The Branch servant served a small company of five publishers in the country in May. There were so many people of good-will in the territory that with just two hand-printed signs telling of the talk that evening with the company, which were put up on the neighborhood stores, plus advertising by word of mouth during the day in the service, 100 persons attended and paid rapt attention as to who will survive Armageddon and how. Pioneers report splendid success in the public meetings.

1946 Equipped for Every Good Work

JEHOVAH GOD is a Worker perfectly equipped for any undertaking, whether it be building an atom or a universe. He now oversees a strange work in the earth, a work whereby Bible truth exposes religious lies. It is the glorious work of announcing God’s established Kingdom and its early march against Satan and his organization in the destructive cataclysm of Armageddon.

Equipped for Every Good Work. 1946. p. 7

The Armageddon fight, foreshadowed by this battle at Gibeon, will witness acts of Jehovah on a far grander scale, which will convince, at the cost of their lives, those that scoff at Jehovah’s power to work miracles.

1946 Let God Be True

The means by which his name will be proved to be holy and deserving to be hallowed is his kingdom by his Messiah, which will shortly fight the final war of Armageddon against all His enemies.

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 31

Why has this Almighty God permitted his chief adversary and all that wicked one’s servants to live and carry on their wickedness down till the final battle of Armageddon?

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 32

16. Why has Almighty God permitted the great adversary and his wicked agents to operate down till Armageddon?

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 32

Clearly, therefore, Satan goes there for the first time at the battle of Armageddon to meet the dead, and hell corresponds with the abyss where he is bound then for a thousand years. -Revelation 20:1-3, 7.

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 74

A few of such princely representatives are mentioned in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews. Also the “great multitude” of Armageddon survivors will continue to “serve him day and night”. (Revelation 7:9-17)

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 123

Christians will therefore continue to pray that God’s “will be done on earth, as it is in heaven”; they will continually pray for that kingdom to come in all its destructive fury against Satan’s remaining forces at Armageddon.

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 126

At the coming battle of Armageddon it will smite full-force against the entire organization of Satan the Devil and destroy all its parts, high and low, visible and invisible, as foretold by the prophet Daniel: “And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.” (Daniel 2:44)

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 128, 129

Whether an image be of wood, or stone, or an organization of men, or any other form; whether the worship or praise be direct or “relative”, such image-worship runs counter to God’s law and will merit final destruction from him at Armageddon.

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 140

Now, just prior to Armageddon, faithful servants of the Lord are going from city to city and extending a gracious invitation to all who will hear.

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 153

Would you be among these “many people” who “seek the LORD of hosts” and who then, as pictured by Noah and his family, survive Armageddon’s storm to offer up ‘sweet-savoured’ prayers to Jehovah throughout eternity?

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 153

And now the battle of Armageddon is near and Christ’s reign of 1,000 years will begin immediately thereafter, during which time the redeemed humankind will be given the privilege of entering into God’s rest.

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 166

Such 1,000-year reign of Jesus Christ, as foretold at Revelation 20:1-6, begins after Satan is bound; in other words, after Armageddon, which battle all signs indicate will begin inside our generation.-Revelation 16:14-16.

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 167

Jesus’ words do not say that the Mosaic law could-not be abolished before such Satanic “heavens and earth” are destroyed at Armageddon.

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 172

Noah was a preacher of righteousness before the deluge then, and Jehovah’s witnesses are such now, before the coming destruction of this world at Armageddon.

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 190

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 194

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 211

They have been promised life everlasting upon earth, including the privilege of subduing, beautifying and populating the earth, if they, as Jehovah’s witnesses, prove their faithfulness to him before his battle at Armageddon. Jonadabs are Jehovah’s witnesses, even though they are not of the remnant of the “body of Christ”, just as faithful men and women were His witnesses before the “body of Christ” began to be made up by Almighty God with Christ Jesus as its Head. (Hebrews, chapter 11; and 12:1)

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 223

22, 23. (a) To what extent, before Armageddon, is material provision promised and given by Almighty God to one who covenants to serve Him? (b) What are some satisfactions and benefits shared by one who faithfully serves Jehovah?

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 224

Other benefits are the joys of ‘hunting’ for the Lord’s lost sheep and ‘fishing’ for his men of good-will; bringing such persons up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord until they have reached the full stature of a witness of Jehovah; also, the mental satisfaction of being free from the fears, pleasures and burdens of the present evil world that Almighty God will destroy at Armageddon; also the knowledge that one is following the pathway of truthfulness and righteousness which leads to everlasting life.

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 224, 225

By the power of Almighty God in the hand of Christ Jesus the dead who did not die in wickedness will be resurrected, upon earth, and given a chance to prove their faithfulness to Jehovah in His kingdom, following Armageddon.

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 225

Man is merely a pawn in the hands of the mighty spirit demon, Satan, who is now grouping his forces for Armageddon. Armageddon? World conflicts have often been incorrectly labeled as Armageddon. Armageddon will be no mere conflict between capitalism and Communism, as some fear.

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 253

17. How do many view Armageddon? and what is it Scripturally?

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 253

The battle of Armageddon will be Jehovah’s fight in which all wickedness will be swept from the universe, and is otherwise called “the battle of that great day of God Almighty”. (Revelation 16:14-16)

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 254

Who will be able to oppose such power? Modern science with its newly found “force of the universe” will pale into nothingness as compared with the mighty forces unleashed by Jehovah and his King in the final war of Armageddon.

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 254

Zealously they preach of Armageddon’s approach, and the Kingdom blessings to follow. Continuing faithful till Armageddon, the “other sheep” who seek meekness and righteousness, like the flood survivors of Noah’s day, shall be hid in the antitypical ark, God’s organization, and come through into an earth cleansed of evil. (Zephaniah 2:1-3 ; Isaiah 26:20; Matthew 25:31-40)

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 260, 261

Then, from the east and west and all directions shall come the worshipful survivors of Armageddon, to enjoy delightful companionship with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the other prince-children. (Matthew 8:11; Luke 13:29)

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 261

And it is this united worship of their Creator that binds together unbreakably the post-Armageddon occupants of the earth.-Isaiah 66:23; Zechariah 14:16.

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 262

The re-issuance of the divine mandate following the flood was, therefore, but a small-scale pattern of the real fulfillment by those whom the sons and daughters-in-law of Noah pictured, namely, the “great multitude” of Armageddon survivors. (1 Corinthians 10:11) In the purified earth, free from evil Satanic influence, and with the sin-canceling merit of Christ’s sacrifice operating toward them, the survivors of Armageddon, under the direction of the King and his princes, will marry and bring forth children in righteousness, to the glory of God. (Proverbs 28: 28)

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 265

It would appear that they will be brought forth early after the battle of Armageddon is past.

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 277

The execution of judgment against those nations takes place at the battle of Armageddon, where he will “fill the places with the dead bodies” and will wound their invisible head, Satan the Devil, binding him for a thousand years.

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 285

The Scriptures clearly show that in that New World there will be not only people who survived Armageddon and were living at the time of the New World’s establishment and who could accept its terms, but also many who had died and entered their graves prior to its establishment.

Let God Be True. 1946. 1946. p. 286

Those goatlike persons who show no appreciation of God’s kingdom but who reject the Kingdom message and its bearers and show them no help and kindness will be destroyed in the coming battle of Armageddon.

Let God Be True. 1946. p. 288
