Apparently, it is at the stage when all seems lost and civilization is poised to simply unravel and disintegrate, that the seemingly, fatally wounded beast makes a miraculous recovery, so as to appear as the savior of the world.”
This is exactly why I think they will manifest themselves in some way. They will want to take credit for the fact that Jehovah has stopped the GT, and to be able to appear as saviors, they will have to display their power/s, in such a convincing manner, so as to "compel" people to take the MOB! They will have "compelling" "evidence" for believing the last of Satan's lies, before Armageddon. I think they will not be able to do that "invisibly." I suppose they will portray themselves as "Aliens" here to save us from ourselves!

I know that you quoted my post but I just want to be clear that the quote is actually words of Robert King and not my words.

This chapter ends with these 2 paragraphs:

The crash of the present governmental system will likely be followed by the imposition of a form of global communism. In that way, everyone on earth would be brought into a situation that no one could buy or sell without acknowledging the image of the beast. The “one hour” allotted to the eighth king coincides with the hour of test Jesus referred to in the third chapter of Revelation, where he promised the faithful: “Because you kept the word about my endurance, I will also keep you from the hour of test, which is to come upon the entire inhabited earth, to put to the test those dwelling on the earth.”

The test that is coming upon the world will force all men to demonstrate their allegiance either to Satan’s “miraculously” resuscitated political beast or to Jehovah’s kingship. That is when the angel announces to the world: “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of judgment by him has arrived.”

So os the one hour the same length as the 3.5 years?

There is a part in the book about the image comparing I to the image in Daniel that they had to bow down to. And the angel that saved them was Michael foreshadowing how he will save us in the future. Awesome stuff. 👌

Good question
The test that is coming upon the world will force all men to demonstrate their allegiance either to Satan’s “miraculously” resuscitated political beast or to Jehovah’s kingship

That miraculously resuscitated government is the UN and according to the book, if I understood it correctly, will last the 3.5 years.

That’s the way I understand it as well.

Think about this...I was talking about this with my wife earlier tonight. Paul, that is to say Saul, stood and held the coats of those who stoned Steven.

Saul was a zealous and adamant opponent of everything "Christian." He wanted to eradicate Christians. Yet Jesus miraculously revealed himself, in his heavenly glory none the less, to Saul, WHY? Because Jesus read his heart! In any event, what is the pattern in the Bible from Jehovah about who he gives his spirit too? He PROVES IT! EVERY SINGLE TIME! So, it makes perfect sense to me, the "Two Witnesses" will PROVE by means of "powerful signs", that they are Christ's brothers! Ther3e will be NO QUESTION, at least none to honest hearted people!

@Watchman Please explain the part in Daniel about the "Ships of Kittim". I felt like it was talking about the present time regarding Russia kicking Ukraine(despite best NATO resources)'s sorry behind and China eventually coming into it.

Kit'tim seems rather specific to me as it isn't like Israel, Moab, Edom, nor Ammonites. As I pointed out before, significant portion of Chinese population comes from the descendant that was called Kit'tim. I also came into knowledge that there are "Caucasian" Russians and "Asian" Russians(even though they are so well integrated the countrymen just call all of them Russian), so considering the proximity of the two countries, it might include Russians as well.

So what would be the symbolic meaning of the ancient Chinese/Russian people humiliating King of the North? I was advised to ask questions, so I am asking questions.

Kittim is believed to have been the island of Cyprus. According to the Insight on the Scriptures, Kittim was also understood to mean islands as a group. In Ezekiel Kittim is associated with Tyre, which I have demonstrated represents the modern British Empire. In the chapter The King of the North, the ships of Kittim represent islands and nations that were part of the British Empire but which fought to put down Hitler, whom some elements within the British establishment had created and supported with the intent of destroying Europe. Much to their dismay, their Nazi project failed. Interestingly, though, the British revived the Nazi holdovers in Ukraine, the so-called Banderites, and sent them to war against Russia.

A watchman is what (he) has made you to the house of Israel. You have indeed demonstrated these things clearly and with power.

“‘Woe to him who is multiplying what is not his own—O how long!—and who is making debt heavy against himself! 7 Will not those claiming interest of you rise up suddenly, and those wake up who are violently shaking you, and you certainly become to them something to pillage? 8 Because you yourself despoiled many nations, all the remaining ones of the peoples will despoil you, because of the shedding of blood of mankind and the violence to the earth, the town and all those dwelling in it.
