For many centuries the Devil has gone ahead uninterrupted in his rule and has tried to solidify his gains, and now he is making the last desperate effort to bring all peoples into subjection unto his rule, both in heaven and in earth, to make a stand ready for the final battle, the battle of Armageddon.

Whether the servants of Jehovah are in the ranks of the special pioneer publishers, general pioneers, or company publishers, whether they be in a large organization or a small, they still appreciate that they are all working to the one end, that is, preaching this gospel of the Kingdom and aiding the “other sheep” before the battle of Armageddon.

It is their privilege to fulfill their commission before the Lord, and to aid the “other sheep” to carry on the ‘fishing’ and ‘hunting’ work, and show these persons who seek meekness and righteousness the one safe place to be when the battle of Armageddon strikes. All, at unison, are doing this.

The Scriptures, however, point out that the Catholic Hierarchy, along with its great world power of totalitarian rule, will not last, but will go down at the battle of Armageddon, but the lovers of righteousness will prevail under Jehovah’s protection and then peace will truly be established through Christ Jesus toward all Armageddon survivors of good-will toward his righteous government.

On December 8, 1941, the day after the sneak attack at Pearl Harbor, the Indiana Supreme Court declared that ‘advocating the establishment of God’s Kingdom and declaring that all governments of the present evil world would be soon destroyed at Armageddon’ did not constitute a violation of the state sedition laws, and that Jehovah’s witnesses had been falsely charged under such statutes.

The unceasing working example set for these new ones by the older publishers has been a real stimulus and blessing, and the “other sheep” who are now taking their stand do so with the full appreciation of what is required of them and they are of the same mind as the older publishers, fully determined to fight for the New World until victory at Armageddon, regardless of persecution and opposition.

This wicked reign of the Devil by his demons will come to the final end, and we believe that by some means Jehovah God in his infinite wisdom and mercy will preserve the lovers of righteousness for their good works and faith and they will be brought through Armageddon.

The placements of literature now are breaking all records of the past. The Chinese people in this time of great stress take much literature. No doubt the Lord is causing a great witness to be given to the people, particularly the Chinese, in this land before Armageddon.

This, then, is the victory, even our faith: a faith grounded in the promises of Jehovah, through Christ; quickened by the guidance and direction from the Temple and stimulated by the knowledge that we are not alone, but a small unit in the greater army of the Lord, sharing in singing the New Song, that song which will continue to increase in volume, despite all that would still it, until its sound is itself lost in the final witness of God Himself in the Armageddon conflict, and the triumph of righteousness.”

Said the pastor: “Friends, this person who has died is now with the Lord in heaven.” The polygamist friend got up and said: “You do not speak the truth. That person is in the grave, and when Armageddon comes that is where we will all go, and stay too, if we fail to stand for Jehovah’s kingdom.”

The beginning of Christ’s righteous administration means that the nations of the world have reached “the time of the end”. That time began with the incoming of the day of Jehovah in 1914, and the final end there- of will come at Armageddon.

Since the great “Assyrian” shall fail in his destructive program and since the “remnant” of Jehovah’s Kingdom heirs are the principal target of the “Assyrian”, Jehovah by his Good Shepherd will preserve the remnant of his “little flock” through the battle of Armageddon. They shall see the terrific destruction of the Assyrian forces down to the last creature thereof. This preservation is not that the remnant of spirit-begotten children of God may live on earth during the whole thousand-year reign of Christ that shall follow. Their stay after Armageddon is merely for a brief time, serving as a vindication of God’s promise and almighty power to preserve the faithful in their direst extremity.

Jehovah’s witnesses today are not under such restriction, but in view of the serious conditions now with us and which bespeak more terrible things shortly to come they do well to consider their course, whether it be well for them to follow Jeremiah’s course under like conditions in behalf of a full part in Jehovah’s “strange work” that ends at Armageddon.

To ‘rightly divide the word of truth’ and properly apply it one must see and appreciate that Jehovah is God and that his name is above all others; that Christ Jesus is His great Vindicator and is now at the temple conducting judgment for the vindication of Jehovah’s name; that those of the temple constitute his “faithful and wise servant”, to whom the Lord has committed the work of delivering his message of the Kingdom; and that by the preaching of this gospel Jehovah through Christ Jesus is gathering to himself his “other sheep”, and that this work must be done be- fore the wrath of God breaks upon the enemy organization in the battle of Armageddon.

Therefore the faithful Christian whose hope is in the new world, wherein dwelleth righteousness, cannot rejoice with this doomed and dying world.

This figure, therefore, denotes yet a great ingathering of active witnesses for the Kingdom, who shall in the short time remaining before Armageddon fly with the speed of doves to the entrance that Jehovah has provided to the refuge of safety.

The downpour of frozen destruction is yet due at Armageddon. Immediately after Jehovah sends his em- phatic warning out of the north and troubles the totalitarian-world combine (Dan. 11:44), then “Christendom’s” religionists will say, as long foretold: “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.” (Jer. 8:20)

At Armageddon Jehovah God will make manifest his mighty “right hand”, to wit, Christ Jesus, his Executive Officer. Religionists refuse to believe the record of the exercise of God’s hand and might as set forth in the Bible; but at Armageddon He will repeat those acts on a vaster scale and thereby make the scoffers know His hand and power.
