Is the End of the World Near? - GOOD NEWS IN THE LAST DAYS

The Bible foretold that during the last days, the world would be full of pain and suffering.  But the Bible also says that good things will happen

Understanding the Bible.   The prophet Daniel wrote about the last days. He said:   "The true knowledge will become abundant." (Daniel 12:4)  God would give his people the ability to understand the Bible ore clearly than ever before.  Jehovah has done this especially since 1914.  For example, he has taught us the importance of his name and his purpose for the earth as well as the truth about the ransom, what happens when we die, and the resurrection.  We have learned that only God's Kingdom can solve all our problems. We have also  learned how to be happy and how to live in way that pleases God.  But what do God's servants do with what they've learned? Another prophecy gives us the answer. 

The global preaching work.  Speaking about the last days, Jesus said:  "The good news of the Kingdom will be preached throughout the inhabited earth." (Matthew 24:3, 14)  The good news of the Kingdom is being preached in over 230 lands and in more than 700 languages.  Yes, all over the earth, Jehovah's Witnesses from "all nations and tribes" are helping people to understand what the Kingdom is ans what it will do for mankind.  (Revelation  7:9)   And they do this free of charge.  Although they are hated and persecuted by many, nothing can stop the preaching work, just as Jesus prophesied.  -LUKE 21:17.
