Jesus will end nuclear war

[Watchman]

Jw.org posted a front-page attention-grabber titled “Jesus Will End War.”

It is only three paragraphs, and one paragraph is a passage from the 72nd Psalm that says: “He will rescue the poor who cry for help, also the lowly one and whoever has no helper. He will have pity on the lowly and the poor, and the lives of the poor he will save. From oppression and from violence he will rescue them.”

We might wonder, when will God put an end to war? If the nations are to beat their swords into plowshares, wouldn’t that have to be before Armageddon, since there will be no warring nations after the war of the great day of God Almighty?

Jesus foretold that nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. The Watchtower claims this is history. But according to Jesus, those living when the Son of man is revealed “will see all these things.” No one living today was alive to “see” the outbreak of the First World War. Jesus also foretold that there would be a great tribulation, unlike anything that has ever occurred before or will ever occur again. For years and years, without ever offering any scriptural support for their assertion, the Watchtower claims the tribulation will begin when the United Nations liquidates organized religion. Presumably, according to the WT’s eschatology, the tribulation segues into Armageddon. If that were true, though, why would God be compelled to intervene to save mankind from annihilation? No doubt a sizable portion of the world’s population has no religious affiliation. Why, then, will they face extinction without divine intervention?

Isn’t it more reasonable that God will cut short the tribulation that will be in the form of a nuclear war? That is when God will rescue the poor from violence and oppression when they cry to heaven for help.

It appears that the scriptures liken the future rescue of God’s people to being like when he brought the Israelites out of Egypt.

Deuteronomy 4:34-36: “Or has God ever attempted to take for himself a nation out of the midst of another nation along with judgments, with signs, with miracles, with war, with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with terrifying deeds, as Jehovah your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes? You yourselves have been shown these things so you will know that Jehovah is the true God; there is no other besides him. He made you hear his voice from the heavens to correct you, and on the earth he made you see his great fire, and his words you heard from out of the fire.”

Zechariah 10:10-12: “‘I will bring them back from the land of Egypt And gather them from As·syrʹi·a; I will bring them to the land of Gilʹe·ad and Lebʹa·non, And there will be no more room for them. He must pass through the sea with distress; And in the sea he will strike down the waves; All the depths of the Nile will dry up. The pride of As·syrʹi·a will be brought down, And the scepter of Egypt will depart. I will make them superior in Jehovah, And they will walk about in his name,’ declares Jehovah.”

Hey robert, unrelated point, I noticed a pen at the top of the forum here and I was wondering if that is your new book version or you're just promoting your book there. If there's going to be a physical copy I want to buy it.

Amazon lets you publish a book for free. That is great. The catch is that it is excruciatingly difficult to navigate the system. We are still working on it. Apparently, it is possible; millions of books are available. I wish I knew the secret.

Have you asked Claude? I'm sure it can walk you through it step by step. You can even take pictures of the dashboard and ask it questions about what's on the screen.

I had suggested that Robert opt for a sampler copy be sent to him before we push the final commit. He might be waiting for that to arrive so he can proceed.

But there will most certainly be a hardcopy available shortly. (Jah willing, of course!)

I got the sampler, noticed a couple of typos.

Now my portal says the book is scheduled to be released on May 9th. Kindle might be ready sooner. We shall see.

I'd be happy to proof read for typos using open claw.

You are in good company. The bible has loads of “typos”.
