Christians, Jesus in his prophesy of the Great Tribulation leading up to Armageddon?

We can see how close the GT is. This immoral world is taking over. One thing we must remember is that Jehovah is the one that will put into the hearts of the government to attack false religion. This is what starts the GT. His followers will be protected.

And yes, once false religion is attacked, the merchants will suffer greatly around xmas holidays. They will look at the harlot laying on the ground and shake their heads in shame. But they know better than to get close to her.

How long was Moses in Egypt , How long was the final Siege of Jerusalem in 70 c.e. ? How long did it rain in Noahs Day?

TODAY, mankind faces events of a magnitude never previously experienced. Foretelling this about our day, Jesus warned his followers: “There will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again. In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short.”—Matthew 24:21, 22.

Unseen to human eyes, heavenly forces are now holding back that great tribulation. The apostle John was privileged to see the reason for this restraint in a revelation given to him by Jesus. Here is how the aged apostle described it: “I saw four angels standing upon the four corners of the earth, holding tight the four winds of the earth . . . And I saw another angel ascending from the sunrising, having a seal of the living God; and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels . . . ‘Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until after we have sealed the slaves of our God in their foreheads.’”—Revelation 7:1-3.

The final sealing of the anointed “slaves of our God” is approaching completion. The four angels are ready to release those destructive winds. When they do, what will happen first? An angel answers that question: “With a swift pitch will Babylon the great city be hurled down, and she will never be found again.” (Revelation 18:21) What heavenly rejoicing there will be when this happens, when the world empire of false religion is destroyed!—Revelation 19:1, 2.

It is amusing to see the final end of the worlds financial system.

This is how it works when the Big Business and Tycoons vacuum suck all the worlds wealth and resources up to the top end of town.

There is a sickening realization now that the bottom end of town is tapped out and the little people cannot support the fast rising costs of banking, finance and business any longer.

It works on a global scale and a national level too.

Filthy rich nations cannot continue to grow without looking at the effect it is having on the poorest countries.

Time is up. the Canasta pack has ended and the cards need to be re-issued for the game to continue . . and the winners won't do it.

GAME OVER!

Indeed interesting times.

Poor old Obama has been embarrassed by the Nobel before he has truly earned it so he is now under pressure to 'make good'.

We know that nobody can possibly prepare materially for the cataclysm that is soon to arrive. I will be glad to see the end of the monetary system so people will no longer value one another based on money in the bank. We are almost there now.

in case you examine greater of the bible it tells you precisely how long the tribulation will final. it became initially 7 years then it became shrink to 3.5 years (the verse you pronounced) and then shrink back to a short season. it somewhat is the season of the locust. it somewhat is a 5 month era. there are another information that are pertinent. once you're introduced up in the previous the synagogue of devil, your guy or woman trial won't final greater suitable than 10 days. in addition to devil isn't allowed to harm a million eco-friendly element nor a million hair on the pinnacle of even 1of God's decide on.

I wish More questions like this would show up here on YA....

These are indeed Very interesting Times, In the Book of Revelations the apostle John first refers to the sealing of 144,000 slaves of God “out of every tribe of the sons of Israel.” (Re 7:2-8) After this, he saw in a vision “a great crowd” out of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues. These ascribe their salvation to God and to the Lamb as they stand before God’s throne. They have come out of “the great tribulation,” they serve God in his temple, and he spreads his tent over them. All their hunger and thirst are to be ended and every tear is to be wiped from their eyes as his Son (the Lamb; Joh 1:29) guides them to the waters of life.—Re 7:9-17.

I will spend no money this year on Christmas... As I am one of Jehovahs Witnesses

A lady showed me the bible list about signs to watch for. Earthquakes, wars, famines and a big preaching work happening all over the world. It all looks true to me.

Is it the reason behind the illegal and immoral invasion of Iraq, Afghanistan, suffocation of Palestinians and planning to nuke Iran on behalf of Israel?

It may surprise you to know that America is not the world, just one of the 195 countries in it. My country has just come out of the recession and is doing well. Keep your doomsday prophecies under check.
