March 11, 2020, was the final day of that old world. That day the WHO declared the Covid-19 "outbreak" a global pandemic. But it took until the following day for that decision to reverberate around the world. National governments everywhere quickly started rolling out authoritarian policies, with unprecedented lockdown mandates.
Today, as WHO/Europe’s Standing Committee of the Regional Committee met, Dr Hans Henri P. Kluge, WHO Regional Director for Europe, briefed the group on the rapid escalation of COVID-19 in the WHO European Region, now placing it at the centre of this pandemic.

In lockstep with "superior authorities", the WT organization danced to the pandemic tune since day one, and immediately suspended all public worship. The daily sacrifice of faithful JWs was stopped. According to what the angel said to Daniel, the appearance of the disgusting thing would happen precisely 1290 days after that event. Since we no longer use the calendar systems used back then, this is a convenient way to indicate an exact date within any date system.
The day 1290 days after March 12, 2020 is September 23, 2023.

When the lockdowns happened, it was very eerie for me to see that a date I had been watching, be somehow "confirmed" by Daniel's prophecy, as the day "the disgusting thing that causes desolation has been put in place". Some people might object that biblical prophecy has nothing to do with Satan's schemes, but keep in mind that the events taking place at both boundaries of the 1290 days are the result of his shenanigans. According to the context of Daniel 12, these periods of 1290 and 1335 days seem to be what Satan has been allowed to work with for his devastation phase, and they are shorter than what he wanted. As Jesus said, "on account of the chosen ones whom he has chosen, [Jehovah] has cut short the days". (Mark 13:20)
During that time Michael will stand up, the great prince who is standing in behalf of your people. And there will occur a time of distress such as has not occurred since there came to be a nation until that time. And during that time your people will escape, everyone who is found written down in the book. (Daniel 12:1)
We were provided with this information and these periods for a reason, and they have nothing to do with the Slave's feats in the 1920s. The 1290 days are a marker telling us where we are in the chronology of the end. After that first period has expired, a second one, of 1335 days, will take place. But for this one, Daniel wasn't given any clue of a time or event to pinpoint its start or end. It seems logical however that it won't be too far off, once the first period has ended.
Happy is the one who keeps in expectation and who arrives at the 1,335 days! (Daniel 12:12)
I believe that period to be the time that Daniel 12:1 foretold, "a time of distress such as has not occurred since there came to be a nation until that time". Understanding Daniel's prophecy and what these durations represent will help those who have to go through those darkest days in human history. Knowing that their ordeal will eventually end, even being able to tell approximately when, and keeping in expectation of the wonderful times that will come after, when Jesus returns and restores his congregation. Even if they still have to face a whole world under the spell of the deceiver by then, the joy Christ's faithful ones will feel will be immense, as Jesus gives them his approval, and fully opens their eyes to the Truth and to the imminent blessings his rule will bring.
As always there would be so much to say about all of this. Despite what we are seeing today, I believe the "disgusting thing" has not appeared yet, and the full-blown tribulation will only happen some time after it does. Contrary to the "clueless-happy" mindset promoted by the WT, these events won't just happen out of the blue. They have been carefully scripted and scheduled by Satan and his agents to create global acceptance for Satan's deception.
The beast has to first appear in a world still standing, and bring peace and hope for a while. Making sure that it leaves a lasting memory in the hearts of mankind, who will remember with fondness the time when it seemed that "we" had finally made it, when global peace and security had happened. But then the forces of evil struck back and destroyed that dream... After much devastation, when the beast "that was, but is not, and yet will be present" is finally resurrected, mankind will be in awe and overjoyed with that unexpected turn of events. Then reborn as the invincible and authoritarian eighth king, mankind will worship and follow it with admiration, anywhere.
Since this place has people of a rare kind, Jehovah's Witnesses capable of critical thinking, I wanted to share what I understand of these topics for anyone who might consider it valuable. Sadly, "proper" JWs have been brainwashed to automatically reject any prophetic perspective that doesn't come from the "channel", even their own. If they couldn't see through the grotesque injection narrative, how would they possibly discern Satan's hand in events that the world will acclaim? How could they be suspicious of an authority that will "stand in a holy place", being endorsed by the WT and all other religious organizations?
What is going on within the WT organization these days goes much beyond ignorance and arrogance. Dark forces have fully taken over, and they are now setting up the brothers to jump into all the traps and deceptions that Satan will lay in front of us. The vaccines were just the first of many "impractical and illogical life-saving instructions".
As for me, I'm still that 6-year old fascinated with the Revelation Climax book (yes it made sense to me back then lol) and Daniel's prophecy. All I wanted was to walk in the shoes of Daniel, and try my best to make sense of God's secrets, in order to be fully awakened and equipped for these critical times. I would never have imagined that this attitude would some day be labeled "apostate"...
But here we are. We'll know soon enough, 17 months left to go until 23/9/23
Thank you for reading.
