<p>Imagine a time when people no longer treat one another like animals. I know, it’s hard to fathom. After all, religion herself is the cause for many wars, causing strife and hatred that permeates mankind, but not for much longer. These manifestations will soon reveal themselves all over the world and is also known as the revealing of the Son of Man. This phase is the third and final phase known as <a href="https://www.jw.org/en/library/books/bible-glossary/presence/" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">the revelation phase</a> of the Presence of Christ.</p><p>One would think that all of mankind would welcome such a wonderful environment but the majority of earth’s inhabitants will actually reject and fight against this revelation tooth and nail, for mankind’s inhabitants as a whole have become wicked and godless. We read:</p><ul><li>But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, having an appearance of godliness but proving false to its power; and from these turn away. (<a href="https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/2-timothy/3/#v55003001-v55003005" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">2 Timothy 3:1-5</a>)</li></ul><p>After reading this scripture, you may have gained discernment that we could already have come into this period of critical times and you will have assumed correctly. This time period has been prophesied about in the Bible to give righteous ones a heads up. This time period is also called a time of distress, a time of anxiety, the last days, or the last days of wickedness. We entered this time period in <a href="https://www.jw.org/en/library/books/bible-glossary/conclusion-system-of-things/" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc"><strong>1914</strong></a><strong> </strong>and we were warned about it from faithful men. One of those Biblical accounts is (<a href="https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/daniel/12/#v27012001" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">Daniel 12:1</a>) which reads:</p><ul><li>During that time Michael will stand up, the Great Prince who is standing in behalf of your people. And there will occur <strong>a time of distress </strong>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.</li></ul><p>Notice this period is <strong>a time of distress</strong> which means this period does not go on and on with the no end to them. They in fact do come and will come to an end. But a work would need to be done first. A warning and a witness would need to be given out on a global basis. A heads up as you will. “And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” (<a href="https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/matthew/24/#v40024014" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">Matthew 24:14</a>)</p><p>The end that comes about is not the end of the earth, but rather then end of wickedness. This system of things is on its way out! Jesus Christ calmly stated, “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. For just as the days of Noah were, so t<em>he Presence of the Son of man will be</em>.” (<a href="https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/matthew/24/#v40024036-v40024037" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">Matthew 24:36-37</a>)</p><p>If you appreciated this witness about the Good News about God’s Kingdom, then I ask you to fill out this <a href="https://hub.jw.org/request-visit/en/request" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">form</a> for a Free Bible Study. The scriptures state, “And <strong>during that time </strong>your people will escape, everyone who is found written down in the book.” (<a href="https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/daniel/12/#:~:text=And%20during%20that%20time%20your%20people%20will%20escape%2Cc%20everyone%20who%20is%20found%20written%20down%20in%20the%20book." rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">Daniel 12:1</a>)</p><p>That time is Now, the book which is <em>also</em> known as the Book of Life is the Bible. We invite you and your family to come into our interior rooms until the denunciation passes as the days of wickedness come to their end. Get the Answers you seek to keep on living into Christ Millennial Reign.</p>]]>

<p><br /></p><p>Do you long for the day to see Jesus Christ coming with the clouds?  Many religious, spiritual, and not so religious people yearn for this day. What about you? Don't all of us yearn for better times ahead? You would think Kings and Governments look forward to this day, so why are they silent? Why do the Worldly governments want to stomp down on your faith?</p><p>Jesus Christ is not only <a href="https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/hebrews/3/#v58003001" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">High Priest</a> but he is also <a href="https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-no2-2020-may-jun/who-is-king-of-gods-kingdom/" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">King of God's Kingdom</a>.  Soon, very soon, religion and man-made governments will no longer be needed.  Today, you have the opportunity to have access to the one true God by means his only begotten son.  Jesus himself told his disciples, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (<a href="https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/john/14/#v43014006" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">John 14:6</a>)</p><p>Matter of fact, most religions have shunned the Name of Jesus Christ's Father and removed it some 7,000 times from the scriptures.  Governments don't even dare say the Father's Name in public. Why?  </p><p>The name of Jesus gives us a clue of his Father's Name.  Jesus when translated means, "Jehovah is Salvation."  Not only does Jesus give witness and testimony to the name Jehovah, so do many other Names in the Bible, even some Books of the Bible.</p><ul><li>Joel [Jehovah Is God]</li><li>Jeremiah [Jehovah Exalts]</li><li>John [Jehovah Has Been Gracious]</li><li>Jehoshaphat [Jehovah Is Judge]</li><li>and many more...</li></ul><p>“That <em>men</em> may know that thou, whose name alone <em>is</em> <strong>JEHOVAH</strong>, <em>art</em> the most high over all the earth.”  (<a href="https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Psalms-83-18/" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">Psalms 83:18 King James Bible</a>)</p><p>Jesus stated to Nicodemus, a member of the Sanhedrin whom was a Pharisee, "For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life." (<a href="https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/john/3/#v43003016" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">John 3:16</a>)</p><ul><li>Whether we cite a scripture or a name that give witness to the Name of Jehovah, there is no way around it.  Jehovah is given credit and praise. </li><li>Some have even stopped using the Name JESUS because of it's meaning. </li><li>What next? Tear out Chapters of the Bible written by Jeremiah, Joel, or John?</li><li>Think about it, John wrote several Books. John, 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, Revelation.</li><li>Are we not to believe John or Jesus because their names give praise to JEHOVAH?</li></ul><p>So.... let's look into this scripture a little bit deeper. "Look! He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will SEE him, and those who pierced him; and All the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief because of him. Yes, Amen." (<a href="https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/revelation/1/#v66001007" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">Rev 1:7</a>) </p><p>Many are looking forward to this prophecy being fulfilled. However, if you are waiting for this fulfillment. It has already come. Yes, that right. We are living it right now.  Did you notice the part where it states "All the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief because of him?"</p><ul><li>Aren't <strong>people of all nationalities experiencing grief</strong> in one form or another <strong>today?</strong></li><li>When did it begin? <a href="https://www.jw.org/en/library/books/bible-glossary/conclusion-system-of-things/" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">October 1st, 1914</a> </li><li>The grieving could not start afterwards when Jesus delivers salvation could it?</li><li>The coming with the clouds means that his appearance or advent is hidden</li><li>Yet the scripture states every eye will SEE him</li></ul><p>The Greek word used for SEE is ὁράω horaó.  It means I see, look upon, <strong>experience</strong>, <strong>perceive, discern, </strong>or beware.  According to HELPS Word-studies 3708 <em>horáō</em> – properly,<em> see</em>, often with <em>metaphorical</em> meaning: <strong>"to see with the mind" (i.e. spiritually see), i.e. perceive (with inward spiritual perception).</strong></p><p>The cross reference is "Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and All the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief, and they will SEE the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." (<a href="https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/matthew/24/#v40024030" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">Matthew 24:30</a>)  <em>horáō</em> – properly,<em> see</em>, often with <em>metaphorical</em> meaning: <strong>"to see with the mind" (i.e. spiritually see), i.e. perceive (with inward spiritual perception).</strong></p><p>With these two verses  (<a href="https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/revelation/1/#v66001007" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">Rev 1:7</a>) &amp; (<a href="https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/matthew/24/#v40024030" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">Matthew 24:30</a>) we learned that ALL the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief.  Something that would not occur at his coming which would be (<a href="https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1954447#:~:text=The%20third%20word,recognize%20his%20presence" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">the Revelation</a>) stage of his Presence. WHY?  Because the Great Crowd are spoken of in a favored state.</p><ul><li>After this I saw, and look! <strong>a great crowd</strong>, which no man was able to number, out of <strong>all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues</strong>, standing before the throne and before the Lamb (<a href="https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/revelation/7/#v66007009" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">Rev 7:9</a>)</li><li>So right away I said to him: “My lord, you are the one who knows.” And he said to me: “These are the ones who come out of<strong> the great tribulation</strong>, and they have washed </li><li>  their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." (<a href="https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/revelation/7/#v66007014" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">Rev 7:14</a>)</li></ul><p><br /></p><p>Another scripture that gives us more evidence about the time of trouble is "Immediately after <strong>the tribulation of those days</strong>, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken." (<a href="https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/matthew/24/#v40024029" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">Matthew 24:29</a>) In Aramaic sayings, it was said if a ruler lost his rulership, that <em>"His Heaven Has Fallen." </em></p><ul><li>And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them any longer in heaven.  (<a href="https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/revelation/12/#v66012007" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">Rev 12:7</a>)</li><li>Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time. (<a href="https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/revelation/12/#v66012012" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">Rev 12:12</a>)</li><li>The <strong>tribulation of those days</strong> brought an end to the Gentile times and ushered in Christ's Presence. This time period is called <a href="https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/2-timothy/3/#v55003001-v55003005" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">the Last Days</a>, hard to deal with.</li></ul><p><br /></p><p>Doesn't  (<a href="https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/revelation/12/#v66012007" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">Rev 12:7</a>) &amp; (<a href="https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/revelation/12/#v66012012" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">Rev 12:12</a>)  happen at the beginning of Christ's Presence to cause ALL the tribes of the earth to beat themselves in grief?</p><ul><li> Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.</li><li>There will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another food shortages and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and from heaven great signs.</li><li>Both scriptures are Progressive Prophecies that begin at his Presence and are brought to their end at the Revelation stage of Christ's Presence as we enter Christ Millennial Reign. </li></ul>]]>
