Through Bible verses and interpretation, it answers pivotal questions about our times and offers a roadmap for those seeking spiritual guidance and assurance. Explore the Biblical prophecies and understand what they mean for humanity’s future.

What do some people understand “Armageddon” to mean? Is Armageddon merely another war between nations?

Many people understand Armageddon as a global war or apocalypse. However, the Bible reveals it as the symbolic location for the battle between God and wicked human forces. It’s not merely a war between nations but God’s war to end all wickedness. Revelation 16:16 refers to the place called Armageddon, where kings of the earth gather for battle on the great day of God the Almighty.

Will Armageddon mean the end of mankind or the earth? Or will there be a renewed earth?

Armageddon does not mean the end of mankind or the Earth. Instead, it’s the destruction of wickedness, leading to a renewed Earth. Isaiah 45:18 states that God created the earth to be inhabited. Revelation 21:1-4 describes a new heaven and a new earth where there is no more death, mourning, or pain.

What will Armageddon accomplish?

Armageddon will rid the world of evil and establish justice, setting the stage for a peaceful kingdom under God’s rule. Psalm 37:10-11 speaks of the wicked being no more, while the meek will inherit the earth and enjoy abundant peace.

How does Bible prophecy describe conditions after Armageddon?

Scripture paints a picture of a paradise where death and suffering cease. Isaiah 25:8 tells us that God will wipe away tears and remove death forever. Isaiah 11:6-9 describes a peaceful coexistence between animals and humans.

What is the “great tribulation,” and how do we know it will last only a short time?

The “great tribulation” is an unparalleled time of distress. Matthew 24:21-22 says it will be cut short for the sake of the chosen ones, indicating its brevity.

Why can we face the “great tribulation” with confidence?

Confidence comes from faith in God’s promises and understanding that the tribulation precedes restoration. Romans 8:35-39 assures that nothing can separate believers from God’s love.

Should we sense that a climax in human affairs is approaching?

The convergence of events signals that a climax is near. 2 Timothy 3:1-5 describes perilous times in the last days marked by people’s self-love and disobedience.

How does the Bible describe the period of time leading up to the “great tribulation”?

This period is marked by growing instability and moral decline, aligning with 2 Timothy 3:13, where evil people and impostors go from bad to worse.

The Last days run from 33 C.E. (Jesus’ Resurrection) up until Armageddon, so why can we say we are deep into the “last days”?

Hebrews 1:2 refers to these times as the “last days,” and the acceleration of events and moral decay confirms we are deep into this period.

Do recent developments [1920-2020] in world affairs verify that the way is being prepared for the “great tribulation”?

World events align with Bible prophecies, confirming preparation for the tribulation. Matthew 24:6-8 speaks of wars and rumors of wars, famines, and earthquakes as the beginning of birth pains.

Whom should we trust to solve today’s problems?

Only God and His Kingdom can solve today’s problems, as stated in Proverbs 3:5-6, where trust in Jehovah with all one’s heart leads to straight paths.

In conclusion, the Leningrad Codex’s importance lies in its rich insights into the human and divine realms, shedding light on eternal truths. The path to understanding these profound subjects is found in the diligent study of God’s Word, illuminated by the light of the Holy Spirit-inspired Scriptures.
