Questions From Readers/What "thought" will Jehovah put into the hearts of the nations in the near future? - Conclusion

 What a gift that transfiguration was for Peter-and for us! Decades later he wrote of the privilege he had that night of actually seeing a preview of Jesus as a glorious heavenly King and of being one of the "eyewitnesses" of his magnificence." That vision confirmed many prophecies of God's Word and strengthened Peter's faith for the trials he had yet to face. (Read 2 Peter 1:16-19.) It can do the same for us if, like Pete, we remain loyal to the Master whom Jehovah has appointed over us, learning from him, accepting his discipline and correction, and humbly following him day by day. 

What, then, may we expect. We need not look for news reports that governments are slowly becoming more supportive of the United Nations. What can we expect is this: With startling suddenness, Jehovah will put it into the hearts of the nations to hand over their power to the wild beast. When that happens, we will know that the great tribulation is about to begin. Meanwhile, "let us stay awake and keep our senses" because sudden changes are soon to come! - 1 THESSALONIANS 5:6.
