THE "Time Of The End" -- When Does It Start?

[Abaddon (Ex. 23:21)]

THE "TIME OF THE END" -- WHEN DOES IT START?

Most people know all too well, the Watchtower Society used a specific date to identify the "time of the end"... the date of 1914.

However, rather than point to a specific date, the YORWW Congregation, only says there would be certain key events that would characterize the period the bible speaks of as the "time of the end."

For example, we find the expression the "time of the end" found in Daniel 11:40 which says:

"And in the time of the end the king of the south will engage with him in a pushing, and against him the king of the north will storm with chariots and horsemen and with many ships; and he will certainly enter into the lands and flood over and pass through."

Based upon the above prophecy, the YORWW Congregation believes this "pushing" of the King of the South has already started, as of the direct actions taken by the United States and so-called "Coalition Forces" in attempting to transplant a "Democratic" government in Iraq, amid a very unfriendly environment of Islamic Nations and inner turmoil among Iraqi citizens. All of this occurred as we know, in the early part of the year of 2003, as we recall. However, still we do not say that the "time of the end" actually started in the year of 2003, since we know of other important biblical, prophetic events which actually PRECEDED these events also. These are simply the facts.

Neverthless, since that time (2003), we note the build up of the violent "insurgency" of fighters coming from many surrounding nations, especially those who favor Islamic State run governments in this region, has escalated since that time, which has given rise to more and more violence and unrest in Iraq, as well as in other places in the Middle East.

Therefore, we believe that "pushing" is going on right now, which means we can fully expect the violent reaction to this "pushing" in the foretold "storming" back of the King of the North very shortly. And of course, this will lead to the "Great War" spoken of at Daniel 10:1 (NIV) and Revelation 6:4, that will take "peace away from the earth" and lead to the death of many, many people on a worldwide scale...indeed a "fourth" of all earth's inhabitants. -- See Revelation 6:8.

Indeed, this "Great War" of Daniel 10:1 will surely mark the time, the bible calls the "time of the end." No doubt about it! -- See also Matthew 24:7

So are we in the time of the end now? The pushing seems to have been going on for some time now.

[Abaddon (Ex. 23:21)]

Hi Dionna,

So are we in the time of the end now? The pushing seems to have been going on for some time now.

Yes, you are absolutely right.

This became particularly true when troops were sent to Iraq in the early part of 2003. This set the stage for a major conflict between the Islamic Nations and the King of the South [USA]. From this conflict will emerge the notorious King of the North and Small Horn of bible prophecy, who will lead a terrific onslaught of violence and destruction upon many nations and create a real "bloodbath" in what we refer to as the "Great War." -- See Daniel 10:1 [NIV]; Daniel 8:23-25; Revelation 6:4-8

God's Word promises us, "during the days of these kings," namely these Islamic "kings" when they gather together to fight as one under the leadership of the "insolent" one or "Small Horn" who leads them, Jehovah Himself would "cut into" a special "mountain" and establish His Own Kingdom upon earth. The small "stone" would grow and grow, until it would become large enough to consume and fill the entire earth. This shows it will become a worldwide earthly government of God's making. -- Daniel 2:34, 35, 44, 45

This particular "kingdom" that God establishes in the "time of the end," thus will become what we refer to as the "Male Child" Kingdom Government, of which you "Dusty" are privileged to learn of at this time, and could one day become a part of this special priesthood/government...of future "kings" & "priests" and one day, anointed as such, to rule "ON EARTH," yes "on earth" as God's Word promises. -- See Joel 2:28, 29; Revelation 12:5; Revelation 5:9, 10 New World Kingdom Interlinear Translation.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Now, that's a lot to chew on, don't you think?

agape,
