If Babylon fell in one Night, can it be the same for this wicked world?

?????

Got this comment this morning from a sister. Thought it was a really good thought more than just a comment. She is right on as we spiral toward the end of this system.

?????

Just as Babylon fell in one night. a little history here. The work to divert the river took time but the final result in just hours.

?????

Thought this picture kinda hit the vortex on the head so to speak. Her comment. "Have you ever used a "funnel" to pour liquid in a container? Have you noticed how fast it goes down when the liquid gets to the very end? FAST doesn't it?

?????

Well, that's how fast this system is going down. When the great tribulation comes, it will really go down fast!!!

WE ARE VERY CLOSE TO THE END. WATCH HOW FAST IT GOES DOWN!!" - Bible Speaks

Like an irritant in God's eye, awaiting to be flushed out...

The time of judgement will seem fast when it starts because it will be fast, Jehovah never drags out His executive action. He is not vindictive, even in judgement, is He?

As for the time left until then? As it is reduced (1Cor.7:29), and reduces every time we think about it,  then of course less time remains each moment that we live.

But Jehovah does not speed up the time left until the "great tribulation". He is actually patient with us, because He does not desire any to be destroyed (2Pet.3:9). So the more time left, the more time we have to help others to "repentance". But, for them, there is less time left for them to develop a strong faith in preparation for the future events. That is when Jehovah can intervene to speed up the numbers hauled in from this old system (Is. 60:22), and to speed up their development to the level of maturity they need (1Cor 3:6). And then, after we all have endured, He can finish our training (1Pet.5:10).

w00 11/15  27 §3 ***We Can Learn From the First Human Couple***

Finally, Adam and Eve were evicted from the garden of Eden. Jehovah said: “Here the man has become like one of us in knowing good and bad, and now in order that he may not put his hand out and actually take fruit also from the tree of life and eat and live to time indefinite . . .” “The sentence ends in mid-air,” notes scholar Gordon Wenham, and we are left to supply the rest of God’s thought—presumably, “let me expel him from the garden.” Generally, a Bible writer reports God’s complete thought. But here, continues Wenham, “the omission of the conclusion conveys the speed of God’s action. He had hardly finished speaking before they were sent out of the garden.” (Genesis 3:22, 23) With that, all communication between Jehovah and the first couple apparently ceased.

Belshazzar's Feast (Rembrandt)

According to Daniel 5:1-31, King Belshazzar of Babylon takes sacred golden and silver vesselsfrom the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem by his predecessor Nebuchadnezzar. Using these holy items, the King and his court praise 'the gods of gold and silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone'. Immediately, the disembodied fingers of a human hand appear and write on the wall of the royal palace the words "MENE", "MENE", "TEKEL", "UPHARSIN"

A clay cylinder covered in Akkadian cuneiform script, damaged and broken, the Cyrus Cylinder is a powerful symbol of religious tolerance and multi-culturalism. In this enthralling talk Neil MacGregor, Director of the British Museum, traces 2600 years of Middle Eastern history through this single object.
