 REFLECTION
THE GREAT TRIBULATION AFTER ANOTHER TRIBULATION.

Jehovah's Witnesses have long understood the facets of the sign of the presence of Christ as a description of the conditions that would precede the great tribulation.
There is an initial sequence of events that leads to tribulation, but we should not assume that it extends for more than a century, or even for a few years. This fact is confirmed in Revelation with the opening of the symbolic parchment with the seven seals.

The opening of the second, third and fourth seals releases the riders from war, hunger and pestilence, in that order. That is the same ordering of the events Jesus talked about when he predicted:
Luke 21: 10-11 - "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; 11 and there will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another pestilences and shortages of food; and there will be dreadful scenes, and great signs from heaven. "

Coincidentally, when God brought judgment against Jerusalem through Babylon, the same sequence of events is enumerated. The sword of war, the famine and the disease that Jehovah brought on Jerusalem and the surrounding nations obviously induced a tribulation, a time of great anguish .

Since 1930, the slave has taught that all seals were revealed in the period of 1914. In fact, until about 1970, the slave even taught that the great tribulation began during the First World War, but that God shortened it.

In the publication REVELATION, which was published in 1988, he continued to teach that the seven seals were opened consecutively around 1914. That includes the sixth seal, which announces catastrophic events, such as the sun and the moon darken and the stars fall from the sky and every mountain and island swings from its base.
The opening of the symbolic seals of the scroll of Jehovah's inspiring judgments is anticlimactic.

In this year, 2018, the Watchtower continues proclaiming that Christ came in 1914 and that the First World War and the Spanish Influenza were the visible result of his great coming.

The Great Tribulation is our immediate future. But the signs of Jesus PREVIOUS to the Great Tribulation are acquiring an unforeseen meaning to date.

Take, for example, the verse quoted above where Jesus declared: "There will be dreadful signs and great signs from heaven".

Vladimir Putin revealed on March 1 the hypersonic missile of Russia, which can cross the skies at more than 5,000 miles per hour and approach its goal at the level of treetops, evading all missile defense systems. We are not talking about science fiction. This is real. In addition, Russia and China are developing weapons that can launch satellites from the sky.

Consider also, killer robots that are already in production. Do you think it could be a fearful vision to see a machine killing people indiscriminately? The most sinister, the USA UU., Russia and China are all running to place nuclear weapons in the skies, in space.

With regard to food shortages, typically food shortages and famines occur as a result of poor harvests and, to a lesser extent, of the disturbances caused by the war; But in the modern world of just-in-time delivery, food shortages could occur in a time of plenty if a single link in the distribution chain breaks. For example, a war in the Middle East could close the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic strangler through which pass tanks loaded with oil that supply half the world's oil. No oil, no fuel for delivery trucks and agricultural equipment or raw material for fertilizers.

A global pandemic seems inevitable. Not only because more and more microbes are developing resistance to antibiotics, creating so-called "superbugs", but diabolical men have developed biological weapons that could be easily released in populated areas.
Fortunately, although we face world war, death and destruction on a scale never before experienced, and unprecedented persecution, Jesus exhorted us to rise and cheer when we see that all these things begin to unfold. And the most reassuring thing, no matter how severe the world's greatest time of trouble, God will cut it because of the elect.

Our slave teaches us that all these signs will be seen BEFORE THE GREAT TRIBULATION, because it will be unleashed only when Jehovah motivates the eighth king to act against Babylon in a period of supposed world peace. So we still have to see horrendous things, before the Great Tribulation.

Thanks my sister queen Esther , we are truly living deep into the time of the end, very soon Jehovah will open his hand and satisfy the desire of all mankind  who were Faithfully and loyally supporting his Kingdom, more bad news to come for Satan's world, but lets look beyond , because things seen are temporary but things unseen are permanent.

    • An interesting concept, bible discipline. I am struck by the prevalence of ignorance about spiritual discipline on "Reddit." While physical and mental disciplines receive attention, the profound impact of spiritual discipline on a person's physical and mental well-being is often overlooked. Is it possible to argue against the words of the Apostle Paul? When he penned those words in Hebrews 12, he was recognizing that there are moments when an individual must be "rebuked" in order to be corrected. Even Jesus himself established a precedent when he rebuked Peter and referred to him as Satan for failing to comprehend what Jesus had already revealed to the apostles. Did that imply that Jesus had an evil heart? Not at all, it was quite the opposite; Jesus had a loving heart. His need to correct Peter actually showcased his genuine love for him. If he hadn't cared, he would have let Peter persist in his mistaken ways, leading to a fate similar to Judas'. There is a clear emphasis on avoiding the apostate translation and its meaning, yet many seem to overlook the biblical foundation for the reasons NOT to follow the path of the fallen brethren or those with an apostate mentality. Those individuals have embraced the path of darkness, where the illuminating power of light cannot penetrate, to avoid receiving the righteous discipline based on God's Bible teachings. They are undoubtedly aware that this undeniable truth of life must be disregarded in order to uphold their baseless justifications for the unjust act of shunning. Can anyone truly "force" someone or stop them from rejecting a friend or family member? Such a notion would be absurd, considering the fact that we all have the power of free will. If a Witness decides to distance themselves from a family member or friend simply because they have come out as gay, who is anyone within the organization to question or challenge that personal sentiment? It is unfortunate that there are individuals, both within and outside the organization, who not only lack a proper understanding of the Bible but also dare to suggest that God's discipline is barbaric. We must remember that personal choices should be respected, and it is not for others to judge or condemn someone based on their sexual orientation but should be avoided under biblical grounds. No one should have the power to compel an individual to change their sexual orientation, nor should anyone be forced to accept someone for who they are. When it comes to a family's desire to shield their children from external influences, who has the right to challenge the parents' decision? And if a family's rejection of others is based on cultural factors rather than religious beliefs, who can impose religious judgment on them? Who should true followers of Christ follow? The words of God or those who believe they can change God's laws to fit their lives? How can we apply the inspired words of Paul from God to embrace the reality of God's discipline? On the contrary, how can nonconformists expect to persuade those with a "worldview" that their religious beliefs are unacceptable by ostracizing individuals, when God condemns homosexuality? This is precisely why the arguments put forth by ex-witnesses are lacking in their pursuit of justice. When they employ misguided tactics, justice remains elusive as their arguments are either weak or inconsistent with biblical standards. Therefore, it is crucial to also comprehend Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 9:27. The use of the word "shun" is being exaggerated and excessively condemned by those who reject biblical shunning as a form of punishment. Eph 5:3-14 NIV 3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person — such a man is an idolater — has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.  6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. 7 Therefore do not be partners with them.  8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible. The impact of the message becomes significantly stronger when we emphasize the importance of avoiding any association with unrighteousness and those who remain unrepentant. In fact, it becomes even more compelling when we witness how some individuals, who dismiss biblical shunning as a method of discipline, excessively criticize and condemn the use of the word "shun". Therefore, Jehovah's Witnesses do not shun people; instead, they choose to focus on the negative actions being committed, which is in accordance with biblical teachings. This should be construed as ex-Witness rhetoric. Now, let's consider why ex-Witnesses specifically target one particular religion. What justifications do they provide when other Christian denominations also adhere to the same principle grounded in the Bible? Chapter 1 - Preface Both must therefore test themselves: the one, if he is qualified to speak and leave behind him written records; the other, if he is in a right state to hear and read: as also some in the dispensation of the Eucharist, according to  custom enjoin that each one of the people individually should take his part. One's own conscience is best for choosing accurately or shunning. And its firm foundation is a right life, with suitable instruction. But the imitation of those who have already been proved, and who have led correct lives, is most excellent for the understanding and practice of the commandments. "So that whosoever shall eat the bread and drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup."  It therefore follows, that every one of those who undertake to promote the good of their neighbours, ought to consider whether he has betaken himself to teaching rashly and out of rivalry to any; if his communication of the word is out of vainglory; if the the only reward he reaps is the salvation of those who hear, and if he speaks not in order to win favour: if so, he who speaks by writings escapes the reproach of mercenary motives. "For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know," says the apostle, "nor a cloak of covetousness. God is witness. Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome as the apostles of Christ. But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children."   (from Ante-Nicene Fathers, Volume 2) Divine promises 2. The manner of shunning, in the word escaping. There is a flying away required, and that quickly, as in the plague, or from a fire which hath almost burned us, or a flood that breaketh in upon us. We cannot soon enough escape from sin (Matt 3:7; Heb 6:18). No motion but flight becomes us in this case. Doctrine: That the great end and effect of the promises of the gospel is to make us partakers of the Divine nature. (from The Biblical Illustrator)  
    • Clearly, they are already demanding your exile. Yes! It's unfortunate that Pudgy spoiled a great discussion about science. I hope the discussion can continue without any more nonsensical interruptions. Just a suggestion since they are on your heels. Wow! You speak! It seems you have a lot to say! Now they are going to treat like, who do you think you are, mister big stuff! Are those aliens now going to imply that anyone who speaks out against the five or six key contributors to this site will be treated as though it is George just because those in opposition speak the language they hate to hear, the TRUTH? They are seeking individuals who will embrace their nonconformist values and appreciate what they can offer in shaping public opinion contrary to the established agenda of God and Christ. Their goal is to enhance their writing abilities and avoid squandering time on frivolous pursuits, mainly arguing about the truth they don't care for. They see it all as a mere game, even when leading people astray. They believe they have every right to and will face no biblical repercussions, or so they believe. They just want to have fun just like that Cyndi Lauper song. Be prepared to be belittled and ridiculed, all the while they claim to be angels. Haha! By the way, please refrain from using the same language as George. They appear to believe that when others use the same words, it means they are the same person, and they emphasize this as if no one else is allowed to use similar grammar. It seems they think only they have the right to use the same or similar writing styles. Quite amusing, isn't it? See, what I just placed in bold, now I'm George, lol! Now, let's leave this nice science thread for people that want to know more about science. I believe George left it at "Zero Distance."  
    • Nice little thread you’ve got going here, SciTech. It would be a shame if something were to happen to it.
    • It's truly disheartening when someone who is supposed to be a friend of the exclusive group resorts to using profanity in their comments, just like other members claiming to be witnesses. It's quite a ludicrous situation for the public to witness.  Yet, the "defense" of such a person, continues. 
    • No. However, I would appreciate if you do not reveal to all and sundry the secret meeting place of the closed club. (I do feel someone bad stomping on Sci’s little thread. But I see that has already happened.)
