World War II is the “all out” come- back attempt of the “Holy Roman Empire”. It shall be her last, and will end in her complete destruction at the “battle of that great day of God Almighty”, Armageddon. That afflicting religious organization will never rise up again thereafter.
Consolation. January 20, 1943 p. 28
The warring nations are already on the march to a still greater conflict, the battle of Armageddon. After the present global war ends with victory for the United Nations as it is hoped, and the postwar “new order” sets in, the nations will keep on with their march to the grand climax, “the battle of that great day of God Almighty.”
Consolation. March 17, 1943 p. 3
Being enlightened and given the opportunity to act intelligently, such seekers of life and happiness can make a choice and take their stand for God and his Theocratic Government before Armageddon’s fight. The new college is dedicated to the work of educating the people in these matters affecting their eternal destinies. Hence the establishment of the college is not an indication that the battle of Armageddon is farther off than has been believed hitherto by students of Bible prophecy and the times, but is a strong indication that the time till that battle is short. By inaugurating the college its backers are not seeking to extend or lengthen the time until Armageddon, but are striving to speed up the campaign of education which must be carried on world-wide before the great tribulation breaks.
Consolation. March 17, 1943 p. 3
Study of sacred prophecy indicates that God has a fixed time to begin His fight at the battle of Armageddon; s it is written in the maxims of the wise man Solomon: “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of WAR, and a time of peace.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1, 8) Therefore, whatever any creatures on earth now do could in no wise move forward the date of Armageddon or push it back.
Consolation. March 17, 1943 p. 3, 4
At most, students of the Scriptures can only take cognizance of the evidence of Armageddon’s nearness and can then apply themselves to the utmost and in the most effective manner to get the allotted work done on time. The interim between the close of World War I in 1918 and the beginning of the of Armageddon constitutes the time period by which Jehovah God Almighty shortens the days of tribulation.
Consolation. March 17, 1943 p. 4
Thereby such ones may be hid in the day of His anger and may be of ‘that flesh which is saved’ during Armageddon.
Consolation. March 17, 1943 p. 4
Corresponding to this, it was the Lord’s due time for the Watchtower Bible College to be established now, after A. D. 1938. Its establishment, rather than indicating that the battle of Armageddon is farther off than we had believed, is actually a proof that the fixed time for that battle to begin is near.
Consolation. March 17, 1943 p. 14
In view of the impending battle of Armageddon signaling the old world’s dismal end, the work of Gilead’s Bible college is one of immediate necessity and of defense of the people against destruction in that battle.
Consolation. March 17, 1943 p. 16
Surely to deliver God’s warning of the approaching calamity of Armageddon is a service of kindness and good-will; and when met, as often, with sticks and stones from the very ones who are most endangered and most in need, the faithful ambassadors of heist are rendering a service of mercy, humility, and self-abasement.
Consolation. March 17, 1943 p. 17
Perhaps some of these Jews in South America and elsewhere may have heart to hear the message of “present Truth”, and may find their way into Jehovah’s organization, the true Theocracy, before the storm of Armageddon breaks and all will be lost for those who are not by that time firmly on God’s side.
Consolation. March 17, 1943 p. 21
On September 8, 1942, this Crown colony placed all WATCHTOWER publications under ban, not merely for the duration of the global war, but perpetually. Protest was cabled from America to the governor-general, the former King Edward VIII, who abdicated the throne to “marry the woman I love”; but without avail. The ban will doubtless continue to stand, but not perpetually; at the longest only till the execution of Jehovah’s judgment at the battle of Armageddon.

At Armageddon all the wicked will be dispensed with!
Consolation. April 28, 1943 p. 5
They refer to this war as Armageddon, an old world before it, and a new one to follow. Jehovah God will completely, destroy this ‘present old evil world’ at His miraculously fought battle of Armageddon, still future, and thereafter His new world, Christ’s kingdom, not the Pacelli-Hitler “new order”, will have sole and supreme dominion throughout the earth, “from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.”-Psalm 72:8.
Consolation. April 28, 1943 p. 8
The record says they “receive power as kings ONE HOUR with the beast”. “One hour,” with God, denotes a very brief time; and suddenly those ten horns and the beast will go into perdition, not peacefully, but violently, at the battle of Armageddon. This time the beast and its heads and horns will go, not into the”bottomless pit”, but into the “lake of fire and brimstone”, to be utterly consumed and destroyed.-Revelation 19:20; 20:10.
Consolation. April 28, 1943 p. 13
Faithful continuance in well-doing, regardless of how near Armageddon is, was the firm resolve each Theocratic publisher carried away in his heart.
Consolation. April 28, 1943 p. 14
These men believed in the word and promises of Almighty God and anxiously looked forward to the time when the battle of Armageddon would completely break the yoke of the oppressor and when the sovereignty of all governments would be removed from man and transferred to the duly constituted “King of kings, and Lord of lords”, Christ Jesus, in whom God will vest authority and power to rule over the people.
Consolation. May 28, 1943 p. 4
This message of the kingdom or rulership of Christ Jesus as the sovereign power in The Theocracy is proclaimed by Jehovah’s witnesses to all people of good-will toward God that they may escape the great destructive tribulation at Armageddon, which is very near.

Amidst war, famine, pestilence, earthquakes, peace, prosperity, and depression the preaching of the gospel of God’s kingdom must go on unabated unto the end of the world at Armageddon.
Consolation. May 28, 1943 p. 8
What will be the end of this depopulating process which “the king of the north” is carrying out all over Europe? The Scriptures show what will follow this accursed time. Armageddon! The thing that will follow, after Armageddon has done its cleansing work, will be that Satan will be chained: the demons that worked with him will be destroyed; the Hirdmen and the Gestapo will he silent in the Bible hell, along with all the other accursed nuisances which have made this beautiful earth an inferno.

The circumstances in which the people and the nations now find themselves present a clear, serious and immediate danger of destruction at Armageddon of every one who fails to take an intelligent stand on the side of Jehovah God and His kingdom.
Consolation. July 7, 1943 p. 11
The enlightenment and education of the people in these days of darkness in harmony with the above commandments has been carried on in the recent past and will continue to be carried on in the immediate future, clear on up to Armageddon, by virtue of and through the use and study of The Watchtower and kindred publications to the number of millions upon millions of copies.
Consolation. July 7, 1943 p. 12
Bishop Manning could get a reunion with Harney, Hitler, Mussolini, Franco and Salazar by surrendering his keys to the pope. These are all members of the one big “church” that Manning sees afar off, but which is closer than he thinks. Every vestige of that “church” will disappear at Armageddon, and Manning’s along with it. So, maybe the idea of a reunion is not such a fine idea after all.
Consolation. July 24, 1943 p. 24
“Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock [such as Franco, Mussolini, all catholics, and “principal” men]: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a vessel of desire.” (Jeremiah 25:34, margin) Armageddon will abolish the chanting hypocrites.
Consolation. August 4, 1943 p. 15
A danger, in its degree and extent never equaled in the course of history, now confronts all mankind. That great danger is: Inclusion with God’s enemies in their destruction at Armageddon! From death at the Lord’s hands there is no hope of resurrection. (Deuteronomy 32:39) Religion’s rulers have chosen to oppose God, and therefore may not escape that danger.
Consolation. September 1, 1943 p. 3

Hence it must not. he mistaken to picture that the ‘great multitude’ after Armageddon will not have the divine mandate issued to them to be this time really carried out to a finality under the righteous overlord, The Theocracy. The requirement of virginity pictures that before Armageddon’s fight the Lord’s ‘other sheep’ must serve Jehovah at his temple in singleness of devotion to him.”
Consolation. September 1, 1943 p. 30
Here the Watchtower article anticipates the wresting of the Jephthah picture by the “evil servant” class and others to attempt to disprove that the divine mandate will be issued to and carried out by Armageddon’s survivors, and beats such truth-distorters to the punch by refuting the argument before it was even made.
Consolation. September 1, 1943 p. 30
When the old “whore” goes to her eternal destruction in Armageddon there will be some Frenchmen and some of their unwelcome visitors from the East that will know that there is a God in heaven unmatched in any way by the god of Pacelli and Hitler, the “god of this world”, the Devil, the prince of darkness.
Consolation. September 15, 1943 p. 11

At Armageddon they will realize, too late, that they fight against God.-Acts 5:38, 39.
Consolation. October 27, 1943 p. 24
Christians know religionists will persist in their anti-God fight; that when Armageddon strikes they will be in the midst of their all-out assault against The Theocracy.
Consolation. October 27, 1943 p. 26

But it will be their so-called ‘new order’ that will pass away at Armageddon, and God’s Word will stand vindicated as true.
Consolation. November 10, 1943 p. 32
THE Cincinnati Enquirer, not having noticed that Europe has been a warring camp ever since the Roman Catholic Church got the bit in its teeth fifteen hundred years ago, and that the more power that institution gets, the worse conditions are and the less of real Christianity there is, feels that what is needed at this time is, not the entire housecleaning of hypocrisy and lies which Almighty God has promised shall take place at Armageddon, but a resurgence, a resurrection of more hypocrisy and lies.
Consolation. November 24, 1943 p. 28
Armageddon intervenes, it is true, but when it is over and gone the joy of every honest heart will have come.
