We will see if anything different happens or not this time. In the meantime, you can get excited and guess if you like. Other than that not relating to Bible prophecy, hope life doesn’t get harder for me resulting from this.

Where will the war in Ukraine lead to?
by Kosonen inthere has been comments in the news recently that the war in ukraine could be the beginning to the world war three.. i would not be surprised if it is.
.
the bible says a time will come when the peace will be taken from the earth.. revelation 6:4 another came out, a fiery-colored horse, and it was granted to the one seated on it to take peace away from the earth so that they should slaughter one another, and he was given a great sword.. have you heard what possibly this war in ukraine could lead to?.

The only man in the room - Kennedy 1962
by slimboyfat inin the current situation, it’s worth listening to this podcast about nuclear near misses.
the cuban missile crisis was only one example, but is worth considering.
in 1962 the united states and russia went eyeball to eyeball over russia’s military base in cuba.

If trump was president,
He wouldn’t be president for ever and and would be a matter of time before Ukraine would be invaded.

remove your base from Turkey and we will remove our troops from Cuba.
Different chessboard nowadays. Is that the only move now or is it better to have Russia war with Ukraine and maybe takeover Ukraine?
Also, nuke threat is not about weakening US power in Eastern Europe or else but about not interfering militarily with Ukrainian invasion.

by Witness 007 inwatchtower 1974 p.167 "by disobediently over indulging in food and making a glutton of himself he shows no love for jehovah..in the presents of others does he ignore their needs and selfishly take more then his fair share?
is he grossly overweight gorging himself?
does he feel uncomfortable even getting sick...this person has no place in the congregation of god...they will not inherit gods kingdom.".

"Somebody" needs to do "Something!"
by Terry init's always unjustifiable for a country to attack another country without having first been attacked itself.. the nuremberg trials at the end of wwii made this clear.. more vividly too: following orders as a patriotic duty is never secondary to the pangs of your personal conscience.. .
worst of all, hypocrisy destroys credibility when you.
criticize other countries for doing what you have done.. .

Is US killing with cotton or blowing up people so they don’t get maimed or killed or hurt. —Watch the movie “ Turtles can fly.”
The media only shows the wrongs of the enemy.Sometimes the length is too short or not long enough like in the sinking on the Maine, allowing Pearl Harbor to be attacked, nuking Japan and the Vietnam war as you have seen in the movies. Anybody that gets in the way during battle can get killed “innocent” or guilty. Soldiers are not judges, they want to get put of there alive.
But the USA states does not go around invading democratic countries, unless my memory is failing me.
How sweet no to invade your allies.

That is not always true, Terry. You can push a person too far.

TD,
I enjoy your posts.
I already stated that WT fills out the Rev book crossword puzzle in pencil—along with other interpretations of the Bible.
Also, in a previous post I stated that WT does not define the identity of Babylon the Great in the “Insight” book article about the topic but explains why it is not Rome or a political entity. WT suggest in the article that the subject is religious. The Bible does not identify Babylon the Great but Rev says that it is a mystery but the book of Rev also gives clues about her identity wanting that the reader come to his own conclusion. WT has concluded in the past that Babylon the Great is “the world empire of false religion.” —That belief isn’t wild mish mash it makes sense, it lines up with scripture and at the very least is plausible.
IF Jesus truly was who he claimed he was it was not arrogance for him to speak of himself as the bread of life that came down from heaven and that Messianic prophecies applied to him. However, so it seemed and that is why the Pharisees told Jesus to rebuke his disciples when they extolled him as the Messiah.
WT methodology is not faulty because WT uses scripture to interpret scripture; that is the algorithm WT uses.
”I am coming quickly.” Those Christians were in expectation of Jesus’s return same as the ancient people that God made promises to looked forward to their reward. So those persecuted Christians at the time Rev was written were practically encouraged because the book of Rev helped convince them of the certainty of their reward. But they all died and the realization of what Rev says did not happen at that time. Therefore, the book of Rev is about the future same as the promises written in the “ old testament “ as I also pointed out that the Millenium rule, final test, the resurrection of the dead, etc. is prophecy about the future.

faulty results.
TD, Thanks for your response.
Need to solve the crossword puzzle in pencil. You pointed out mistaken wt conclusions but I don’t think the methodology is faulty because it uses only scripture to solve the puzzle.
Rev is not simply history and instruction. It is about relief from human suffering and ultimate justice.
