5. In 1914 the world changed course
Of the aspects of this prophecy, which have you seen or heard of?
I have seen wars, famines and violent protests in which innocent people lose their lives. It is also common to see earthquakes and epidemics.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Well, many aspects, since today it is very common to hear about wars, there are many places where people suffer from hunger, the political situations of the countries lead to violent protests where unfortunately many innocent people die, and what can we say about earthquakes and Epidemics, and an epidemic test is what we experienced recently with this covid-19 pandemic where many people and brothers from all over the earth lost their lives and therefore many suffered the loss of their loved ones.
We have seen countries involved in wars and other countries taking sides to participate in them and what has affected humanity in recent days is the increase in different epidemics which are causing a lot of damage worldwide.
Of the attitudes mentioned in the text, which ones have you seen?
The attitudes that I have seen are love of money, they have no self-control, they are full of anger And this is reflected in the news that we see every day.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
The love of money has transformed people in a great way, since due to this many take their lives out of necessity and other people and others also do it because they cannot control the ambition to possess wealth, which shows that it has cooled the love for what is most important, both the love of neighbor and the love of God, and that has made them lose their fear of doing bad things.
For example, today it is very common to see that people become more selfish every day, they are more interested in riches than in pleasing God, they also do not have self-control, they are full of Fury which leads them to commit atrocities that we can see daily both in the news and in the places where we live
ILLUSTRATION
Images of the world situation in recent days: 1. A military leader shouting with his arms raised from a podium. 2. Collapsed buildings after an earthquake. 3. Military aircraft. 4. People with masks walking down the street. 5. New York's Twin Towers engulfed in flames after a terrorist attack. 6. A man taking drugs. 7. A man raising his fist and yelling at his wife. 8. Different types of drugs and alcoholic beverages. 9. Two women in flashy clothes and jewelry taking a selfie. 10. A disc jockey making people dance at a concert. 11. A protester throwing a Molotov cocktail.
6. Knowing that the Kingdom of God is already ruling should prompt us to act
What important work shows that the Kingdom of God is already ruling?
The work of preaching.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
In the text cited in the paragraph we see that Jesus, his disciples asked him, what would be the sign that would be before his presence and the conclusion of this system, and Jesus in response told him that before the end came he would leave to preach the good news of the Kingdom to all the inhabited earth, which would be a witness to all nations and after that the end would come. So the important work that shows that the kingdom of God is ruling is the preaching of the Good News.
The work of the greatest campaign to teach people the good things that the Kingdom of God will bring and this preaching reaches all the remote parts of the Earth just as Jesus commanded us in Matthew 24:14.
How can you participate in this work?
They participate in preaching to the fullest according to our circumstances.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
If we are not publishers yet, we can meet the requirements to be publishers, and if we already are, we can increase our service by setting goals such as being an auxiliary or regular pioneer or supporting isolated places, we can also learn other languages to reach more people.
For example, those who are students of the Bible, can talk to the brother who told him that, and express his desire to preach and thus later speak with the elders of the congregation to be an unbaptized publisher and to be able to participate in this beautiful facet. it is to bring the good news of the Kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God is already ruling, and it will soon take complete control of the planet. Read Hebrews 10:24, 25 and discuss the following:
What should we all do “as we see the day drawing near”?
Don't stop meeting.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
In the meetings we have the opportunity to encourage our brothers and receive encouragement from them and doing this will help us to follow the correct path that leads us to life and this is of the utmost importance because the day is getting closer. .
Also in the meetings apart from strengthening ourselves spiritually, we forget about the things that this world is going through and also what this world offers us, that is why it is very important to be in the meetings and also participate in them.
ILLUSTRATION
Series of images: 1. A student at a meeting of Jehovah's Witnesses. 2. The same student preaching to an acquaintance.
If you learned something that could help others and save their lives, what would you do?
Personally, I would share the knowledge that I have learned. And even more so if that knowledge will help save the lives of others, since life is very valuable to Jehovah.
WHAT SOME ASK: “Why do Jehovah's Witnesses talk so much about 1914?”
What would I say?
Because in 1914 Jesus began to reign in heaven.
ILLUSTRATION
We talked about this year so much, because it is a very important date, since in that year Jesus began to rule the kingdom of God in heaven.
Also because it is the beginning for things to change, since talking about the Kingdom of God keeps our hope alive.
RESUME
Biblical prophecies and the world situation indicate that the Kingdom of God is already ruling. And we show that we believe it by preaching that Kingdom and attending the meetings of the congregation.
Review
What happened after the seven times predicted in the book of Daniel ended?
At that moment Jesus became King of the Kingdom of God.
ADDITIONAL COMMENT
These seven times, as we have seen, ended in 1914, and at that time Jesus became king of the Kingdom of God, after which Satan and his demons were cast down to Earth.
What convinces you that the Kingdom of God began to rule in 1914?
The fact that there are wars and epidemics is a unique event that in years prior to 1914 never happened on a large scale, that is why I am convinced that this year the Kingdom of God began to rule.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
See how the prophecies related to the kingdom of God lead us this year, and how wars, epidemics and many more things mentioned in the Bible have increased.
Well, seeing that all the prophecies regarding the kingdom of God lead us to this year, we could say that in 1914 the world changed its course, bigger wars began, more epidemics and many more things that the Bible mentions.
How can you show that you believe the Kingdom is already ruling?
Preaching and attending meetings.
