So did Babylon subjugate Egypt? LoLz.

If you like, use the word consume
The original matter is that it defeated the combined forces of the two most powerful nations at the time - Egypt amd Assyria. Yet, you ask how it could have bwen the greatest empire at the time

Dude I never wrote defeat, I wrote conquer so I dunno which original matter you are referring to. My argument remains Babylon was a great empire yes but the greatest? No!

Did Babylon defeat Egypt?
Yes or No?
Babylons victory over the combined forces of Assyria and Egypt made her rise to world power. Yes or No?
After the defeat, which empire was regarded the greatest at the time ?

It is there
Matthew 24:8,12
If you are confused, seek the Greek context of those words or use other translations especially the meaning of beginning of pangs or distress
Today, there's an increase in lawlessness
No more just news of petty thieves but we hear of bandits, kidnapping of school children, terrorism, homicides, assault, mass shooting, theft, drug related crimes, over all crime rate. Isn't it?
What has evolution predicted for you? Is this the future you want
2 Timothy 3;13 adds more to it
Revelation 6:3-8 says that there will be no end in sight to wars, death, epidemics, hunger until Jesus rules mankind..
To add to what I said earlier about earthquakes, I never mentioned that Bible says there will be major earthquakes. It only says there will be earthquakes in one place after another. That is what we have been seeing and hearing. Whether it reach 7.0 or e no reach, earthquake na earthquake. What was written beforehand is true...
Prophecies is where Bible shows superiority over science books and philosophy

I will respond fully in due course.

Go check what I wrote about Babylon and Egypt and point out where I wrote the word defeat.

Ninevah is being lived in, I will attach the Google map photos later.

Those earthquakes are not considered major earthquakes because they didn't reach 7.0 on the Richter scale. Meanwhile you are yet to quote the place it is written that Jesus said earthquakes will increase.

Edit: I have added 2 screenshots of Google maps, one is of the overhead view of the Kuyunjik hill and the other is ground level shot from the hill to show how close the road and buildings are to the hill. The write up you posted even says there is a village on Kuyunjik.

Edit 2: Added a 3rd picture to show the village and their farms close to the Sennacherib palace ruins.

Look at Ninevah
The entire surface area of the ancient city

You keep asking me to do your own homework for you. Oh so your JW Bible is not enough again? Why don't you mention the so called translation or screenshot the Greek context? LMAO!

Just show me from the Bible where it says earthquakes will increase or are you going to finally acknowledge that there is no place it says earthquakes or wars will increase? There were earthquakes before Jesus so what is special about predicting that there'd be earthquakes?

Regarding earthquakes
If you lived 500 or 1000 or 2000 years ago and you hear that there is or was or will be major earthquakes, what comes to mind?
The devastation it causes to lives of people, animals and properties OR the magnitude on Richter scale?

If a friend from another land calls you and he's scared amd you sense it and he tells you that a great earthquake occurred, will your thinking go to the effect of the earthquake (according to his statement) or the magnitude by Richter scale?
Some translation uses powerful earthquakes, some just mention earthquakes...
Which one was Jesus talking about?
Poor critical thinker

Wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes, food shortages, moral decay, ruining of the planet, rise in false religion, blasphemy, increase in lawlessness, preaching the good news of the kingdom earthwide... All these are part of the sign (not signs) that Jesus mentioned. They are just like the lines that form a fingerprint... That fingerprint only matches our day...
The end of the world is very near
All what the Bible foretold is clearly seen
The next major event is for world leaders to come together to announce or declare that they have brought peace and security (false peace though). Which one is likely, A world war that will destroy lives (especially as they are many nuclear weapons today) OR political leaders coming together to make agreements with warring nations or factions both local, and international? They cannot just declare peace and security. They must have done things or taken diplomatic steps to ensuring this.
Next major event is that the religious empire will be destroyed. It is no longer surprising to me as many people and groups are calling on the government to destroy or ban religion, many people are already becoming irreligious as Bible foretold, making these religions weaker and weaker. The Bible says that it is the political empire that will destroy her without pity and many will celebrate but later, some will grieve (apparently for selfish reasons since religion is what political leaders have used to make religious leaders urge people to go to war, etc)... Atheists and even religious people will think that they have defeated God by destroying all religions especially as they claim to be invincible claiming to have God's power. They did not know that these have already been forewritten that God will put it into the heart of the political empire to destroy her. Who does the Bible describes as the means to give the force to such event, it is the UN. Religion will not fade away but be destroyed. Why this happens, Bible does not mention. It could be how she's helped promote wars, support wars, or making huge money by extorting the people. We don't know but that time will come and the Bible says that everyone will give devotion to the political empire or nationalism...
The events are scary though but exciting
We'll wait and see

Now that you have acknowledged that increase was not mentioned in Jesus' so called prophecy, know tell me what is special about predicting earthquakes, war, famine, plagues and moral decay? Is there any century on earth from even before Jesus' time that these were not happening at the same time? If there is mention it. Did your Watchtower people not say these thing were happening in 1874 when Jesus was first predicted to come back by your organisation, more than a century ago and that the last days started in in 1799 almost another century before 1874?

I know this the "end is near" shtick is what they are using to scare you in your Kindgom Halls but my guy no be today una organisation start to dey fearmonger. We are well past a century since your organisation first started its doomsaying and you are not the first ones either.

What did your organisation say when the UN was formed? The UN is approaching its own century of existence and yet you are here talking some BS about world leaders coming together.

Ban on religion is another thing that comes and goes in human history. But sure tell me how this whatever ban happens is more special than all the other bans of religion that have happened in the past.
