The Scriptures foretold this development for our day.
(Revelation 16:12) The sixth one poured out his bowl on the great river Eu·phra'tes, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the rising of the sun. What is the "water" that is being "dried up"?
(Revelation 17:15) He said to me: “The waters that you saw, where the prostitute is sitting, mean peoples and crowds and nations and tongues. During the Lord’s day, Babylon the Great has seen the waters, the people who support her, dry up dramatically. Today, the churches and their ministers have lost the respect and support of the masses. In fact, many people believe that religion contributes to or causes conflict. An increasingly vocal and militant group of Western intellectuals is calling for the end of religion’s influence on society.
Soon Jehovah will cause the political elements of Satan’s system, as represented by the United Nations, to attack false religion. They will destroy her influence and devastate her riches.
