That such destructive work will be by Jehovah’s invisible forces at the battle of Armageddon and is to be followed by the complete establishment of a government to be ruled over by Christ Jesus known as The Theocracy, which will remain forever in the earth to bring peace, prosperity, happiness, and everlasting life unto all persons who willingly obey all the commands of Jehovah God.

The power of the Lord at Armageddon, exercised against God’s enemies, will put an everlasting end to the “Axis powers” and to all similar powers of wickedness.
Comfort All That Mourn. 1941. p. 21, 22
Those who hear and flee to THE THEOCRACY and seek righteousness and meekness have Jehovah’s promise that they may be hid from the terrible storm of Armageddon and be safely carried over, even as Noah and his family were carried over the flood.
Comfort All That Mourn. 1941. p. 28
The transition period is now here, evidenced by the world trouble, and which soon shall end with Armageddon, “the battle of that great day of God Almighty.”
Comfort All That Mourn. 1941. p. 30
That flood was a type or prophetic picture showing what God’s purpose is concerning the wicked and that he will destroy all such at Armageddon, “the battle of that great day of God Almighty,” and these truths he has made clear to those who love him and who are now on the earth.-1 Corinthians 10:11; Romans 15:4; Revelation 16:13-16; 2 Peter 3:6-12
Children. 1941. p. 66, 67
For centuries Satan has exercised ruling power over the world without hindrance. In 1914 Christ Jesus was enthroned by Jehovah. That marks the end of the uninterrupted rule of Satan, which is to be followed soon by Armageddon.
Children. 1941. p. 85
This prophecy of Jesus began to be fulfilled in the year 1914, at the beginning of the World War, and that sorrow and distress, with increasing power and fury, is yet upon the earth and must continue until the final climax at Armageddon, which is “the battle of that great day of God Almighty” against Satan and all his forces.
Children. 1941. p. 150
All the facts show that the woes beginning in 1914 have continued to increase upon the earth, and at the present time the distress and woes are greater than ever before known, and this indicates that Armageddon is very near.-Revelation 16:13-16.

The term “the end of the world” means the end of Satan’s uninterrupted reign or rule, and which time began in 1914 and which will be completed at Armageddon, the battle of the great day of God Almighty.
Children. 1941. p. 157
The “avenger of blood” is the Lord, Christ Jesus, the official Executioner of Jehovah, who at Armageddon will execute all willful wrongdoers.
Children. 1941. p. 199
It is at the battle of Armageddon that the official execution by Christ Jesus takes place upon the wicked, but those who have found refuge under the Lord’s organization are promised protection. All such are included in those called the Lord’s “other sheep”, which he is now gathering.
Children. 1941. p. 199
In this prophetic drama Jonadab pictured those persons of good-will toward the Lord who put themselves under the organization pictured by the chariot of God, and who continue on the Lord’s side, become companions of the faithful remnant, and thus work with the remnant until Armageddon.

Children. 1941. p. 206, 207
This witness work must be done before Jehovah shows to the enemy his great power, which he will do at Armageddon. Causing his name and his kingdom to be proclaimed throughout the earth, Jehovah thus gives warning to the enemy and at the same time extends his mercy toward those practitioners of religion who have been and are deceived and held as prisoners in the religious organizations, and who unwittingly have walked with religionists.
Children. 1941. p. 208
“‘When must one call upon the name of Jehovah, THAT DELIVERANCE MAY BE HAD? NOT AFTER THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON BEGINS, at which time all may discern by the natural sight of the eyes the expression of God’s vengeance against wickedness.
Children. 1941. p. 209
He must call upon the name of Jehovah before the battle of Armageddon begins; and this he must do by hearing, believing and acting upon the information of truth brought to him by those who are witnesses for Jehovah, and particularly upon whom God has placed his spirit.
Children. 1941. p. 210
All persons of good-will who flee to the mountains as commanded, and faithfully abide there under the protection of Christ until the end of Armageddon, will be delivered and will form the “great multitude”.

It is these faithful servants of Almighty God and Christ who must fulfill the command and purpose of Jehovah God to ‘declare his name in all the earth’ just preceding the battle of Armageddon, at which time and place God will exhibit his supreme power against the Devil and all wickedness. -Exodus 9:16.
Children. 1941. p. 229

Children. 1941. p. 237
The foregoing texts show that it immediately precedes God’s “strange act”, which “strange act” is the expression of his wrath at the battle of Armageddon, which is “the battle of that great day of God Almighty” and which shall completely wreck Satan’s organization.
Children. 1941. p. 237

Children. 1941. p. 254
“What is Armageddon?
Children. 1941. p. 254
Only persons of good-will, who flee to the Lord before Armageddon is fought and who remain faithful and obedient under Christ, shall survive, and these shall be the ones that will form the ‘great multitude’.
Children. 1941. p. 254
Armageddon will be the worst tribulation the world will ever have known. (Matthew 24:21)
Children. 1941. p. 255
After Armageddon the faithful “other sheep”, who will form the “great multitude”, will come forth from their place where God has hidden and protected them, and they shall be advanced to a place under the capital organization and given a service of great importance in the favor of the Lord.
Children. 1941. p. 282
Likewise all in Christ Jesus are granted safety during the antitypical deluge, that is, Armageddon.
Children. 1941. p. 294
The members of Noah’s family, therefore, foreshadowed or pictured the “other sheep” of the Lord, who are gathered unto him and who find protection from the devastation of “the battle of that great day of God Almighty”, called “Armageddon”.
Children. 1941. p. 294, 295
The great deluge of waters that fell upon the earth as soon as the eight persons were safely in the ark pictured the battle of Armageddon, which shall begin its destructive work when all the “other sheep” of the Lord are gathered under the protection of the Lord’s organization. This is strong proof that only those who are in Christ and those who are of the “other sheep” of the Lord, together with the “princes”, shall survive Armageddon.
Children. 1941. p. 295
It follows, therefore, that all those who survive Armageddon must be counted righteous in the sight of God.
Children. 1941. p. 295
That appears clearly to refer to the rest and comfort that will come to the survivors at the end of the battle of Armageddon; and this shows that the sacrifice offered by Noah was a part of the prophetic picture.
Children. 1941. p. 296
This also was a part of the prophetic picture foretelling that immediately following the battle of Armageddon all the survivors will be righteous in the sight of God.
Children. 1941. p. 296
These “other sheep”, that will form the “great multitude”, must be gathered unto the Lord and hidden in the antitypical ark, that is to say, under the protection of the Lord’s organization, and must there abide in safety until the wrath of God be passed, which wrath is expressed at Armageddon.
Children. 1941. p. 302
The survivors of Armageddon will be made righteous.
Children. 1941. p. 304
They pictured the “great multitude”, and hence that part of the prophecy must be fulfilled by the “great multitude” after Armageddon.
Children. 1941. p. 305
Nor could his “other sheep” qualify to carry out the divine mandate until after such have been put to the test and approved and made righteous, and receive the full benefit of the ransom sacrifice; and this could not be fully accomplished until after Armageddon.
Children. 1941. p. 306
The “other sheep” of the Lord, in obedience to God’s commandment, now seek righteousness, and they flee to God’s organization for protection; and they must flee and take their position on the side of the Lord before Armageddon, and there find refuge, and, doing so? they are now permitted to see and to enjoy the light of God’s Word now revealed concerning them.
Children. 1941. p. 307
Until the members of the royal priesthood are complete the “other sheep” find refuge in the antitypical city of refuge, that is, under the organization of Christ Jesus, and must there remain and work in harmony with the Lord’s organization. They must remain in that condition until Armageddon has ended.
Children. 1941. p. 309
The “other sheep”, having proved their faith and obedience and maintained their integrity toward God prior to and during Armageddon, thereafter receive the full benefit of the ransom sacrifice and are justified and are granted life everlasting with the right to life on earth forever thereafter.
Children. 1941. p. 309
The great and crucial time comes at the battle of Armageddon, and if those “other sheep” have obeyed the Lord’s commandment to seek righteousness and meekness they have the promise of being hidden and protected by the Lord through that flood of fire.-Zephaniah 2:2-4.
As the sons of Noah were carried through the flood in the ark, even so the “other sheep” of the Lord are carried through the fiery flood of Armageddon in the antitypical ark, that is, Christ’s organization.
Children. 1941. p. 310
It therefore clearly appears from the Scriptures that the time when the divine mandate begins to be carried out is after Armageddon, when the earth has been cleansed of wickedness.
Children. 1941. p. 310
This mandate was given to righteous man and woman in Eden, and even so the mandate must be carried out by righteous men and women on the earth after Armageddon and who have received righteousness and the right to life from God, by Christ Jesus. (Romans 6:23; John 17:3) From Eden to Armageddon it was not possible for the divine mandate to be carried out, for the reason that no righteous human creatures appeared on the earth qualified to carry it out. The divine mandate is unto life everlasting to righteous human creatures on the earth. After Armageddon only righteous human creatures will be on the earth.
Children. 1941. p. 311
Should men and women, both of whom are Jonadabs or “other sheep” of the Lord, now marry before Armageddon and bring forth children? They may choose to do so, but the admonition or advice of the Scriptures appears to be against it. Being married before Armageddon and both continuing faithful and surviving Armageddon, their marital relationship shall continue and persist after Armageddon. They receive their right to life everlasting after Armageddon, and after receiving that right to life their children then born would be born in righteousness. Children born before Armageddon of parents who had not received the right to life would not be born with the right to life, but would have the privilege of choosing to serve God and Christ and live if they prove their integrity.
Children. 1941. p. 312
That would appear to indicate it would be proper that those who will form the “great multitude” should wait until after Armageddon to bring children into the world.
It is only a few years from the time the “other sheep” are gathered to the Lord until Armageddon.
Children. 1941. p. 313
That would seem to mean that those who would have infants during Armageddon would suffer much greater woe because of their care of the same.
Children. 1941. p. 313
If they remain true and faithful to the Lord amidst such great persecution and opposition they may be fully assured that the Lord will shield and protect them and give them his great blessing through Armageddon and take them over into the new world to serve with joy forever. The Lord never forgets or forsakes those who are faithful to him.
Children. 1941. p. 315
The “other sheep” of the Lord, which are now being gathered by the Lord and which shall after Armageddon form the “great multitude”, shall be of the general flock of the Lord, therefore of the general organization of the Lord, and must be righteous and in full accord with the Lord.
Children. 1941. p. 318
Those who are saved and brought through the great tribulation of Armageddon will be so favored, not because of their own merit, but because Jehovah’s name is involved, and they will be saved “for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.”-Psalm 106:8.
Children. 1941. p. 325, 326
The people so taken out from the world for the name of Jehovah are the ones who become Jehovah’s witnesses to declare his purpose and to make known his name throughout the earth immediately preceding the time when God shows his power against the organization of Satan, which he will do at Armageddon.
Children. 1941. p. 327
It is the people of good-will toward God who hear the message, and who give heed thereto, and who flee to the Lord for refuge and protection, which they see they must do before the expression of God’s wrath at Armageddon. These people of good-will are the “other sheep ” of the Lord, who from that time onward until Armageddon faithfully do the will of God and who, doing so, shall in due time become the “great multitude”.
Children. 1941. p. 327, 328
All persons of good-will toward God will now turn away from religion and flee to the kingdom under Christ, and this they will do and must do before Armageddon if they will be saved. Each one must choose for himself.
Children. 1941. p. 336
In the near future the wrath of Almighty God against all wickedness will be expressed at Armageddon in the most devastating tribulation the world will ever have known. (Matthew 24:21)
Children. 1941. p. 336
The nations called “Christendom” now bitterly persecute the servants of Almighty God who declare his name and his kingdom, and these have forgotten that God has builded his own organization for his honor and vindication of his great name and that he has declared that he will avenge his people at Armageddon against those who have persecuted his servants.-Luke 18:7,8.
Children. 1941. p. 339
Continuing faithful and maintaining their integrity, they will be carried through Armageddon in the anti-typical ark, Christ Jesus, and will form the “great multitude” that shall receive life everlasting on the earth and carry out Jehovah’s purposes concerning them. That “great multitude” will be a vindication of Jehovah’s name.
Children. 1941. p. 343
Those who will form the “great multitude” cannot wait until after Armageddon to “seek righteousness”, but all persons who will form that “great multitude” must begin now and continuously seek righteousness and do that which is right as they learn it.
Children. 1941. p. 355
The King is now gathering to himself those who will form the “great multitude”, and such will be commissioned to fill the earth, and such persons must learn righteousness before Armageddon.
Children. 1941. p. 355, 356
Hence the wicked, cleared out at Armageddon, will not come back, and that will be true with reference to the wicked in all times past.
Children. 1941. p. 361
