The Watchtower (study edition), “What Do We Know About Jehovah's Future Judgments? (Study Article 19)”

May 2024 · pp.8-13 · pars. 3-4 (p. 9); par. 12 (p. 11) · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“In the past, we said that once the great tribulation begins, no unbelievers will be able to take their stand for Jehovah and survive Armageddon. We came to that conclusion because we understood that the account of the Flood was a prophetic type. … Should we view the account of the Flood as a prophetic type? The answer is no. Why? Because there is no direct Scriptural support for doing so.”

Par. 12: 'Even after the great tribulation starts, it is possible that some who see the destruction of “Babylon the Great” will recall that Jehovah's Witnesses had long spoken of this event. Might some who see these events have a change of heart?'
