You could look at the Emphatic Diaglott or the Greek Interlinear. May be you will see if it is a "HE" or a "SHE". Keep up the good work Grumpy.

Narkissos

artcritic,

You seem to have a problem, not with Greek, but with classical English:

In the sentence you copied, when they say "peace & safety" then sudden distruction (sic) impends over them, just as labor - pangs on HER who is pregnant and [they] shall by no means escape, the pronoun "her" (singular feminine) doesn't refer backwards to the subject of the main clause, "they" (plural), but forward to the relative "who is pregnant," forming an independent nominal group. "Her who is pregnant" = "the pregnant woman," which only appears here as an illustration ("just as") of "their" fate.

To take another example, "they will fall like flies" does not imply that "they" are flying insects.

Who will cry PEACE & SECURITY?

IMO, the nations, after they destroy Babylon the Great. Which I believe will be the end result of the War On Terror.

Flash, while we pointed out in the prior comments that the verse isn't intended to be read the way you are doing, it might be of interest for you to know that until a few decades ago the WT spun the words the very way you are.

The Latest

Now would it not be interesting if it were true that The Watchtower Society joined the UN for more then just gaining access to the Library? Such as for example, to cause or instagate havoc within as they do throughout the world with families? And thus would accomplish two goals at the same time. One, gaining knowledge from the UN, and two causing friction and making the UN cry for P & C would make it appear as though what they teach in their lit. is true! Now, these are only hypothetical opinions, so please do not take them at face value!

I understand that. I am convinced they had a number of things right, but not satisfied, changed them. In 1995 when they dropped the Last Generation doctrine, it was clearly because Eighty ONE years had passed since 1914 and that they were applying Psalms 90: 10 literaly. When all they had to do was look around them at everyone older than eighty to know the scripture has to be a figuer of speech!

So yes, I am convinced the UN is the Beast with the 'death stroke healed' and that it will it time be 'Fully Empowered' to command the earth governments, for the sake of 'Peace and Security,' to destroy all organized religion everywhere...including the WTS.

Ade

it is simply to show a quiet time, where non are expecting any event , possibly even a time when the JW's have completely changed their doctrine and say "oh we misinterpreted the scriptures, Christ wont be here in the near future" then suddenly .

then as an eagle upon a field mouse, as an elder upon an apostate, unexpectingly the end will come.
