14 Scriptural Proofs that Armageddon occurs in 2008

One proof of 1914, the Gentile Times, was enough for Russell. Are 14 proofs of 2008 enough for you?

[1] 1975 A Good Effort!

The Watchtower Society hinted strongly that since 1975 was 6,000 years after Adam was born according to their chronology, it could mark the start of the 1,000 year Sabbath over which Jesus is Lord. They did not categorically state this to be their doctrine but neither did they categorically deny that it was their doctrine (until 1976). So the Shepherd failed to give any concrete leadership in this matter to the flock and as a result the sheep were scattered all over the place. Many Witnesses thought that 1975 was it, and many others were not sure. When the sheep are scattered all over the mountain one must blame the shepherd not the sheep. It is the job of the shepherd to look after the sheep.

However, it is easy to see that God's last creative act was not the creation of Adam, because he created Eve. Then after the pair of them had sinned, he created ageing bodies for the pair of them. This was his very last creative act. 

21 And Jehovah God proceeded to make long garments of skin for Adam and for his wife and to clothe them (Genesis 3).

Yes he made them some clothes, but the greater meaning is that he made them some 900 plus year long ageing garments of skin to replace the indefinitely long non ageing garments of skin that they had before they sinned. So the 6th creative day ended at the eviction of Adam and Eve from the Garden. 

1 Thus the heavens and the earth and all their army came to their completion.
2 And by the seventh day God came to the completion of his work that he had made, and he proceeded to rest on the seventh day from all his work that he had made.
3 And God proceeded to bless the seventh day and make it sacred, because on it he has been resting from all his work that God has created for the purpose of making (Genesis 2).

Hebrews tells us that God's works were finished when the world, this system, was founded

3 his works were finished from the founding of the world (Hebrews 4)

So the world was founded when the 6th creative day ended, which was when Adam sinned and was evicted from Eden...

50 So that the blood of all the prophets spilled from the founding of the world may be required from this generation
51 from the blood of Abel down to the blood of Zechariah, who was slain between the altar and the house. Yes, I tell you, it will be required from this generation (Luke 11).

Eating from the tree of knowledge of Good and Bad opened the door to Satan, the ruler of this world, to take over matters for a period of time. This period we know is 6,000 years, since mankind enters into a rest from working under Satan's rulership, for the 1,000 year Sabbath of the Kingdom of God, under Jesus' rulership, immediately after the world, this system, ends. Therefore the preceding working week to that 1,000 year Sabbath is 6,000 years, since a Sabbath is the 7th of 7 equal time periods. Basically each day of this 'week' is 1,000 years long. This is what Peter prophetically declared when he said in the context of the destruction at Armageddon:

5 For, according to their wish, this fact escapes their notice, that there were heavens from of old and an earth standing compactly out of water and in the midst of water by the word of God; 
6 and by those [means] the world of that time suffered destruction when it was deluged with water.
7 But by the same word the heavens and the earth that are now are stored up for fire and are being reserved to the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly men.
8 However, let this one fact not be escaping your notice, beloved ones, that one day is with the Lord as 1,000 years and 1,000 years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.
10 Yet the Lord’s day will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a hissing noise, but the elements being intensely hot will be dissolved, and earth and the works in it will be discovered.
11 Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in holy acts of conduct and deeds of godly devotion, 
12 awaiting and keeping close in mind the presence of the day of the God, through which [the] heavens being on fire will be dissolved and [the] elements being intensely hot will melt!
13 But there are new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting according to his promise, and in these righteousness is to dwell (2 Peter 3).

Quite obviously this taking 1,000 years for a day must not escape our notice in respect of a promise of destruction and of a new heavens and a new earth, i.e. a promise of the kingdom of God. A 'day' which we know is 1,000 years long. In fact the 'day of judgement and destruction of the ungodly men' of verse 7 is one of the 1,000 year days of verse 8. So Peter is saying that one should take 1,000 years for one day in our calculations as regards this promise. So the kingdom of God is a 1,000 year Sabbath day, or judgement day, and being a sabbath it is preceeded by 6 other 1,000 years days making a 6,000 year working week.

So the big question therefore is: When did Adam sin? When was he evicted from Eden?

For if we add 6,000 years to that date, then we will have the start of the Kingdom of God. These are the questions that the Watchtower Society should have kept on asking, these are the doors that they should have kept on knocking upon, these are the treasures that they should have kept on seeking, but they stopped as Isaiah foretold when he said..

19 Who is blind, if not my servant, and who is deaf as my messenger whom I send? Who is blind as the one rewarded, or blind as the servant of Jehovah?
20 It was a case of seeing many things, but you did not keep watching. It was a case of opening the ears, but you did not keep listening (Isaiah 42).

The Watchtower stopped watching. 

[2] Matthew 24:36 A Mistranslation!

36 Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father (Matthew 24).

32 Concerning that day or the hour nobody knows, neither the angels in heaven nor the Son, but the Father. 
33 Keep looking, keep awake, for you do not know when the appointed time is (Mark 13).

Most bibles translate these two verses more or less as above. But the Greek does not say this at all. The Greek word translated 'knows' is oiden . This is the 3rd person singular perfect tense of eido, which means 'I see' like the Latin 'Video'. The perfect tense is used for completed actions in the past. So oiden literally means 'he has seen' . Now either this Greek word 'oiden' is in the present tense or it is in the past tense.

To quote Liddell & Scott Greek Lexicon under 'Eido':

'To know:- the perfect tense "Oida", I have seen, as a present tense verb, in the sense I know, for what one has seen one knows.'

What this means is that: 'Concerning that day or the hour nobody knows' is a linguistically possible sense of the Greek, and this is where the confusion has arisen. But it is not what the Greek actually says, no, the exact literal translation is: 'Concerning that day or the hour nobody has seen (with his mind)' this being meant in the sense of 'Concerning that day or the hour nobody has known.' Young's Literal Translation of the bible has: 'Nobody has known', and ironically the Greek Interlinear Translation of the Watchtower, the Kingdom Interlinear Translation has 'Nobody has known'!

36 About but the day that and hour no one has known, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, if not the Father only (Matthew 24 - Watchtower Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures)

32 And concerning that day and the hour, no one hath known, no even the messengers who are in the heaven, not even the son, except the father (Mark 13 - Young's Literal Translation).

'No one has known', or 'Nobody has seen' has a whole different connotation from 'no one knows' or 'nobody knows', because it is actually saying 'nobody has known in the past'. So with the exact translation, it is evident that Jesus was simply saying that no creation had yet been granted a knowledge of the day or the hour from time indefinite up to that time, which was Nisan 11, 33 CE. In any event these two scriptures, seeing as they are written in the past tense cannot be a prohibition on future knowledge of that 'day' and that 'hour'.

• No statement about past knowledge can be a prohibition on future knowledge

• No man knows for certain the date of his marriage until he has become engaged

• Jesus likewise did not know the date of Armageddon, which is the date of his marriage to his new covenant bride until he had proposed to them on 33Nisan14. This is why he said what he did on 33Nisan11.

Furthermore we cannot ignore the words of the prophet Amos who says...

7 The sovereign Lord Jehovah will not do a single thing without revealing his confidential matter to his servants the prophets (Amos 3).

Obviously at Armageddon God does quite a few very important things and the timing of these things is a confidential matter of his. And God is one who reveals such confidential matters to his servants the prophets.

[3] The Exedenic Times

Every Witness knows that Daniel Chapter 4 has a greater meaning wherein the phrase '7 Times' is taken a day for a year and so means 2520 years. But very few witness have asked this question: If Daniel 4 has a greater meaning wherein the phrase '7 Times' means 2520 years, then what about other chapters in the bible which contain the phrase '7 Times'? Might they not have greater meanings as well?

This was the question that the president of the Lords' Witnesses asked in 1992. He found the following phrase in Genesis Chapter 4.

15 At this Jehovah said to him: For that reason anyone killing Cain must suffer vengeance 7 Times. And so Jehovah set up a sign for Cain in order that no one finding him should strike him (Genesis 4).

Well, would you look at that? One thing we know about God is that his justice is soul for soul. It is not soul for 7 souls. So anyone killing Cain has to suffer vengeance for 7 Times, which is 7 years in the literal meaning. Now the vengeance for killing a soul is to be killed yourself, since God's justice is soul for soul. So for a period for 7 years anyone killing Cain was to be killed himself. Cain was actually banished from the ground for 7 years, he was excommunicated from Adam's family for that period for killing his brother Abel and for being unrepentant at having deliberately offered the wrong sacrifice.

11 And now you are cursed in banishment from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood at your hand. 
12 When you cultivate the ground, it will not give you back its power. A wanderer and a fugitive you will become in the earth (Genesis 4).

So for the entire period of his excommunication he was protected by the decree that if anyone should kill him that person would himself be killed. 

That was the literal meaning of the sign for Cain. But what about the greater meaning? Well Cain was the archetypical murderer of his brother and the archetypical false worshipping human, having deliberately offered the wrong sacrifice to God - see U47. So he would stand for false worshipping jealous murderers. The penalty on these people in the days of Cain and in fact in the days of Abraham, was that they should be banished from the ground, the true administration of God's people for 7 years. This did not change until the Law of Moses, which stipulated that they should be stoned, something that could not be done to Cain. 

But just as God's people are not really interested in who is the King of Babylon and in how long he has to spend as a wild animal in the forest, but rather they are interested in who is the King over God's people and how long do they have to wait until he starts reigning, so God's people are not interested in what kind of penalty Cain got for his murder, but rather in how long they will have to wait until they get a New Promised land and a set of laws that stop people murdering each other.

For in fact God's people have always had three blessings, a kingship, a priesthood and a promised land. In Eden these were the Garden itself and the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of Good and Bad, which represented God's authority, his one law in Eden (don't eat from this tree). In Israel, they had the Davidic Kings, the Aaronic priests and the promised land. So we should look at the Gentile Times, which was a 7 Prophetic Times Kingship malediction, as just one member of a group of 3 blessings which can be removed. In other words the existence of a 7 Prophetic Times Kingship malediction means that we should also be looking out for a 7 Prophetic Times Priesthood malediction and a 7 Prophetic Times Promised Land malediction. By 7 Prophetic Times, we mean 2520 years.

Now the Law of Moses came into force on 1513Sivan3 at mount Sinai in Arabia. But all the sons of Israel were condemned to death in the wilderness except Joshua and Caleb, the two faithful spies, and the sons of those condemned to death were not circumcised in the wilderness. In fact the sons of the wilderness were circumcised in Gilgal in the promised land on 1473Nisan15. So this is when the law of Moses came into force as regards the death penalty. So this was the end of the law of 7 year Banishment and of Vengeance on those who would kill killers. The Law of Moses required killers to be killed rather than being banished and protected. For more details on this please see U133.

Now if we count back 2520 years or 7 Prophetic Times from the first day that they ate fruit of the promised land, from 1473Nisan15, the day that the sons of Israel went under law in the promised land through the circumcision, we get 3993Nisan BC. So that would be when the law of 7 year Banishment would have begun, since God is not lawless, and every system has laws on how to deal with murderers. God did not make up a banishment penalty just for Cain when he murdered his brother. Although it appears he made up a protection for him to stop anyone adding their own death penalty to Cain's 7 year Banishment penalty!

So 3993Nisan would be when Adam and Eve first went under the new legal system outside Eden. So they were evicted from Eden in 3993Nisan. And their children spent 7 Prophetic Times outside of a promised land, and then after 2520 years they entered the promised land. We are saying that there are 7 Prophetic Times between Eden and the Promised land, this being a 2520 years Land Malediction, which we call the Exedenic Times. But we know that the Kingdom of God starts 6,000 years after the eviction from Eden, which is 6,000 years after 3993Nisan BC, which is 2008Nisan AD. QED.

Diagrammatically we have...

Evicted from Eden               Israelites Enter Promised Land
3993Nisan                           1473Nisan

For an accurate explanation of the 7 Prophetic Times of the Gentile Times using the correct chronology for the fall of Jerusalem which did not occur in 607 as the Watchtower contends, but rather occurred in 586 BC, see U120 and U123. For an explanation of the 2520 year priesthood malediction which we call the Alienation Times, see U128 and U129.

[4] The Midst Prophecy 

Jesus died in the exact centre of the First Abrahamic Covenant, the mid point between its inauguration and Armageddon.

This can be generalised to: Jesus is temporally central in his 'salvation activities'

Some religions believe that the First Abrahamic Covenant of Genesis 12 lasts into the Kingdom of God. Well it is true that its blessing, which is to be a citizen of the Kingdom of God, continues through the kingdom of God, but it is not possible to enter into the covenant once the Kingdom of God has started. For it is a covenant of faith. The sons of the 1AC (First Abrahamic Covenant) are the sons of the faith of Abraham. They must put faith in a kingdom that has not yet arrived. 

12 and a father of circumcised offspring, not only to those who adhere to circumcision, but also to those who walk orderly in the footsteps of that faith while in the uncircumcised state which our father Abraham had (Romans 4).

And faith is the evident demonstration of realities which are not beheld (Hebrews 11:1). So once they are beheld, faith is no longer necessary to see them!

In any event Abraham crossed the Euphrates leaving the land of the Chaldeans, the land of Babylonia and entering the promised land. He stopped getting wet when he set foot on the promised land of Greater Canaan, on the other side of the Euphrates. So once we enter the Kingdom of God, we can no longer enter into the 1AC (First Abrahamic Covenant).

The Hebrew and Greek words: $wt and brq and mesw: all mean: midst, middle, centre, mid-point among or within depending on the context. When preceded by 'in', they mean 'in the midst of'. 

[14] The second presence began on 1890Sivan14 and lasts 120 years to 2020Heshvan14 with 3 gaps of 4½ years and 5½ years and 5 months

Jesus is present through the flesh of his wife, the 1NC saints. These ones, being engaged to him through the new covenant, are one flesh with Jesus. So their bodies are his body. their flesh is his flesh. 

As regards the length of each presence we have:

37 For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be.
38 For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; 
39 and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be (Matthew 24).

The days of Noah where people took no note and then got washed away were 120 years:

3 After that Jehovah said: My spirit shall not act toward man indefinitely in that he is also flesh/they have erred. Accordingly his days shall amount to 120 years. (Genesis 6).

Also after Moses the maximum lifespan for men was 120 years. Moses lived for exactly 120 years see section I15. So since Jesus is present through his fiancé, then this ‘woman’ should not live for more than 120 years as a human in each presence. This maximum  lifespan is not just a deduction of ours from the scriptures, it is also an observation of the Jewish Historian Josephus, the contemporary of Jesus.

For the life of man was already by degrees diminished, and became shorter than before, till the birth of Moses, after whom the term of human life was 120 years...(Antiquities of the Jews Chapter 6 paragraph 5). For more on the two presences of Jesus see I45. 

Furthemore Daniel 12 informs us that there is a 4½ year gap and a 5½ year gap in the second presence - see U152. 

[15] The Watchtower joined the UN on January 28th 1992, 4600 solar days of Daniel 8 before they became a false church on 2004Elul14, when their constant feature ended, 1290 lunar days of Daniel 12 before the last day of this system, 2008Nisan14

This proof is quite advanced and technical. Let's start with Daniel 8. the key verses are 11-14. 

Here is the literal interpretation...

11 And all the way to the Prince of the army [Jesus] it put on great airs, and from him the constant [feature] was taken away, and the established place of his sanctuary was thrown down [Antiochus attacked Jerusalem again and defiled the temple and set up the abomination causing desolation on 168Chislev15, putting an idol altar on the altar of the temple].
12 And [the] army [sons of Israel and the 2AC] was given over, together with the constant [feature], due to transgression [The transgression causing desolation was wicked Jews who made covenants with the Greeks. This lead to a new unified world order of idolatry at the command of Antiochus]. And it kept throwing truth to the ground [hiding truth in its administration], and it acted and had success.
13 And I got to hear a certain holy one speaking, and another holy one proceeded to say to the particular one who was speaking: How long will the vision be [of] the constant [feature] [used as an adjective] and the transgression causing desolation, to make both [the] holy place and [the] army things to trample on? [How long will it be from the transgression causing desolation to the restoration?]
14 So he said to me: Until evening [and] morning 2300, and [the] holy place will certainly be brought into its right condition/restored [National idolatry at the written decree of Antiochus began in the 142nd year of the kingdom of Greece, the transgression starting on 171Elul29 (6th September 171) and the temple was restored and the altar rededicated by Judas Maccabeus on 165Chislev25 in the 148th year of the Kingdom of Greece over Israel, 2300 Solar days later] (Daniel 8).

The 2300 evenings and mornings start with the transgression that causes desolation, and at some point during this period due to that transgression, the constant feature is removed. Throughout the period the holy place and the army and trampled on. The holy place is restored at the end of the period along with the constant feature.

X___________________________________ X
                    2300 Solar Days

For more on the literal meaning see U157. But just as in the case of Daniel chapter 4, there is a greater meaning, in fact there are two greater meanings, one which applies in the first century and one which applies in the last days, i.e. 'today'. 

Here is the first century interpretation...

11 And all the way to the Prince of the army [Jesus] it put on great airs, and from him the constant [feature] [sufficient true Christians so that some are always in true worship] was taken away [all of TCC1, the first true Christian Congregation, is disfellowshipped], and the established place of his sanctuary was thrown down [not a living stone left upon a living stone].
12 And an army itself was given over, together with the constant [feature], due to transgression [Idolatary of Romans or  Roman Gods, making an agrement with Rome and becoming the Roman Catholic Church], and it kept throwing truth to the ground [hiding truth in its administration], and it acted and had success.
13 And I got to hear a certain holy one speaking, and another holy one proceeded to say to the particular one who was speaking [There are going to be two fulfilments of this, one for each holy one]: How long will the vision be [of] the constant [feature] and [of] the transgression [both used as adjectives] causing desolation, to make both [the] holy place and [the] army things to trample on? [How long will it be from the transgression causing desolation to the restoration?]
14 So he said to me: Until evening [and] morning 2300, and [the] holy place will certainly be brought into its right condition/restored...

FDS1 is the first faithful and discreet slave of Matthew 24. FDS2 is the second faithful and discreet slave etc - see I46. When a FDS falls in authority over the saints it first becomes a WSS, a wicked and sluggish slave of Matthew 25. Then when it loses its water baptism it becomes a GNS, a good for nothing slave of Matthew 25. When a good for nothing slave is rejected by Jesus, the whole church becomes a false religion. That is the path from true religion to false religion. There are 4 True Christian Churches, 2 in each presence of the Christ, see I46.

26 It was first in Antioch that the disciples were by divine providence called Christians (Acts 11).

So to sum up diagrammatically we have:

Pharisees commit idolatry with Romans
Jerusalem condemns Jesus, Romans don't           FDS1 take the name 'Christians' in Antioch
Transgression causing desolation to Jews              Holy place brought into right condition  
1 April 33 AD  (33Nisan14)                                       19th July 39 AD (39Ab9/10)
X________________________________________X
                    2300 Solar Days

What did the Romans ever do for us? They exonerated Jesus Christ! There is no abomination causing desolation in the evening fulfilment (the first one in the presence), and the Abomination causing desolation of Daniel 12 was to the temple of the law so does not apply to the morning fulfilment of Daniel 8 in the first presence which is the story of FDS1. FDS1 had the constant feature all through the vision period.

Not sure about 2300/4600 evening and morning from the transgression causing desolation to the end of the constant feature and then 1290 days to the end of FDS1 as a true religion. If we say TCC1 fell as a true church on 92Tishri10 at the end of 12 full baskets of fragments, then we count 1290 days back to 88Adar10 for the loss of constant feature. Then the transgression causing desolation which was idolatry with Rome would be 2300 solar before then or 82Heshvan16.

Here is the second presence interpretation...

11 And all the way to the Prince of the army [Jesus] it put on great airs, and from him the constant [feature] [sufficient true Christians so that some are always teaching, evangelising or researching] was taken away, and the established place of his sanctuary was thrown down [not a living stone was left upon a stone].
12 And an army itself [The sons and ex sons of the 3EC] was given over, together with the constant [feature], due to transgression; and it kept throwing truth to the ground [Hiding the truth within its administration], and it acted and had success.
13 And I got to hear a certain holy one speaking, and another holy one proceeded to say to the particular one who was speaking [There are going to be two fulfilments of this, one for each holy one]: How long will the vision be [of] the constant [feature] and [of] the transgression, causing desolation, to make both [the] holy place and [the] army things to trample on? [How long will it be from the transgression causing desolation to the restoration?]
14 So he said to me: Until evening [and] morning 2300, and [the] holy place will certainly be brought into its right condition/restored...

There were two sacrifices each solar day that made up the constant feature. If you like the Jews had to give God his breakfast and his dinner. For he was a member of their family. He was the head of their family. In this interpretation we take a solar day for a constant feature sacrifice, or if you like we take an evening for a day and a morning for a day. So the entire period of 2300 literal days, which was 4600 evenings and mornings (combined), or 4600 sacrifices represents 4600 solar days in this symbolism.

                    4600 Solar Days

There is a 4600 solar day period for FDS4 from the ' time of the end' to the right condition of the temple.
There is a 4600 solar day period for FDS3, from their transgression that causes desolation, to the placing of the abomination that causes desolation on 2004Elul14 (a decision in the Watchtower which ended the priesthood of the 1NC saints, replacing them with a group of unsanctified false priest who cannot run a 1NC church). This was the end of the constant feature and the end of the Watchtower as a true religion. The temple of FDS4 is completed on the third day after the temple of FDS3 (which is by then the temple of GNS2) becomes a false religion.

19 In answer Jesus said to them: Break down this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Therefore the Jews said: This temple was built in forty-six years, and will you raise it up in three days?
21 But he was talking about the temple of his body (John 2).

Charles Russell was water baptised in 1881Tishri and he was the first stone in the temple of the Watchtower, the cornerstone laid upon the foundation of Jesus Christ himself. The temple of FDS3 came into the right condition in 1931Ab7. 

The big picture

All transgressions that cause desolation are the same. They are the idolatry of a 'new' 'unifying' world order by an old true religion. The Jews fell for the new unifying world order of Antiochus Epiphanes, they then killed Jesus in a further transgression. The first century Christians fell for the new religious unifying world order of the Roman Catholic church (even Peter himself fell at first). Christendom fell for the new unifying world order of the League of Nations. The Watchtower fell for the new unifying world order of the United Nations. And now in 2007 all the world will be required to accept the mark of the UN, which is the approval of the UN. All corporate entities will be required to become UN NGOs and be 'married' to the UN and therefore take its name. All individual humans will be required to register with the UN, they will then get a UN ID number, the number of its name. And nearly all of these people and corporations will think and believe the lie that this is a brand new and brilliant idea to combat terrorism. This is because these people have given up thinking for themselves, they have given up researching man's history for themselves. They have become like the lemming that follows others over the cliff and like the bull that follows the lead bull into the Abattoir. This is not a knew idea, it is an old trick of Satan. It is a trick that he has used no less that 4 times already! It is always a mechanism for him to destroy the true religion. For more on Daniel 8 see U157.

Daniel 12 and the 1290 days

8 Now as for me, I heard, but I could not understand; so that I said: O my lord, what will be the final part of these things?
9 And he went on to say: Go, Daniel, because the words are made secret and sealed up until the time of [the] end.
10 Many will cleanse themselves and whiten themselves and will be refined. And the wicked ones will certainly act wickedly, and no wicked ones at all will understand; but the ones having insight will understand.
11 And from the time that the constant [feature] has been removed and there has been a placing of the disgusting thing that is causing desolation, there will be 1,290 days.
12 Happy is the one who is keeping in expectation and who arrives at the 1,335 days! (Daniel 12).

So from the removal of the constant feature, when the JWs became a false religion and from the time that the disgusting thing causing desolation is placed, there will be 1290 days. When do these 1290 days end? Well Gabriel tells Daniel in the next verse to 'go toward the end'.

13 And as for you yourself, go toward the end; and you will rest, but you will stand up for your lot at the end of the days (Daniel 12).

And Gabriel was answering the question: 8 What will be the final part of these things? (Daniel 12), when he said there would be 1290 days from the removal of the constant feature and the placing of the disgusting thing. So the 1290 days end with the end of the world. Now 1290 days after 2004Elul14 is 2008Nisan14. QED.

Abomination causing desolation placed in temple of GNS2 (FDS3)    End of World 
2004Elul14                                                                                             2008Nisan14 
X______________________________________________________X
                                            1290 days

For more on this see U152. 

The disgusting thing causing desolation must have been a defilement of the temple by people who are not 1NC saints. We do not know precisely what happened on 2004Elul14 in the Watchtower, but presumably non remnant people took over the priesthood in some way. This would not be hard for them to do, since all but one of the members of the Governing Body are too young to be 1NC saints...

9 Look! I will give those from the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews, and yet they are not but are lying look! I will make them come and do obeisance before your feet and make them know I have loved you (Revelation 3).

We thought that something really dramatic would happen on 2004Elul14 (2004 September 1/2) to mark what we then thought would be the start of the Great Tribulation. In fact the terrorist atrocity of Beslan occurred at that time. Not as media worthy as 911 but certainly more morally depraved. The terrorist took over a school and murdered hundreds of schoolchildren. Remember that the Great Tribulation is targeted against children and mothers for Jesus said...

19 Woe to the pregnant women and those suckling a baby in those days! (Matthew 24).
17 Woe to the pregnant women and those suckling a baby in those days! (Mark 13).

But this was not the start of the Great Tribulation on the world. Men did not become faint out of fear as a result of Beslan. And we now know, that the Great Tribulation is a time of distress, wherein righteous ones escape by rapture. So it is one year, from 2007Adar7, the first birth pang to 2008Adar7??. 

Happy is the man keeping in expectation who arrives [temporally] at the 1335 days! (Daniel 12:12)

Diagrammatically we have...

Technical Notes: We can further prove it from the 77 years from 1931July 23rd (1931Ab6) when the Jehovah's witnesses adopted the name 'Jehovah's witnesses' until 2008Ab, when possibly Babylon is completely burned with fire, since there are 77 generations from God to Jesus through the maternal line. 77 appears to be a God to Jesus period in bible symbolism.

[16] The 7 Towers of the World Trade Centre in New York were demolished on 2001Elul19, 11 days before the last 7 agricultural years of this system, which end on 2008Tishri

Isaiah defined terrorism in the last days, and in particular in the 'day of Jehovah', as being...

12 For it is the day belonging to Jehovah of armies. It is upon everyone self-exalted and lofty and upon everyone lifted up or low;
13 and upon all the cedars of Lebanon that are lofty and lifted up and upon all the massive trees of Bashan;
14 and upon all the lofty mountains and upon all the hills that are lifted up;

15 and upon every high tower and upon every fortified wall;
16 and upon all the ships of Tarshish and upon all desirable/valuable boats/vessels. (Isaiah 2)

Everyone knows that Isaiah 2, applies to the last days, the final part of the days (Isaiah 2:2). It particularly applies to the mountain of the house of Jehovah (the true religious administration) rising up above all the other mountains (the false religious administrations). So this is the judgement on the Harlot, which is an overt acceptance of the LWs by God. 

So the day belonging to Jehovah of Armies of Isaiah 2 is the day of the big slaughter of Isaiah 30. And it is 'upon' or against the following...

HIGH TOWERS
FORTIFIED WALLS
SHIPS OF COMMERCE (Tarshish was big in commerce)
VALUABLE VESSELS

But this precisely describes 911, where valuable commercial airships, air vessels, air ships, hit the high towers of the WTC and the fortified wall of the Pentagon.

However this is not a one shot campaign. Isaiah is describing terrorism throughout the day of the big slaughter of Isaiah 30:25. He is giving us the pattern of terrorism, the targets of all the terror campaigns. The terrorists will go for High Towers (such as the UN tower), Military bases (fortified walls) and High Tech (expensive) Mass Transport Systems. These things will be hit again and again until the end. Now the incredible thing about the Twin Towers attack was that the WTC actually had 7 towers in it all of which were destroyed. Even building 7 was destroyed that was further away from the twin towers than say the Millennium Hilton Hotel which is still taking guests today at some $400 per night!

So we are sorely tempted to take a day for a tower in this 'sign'. Then we have two towers being much taller than the other towers so they presumably would represent more of a disaster than the other 5 towers. So we could argue that the first birth pang occurs in the year starting 2006Tishri, 2 years before the end in the agricultural calendar, running from Tishri to Tishri, as it did befroe the passover of Moses and as it will do after rapture, the passover of Armageddon.

We are not sure if this is really a sign or an incredible coincidence or what it is. But we had to remark upon it!

[17] The Watchtower joined the UN for 10 years in secret, the Harlot rode the Beast

Here is the evidence that the Watchtower applied to join the UN as an associated NGO (that is the only way that an organisation can join the UN) in 1991. They were officially accepted by the UN on January 28th 1992. They were exposed in the UK Guardian newspaper as Hypocrites on October 8th 2001 and they were disassociated by the UN (at the Watchtower's request) on October 9th 2001.

This short exposition seeks to establish that:

[A]    This truly happened

[B]    Harlotry with the UN is a sin for which there is no atonement for the Watchtower.

[C]    The way that any Church rides the Beast is by joining the UN as an associated NGO. This is the only way for such an organization to join the UN. All major world religions are associated NGOs to the UN.

Jesus' advice was that on catching sight of the disgusting thing, one should flee to the mountains and not return to the house. So having understood that the master is asking his sheep to leave the house of the now evil slave of the fallen Watchtower, the reader will want to know where these mountains of the Lord are. Well, dear reader, visit www.biblecodeintro.com for the answer to that.

[A] It really happened !

Here is a letter from the UN in response to an enquiry about the Watchtower.

11 October 2001

To Whom It May Concern:

Recently the NGO Section had been receiving numerous inquiries regarding the association of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York with the Department of Public Information (DPI). This organization applied for association with DPI in 1991 and was granted association in 1992. By accepting association with DPI, the organization agreed to meet criteria for association, including support and respect of the principles or the Charter of the United Nations and commitment and means to conduct effective information programmes with its constituents and to a broader audience about UN activities.

In October 2001, the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York requested termination of its association with DPI. Following this request, the DPI has made decisions to disassociate the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York as of 9 October 2001.

We appreciate your interest in the work of the United Nations.

Yours sincerely,

Paul Hoeffel

On the 9th October 2001, as a result it become known that the Watchtower had been riding the beast for nearly 10 years, the Watchtower terminated its association with the UN. But just because the woman gets off the Beast does not mean she has stopped being a Harlot.

Here is a copy of a fairly open letter from the JW Administration both admitting and attempting to justify their 10 year ride on the back of the Beast of Revelation 17.

Branch Committee

 
Dear Brothers:

Because of published allegations by opposers that we have secret links with the United Nations, a number of branches have inquired about the matter as we have replied. This circular letter replaces any replies we have given earlier and is sent to all branches. To anyone inquiring within your branch territory you might respond according to what is stated below:

Our purpose for registering with the department of Public Information as a non governmental organisation (NGO) in 1991 was to have access to research material available on health, ecological and social problems at the United Nations library facilities. We had been using the library for many years prior to 1991, but in that year it became necessary to register as an NGO to have continued access. Registration papers filed with the United Nations that we have on file contain no statements that conflict with our Christian beliefs. Moreover, NGOs are informed by the United Nations that “association of NGOs with the DPI does not constitute their incorporation into the United Nations system, nor does it entitle associated organizations or their staff to any kind of privileges, immunities or special status”.

Still, the criteria for Association of NGOs – at least in their latest version – contain language that we cannot subscribe to. When we realized this, we immediately withdrew our registration. We are grateful that this matter was brought to our attention.

We trust that the above is, helpful in counteracting attempts of opposers to discredit us.

Please be assured of our warm Christian love and best wishes 

Your Brothers

Chairman’s Committee

Yes. Talk about selling your birthright for a bowl of soup. Whilst it may be true that their registration papers which are filed with the UN and with the Watchtower contain no idolatrous statements, the terms and conditions of being a UN NGO were that the Watchtower had to agree to support the principles of an organisation which in scriptural terms is going to do battle with the lamb, and is therefore an enemy of Jesus on earth. The above is a despicable political statement designed not to atone for their huge sin before God but rather having failed to hide their associate status with the UN from the brothers they are now trying to hide and to misrepresent by omission the nature of that status from their flock. But who are they kidding? Do they believe that God himself is blind?

He is not. He gave Jesus, who gave the angel, who gave John information showing that the new covenant saints would ride the beast - back in the first century - see [159].

The evidence that we currently have points to the Watchtower being granted association on January 28th 1992 along with 36 other NGOs. There is a UN press release NGO/208 PI/755 which we are relying on for the date of their association right now:

The Watchtower Entry in the 1993 UN NGO Directory of Headquarters and Representatives to the United Nations

This directory is published by the Non Governmental Organizations and Institutional relations section of the UN Department of Public Information. The NGO resources centre, Room 104 is on Tel: 212 963 7234 and on Fax: 212 963 6914. 

On page 244 of the 1993 UN Associated NGO Directory DPI/NGO (015) N6 1993/Rev.1, the Watchtower is listed as follows:

The UN library UN/SA collection has a copy of this directory (First held on April 22 1994). They faxed a copy of the above to UNIC in London who faxed it to us. You can email Joseph Brookfield or Karen Davies at 

info@uniclondon.org or call them on 0207 7630 1981, or Fax them on 0207 976 6478 to get a faxed copy of the relevant page of the directory yourself if you require it. They are very helpful.

[B] How bad a sin is it ? 

Resolution passed at the 1963 Everlasting Good News convention of the JWs

WE JEHOVAH'S witnesses, met together in [City, State, Country], in one of the "Everlasting Good News" assemblies being held in a continuous chain around the whole world this year of 1963, do this day declare and resolve as follows:

5 THAT, in order to prevent the destruction of the nations by their own means in war, the nations further refused the surrender of their sovereignty to God's Messianic kingdom by setting up a society of nations, which, since 1945, has taken the form and the name of the United Nations, with international headquarters at New York city. This international organization stands for world sovereignty by political men. For years men without faith in God's kingdom have endeavored to get all people to worship this international image of human political sovereignty as the best hope for earthly peace and security, in fact, the last hope for humanity. To date 111 nations have given worship to this political image by becoming members of it. However, we, as witnesses of the Sovereign God Jehovah, will continue refusing to engage in such idolatrous worship, for we see, under angelic enlightenment, that God has smitten such idolaters with a malignant ulcer, symbolically speaking, that will spell death to them as spiritually diseased image worshipers who worship a man-made political creation rather than the Creator of heaven and earth;  

 We do not see how we can condemn then in any stronger terms than they have used to condemn themselves.

We know that the UN will battle with the lamb. And we know that the UN is represented by a wild beast in scripture. We cannot sign up to promote or support its agenda without constituting ourselves a wild beast and an enemy of the lamb…

13 These have one thought, and so they give their power and authority to the wild beast.

14 These will battle with the Lamb, but, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings, the Lamb will conquer them. Also, those called and chosen and faithful with him [will do so] (Revelation 17).

Any married woman who looks for physical or emotional security by making an agreement to give herself sexually to another man is a Harlot. Any church married to Christ, which looks for physical security by making an agreement to give herself spiritually to any earthly organisation is a Harlot church. Russell put it as follows (Kingdom Proclaimers p52)…

Every church claiming to be a chaste virgin espoused to Christ, but in reality united to and supported by the world (beast) we must condemn as being in scriptural language a harlot church.

God’s true church does not sign any agreement drawn up by the UN. The UN signs an agreement drawn up by God’s church if they want to do anything with a holy body. God’s law is superior to man’s law, not vice versa. The only way the true church should join up with them is if they all get baptised into the church, that way the temple is kept clean!

Quote from the UN NGO Brochure

www.un.org/MoreInfo/ngolink/brochure.htm

What is an NGO?

A non-governmental organization (NGO) is any non-profit, voluntary citizens' group which is organized on a local, national or international level. Task-oriented and driven by people with a common interest, NGOs perform a variety of services and humanitarian functions, bring citizens' concerns to Governments, monitor policies and encourage political participation at the community level. They provide analysis and expertise, serve as early warning mechanisms and help monitor and implement international agreements. Some are organized around specific issues, such as human rights, the environment or health. Their relationship with offices and agencies of the United Nations System differs depending on their goals, their venue and their mandate.

Over 1,500 NGOs with strong information programmes on issues of concern to the United Nations are associated with the Department of Public Information (DPI), giving the United Nations valuable links to people around the world. DPI helps those NGOs gain access to and disseminate information about the range of issues in which the United Nations is involved, to enable the public to understand better the aims and objectives of the world Organization.

How do NGOs and DPI cooperate?

The Department of Public Information and NGOs cooperate regularly. NGOs associated with DPI disseminate information about the UN to their membership, thereby building knowledge of and support for the Organization at the grassroots level. This dissemination includes:

Publicizing UN activities around the world on such issues as peace and security, economic and social development, human rights, humanitarian affairs and international law;
Promoting UN observances and international years established by the General Assembly to focus world attention on important issues facing humanity.

When did the DPI relationship with NGOs begin?

The importance of working with and through NGOs as an integral part of United Nations information activities was recognized when the Department of Public Information was first established in 1946. The General Assembly, in its resolution 13 (I), instructed DPI and its branch offices to:

"...actively assist and encourage national information services, educational institutions and other governmental and non-governmental organizations of all kinds interested in spreading information about the United Nations. For this and other purposes, it should operate a fully equipped reference service, brief or supply lecturers, and make available its publications, documentary films, film strips, posters and other exhibits for use by these agencies and organizations."

In 1968, the Economic and Social Council, by Resolution 1297 (XLIV) of 27 May, called on DPI to associate NGOs, bearing in mind the letter and spirit of its Resolution 1296 (XLIV) of 23 May 1968, which stated that an NGO "...shall undertake to support the work of the United Nations and to promote knowledge of its principles and activities, in accordance with its own aims and purposes and the nature and scope of its competence and activities".  

A UN DPI press release dated 7 August 1992 (NGO/211 PI/770) stated:

The NGOs officially recognized by the DPI co-operate with the United Nations to help build public understanding and support for United Nations programmes and goals.

"What are the Criteria for NGOs to become associated with DPI?"

Organizations eligible for association with DPI are those which:

Share the ideals of the UN Charter;
Operate solely on a not-for-profit basis;
Have a demonstrated interest in United Nations issues and proven ability to reach large or specialized audiences, such as educators, media representatives, policy makers and the business community;
Have the commitment and means to conduct effective information programmes about UN activities by publishing newsletters, bulletins, and pamphlets; organizing conferences, seminars and round tables; and enlisting the cooperation of the media.

"What is the procedure for NGOs to become associated with DPI"?

An NGO that meets the established criteria should send an official letter from its headquarters to the Chief of the NGO Section, Department of Public Information, expressing interest in association with DPI. The letter should state the reasons why the organization seeks such association and should briefly describe its information programmes. This letter should be accompanied by at least six samples of recent information materials produced by the applying organization. Letters of reference from UN Departments, UN Programmes and Specialized Agencies, and/or UN Information Centres and Services (UNICs and UNISs) will greatly enhance consideration of the application.

Correspondence should be sent to:

Chief, NGO Section
Department of Public Information
Room S-1070L
United Nations, New York, N.Y. 10017
Tel: (212) 963-6842
Fax: (212) 963-6914/2819

Finally here is a quote from a current (January 2002) NGO webpage on the UN website at: http://www.un.org/partners/civil_society/ngo/ngos-dpi.htm

Non-Governmental Organizations formally associated with United Nations through the Department of Public Information (DPI) disseminate information about the work of the United Nations to their memberships and endeavour to build knowledge about the United Nations and support for the Organization at the grassroots level. Informally, these organizations are known as "DPI/NGOs".

Watchtower article on joining Disapproved Organisations

A person might renounce his place in the Christian congregation by his actions, such as becoming part of an organisation whose objective is contrary to the bible, and hence is under judgement by Jehovah God. (Compare Revelation 19:17-21; Isaiah 2:4) So if one who was a Christian chose to join those who are disapproved of God, it would be fitting for the congregation to acknowledge by a brief announcement that he had disassociated himself and is no longer one of Jehovah's witness - The Watchtower, September 15, 1981 page 23.

Jehovah is a God of integrity, not of expediency or of politics. The Watchtower are disfellowshipped by their own words.

[C] Churches Ride the Beast by Becoming Associated NGOs to the UN

Robert Muller, retired Assistant Secretary General of the UN, defines what it means for the Harlot to ride the Beast:

Dr. Muller devoted the next 40 years of his life behind the scenes at the United Nations focusing his energies on world peace. He rose through the ranks at the UN to the official position of Assistant-Secretary-General. He has been called the "Philosopher" and "Prophet of Hope" of the United Nations. Robert Muller is a deeply spiritual person. From his vantage point of a top level global states-person he has seen a strong connection between spirituality and the political/cultural scene. (www.robertmuller.org)

During the last sixteen years of his career, Robert Muller worked directly with three secretaries-general, U Thant, Kurt Waldheim and Javier Perez de Cuellar, as director of the secretary general's office, as secretary of the Economic and Social Council and as deputy under-secretary-general for coordination and interagency affairs in the secretary-general's office. In this capacity he helped coordinate the work of the thirty-two U.N. specialized agencies and world programs. He was also in charge of launching several world conferences and international years. Appointed assistant secretary-general by Perez de Cuellar, his last assignment at the U.N. was to organize the fortieth anniversary of the U.N. in 1985.

Muller received the 1989 UNESCO Peace Education Prize, the 1993 International Albert Schweitzer Prize for Humanities, and the 1994 Eleanor Roosevelt Man of Vision Award.

Here is a quote from  “Prayer and Mediation At The United Nations” (The Watchtower 1^st June 1991 describes this a an excerpt from a recent book by Robert Muller).

"Prayer, meditation and spirituality at the UN are fascinating subjects. All major world religions are accredited to the United Nations as non-governmental organizations. For example, no less than twenty-four Catholic organizations are represented at the UN. Several of the world's religious leaders have visited the international organization. Most memorable were the visits of His Holiness Pope Paul VI during the General Assembly in 1965 and of Pope John Paul II in 1979. Many religions have special invocations, prayers, hymns and services for the United Nations. The most important examples are those of the Catholic, the Unitarian-Universalist, the Baptist and the Bahai faiths. It is a common practice of the Unitarian-Universalists to display the United Nations flag in their houses of worship. So does the Holy Family Church, the parish church of the UN, with its international reliquary and its many religious services and activities catering to world peace and to the international community.”

The whole of the above less the underlined part was quoted in the Watchtower Magazine of  1^st June 1991 on Page 17. But the underlined part of course is the crucial quote. It defines precisely what it means for a harlot church to ride the beast. Very simply you saddle up by becoming an associated NGO. There is no other mechanism for a religious organization to join the UN in order to ride the beast.

So the Watchtower saddled up on January 28^th 1992 and dismounted on October 9^th 2001.
