Evil Does Not Exist by James Aguilar (books on motivation .txt) 📕

that what Jesus foretold is now taking place! Let’s examine the evidence that we are living in “the conclusion of the system of things.” Now, let us consider a war that no human could possibly have observed. It took place in the invisible spirit realm, and its outcome affects us. How does the outcome affect us today in modern days? I believe in that the book of Revelations found in the bible teaches truth of this war in heaven.
Jesus Christ became King in heaven in heaven in the year 1914. (Daniel 7:13, 14) I believe in that the bible teaches on the basis of the books of Numbers 14:34 and Ezekiel 4:6, which speak of “a day for a year,” the “seven times” would cover 2,520 years. The 2,520 years began in October 607 B.B.E., when Jerusalem fell to the Babylonians and the Davidic King was taken off his throne. The period ended in October 1914. During the 19th century, sincere bible student calculated that the waiting period would end in 1914. I believe in that the bible teaches world events that began in 1914 confirm that the calculation of these sincere bible students was correct. Soon after he received Kingdom power, Jesus took action. “War broke out in heaven,” says the bible. “Michael (another name for Jesus) and his angels battled with the dragon (Satan the Devil), and the dragons angels.” Satan and his wicked angels, the demons, lost that war and were cast out of heaven to the earth. God's faithful spirit sons rejoiced that Satan and his demons were gone. Humans, however, would experience no such joy. Instead, I believe in that the bible teaches: “Woe for the earth . . . because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time” (Revelations 12:7, 9, 12). Please lets notice what would result from the war in heaven. In his fury, Satan the Devil would bring woe, or trouble, upon those on earth. As we can see, I believe in that the bible teaches we are now living in that time of woe. However, it will be relatively brief a “short period of time.” Even Satan realizes that. I believe in that the bible teaches and refers to this period as “the last days.” (2 Timothy 3:1) How glad we can be that God will soon do away with the Devil's influence over the earth! Let us consider some of the things foretold in the bible that are happening right now in modern days. These prove that we are living in the last days and that God's Kingdom will soon bring everlasting blessings to those who love Jehovah. Now, let us examine four features of the sign that Jesus said would mark the time in which we live.
I believe in that the bible teaches mayor developments of the last days. First, “nation will rise against nation and Kingdom against Kingdom.” (Matthew 24:7) Millions of people have been killed in wars during the past century. The 20th century was the most murderous in recorded history. It was a century of almost unbroken war, with few and brief periods without organized armed conflict somewhere. Three times as many people fell victim to war in the 20th century as in all the wars from the first century AD to 1899. More than 100 million people have died as a result of wars since 1914. Even if we know the sorrow of losing one loved one in warfare, we can only imagine such misery and pain multiplied millions of times over. Second, “there will be food shortages.” (Matthew 24:7) Food production has increased greatly during the past 30 years. Nevertheless, food shortages continue because many people do not have enough money to buy food or land on which to raise crops. In developing countries, well over a billion people have to live on an income of a dollar or less a day. The majority of these suffer from chronic hunger. The malnutrition plays a major role in the deaths of more than five million children each year. I believe in that the bible teaches these four developments would happen in the last days.
Third, “there will be great earthquakes.” (Luke 21:11) According to the U.S. Geological Survey since 1990 alone an average of 17 earthquakes per year has been powerful enough to damage buildings and crack the ground. On an average, earthquakes strong enough to cause total destruction of buildings have occurred yearly. Earthquakes have claimed hundreds of thousands of lives in the last 100 years and improvements in technology have only slightly reduced the death toll. Tsunami's are caused by underground earthquakes and have killed thousands of people in the last 15 years. Lastly, “there will be . . . pestilence.” (Luke 21:11) Despite medical advances, old and new diseases plague mankind. 20 well known diseases, including tuberculosis, malaria, and cholera have become more common in resent decades. Some types of disease are increasingly difficult to cure by means of drugs. In fact, at least 30 new diseases have appeared. Some of them have no known cure and are fatal like aids and HIV. This four mayor development that we see today in modern times shows the accuracy the bible has. I believe in that the bible teaches foretold long ago that we are living in the last days.
I believe in that the bible also describes the people of the last days. Aside from identifying certain world developments, the bible foretold that the last days would be marked by a change in human society. I believe in that the bible teaches the apostle Paul described what people in general would be like. Apostle Paul says: “in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here” (2 Timothy 3:1-5). I believe in that the bible teaches that the apostle Paul said that people would be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, disobedient to parents, disloyal, having no natural affection, without self control, fierce, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, and having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power. Have people become like that in our community? No doubt they have. There are people everywhere who have bad traits. I believe in that the bible teaches shows that God will soon act, for the bible says: “when the wicked ones sprout as the vegetation and all the practices of what they may be annihilated forever” (Psalms 92:7) The last days are indeed filled with woe, just as the bible foretold. In this troubled world, however, there are positive developments among the worshipers of Jehovah God.
I believe in that the bible also teaches positive developments. “The true knowledge will become abundant,” the bible book of Daniel foretold. When would that happen? I believe that the bible teaches during “the time of the end.” (Daniel 12:4) Especially since 1914, Jehovah God has helped those who truly desire to serve Him to grow in understanding of the bible. I believe in that the bible thought many to have grown in appreciation of precious truths about God's name and purpose, the ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the condition of the dead, and the resurrection. Moreover, worshipers of Jehovah have learned how to live their lives in a way that benefits them and brings praise to God. They have also gained a clearer understanding of the role of God's Kingdom and how it will set matters straight on the earth. What do they do with this knowledge? That question brings us to yet another prophecy that is being fulfilled in these last days. I believe in that the bible has the answer to the question. “This good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth,” said Jesus Christ in his prophecy about “the conclusion of the system of things.” (Matthew 24:3, 14) Throughout the earth, the good news of what the kingdom is, what it will do, and how we can receive its blessings is being preached in over 230 lands and in more than 400 languages. There is a positive growth of the true knowledge of the bible.
I believe in that the bible identifies the true Christians. Jehovah God identifies and says: “You are my witnesses . . . even my servant whom I have chosen, in order that you may know and have faith in me . . . before me there was no God formed, and after me there continued to be none” (Isaiah 43:10). Today there are true Christians that exist. There are pure Christians because they use the original Greek and Hebrew scriptures without omitting God’s name. Millions of Jehovah's Witnesses zealously preach the Kingdom good news. They come from “all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues.” (Revelations 7:9) The Witnesses conduct free home bible studies with millions of people who want to know what the bible really teaches. I believe in that the bible teaches it is an impressive fulfillment of prophecy, especially since Jesus foretold that true Christians would be “objects of hatred by all people”! (Luke 21:17) Since so many bible prophecies are being fulfilled to day, I believe in that the bible teaches we are living in the last days. After the good news is preached to God Jehovah's satisfaction, “the end” is certain to come. (Matthew 24:14) “The end” or “Armageddon” means the time when God will get rid of wickedness on earth. To destroy all who willfully oppose Him, Jehovah will use Jesus and powerful angels. (2 Thessalonians 1:6-9) The human beings who never believed in Jehovah God or Satan the Devil are also victims of Armageddon. God wishes they were either hot or cold because if they are warm God hates them truly the most. (Revelations 3:15, 16) I believe the bible teaches truth and that Satan and his demons will no longer mislead the nations. After that, God's Kingdom will shower blessings upon all who submit to its righteous ruler ship. (Revelations 20:1-3; 21:3-5) In conclusion I believe in that the bible is inspired by God and it teaches the truth about the purpose for mankind.
