  KEEP ON THE WATCH!

  Record-Breaking Temperatures Worldwide—What Does the Bible Say?

  During July 2022, record-breaking temperatures were reported worldwide:
  

  • “China issues highest heat alert for almost 70 cities in second heatwave this month.”—July 25, 2022, CNN Wire Service.

  • “Forest fires rage across Europe as heatwave sends temperatures soaring.”—July 17, 2022, The Guardian.

  • “Cities across the United States set temperature records on Sunday as a summer heat wave spread across the East Coast and parts of the South and Midwest.”—July 24, 2022, The New York Times.

  What does all this mean? Will the earth eventually become unfit for life? What does the Bible say?

  Do heat waves fulfill Bible prophecy?

  Yes. Global heat waves fit events that the Bible foretold for our time. For example, Jesus prophesied that we would see “fearful sights,” or “strange and terrifying things.” (Luke 21:11; Good News Translation) Rising global temperatures have led many to fear that mankind will ruin the earth.

  Jesus foretold food shortages, earthquakes, pestilences and the increase of lawlessness in the ''end times.'' ( I stopped believing any of this a while ago )

  Now comes this article (which tries to fit the Watchtower Society narrative), where Jesus supposedly foretells ''climate change.'' This article states that ''fearful sights'' and ''strange and terrifying things'' could only mean one thing...Jesus predicted Global heat waves.

  Talk about reading into things!

  Even the everlasting wt paradise will succumb to the final heat wave, when the sun expands to 1 AU size, engulfing the earth a merre 4 billion years from now, an age, that does not even register on the eternity scale.

  Elon Musk's starships to the rescue, for Mars, and more distant, cooler destinations.

  Send Elon some wt tracts please. make him a publisher, Armageddon survivor.

  They could have just used 2 Peter 3:10:

  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

  Can't let a crisis go to waste.

  The WT and other religious nutcases have benefited from the fact the the writers of the goat herders manual, were so vague about the predictions that they can be used for anything.

  There will be "fearful sights". Oh really? Is there anything terrible that can't be applied to that?

  "There will be earthquakes in some places".... oh ok. Want to give us more detail goat herder? What day and time, and where? Then your prediction can have some teeth.

  Here I can make a prediction that is just as impressive:

  Oh ye of little faith, there will be plane crashes in the future..... Now, I won't tell you when, where, how many or any other details. Just remember to give me credit when the next one happens.

  Jw (indeed all 'christian') theology belongs in the shit can of history.

  For example, Jesus prophesied that we would see “fearful sights,” or “strange and terrifying things.”

  This is exactly why WT deliberately plays on fear... WT wants JW minds in a constant state of suspended urgency...

  They really exploited fear with their "GB Updates" about covid/vax.

  But they've been fear-baiting since the first issue of the WT 1879.

  Fear Armageddon

  Fear God's Disapproval

  Fear Disfellowshipping

  Fear Loss of Privileges

  Fear Covid

  Fear being Unvax

  Fear Summer weather

  List goes on and on...

  Control by fear... it's part of the FOGS manipulation strategies, and it is effective.

  The bible is filled with it, which makes its easy for high-control groups to point at the words of Jesus or other verses as authoritative proof we should urgently stay on the watch, ever alert for “strange and terrifying things.” 2000 years of it.

  It would be nice if they had included verse 8 which precedes it.

  “He said: “Look out that you are not misled,h for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The due time is near.’ Do not go after them.i “

  King James Bible

  Luke 21: 10-12

  10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

  11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

  
  

  New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)

  10 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation,k and kingdom against kingdom.l 11 There will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another food shortages and pestilences;m and there will be fearful sights and from heaven great signs.
  

  Notice the two different translations. King James Bible and other Bible translations have : fearful sights and great signs shall be from heaven, while the Jehovah's Witness slanted version of their Bible has; fearful sights and from heaven great signs. Talk about manipulation. That is how the Watchtower Society control their members. One word changes the whole meaning of the passage.

  Fear full sights and events foretold but never what exactly. But leave it to Watchtower to use any event it can.
