Let's examine the Scriptures every day 2025
Tuesday, November 11, 2025
He has revealed his secret to his servants (Amos 3:7).
We do not know how some Bible prophecies will be fulfilled (Dan. 12:8, 9). But the fact that we do not fully understand how a prophecy will be fulfilled does not mean that it will not be fulfilled. We are fully convinced that Jehovah will reveal to us at the right time what we need to know, just as he has done in the past.
The nations will proclaim “Peace and security!” (1 Thessalonians 5:3). Then the governments of this world will attack false religions and completely destroy them (Revelation 17:16, 17). Afterward, they will attack God’s people (Ezekiel 38:18, 19). And then the final battle of Armageddon will begin (Revelation 16:14, 16). We are absolutely certain that all of this will happen very soon. In the meantime, let us continue to show our gratitude to our good heavenly Father by keeping an eye on Bible prophecies and helping others to do the same.
What difficulties do God's servants face in the territories dominated by "the king of the north"?
“The king of the north” is persecuting God’s servants living in the territories he controls. Some Witnesses have been beaten and imprisoned because of their beliefs. But our brothers have not been intimidated by the actions of “the king of the north.” On the contrary, their faith is now stronger. Why? Because they know that this persecution was foretold in the book written by Daniel (Dan. 11:41). Keeping in mind the fulfillment of this detail of the prophecy will also help us to keep our hope alive and to remain loyal to Jehovah.
What difficulties have God's servants faced in the territories dominated by "the king of the south"?
In the past, “the king of the south” also launched direct attacks against Jehovah’s people. During the first half of the 20th century, many brothers were imprisoned, and some Witness children were expelled from schools for being neutral. But in recent years, the loyalty of Jehovah’s servants to God’s Kingdom has been tested in other, less direct ways. For example, during election campaigns, a Christian may be tempted to support a political party or a candidate. Of course, even though he will not vote for anyone, he may secretly wish that one of them would win. But to be completely neutral, we must be careful not only about what we do but also about what we think and feel. (John 15:18, 19; 18:36)
How do we feel when we see the fight between these two rival kings?
Those who lack faith in Bible prophecy may feel very distressed when they see “the king of the south” clashing his “horns” with “the king of the north” (Dan. 11:40, footnote). With their nuclear weapons, the two kings could wipe out life on earth. But we know that Jehovah will not allow that to happen (Isa. 45:18). So we are not worried or afraid. On the contrary, when we see the rivalry between “the king of the north” and “the king of the south,” our faith is strengthened, for it confirms that the end of this system is near.
