YK,
: By the way, no one is saying the king of the north is still the Soviet Union. Indeed how could it be when the USSR doesn't even exist anymore?
Indeed. But the WTS had no doubt:
"The facts of history in fulfillment of this reliable prophecy show the ruling factors of totalitarianism, particularly world communism, to be the final "king of the north" and the ruling factors of democracy, particularly the Anglo-American combine, as the last "king of the south."" (Watchtower 5/15 1969, page 305; bold added)
Don't be sad, YK. It just adds up to yet another failed Watchtower prophecy, and this should not me news to you.
I don't know what it takes to still cling to the
peculiar Bible interpretations of a group with a 100% failure rate over around 130 years, but whatever it is, you've got it!
