There is no doubt that the impeding battle of Armageddon will make tremendous changes in the earth’s surface, but whether the plasticity of the earth’s crust will be rendered stable or not the Bible does not disclose. However, from the fact that soil plasticity can be expressed in well-defined mathematical formulae, and conforms to the same physical principles governing the entire universe, it is possible that this phenomenon will continue and that information gained now in a study of solid mechanics can well be used in post-Armageddon reconstruction.-Contributed.

These points were threshed out in the lower courts, but when ·the case reached the Supreme Court the Department of Justice injected an entirely new issue into the case, speculating that the claim was denied because Jehovah’s witnesses believe in theocratic war, and hence they are not opposed to war in any form. By theocratic war the Witnesses mean the wars that Israel long ago fought at Jehovah’s direction, or wars that Jehovah’s invisible hosts fight, such as the impending war of Armageddon. Covington hit this maneuver hard in his reply brief and in oral argument before the court, and actually the door was opened to give a broad and sweeping witness concerning Jehovah and Christ and the impending battle of Armageddon.

Awake! June 22, 1955 p. 4
And although the Jehovah’s witnesses may fight in the Armageddon, we are not able to stretch our imagination the point of believing that the yardstick of the Congress includes within its measure such spiritual wars between the power of good and evil where the Jehovah’s witnesses, if they participate will do so without carnal weapons. We believe that Congress had in mind real shooting wars when it referred to participation in war in any form-actual military conflicts between nations of the earth in our time-wars with bombs and bullets, tanks, planes and rockets.
