The word'armageddon' is found only once in the bible in revelation 16:16 'And they gathered them together to the place that is called in Hebrew Armageddon' and is directly associated with "the war of great day of God the Almighty" Revelation 16:14.
Revelation talks about 7 bowls of plagues poured down by the angels and if Armagaddon has come all those who are not in Jehovah's memory will be destroyed and only the righteous one will survive into the paradise earth.Those destroyed will be from one corner to the other corner and so far the prophecy is not fulfilled yet.
If you study the prophesies of our times mentioned in Revelation,the 6th bowl has poured out and now we are awaiting for the 7th bowl to materialise in our time. The pouring of the first bowl to the 6th bowl are the fulfullments of the prophesies mentioned about the 'last days' prophesied by Jesus Christ in Mathew 24:3-13. In the last book of the bible,Revelation,its prophesies mentioned are symbolic and need the wise ones to explain its meaning and you can refer to our aid book,'Revelation' which can be downloaded from website:jw.org,hope its explanation can quench your curiosity in searching the truth about our true God. The interest cultivated may offer you the chance of living forever.Cheers!
Revelation 16:12 talks about the sixth angel poured out the his bowl upon the great river Euphrates and its water was dried up,that the way might be prepared for the kings from the rising of the sun.This is too a bad news for Babylon the great which is an empire of false religions.
These few days the world markets are crashing down even though China has 7% growth and its situation is like what the scriptures say in 2Tim3:1-7,'But know this,that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here.2 For men will be lovers of themselves,lovers of money,self-assuming,haughty,blasphemers,disobedient to parents,unthankful,disloyal.3 having no natural affection ,not open to agreement,slanderers....without love of goodness.4.....lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God. 5 having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power and from these turn away..... 7 always learning and yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of truth. In Revelation 16:15 describes Jesus will come as a theif as Jehovah's executioner and warn followers to be spiritual alert.Also Reveletion3:3, 2Peter3:10 ask us to get ready as we do not know the hour. As for me I am here to render my duty as a worshiper of God to impart this knowledge to you so that you will have salvation
I hope the you will understand that God does love you but he must destroy the disobedient ones in order to have real peace for the meek ones to enjoy the paradise earth without wickedness to harm them.So let's support His sovereignty for the sake of meek ones.
Actually,we can virtualise how the earth will be without the bad and dominating ones around,at least the exploitation of our time and energy is absent and equally rewarded for our contribution. During our spare time we can sing,compose our own music,songs and do painting and experiment all kinds of cooking and share all our good things among us without any competition.Wha!how joyful it will be,isn't it.
After the Isrealites left Eygpt,they were in the wilderness for 40 years and where they learned and practised God's laws i.e ten commandments. When they entered the promised land,it was Joshua who led them into the land The whole nation was under rulership of Jehovah during Joshua's time and they were in pure worship without idolatry worship.As they fought the wars and took the land they didn't chase the inhabitants out and even had intermarriages and started to worship their false gods.They continued to do what was bad in Jehovah's eyes and were forgetful of Jehovah their God and involved in worship of false gods.Jehovah's anger blaze them and they lost many wars and sons of Isreal began to call to Jehovah for aid. Then Jehovah's spirit came upon Othniel,the younger brother of Caleb who became the next judge. When he went out to fight Syria,he won and overpowered Cu'shan-rishatha'im,its king.And after that their land had no disturbance for forty years. Eventually Oth'niel died,once again the Isrealites went to do what was bad in Jehovah'eyes,they lost their wars to their enemies,Eg'lon,the king of mo'ab and served him for 18 years.But again Isrealites called to Jehovah for help,Jehovah raised a savior,E'hud who murdered Eg'lon,then Isrealites fought against the Moabites and won the wars and set themselves free from them.
Coldrisk,don't be smart when you are not,anyone that blasphemes against God the sin is not forgiven.The name,Jehovah appears more than seven thousands times in the Hebrew and Greek scriptures.In the 'perfaces' pages of many English translated bibles,the translators do confess that God's name is replaced by 'Lord' or 'God' instead of Jehovah. Their excuse of not using the name,Jehovah is because they are not sure of its exact pronouncement of God when it is translated into English language from Hebrew and Greek Languages. Jesus instructed us to glority and magnify God's name,Jehovah. You are really lawless in your accusation calling Jehovah a farmer,really a foolish and senseless,useless human. Billions of people including the kings and the very rich still give reverend respect to the most high God even though a lot of them worship God in the the wrong ways. But none of them dare to blaspheme God except you,are you greater than God or just a spect of dust showing off before the most high God,shame on you,useless and worthless being. Please ask for forgiveness from God for your ignorance and stupidity.

In the galaxies and milky ways in the universe there are millions of planets created by Him. On earth itself we humans and animals are miraculously made with many self functioning processes like the digestive,breathing systems and food tranportation from one cell to another in the blood,cell renewal,reproductive abilities and so many other functions cannot come by chance,it needs a planner to design the system for right functions.The bible mentions Jesus was the co-worker with Jehovah to create things and that He is the potter and we are his vessels. Evolution theory is rubbish and guess work and cannot support its claim of mutation. For six thousands years one monkey hasn't evolved into any human,yet they claim we are from them.What a joke to believe in such a stupid mirth.
Many live their lives without pondering about the origin of life,they take it for granted and never query about its sustenance of life by itself until they struck with terminal sicknesses like cancer or aids or their beloved ones suddenly died.These will rock them to their senses and make to think what is life. God wants humans to enjoy life to the fullest and creates a perfect earth together with all trees,plants,animals and beauty of nature for their survival and entertainment. But they forfeited these priviledges through sinning against God by their first parents'disobedience. But God exercises mercy by providing a prefect human,Jesus Christ to die for mankind as a ransom sacrifice so that human can claim back the right of the life of everlasting.Refer to website:jw.org
For 6000 years mankind has experimented all sorts of government but none of them can live in peace and security.So only those who believe in Jehovah can achieve it as we all the same principles originated from God.
Zbaikitree2,Fireman doesn't die for mankind,he is paid to do the job of putting off the fire that's why he is called a 'fireman'.Some of them may encounter the risk of life when they are putting off the fire as it is risky job.It is never in his mind to die for another person. In some cases he tries to save lives with calculated risk to carry out his duty but accidentally die bcos of unxpected mishap that causes his life. Whereas in the case of Jesus,he is assigned to die for sin of Ådam and paid the ransome sarifice so that his descendants(mankind) can claim back the rights of everlasting life which Adam has lost through his disobedience to God.Jesu said he was on earth to accomplish his assignmet just before he died.John 19:30,'he said,"it has been accomplished" and,bowinghis head he delivered up(his) spirit. Jesus was the son of God and not Almighty God,Jehovah who required a perfect human to die for Adam who was perfect when he sinned against God and no man was perfect and qualified to perform the sacrfice. In fact the coming of the Messiah (savior) was prophesized many times by few writers of the bible even though they lived in different era. This sacrifice was forshadowed by Abraham in his willingness to sacrifice his son,Issac to Jehovah who wanted to assess his obedience and he was stopped by Jehovah when he was about to performed it.
Scientists say our brain utilization is about 6% to 8% now and the other portion is not used. Wah,in paradise earth when we are perfect and utilisation of it is 100%,sure mankind can achieve much more in perfect health. I like music and would like to be a great singer and composer of classical music. Also I want to travel around the galaxies in the milky ways but some of must invent the space ships for us and have great fun.
Coldrisks,you are talking rubbish, the brain is underutilised and there is a force holding the planets to rotate in a specific direction.They are not running away from each other and will stay put there. Our bible is never outdated bcos it gives good advices for us to solve our problems and a lot of prophesies about past,present,future. We even consult the bible to know the outcome of the world conditions going to happen now and the future,it can never be outdated because it is the written word of the living God. Our powerful God in heavens and the intelligent angels are very creative and they are much more advanced and powerful than us.The earth is described is just as a stool to God. You are just a spect of dust talking abusively against our Almighty God Jehovah and pray God can be merciful towards you because of your stupidity and empty speech.
The Jehovah's wittnesses are obeying God in preaching the good news from house to house to bring salvation to the honested ones under hot sun just like Jesus's times. I will compliments them for their great works as being prophesied by Jesus in Matthew 24:14,'....this good news will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a wittness to all the nations and then the end will come'.
It is interesting to read the bible esp the book of Revelation which is so prophetic and needs a lot of reference aid book to interpret its meaning. Another interesting book is Ezekiel 38 which talks aboutvthe confrontation between Jehovah and its enemies who will be be smashed flat and destroyed at the end.
Koon Bee,sorry,I am not a prophetess that have the power to communicate and converse with him.It is not God's will to get involved with share market but his intention is to let honesthearted ones not to perish but have everlasting life. Soon He will bring an end to this wicked system and only permit meek ones to inherit this earth,so his will is to use me to carry His warning before He executes the wicked without any mercy like He has dealt with Pharoah and his army. Pls don't jump at me as I am only His instrutment to carry out the warning.
Another book of prophesies is Daniel,in Daniel 2:44.'And in the days of those kings the God of heavens will set up a kingdom that will never be bought to ruin.And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people.It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms and it itself will stand to times indefinite'. Any many years later John wrote in Rev 5:10'and you make them to be a kingdom and priests to our God and they are to rule as kings over the earth.Further in Rev 7:4...the number who were sealed a hundred and forty-four thousand,....
In revelation 14:1,'Then I saw and look!the lamb standing on mt Zion and with him 144,000 who have his name and the name of his father written on their foreheads' Again in rev 14:3'......no one was able to master that song except the 144,000 who have been bought from the earth. Hence it is true that 144k are selected from the earth to rule over the earth and the great crowd will dwell on earth. Also God will reconcile with mankind as stated in Rev 21:3,4 '....Look! The tent of God is with mankind and he will reside with them and they will reside with them and they will his people.......4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more,neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.The former things have passed away.
Many didn't feel the world bad conditions bcos nuisance here is under control not like middle east.Many people already have lost the means of livihood,strugling with survival,so we must count ourselves fortunate.
Genesis 1:2 mentions it takes one creative day to create day and night.To us one creative is 7000 years and Jehovah God takes 6 creative days to create everything on the earth so it takes 42,000 years.
In Genesis 2:3,Jehovah God called the seventh creative day a rest day that is Sabbeth Day.From Adam birth we existed 6000+ years but it is from Eve's birth,God started the rest day. The bible talks about 1000years for us to reach perfection( no creation of works} Since seven denotes completion to God so we believe the seventh day is 6000 years + 1000 years=7000 years. Hence for 6 creatve days are equal to 42,000years for God to create everything on earth.
The genealogy from Adam to Sept 1974 is 6000years but the age difference between Adam and Eve is unknown and let it be x years.So the beginning of the 7th creative to 1974 is 6000-x year.Therefore 1975 plus x years will be 6000years from Eve's birthday or the beginning of the seventh creative Day.Hence 1974+x+1000 years=7000 years. According to bible prophesy,after the Judgement Day,then 1000years of human restoration.So the judgement day should fall on 6000th year of the Seventh Creative Day or on the 6000th year of the 7000years. So the judgement day should fall on year of 1974+x,if x=44years,it is 2018,if x=50 year,then it should be 2024. But we cannot calculate the judgement day 1)the age difference,x is unknown )the calculation of 1974 is not 100% accurate as we do not know the birthdays of everyone,some months or days will be overlapping. In harmony with the bible,we will not know the exact hour because Jesus has said as regarding the hour nobody knows except his Father,Jehovah. But from the signs and prophesies written in the bible about the 'Last Days',we will know the imminence of the 'Last Days'from the fulfilments of the signs and prophesies like 1)the good news of the kingdom will be preached to all parts of the earth 2)difficult times hard to deal with 3) earthquakes.food shortages and so on... Jesus said from the budding of flowers and trees,you would know that summer was near so from the fulfilments of prophesies we knew the end would be soon. The scriptures say God must cut short the days if not,no flesh will survive,hence it is urgent to act on the truth immediately through repentance of sins and faith to survive into the paradise earth. May Jehovah God bless the righteous and meek ones.
AyamTua,if you read the bible carefully,every christian has the duty to preach the good news to others.In fact every Jehovah's witness preaches,be she a Japanese,Americian,Indian,Africian, English woman because we can salvation to thd people at large before thr end comes.We are at the end of the 6th angel pouring the bowl of God's plague which talks about the locusts exposing the falsehood of religious establishments. So we are waiting for 7th angel to pour out the last plague which will be the end of the wicked system.I will write about it later and all this knowledge is provided by jw.org and I am definitely not ordained by God. But I just want to be his believer because He is the truthful God.
Ok you mean I don't write/discuss about the last bowl of plague bought by Jehovah but others first.I will try my best to convey Jesus's love first instead of Jehovah's anger against wicked people like cruel Pharoah whom Jehovah must destroy.
I need some time to research the great foresight of Jehovah in detecting the rebellion of both humans and spirits immediately after Adam's and Eve's rebellion in Eden. Upon hearing from Eve that the sepent had deceived her to eat the forbidden fruits Jehovah is prompted to say in Genesis 3:15,'And I put enmity between you and the woman and between your offspring and her offspring.He will crush your head and you will strike him in the heel'. What is this prosphesy about?stay tune for more details.
So in the garden of Eden,a serpent spoke to Eve in Genesis 3:1-5,'...Did God really say that you must not eat from every tree of the garden.2. At this the woman said to the serpent,"We may eat of the friut of the.........3. But God has said about the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden,"you must not eat from it ,no you must touch it,otherwise you will die".4. .....the serpent said to the woman,"You certainly will not die". 5. For God knows that in the very day you eat it,your eyes will be opened and will be like God knowing good and bad". So what is the big issue here? Well,first it is was the not the serpent actually could talk but an rebelious spirit who spoke through him using the serpent as a medium bcos God didn't create a talking serpent. This evil spirit slandered God for being a liar by saying Eve would not die even God had earlier said she would die if she ate the forbidden fruit. Also by not listening to God's instruction,both Adam and Eve disobeyed, rebelled and sinned against God resulting in death as penalty.Also they sought independence,wanting their own standards of knowing good and bad. So God knew of a rebellion against Him by both humans and spirits. Hence He prophesied about two groups of offspring,one from Satan's organisation and other from God's organisation. To be continued,stay tune for more.
Many of them may think,what is this big deal?Adam and Eve just ate the forbidden fruits only and not a big sin what. But it was not the fruit itself that caused her to sin,it was her refusal to obey God's commandment or instruction that made her fall short of God. They chose to be independent and rejected God's guidance and sovereignty/rulership,they wanted to decide for themselves what was right and wrong. But Jehovah knew that they would fail miserably under human rulership and they and their descendants had lost their rights of everlasting life. So to restore everlasting life for their descendants God must have a perfect human to die for the sins of Adam in order to maintain the just/fair jurisdiction which God practised in heavens before all the angels. Hence he will have a figurative woman to produce the offspring to crush the the offspring of the original serpent,Satan.
In 1John 4:8,it says "Whoever does not love has not come to know God,because God is love".This is His dominant quality,his most important one.How wonderful it is to know that the Creator of the universe and all living things is a God of love.Everything he does is guided by that quality.This will assures us that all his purposes for human family will be fulfilled in our best interests with greatest benefits when it is under his rulership through Jesus Christ.For instance,out of love Jehovah "has set a day on which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom He has appointed,",Jesus Christ(Acts 17:31).This judgement is favourable to the rightly disposed and obedient humans with prospects of living forever on paradise earth. Just imagine if without this loving provision of a ransom sacrifice by Jesus Christ,we will be controlled by the wicked,unloving human rulerships under the influence of its god,Satan the Devil.(2Cor 4:4), 1John 5:19 says'We know that we originate with God,but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one. In fact in the garden of Eden,Satan through the serpent told Eve she would be like God knowing good and bad if she ate the forbidden fruit and literally convinced her to disobeyed God,hence seeking independence from God resulting in rejecting his rulership. So Jehovah has temporarily permitted Satan to try to prove his side of the issue that humans can decide themselves what is good and bad.But from history it had revealed that human rulerships were inadequate resulting in so much wars,sicknesses,miseries,inequality,exploitation,etc
Just in the past 100 years,over 100 millions have been killed in the wars of the nations.Today,world conditions keep getting worse.This is just what God's Word foretold would happen in "the last days" of the present system of things when "wicked men and impostors(would) advance from bad to worse"(2Tim 3:1,13).History has desmontrated beyond any doubt the truthfulness of what the Bible says:I well know,O Jehovah,that man's way does not belong to him.....even to direct his own step"(Jerimiah 10:23). So the question here is,What purpose is served by God's temporary permission of wickedness? To be continued later,stay tune.
Just now I read the Bloomberg news that 1% of the world's richest was wealthier than the 99% of the world population,could you imagine how vast is the polarity between the poor and rich today.That inequality is unheard of years ago,so where are we heading to,of course high poverty rate among the majority.
