These are the ones who have the assurance that, at the destruction of antitypical Jerusalem (Christendom) in the battle of Armageddon, they will be spared from the slaughter weapons of Jehovah’s executional officer, Christ Jesus, with all the holy angels with him. Hence they will survive that battle alive and enter without dying into the new world of righteousness which will follow Armageddon.

Today, in the face of the destruction of Christendom and the terrific slaughter there in the battle of Armageddon, those of good-will who continue faithful as the Ebed-melech class may take this comforting promise of Jehovah to themselves, in hope of serval of the battle of Armageddon and of entry into the glorious new world of righteousness created by Jehovah’s hands.

So, for Christians in this postwar world and with the battle of Armageddon in the offing, it is a choice of taking a good course by getting married but keeping his virgin state with all its vital strength.
The Watchtower Announcing Jehovah’s Kingdom. February 1, 1947 p. 44
Since death dissolves the marriage contract between mates, the battle of Armageddon will not break up the marriage contract of consecrated married persons who survive that battle and enter into life on earth in the righteous new world created by Almighty God’s power. Armageddon will not dissolve their marital ties and instantaneously stop their domestic living conjugally together. In the case of marriage to an unconsecrated unbeliever, the fact that the unbelieving husband or wife is sanctified by the consecrated believing mate does not mean that such unbeliever will be protected and preserved alive through Armageddon to continue thereafter in wedlock with the believing mate. But as for consecrated Christian couples whom God preserves through Armageddon and into the righteous new world, this magazine, The Watchtower, has never in all the sixty-eight years of its history taught or maintained that immediately after Armageddon and at the beginning of the 1000-year reign of Jesus Christ over the earth all marriage will stop and all further childbearing will at once cease.-For proof of this see the important footnote below.

Looking back to the Bible record for something typical to foreshadow matters immediately after Armageddon and at the beginning of the new world, we note that Jehovah God did not dissolve the marriages of Noah and his three sons after the flood, but blessed Noah’s sons with children in the post-flood world and typically filled the earth with them, as a token of what will be true of the earth in the new world. (Gen. 9:1-7; 10:1-32)
The Watchtower Announcing Jehovah’s Kingdom. February 1, 1947 p. 46
This reliably foreshadows what will be the proprieties in the post-Armageddon new world of righteousness: the present approved Christian standard of a man’s having hut one wife will be carried over through Armageddon into that new world by the survivors of that “battle of the great day of God Almighty”.

The fact that the Vatican is one of the wealthiest religio-commercial organizations on earth today does not say that it possesses the faith that brings the true and enduring riches, for the Vatican’s material riches and earthly splendor and its religious traditions will disappear at the battle of Armageddon amid the howling and weeping of its wealth-gathering, richly-clad hierarchy and priests.

In the light of this prophecy we can now understand what is today taking place, namely, the gathering of the Lord’s “other sheep” to his side, who, if continuing faithful until the final war of Armageddon is fought and ended, will inherit eternal life with the victors in the new world. Hence they now seek Jehovah so as to find protection and salvation.

They must not try to shield them, nor have any sympathy for them as against the executing of God’s vengeance upon them at the coming battle of Armageddon.

The modern-day significance of the ancient “cities of refuge” in Israel has come to be understood since the Lord’s coming to the temple A.D. 1918, and more particularly so since the August, 1934, issues of The Watchtower.

With the battle of the universe, namely, Armageddon, drawing closer, the question of salvation becomes most pertinent. To those desiring to survive that final war into a new world of God’s creation the wise man long ago said: “A prudent man forseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.” (Proverbs 22:3; 27:12) The Lord God himself, who fully foreknows what an appalling evil Armageddon will be to this world, says in advance to all the prudent persons: “Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

Such persons, despite their outward professions of aiming to serve the people, are in reality the servants of this demon-controlled world and are the ones joining in leading this world down to its destruction at Armageddon. (Rev. 16:14-16)
The Watchtower Announcing Jehovah’s Kingdom. August 15, 1947 p. 244
A sensible question for men to ask in these days immediately preceding the universal war of Armageddon is, Did the lauding and glorifying of such political, commercial, military and religious elements her lead the people to life, lasting peace and prosperity?

Jehovah’s witnesses of these days when Armageddon draws near may confidently follow the same rule. Doing so, they will not hole up behind walls but will daily march forth calling upon Jehovah by singing his praises publicly and to the people in their homes.

Today the Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society, and the witnesses of Jehovah who are associated with it, are dedicated to the marking work as being God’s commanded work for these days before Armageddon.
