Does that mean simply that they would not go into the promised land, or were they given eternal death with no...

One of the signs of the end being close is the Great Tribulation. This ties in with the harvest work..which is a conclusion of the system used to complete the harvest. During the end,the harvest starts because the kingdom has to be born in order for the system to end. Revelation 12:2 And the Harvest is the final gathering of...

Philosophical skeptics hold that one cannot truly know anything about the external world and that only personal perception remains. The skeptic believes truth is derived through one's own interpretation. This is a form of faithlessness, for there is only a singular universal Truth. (Eph 4:4-6)

The phrase “the external world” (a.k.a. “the objective world”) refers to everything that exists outside of one’s own mind. There is only the so-called "personal truth" that...

So, no, 'nation against nation' is when Jesus comes, and all the tribes of the earth will lose it as they turn on each other, because all is lost.

Even before I gave my heart to Christ and began to follow the Way, I didn't understand how a person could say they was a follower of Christ, or that they was saved and yet continue to have sexually immoral relationships, drink, smoke, cuss, and do everything the same way that the world does them.

"If Jehovah didn’t use WT/ organization, then, when Jesus comes back to judge his house FIRST, who’s he going to judge???"

I have a simple answer for this, one that would not be tolerated at that site, which ironically is somewhat akin to what WT used to teach namely, that it applied to 'Christendom,' at the time Jesus approved WT as the 'faithful slave' in 1918.

Only I would say that this is still future and that the 'house...

I just finished reading Study article 20 in the latest WT.


I would like to point to some scriptures that I would have liked to be included in this article so that it would have given a more full and balanced picture about the subject, preaching out of love.

“With each passing day, our ministry becomes more urgent. Why? Because time is running out. Consider what Jesus foretold about the preaching work in the last...
