The Scriptures show us that Christ has come the second time, invisibly, and when Jesus gave the Revelation to John he pointed out that he, Christ Jesus, was to come also as a thief just be- fore the battle of God Almighty, known as Armageddon.

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  p. 7

True followers of Christ Jesus-and Jehovah’s witnesses prove to be such-are still preaching the good news of God’s kingdom as the only hope for mankind and they believe it with all their heart, mind, soul and strength, and they are on the watch as to the time when God’s established kingdom with all its powerful heavenly force will strike at Armageddon.

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  p. 9, 10

Being awake, taking care of one’s responsibilities and preaching the good news right up to the complete end at the battle of Armageddon is an essential thing for a Christian. The December 15, 1958, issue of The Watchtower gives the reader a clear and detailed explanation of this text and shows without question that it is just prior to the battle of Armageddon when this scripture has its fulfillment.

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  p. 11, 12

Being on guard as a Christian at God’s spiritual temple and staying awake there will mean, too, that you will hold your approved position before the Son of man. He will preserve you alive through the battle of Armageddon, which destroys this present evil world, into God’s new world of righteousness.

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  p. 16

Jesus tells us that it would be very similar in our day just before the battle of Armageddon to what it was in Noah’s day: “For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be.

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  p. 17

This great crowd now numbering well over 770,000 ministers of the Kingdom are not being weighed down by overeating and heavy drinking and the anxieties of this life. They are alerted to the fact that Christ Jesus will come at Armageddon as a thief, suddenly, instantly, and that when this destruction comes to the earth it will affect all those dwelling upon the face of the earth.

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  p. 19

Today nothing stops a real Christian from carrying out that responsibility, not even death itself. Even in these last days, when Christians see the gathering together of the great armies of the earth to the battle of Armageddon, they are not fearful, but they stay on the watch, looking after the things that Jehovah God has put in their care.

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  p. 21

No matter where anyone lives throughout the world, if he is going to remain a Christian and stay on the watch and be found faithful when Christ Jesus comes at Armageddon as a thief, then he must be paying constant attention to him- self and to what he is teaching.

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  p. 25

So right up until the very end, to the finish of the battle of Armageddon, Jehovah’s witnesses will continue to be on the watch, staying awake, keeping their ministerial outer garments. They will stay at their assignment declaring the good news of God’s kingdom.

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  p. 25

It strongly asserted their determination to serve and preach God’s kingdom in love, peace and unity and without letup, like our faithful brothers behind the Iron Curtain, until Jehovah himself brings the witness work to a world-smashing finale by his own act of testimony at Armageddon.

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  p. 42

By his heavenly kingdom, which Jehovah God gave to the once “lowliest of men,” Jesus Christ, in 1914, the God of heaven will have his will come to pass in the coming battle of Armageddon and also afterward in the endless new world.

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  p. 44

This unavoidably denotes that the end of this political, commercial, religious world is near. No vacuum will follow its complete end at Armageddon, for God’s everlasting new world of righteousness will glorify heaven and earth after Armageddon, and forever His will shall be done on earth in a paradise state as it is done in the holy heavens above.

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  p. 45

To Witnesses, the words of the Bible are not to be tampered with. They regard them as exact, true and prophetic. Certain Biblical texts, they insist, predict in the not too distant future the end of the world, preceded by the battle of Armageddon, or the final conflict between good and evil.

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  p. 76

One never knows what will happen, but we can feel sure of this, that before the battle of Armageddon those who love truth and righteousness will be gathered together into Jehovah’s organization.

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  p. 85

It is marvelous to see how the work has continued to expand. So behind all the Iron Curtain there has been a steady increase, a wonderful ingathering, and it appears absolutely certain that before the battle of Armageddon strikes the witnesses of God in these lands will be wide awake, and just as the yeartext says for our 1959 meditation: “Happy is the one that stays awake and keeps his outer garments, that he may not walk naked and people look upon his parts of shame.” (Rev. 16:15)

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  p. 134

Certainly they will have nothing to be ashamed of when Jehovah God strikes against the king of the north and brings him low at Armageddon.

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  p. 134

She writes of this experience: “I used to read of the condition of Christendom in The Watchtower but now I saw it with my own eyes. One professor tried to argue that Satan was destroyed long ago and that all the book of Revelation was past history. He tried to make out that only the sting of sin and the poison of it now remained. Another professor was courteous but became quite embarrassed when I talked to him about Armageddon and the new world.”

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  p. 180

They want to have their ministerial garments on when Christ Jesus makes his inspection at the time Armageddon breaks out and the only way to be sure of that is to be busy constantly at their assigned duties.

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  p. 273

Peter emphasized this point when he said: “Since you are awaiting these things, do your utmost to be found finally by him spotless and unblemished and in peace…. be on your guard that you may not be led away with them by the error of the law-defying people and fall from your own steadfastness.” (2 Pet. 3:14, 17) How necessary, then, it must be for each one to be on guard and awake prior to the battle of Armageddon!

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  p. 281

In a recent letter from Poland the brother in charge of the work said: “After those in prominent positions were released from prison and again had freedom they informed the brothers that now while the pressure has been relaxed and the work can go on, why not everyone get at it as though Armageddon was going to come tomorrow?”

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  p. 287

Let all of Jehovah’s witnesses grow to maturity, individually looking at themselves, ‘because of what benefit will it be to a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul’? He will help others too, because a real Christian does not want to drift back to the old world and die with it at Armageddon.

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  p. 288

They have seen Jehovah s rich blessing upon them and now just before the final battle of Armageddon they certainly do not want to be caught napping or in a sleepy condition.

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  p. 291

This is no time for loose talk, filthy words, drunkenness, overeating and looking after the anxieties of this world and being absorbed in its hustle and bustle to the point of being blind to the great privileges of service that Jehovah has granted them in these days prior to the battle of Armageddon.

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  p. 291

All those in the New World society want to welcome Christ Jesus at his coming at Armageddon to strike against the whole of the Devil’s organization and bring in the cleansed new earth, for they know that those who are asleep are going to have their garments removed and burned and then they will walk naked and people will look upon their parts of shame.

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  p. 291

The nations are now on judgment and the clergy of Christendom stand before Jehovah as the most reprehensible, and at Armageddon he will give his judicial attention to them first.

Since the close of World War I in 1918, the Gentile nations, led by the god of this world, Satan, have been on the march to Armageddon for their final, showdown fight against God’s kingdom. How much longer will the march go on before Armageddon begins? This generation of humankind is nearing its normal end. Jesus prophesied that this generation, which saw the Gentile times end and the beginning of world sorrows, would also see the end of those sorrows in the world’s destruction at Armageddon. (Matt. 24: 34)

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  February 10

These children of God were expecting that World War I would worsen into world revolution and world revolution would turn into world anarchy that would spell Armageddon for all nations. But had that proved true, and had God unleashed the foretold battle of Armageddon at that time, these spiritual brothers of the Greater Isaiah under their spiritual bondage to the worldly nations might have been destroyed with the nations.

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  April 13

Foreseeing the deadly plague ingratitude sweeping the earth m these critical last days before Armageddon, God inspired Paul to warn of it 1,900 years ago, that men of appreciation might survive the end of a world without gratitude.

1959 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  1958.  May 27

The time is now here when integrity keepers stand upon a level place, an open plain, where there is no more fear of stumbling and where true worship can be carried on. So in real happiness with all of God’s people we can say the words quoted above, as did David. In this frame of mind we look forward to Armageddon and the complete establishment of God’s new world of righteousness.

Falling asleep at one’s post as a minister of Jehovah puts the sleeper in danger of being caught by the Chief Temple Inspector, Christ, who comes as a thief at Armageddon and makes his final inspection of all the religious realm that professes to be Christian, and then executes finally the judgment.
