The people on earth who survive the great battle of Armageddon must be convinced in God’s own way that it is a manifestation of His power and the time of the presence of His King, whom He has placed upon His throne as world ruler.

On the contrary, He said that the world would see Him no more. But at Armageddon He causes His glory and power to be manifested by some ocular demonstration to all the people.

Should men and women, both of whom are Jonadabs or “other sheep” of the Lord, now marry before Armageddon and bring forth children?

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.

MANY are the readers of Consolation who have loved ones in Europe, and who fain would be comforted by some good news from there, but the good news in the earth today is to be found only in the Message of Jehovah’s Kingdom, and the certainty that evil conditions now everywhere prevalent, and growing worse, will continue but a relatively short time, until THE THEOCRACY shall speak at Armageddon and earth’s sorrows will he over in one final spasm, the execution of justice by Jehovah’s Field Marshal, Christ Jesus.

That is the time of which Jesus spoke when He said (and this applies to those who shall survive the battle of Armageddon as Noah and his family survived the Flood): “If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.” (John 8:51) “Whosoever liveth, and believeth in me, shall never die.” (John 11:26) Then God will grant perfection of body and mind to all the obedient ones on the earth until the earth is filled with a happy, joyful and vigorous people.

“Christendom” holds out absolutely no hope for the betterment of the peoples.

The affairs of the earth then will be under the complete control of the Messiah, God’s Anointed King over His Theocracy; and the faithful men of old, from Able to John the Baptist, will be resurrected from the dead as perfect creatures and will act as the representatives on earth of that Theocratic Government. (Hebrews 1:1-40) The Scriptural evidence also abundantly shows that those faithful men will be back on the earth at the beginning of the final battle of Armageddon. Form the Scriptures it appears absolutely certain that some of the faithful “remnant” of Jehovah’s anointed witnesses will yet he on the earth when those faithful men appear, and certainly those persons of good-will toward God and who shall com- pose the “great multitude” of Armageddon survivors will also be on the earth, and all of these will meet and greet earth’s new “princes”.
Consolation. November 26, 1941 p. 17
This may indicate that the “man of sin” class, just before their complete destruction at Armageddon, will realize not only that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are in the realm of the Kingdom but that those composing the religious “man of sin” have no show whatsoever of being of the Kingdom, and then they will be filled with remorse.

Other scriptures show that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and all the faithful prophets, resurrected from the dead, will be on earth immediately preceding Armageddon, and the people of good-will who shall form the “great multitude” foretold at Revelation 7:9-17 will be literally associated with those “princes in all the earth”.

A quarter of a century ago Theodore Roosevelt said, “We stand at Armageddon and battle for the Lord.” He was quite mistaken.
