisemitic claims, fables, rumors, etc..  The mention of Eisenhower in the movie was kind of a giveaway, too. It's like, Oh NO! The United States had a Jew in power once. How on earth could THAT have happened? Could it be . . . SATAN??" Trying to tie a connection back to Babylonian Child Sacrifice Black Magick, Secret Satanism, and Baal worship has long been a trope for those who need to think that no Jews like the Rothschilds and Eisenhowers (????) etc would not have been able to get into power in otherwise "Christian" nations without help from Satan.    Does child sacrifice actually work to gain power?? Does drinking blood? Does pedophilia??? (also mentioned in the movie) Yes, it's an evil world and many people have evil ideologies based on greed and lust and ego. But how exactly does child sacrifice or pedophilia or drinking blood produce a more powerful nation or cabal of some kind? To me that's a giveaway that the authors know that the appeal will be to people who don't really care about actual historical evidence. Also, the author(s) of the video proved that they have not done much homework, but are just trying to fill that supposed knowledge gap by grasping at old paranoid and prejudicial premises. (BTW, my mother and grandmother, in 1941 and 1942, sat next to Dwight Eisenhower's mother at an assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses. The Eisenhower family had been involved in a couple of "Christian" religions and a couple of them associated with IBSA and JWs for many years.)
