Jehovah's Witnesses and the Holocaust - What Does the Bible Say?

In their weekly headliner on JW.org the question is posed: Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Holocaust—What Does the Bible Say?

As has become typical, the little snippet doesn’t answer the question posed. But thinking people might actually want to know what the Bible says about holocaust.

According to Brittanica online, the word holocaust is derived from the Greek holokauston, a translation of the Hebrew word ʿolah, meaning a burnt sacrifice offered whole to God. So, the very term used to describe the catastrophe that befell the Jews and Jehovah's Witnesses during the Nazi reign of terror has a biblical connotation. The burnt sacrifice is apt considering that millions were cremated in ovens that burned constantly.

While the world is memorializing the Nazi Holocaust another mass murder program has been instituted by stealth—a second holocaust if you prefer; that, of course, being the intentional pandemic and the vaccine final solution, which have already killed a comparable number, and perhaps more, as were murdered by the Nazis.

Perhaps, describing the ongoing mass murder project as the final solution is not accurate. That is because the overlords of Satan’s dark world intend to eliminate a large percentage of the present eight billion souls on earth. They are hoping for a cull of about 80 percent, or six billion.

But back to the question the Watchtower refuses to answer: What does the Bible say?

According to the Hebrew prophecy of Habakkuk God is going to allow a ruthless kingdom to tyrannize the world. Although set in ancient times when the Chaldeans dominated civilization and destroyed many peoples and nations, the prophecy is really marked for fulfillment in the future. That is evident from the fact that the genocidal scheme of the “Chaldean” will come to an inglorious end when Jehovah intervenes in an awe-inspiring display of His power. See Habakkuk

But describing the impending holocaust, Habakkuk wrote: “Why do you make man like the fish of the sea, like creeping things that have no ruler? All of these he hauls up with a fishhook. He catches them in his dragnet, and he gathers them in his fishing net. That is why he rejoices greatly. That is why he offers sacrifices to his dragnet and makes sacrifices to his fishing net; for by them his portion is rich, and his food is choice. Will he then keep emptying out his dragnet? Will he go on slaughtering nations without compassion?” — Has 1:14-17

Yes, all mankind is destined to be caught in a net like hapless fishes. Only Jehovah will be able to save us from this evil fate that the Devil is in the process of bringing about.

I know people will complain about the man with the toothbrush moustache (I sometimes wonder if that was a persona of an agent working for the Empire), the leaders today are going to be way worse & there will be no denying it.
There will certainly be no leaders in London. The ones we have cannot punch their way out of a wet paper bag. All they have are sound-bites like trump and his make America great again. There are though in England and I suspect in every land, those who are ready to step in, and they are without conscience and automatons of evil. They will spring up from the depths of depravity as they did in Germany. They are already there in America, armed and ready to go - likewise in Russia and certainly in China and probably worst of all in Africa and the Middle East.

How fitting that Jehovah will allow humans to bring themselves to the point that the only hope of salvation will be from Jehovah, our Creator. It really highlights that they will HAVE TO KNOW that Jehovah is the only true God, because all false gods will be exposed as worthless. No doubt only those with strong faith in our God will keep their sanity intact.

That counts me out. I lost my sanity years ago, if i ever had it to begin with - which I doubt. I am hoping that Jehovah has bin for odds and ends that he can fiddle with when he has a spare moment to see if he can make anything useful out of them.

I have heard the phrase the ”mask of sanity”, so perhaps you can keep one on hand just in case you need it.
