The nations of earth now called “Christendom” began to serve Jehovah, but in the course of time those nations fell away from the true worship of God, yielded to the seductive influence of Satan, and became corrupt, and God’s decree is that they shall be completely destroyed at Armageddon, even as Israel was destroyed.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 12
Satan knows that it is only a short time until Armageddon, which will be the final fight by Satan and his angels on one side and Christ Jesus and his angels on the other side, and, knowing this, Satan brings great woe upon the world, his purpose being to turn the people away from the true God and cause their destruction.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 14, 15
After this, and in harmony with the will of God as he has commanded, Jehovah’s witnesses will give no further notice and warning to the rulers of the world, but must now bring to the attention of the people of good will the message of notice and warning concerning Armageddon and God’s kingdom, even as Moses and Aaron gave special instruction to the Israelites just before the tenth plague came upon Egypt.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 18
The Israelites immediately left Egypt and were pursued by Pharoah and his official organization, all of which were destroyed in the sea. That foreshadowed or pictured Armageddon, which will mean the complete destruction of Satan’s rule of this world, both visible and invisible.-Rev. 16:13-16; 19:19-20:3.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 19
The flood, the destruction of Egypt, and the fall of Jerusalem brought great trouble upon the people, but Jesus declares that Armageddon shall bring upon the world, the greatest tribulation ever known, and that it will be the last. (Matt. 24:14, 21, 22) Hence we may know that the impending battle of Armageddon will be the final and complete execution of Jehovah’s judgment against the wicked, both invisible and visible.
Armageddon will not be fought between men of the nations of earth. Armageddon is the ‘battle of the great day of God Almighty’, in which Christ Jesus and his angels will fight against Satan and his wicked host, and Christ will be completely victorious.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 19, 20
God will balance the books at Armageddon.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 24
But be of good courage! The hand of Almighty God at Armageddon will smite all these enemies to the dust!
Jehovah. 1934. p. 24
Now the announcement to the rulers of the world that Christ Jesus, the great Judge, has come to the temple for judgment is a warning to all such of the punishment God will inflict upon his enemies culminating in the complete destruction of the world at Armageddon.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 53
The ten plagues were immediately followed by the destruction of Pharaoh’s army, which foreshadows that immediately following the antitypical fulfilment of the plagues there must come the destruction of Satan’s organization at Armageddon.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 69
All the plagues, antitypically, have to do with the proclamation of God’s message of truth, and this proclamation of truth or work of Jehovah’s witnesses will not be completed on earth until they have proclaimed all of Jehovah’s warning messages of vengeance and vindication; and this they must do before Armageddon.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 83, 84
Therefore Jehovah is causing his witnesses on earth to bear his message of truth throughout the world to modern Egypt, calling attention to his own supreme power and that this power will be completely made manifest at Armageddon.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 86
The three days of darkness coming upon Egypt symbolically means that the present-day darkness upon the world will continue and persist until Armageddon, when the whole of the Devil system will go down into the abyss of everlasting darkness.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 92
There is still some witness work to be done amongst the people, and preparation is now being made for the final plague to be visited upon Satan’s organization at Armageddon.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 95
The blackness of darkness is now upon the world, and must continue until Armageddon.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 97
The final plague upon the world will be at Armageddon.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 98
Even so the death of “Christ, our Passover”, and the partaking of his merit by the spirit-begotten ones, precede the slaughter of Satan’s firstborn at Armageddon.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 99
They will survive Armageddon by virtue of Jehovah’s protection. Others, to wit, people of good will, shall also survive Armageddon, but because they arc not of the “church of the firstborn” they are not shown in this type or picture.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 99
The Scriptures show, therefore, that the Jonadab class will survive Armageddon, but not for the same reason that the Lord will preserve the remnant of the firstborn-
2 Ki. 10:15-25; Jer. 35:18, 19.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 99
The blood of the paschal lamb was publicly sprinkled on the doorposts and lintels of tho houses of the Israelites, and that antitypically not only means a public confession of the blood of Christ Jesus as Jehovah’s provided redemptive price for mankind, but also signifies to the remnant that all of that class arc Judeans, that is, praisers of Jehovah, and are subject to the orders of Jehovah’s Vindicator and great High Priest, Christ Jesus, the Prophet greater than Moses; and further that the day of judgment or vengeance of God is here, which vengeance shortly will be expressed and exercised in the destruction of Satan’s “firstborn” at Armageddon.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 101
The plagues are now in operation, advancing to the great climax of destruction of Satan’s firstborn at Armageddon.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 117
In 1918, or three and one-half years thereafter, judgment begins, and then follows the antitypical fulfilment of the plagues upon Egypt, which plagues are completed at Armageddon in the destruction of the firstborn. Therefore it is those who are in Christ as members of his royal house who are the ones passed over at Armageddon, and these are passed over upon condition that they are faithful, abiding in Christ, obeying his commandments; which means that they must perform the service of bearing testimony before the rulers and before the people of and concerning the Kingdom and declaring the vengeance of our God. When this declaration is completed, then will follow the execution of the final plague at Armageddon.
The Scriptures, therefore, seem clearly to show that the firstborn of Egypt represent the visible part of Satan’s organization, which will be destroyed at Armageddon, and that the invisible part of his organization, including Satan himself, will follow shortly thereafter, when Satan shall be cast into the pit of destruction.-Rev, 19:19-21; 20:l-3. Jehovah. 1934. p. 119
If they fail to obey this command of the Lord these prisoners must receive the punishment that comes upon the world at Armageddon.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 159
When those in the covenant have been brought to the unity of the faith in Christ Jesus, “unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ” (Eph. 4:13), it is then that the new covenant is inaugurated toward them and they are made official witnesses of Jehovah; and their work as such witnesses must be done before Armageddon.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 211
While other Scriptural texts show that at Armageddon there will be great physical disturbances, these words of the apostle Paul recorded in Hebrews concerning the inauguration of the new covenant do not appear to apply at all to literal shaking or violent movements to and fro of natural objects.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 217
There will be no occasion for such ministry after Armageddon; and this is further proof that the new covenant is made and inaugurated and accomplishes its purpose prior to Armageddon.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 237
By his prophet Jehovah had foretold the coming of Elijah to do a preparatory work before “the great and the terrible day of the Lord”. (Mal. 3:1; 4:5, 6) Without a doubt Christ Jesus himself is the messenger and antitypical Elijah meant by this prophecy, and who must do a certain preparatory work before the great and terrible day of Jehovah. This prophecy must have its fulfilment just preceding Armageddon.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 336
The “winter time” is the hard time, and the time when the great fight is on. It symbolizes the time of Armageddon.
Jehovah. 1934. p. 358
