1934 His Works

Just before destroying Satan’s organization and his power Jehovah God sends his faithful and true witnesses throughout the land to call the attention of the people to the fact that Jehovah is the Almighty God and that his Word is true; and this he does in order to afford the people an opportunity to know him and to take their stand on his side and thus to be in a position to be spared in the great destruction that shall come upon the world at Armageddon. All people must come to know that Jehovah is the Creator of heaven and earth and the Giver of all blessings. This knowledge is essential in order for them to have an opportunity for life everlasting. Jehovah God’s kingdom under Christ is now here, and immediately following Armageddon the restoration of mankind to human perfection will begin and the obedient ones will be brought back to the state of perfection originally enjoyed by the man whom God created perfect.

Satan knows that his time is short before the great battle of Armageddon, and hence he is desperately attempting to turn all men into darkness and from God. Never in the history of the world was there a time of greater darkness than now, because there are so many who claim to teach the Bible but who teach exactly contrary thereto.

Simeon had to die and wait for his inheritance, wait for the Kingdom promised, but the Jonadabs are already under the Kingdom, and have only to be true and faithful and they shall pass through the fires of Armageddon unscathed and go over into the age of peace and joy everlasting where Simeon and all the other faithful ones from Abel to John the Baptist will bless them with their friendship and participate with them in spreading the praises of Jehovah’s great name to earth’s remotest bounds.

The Golden Age.  January 17, 1934 p. 254

 

Before that reign in all its power and glory can become manifest to all men it is necessary that Jehovah’s enemies lick the dust in Armageddon. In Vindication, Book Two (the work is in three volumes), 199 pages are set apart to the delineation of these enemies of the great and true and just and only God. The chapters discussed in those pages are Ezekiel chapters 25 to 32 inclusive.

The Golden Age.  January 31, 1934 p. 259

 

But they claim that worse times than we are now having must come first, as the battle of Armageddon must be fought and it will be the greatest battle of all times.

It would seem that such a step would be in line with what the Scriptures show to be Satan’s purposes to have the whole world in subjection at the break of Armageddon.

His judgment written shows that such opposers will find no way of escape at the execution of His judgment at Armageddon.

The Golden Age.  January 31, 1934 p. 301

 

The apostles of Jesus suffered the very things that the Lord described in the tenth chapter of Matthew, but it is very evident that in so doing they fulfilled the prophecy only in a partial manner and that the greater fulfilment must come upon those who faithfully follow Jesus and who give the final testimony before the on-coming battle of Armageddon.

The Golden Age.  January 31, 1934 p. 317

 

Anyone, therefore, who attempts to keep these truths from the people is fighting against God and not against man, and everyone who thus opposes God will experience the trouble of Armageddon and “will find no way of escape”.

The Golden Age.  February 28, 1934 p. 326

 

However, Armageddon will soon clean up all rubbish off the earth, and create a better and healthier atmosphere.

ALTHOUGH the selfishness and commotion of the present time will stifle the possibility of the common people to enjoy many of the recent inventions, I read with interest the following, which show but a few of the blessings man will enjoy shortly, after Armageddon cleans the slate.

Satan knows that it is only a short time until Armageddon, which will be the final fight by Satan and his angels on one side and Christ Jesus and His angels on the other side, and, knowing this, Satan brings great woe upon the world, his purpose being to turn the people away from the true God and cause their destruction.

The Golden Age.  April 11, 1934 p. 421

 

After this, and in harmony with the will of God as He has commanded, Jehovah’s witnesses will give no further notice and warning to the rulers of the world, but must now bring to the attention of the people of good will the message of notice and warning concerning Armageddon and God’s kingdom, even as Moses and Aaron gave special instruction to the Israelites just before the tenth plague came upon Egypt. 

The Golden Age.  April 11, 1934 p. 422

 

The Israelites immediately left Egypt and were pursued by Pharaoh and his official organization, all of which were destroyed in the sea. That foreshadowed or pictured Armageddon, which will mean the complete destruction of Satan’s rule of this world, both visible and invisible.

The Golden Age.  April 11, 1934 p. 423

 

The flood, the destruction of Egypt, and the fall of Jerusalem brought great trouble upon the people, but Jesus declares that Armageddon shall bring upon the world the greatest tribulation ever known, and that it will be the last. (Matthew 24: 14, 21, 22) Hence we may know that the impending battle of Armageddon will he the final and complete execution of Jehovah’s judgment against the both invisible and visible.

Armageddon will not be fought between men of the nations of earth. Armageddon is the ‘battle of the great day of God Almighty’, in which Christ Jesus and His angels will fight against Satan and his wicked host, and Christ will be completely victorious.

The Scriptures plainly show that in Jehovah’s due time Jesus must come again and set up His kingdom of righteousness; that the time of His coming might be known by men who were watching and waiting therefor the Scriptures declare that this time should be marked by a world war, accompanied by pestilence and great distress and perplexity upon the nations of the world; that in 1914 this prophecy concerning the end of the world and the coming of the Lord’s kingdom began to have fulfilment and the understanding thereof became possible only after that date; that Jesus Christ approximately at that time cast Satan the Devil down to earth and for that reason there is now great suffering, woe and distress upon the nations and peoples of the earth, and that Satan is the primary cause of such distress and suffering and he brings this upon men in order to turn them away from the true God and His kingdom; that just now Satan is gathering all the nations, and particularly the nations of “Christendom”, to the great battle of Armageddon, at which battle Satan’s organization will be completely destroyed; that according to the Scriptures that will be the greatest tribulation the world has ever known and will be the end of all trouble upon the earth; that following Armageddon peace and prosperity, happiness and life will come to men who are obedient and that the obedient will abide for ever upon earth and there will never be another war; that the great battle of Armageddon is impending and that it will come to pass within the present generation.

The Bible further teaches, which we accept and believe, that Jehovah has commanded that within the period of time from A.D. 1914 until the battle of Armageddon the faithful followers of Christ Jesus on earth must be witnesses for Jehovah and must inform the rulers and the people of Jehovah’s purpose to destroy the wicked rule of earth and in its place and stead to establish His government of righteousness under Christ Jesus for the blessing of all the nations of the earth.

The Golden Age.  April 11, 1934 p. 426

 

The Bible further teaches, and which teachings we accept and strive to obey, that those who are devoted to God must proclaim the good news concerning the kingdom of God both to the rulers and to the people and to inform them as taught by the Scriptures that the only hope of the world is God’s kingdom, and that this testimony must be given, not for the purpose of converting men of the world now, but as a witness in order that those who desire may serve God and live or refuse to serve Him and lose that great privilege; that as soon as this witness work is completed there will follow the great tribulation of Armageddon; and following Armageddon will come the resurrection of the dead and the blessing of the people of the earth who obey the laws of God’s kingdom.

Now the earthly representatives of Satan in this modern or antitypical Egypt are given full warning, time and opportunity to identify themselves before Jehovah takes final action against them at the impending battle of Armageddon.

The three days of darkness upon Egypt symbolically means that the present-day darkness upon the world will continue and persist until Armageddon, when the whole Devil system will go down into the abyss of everlasting darkness.

After this, and in harmony with the will of God as He has commanded, Jehovah’s witnesses will give no further notice and warning to the world rulers, but must now bring to the attention of the people of good will the message of notice and warning concerning Armageddon and God’s kingdom, even as Moses and Aaron gave special instruction to the Israelites just before the tenth plague came upon Egypt.

The Golden Age.  April 25, 1934 p. 477

Jehovah told Moses that the death of the firstborn would take place at midnight, meaning antitypically at a time of the world’s blackness or darkest period. The blackness of darkness is now upon the world, and must continue until Armageddon.

The final plague upon the world will be at Armageddon.

The Golden Age.  April 25, 1934 p. 478

 

Even so the death of “Christ our passover” and the partaking of the merit of His death by those begotten of God’s spirit precede the slaughter of Satan’s firstborn at Armageddon. (1 Corinthians 5:7, 8)

The Golden Age.  April 25, 1934 p. 478

 

They will survive Armageddon by virtue of Jehovah’s protection. The Scriptures also show that the people of good will, the “sheep” class, who do good to the “least of [Christ’s] brethren” (Jehovah’s witnesses), will also survive Armageddon, but not for the same reason that the Lord will preserve the remnant of His firstborn.-Matthew 25:31-46.

The Scriptures, therefore, clearly seem to show that Egypt’s firstborn represent the visible part of Satan’s organization, which will be destroyed at Armageddon, and that the invisible part of his organization, including Satan himself, will shortly follow thereafter, when Satan will be cast into the pit of destruction. (Revelation 19:19-21; 20:1-3)

The Golden Age.  April 25, 1934 p. 478

 

The so-called “Mother’s Day” was observed in America first in 1914, the very year that Satan’s world ended and when he knew his time was short to get ready for the great battle of Armageddon.

The Golden Age.  May 9, 1934 p. 489

 

To induce the people to bestow special honor and worship upon mothers would be one step towards turning the people away from the worship of God; and this is one of his means of preparing for Armageddon. In all the churches today much is made over “Mother’s Day”, but in not a single one of them are the people ever told that God is the Father, and that the “mother” is His organization, and that all honor and worship is due to Jehovah God.

The Golden Age.  May 9, 1934 p. 489, 490

 

Jehovah by His angel deputy, caused John to write that which he saw, for the special benefit of God’s faithful people who should be on the earth just before Armageddon begins. Now, and especially since 1922, God’s remnant on earth have begun to see the fulfilment of John’s vision, and those still alive on the earth at Armageddon will discern, it more clearly.

The Golden Age.  May 9, 1934 p. 506

 

This is strong evidence that some of the remnant will be on the earth after Armageddon and will be the ones used by the Lord to first inform the people who have survived the time of trouble.

At that time the Devil had been cast out of heaven, and, knowing that the time was short until Armageddon, when he must fight, he began to gather all the nations of “Christendom” together for action at that great battle, as stated in Revelation 12:12; 16:13-16

The Golden Age.  May 23, 1934 p. 520

 

Again I warn the people that the great battle of Armageddon is but a short distance in the future and that now Satan is using every means within his power to prevent the people from learning the cause of that battle, what will be the result thereof, and what is the only means of safety for the people.

The Golden Age.  May 23, 1934 p. 522

THE pope issued a warning that a world-wide conflict may come, and wanted a world-wide spiritual revival to avoid Armageddon. Well, the thing that he fears is just the thing that is coming, and nothing can stop it or should do so. Armageddon is necessary; it is the Lord’s method of cleaning up the earth and making it a fit place in which to live.

The time limit fixed for Satan to carryon his operations is now up, and within a very short time God will, by the hand of Christ Jesus, His chief executive officer, fight the Devil and his forces at the battle of Armageddon, which will be the worst ever known, and in that conflict Satan and his organization will be destroyed.

What, then, is the hope for the people Jehovah God, at Matthew 12, gives answer to that question in these words: “Behold my servant [Christ Jesus], whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I have put my spirit upon him, and he shall show [justice] to the [nations] . . . . And in his name shall the [nations] trust.” Armageddon will mark the complete end of Satan’s rule of the world. Why should the people put their trust in Christ Jesus and His kingdom? The answer from God’s Word is this, that Armageddon will demonstrate to all creation that Jehovah is the all-wise, just and loving God, and that His government for mankind, established with Christ Jesus as the invisible head thereof, will bring to pass that which righteous men have long desired. At Armageddon, which is but a short time in the future, Christ Jesus will completely rid the earth of wickedness.

That is something like what Jehovah God has declared His purpose to do.  All these munition makers, and all the other troublemakers, no matter how many they are, or how powerful, will be destroyed by the angels of Jehovah God in the impending battle of Armageddon; and thereafter, according to the Scriptures, there will indeed be a warless world.

The Roman Catholic hierarchy and its arrogant allies now think they can assault with impunity Jehovah’s witnesses and bring reproach upon God’s holy name and get away with it. They will find, however, that in the battle of Armageddon their wealth, worldly influence, position and power amongst men will afford them no help whatsoever and that there will be no place for them to escape, as it is written, in Jeremiah’s prophecy (25:33-35): “And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground. Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel. And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.”

“Dividing the People”

The title of this new booklet focuses attention on the work which Jehovah God, by his Judge at the temple, Christ Jesus, is now doing in view of the great slaughter to occur at Armageddon.

If, as it has been contended by some, both the sleeping faithful saints and the faithful ones on earth arc changed in the same instant, then the resurrection of the dead could not precede the change of the living; but when we understand that the words “at the same time with them” really mean within “the day of Jehovah”, which began in 1914 and continues until the close of Armageddon, the matter is entirely clear and these texts are completely in harmony, as indeed they must be.

I can hardly wait until I can study it. Also the first article in the last Golden Age (November 8), “Preparation for Armageddon,” using 2 Kings 10:15 for the text, speaking of the Jonadabs, how happy they are, and, the good they do for others.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  January 15, 1934 p. 32

 

Since the Scriptures declare that whatsoever things were written aforetime were so written that God’s faithful people might in patience and comfort have hope, and that this greater enlightenment would come to those at the end of the world, we may be sure that the Lord God, sometime while the remnant is on earth, would give to them an understanding of that prophecy and that such understanding would be had before the day of Armageddon. (Rom. 15: 4)

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  February 1, 1934 p. 36

 

Then thereafter it was that the great Vindicator at the temple of Jehovah began to make known to the remnant the ‘two great wonders or signs’ of the twelfth chapter of Revelation and these faithful ones began to discern and appreciate for the first time of and concerning Satan’s organization that is pitted against Jehovah’s organization, and that the final conflict will be had at Armageddon.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  February 1, 1934 p. 37

 

The execution of that decree, therefore, began in 1914 and shall be fully and completely executed at Armageddon. The destruction of the tree as described by the prophet Ezekiel, in the thirty-first chapter, shows what will come to pass at Armageddon.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  February 1, 1934 p. 40

 

I am indeed grateful to you, Brother Rutherford, and all the coworkers for these truths which have been provided by Jehovah through you at this time of preparation for Armageddon.

Your brother in His service,

F.K. Southworth, Kansas

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  February 1, 1934 p. 46

 

The words of the prophetic dream, to wit, “seven times, ” should not be confused with the period of time elapsing from Eden to Armageddon, and there is a definite reason for this.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  February 15, 1934 p. 51

 

Also his visible representatives, the rulers of earth, have received time and again and have ignored the counsel of the Most High, and that particularly given at the close of the World War; therefore Armageddon shall see their finish.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  February 15, 1934 p. 55

 

Armageddon will demonstrate that the power of this evil world is as nothing.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  February 15, 1934 p. 57

 

Now the announcement to the rulers of the world that Christ Jesus, the great Judge, has come to the temple for judgment is a warning to all such of the punishment God will inflict upon his enemies culminating in the complete destruction of the world at Armageddon.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  March 1, 1934 p. 70

 

The ten plagues were immediately followed by the destruction of Pharaoh’s army, which foreshadows that immediately following the anti-typical fulfillment of the plagues there must come the destruction of Satan’s organization at Armageddon.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  March 15, 1934 p. 83

 

“Sewn” is a symbol of divine completeness, while hail symbolizes hard and unbreakable truths that cut, bruise and kill. All the plagues, antitypically, have to do with the proclamation of God’s message of truth, and this proclamation of truth or work of Jehovah’s witnesses must not be completed on earth until they have proclaimed all of Jehovah’s warning messages of vengeance and vindication; and this they must tie before Armageddon.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  March 15, 1934 p. 87

 

Therefore Jehovah is causing his witnesses on earth to bear his message of truth throughout the world to modern Egypt, calling attention to his own supreme power and that this power will be completely made manifest at Armageddon.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  March 15, 1934 p. 88

 

The three days of darkness coming upon Egypt symbolically means that the present-day darkness upon the world will continue and persist until Armageddon, when the whole of the Devil system will go down into the abyss of everlasting darkness.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  March 15, 1934 p. 90

 

There is still some witness work to be done amongst the people, and preparation is now being made for the final plague to be visited upon Satan’s organization at Armageddon.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  March 15, 1934 p. 91

 

The final plague upon the world will be at Armageddon. 

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  March 15, 1934 p. 91

 

Even so the death of “Christ, our passover”, and the partaking of his merit by the spirit-begotten ones, precede the slaughter of Satan’s firstborn at Armageddon.  As Israel’s firstborn, will be passed over and preserved at the battle of the great day of God Almighty.  They will survive Armageddon by virtue of Jehovah’s protection.  The “great multitude” will not survive Armageddon, because they are not of the “church of the firstborn” and are not shown in this type or picture. 

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  March 15, 1934 p. 92

 

The plagues are now in operation, advancing to the great climax of destruction of Satan’s firstborn at Armageddon.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  March 15, 1934 p. 93

 

The “day of Jehovah”, beginning in 1914, marks the time when christ Jesus was placed upon his throne and sent forth to rule.  In 1918, or three and one-half years thereafter, judgement begins, and then follows the antitypical fulfillment of the plagues upon Egypt, which plagues are completed at Armageddon in the destruction of the firstborn.  Therefore it is those who are in Christ as members of his royal house who are the ones passed over at Armageddon, and these are passed over upon condition that they are faithful, abiding in Christ, obeying his commandments; and which means that they must perform the service of bearing testimony before the rulers na before the people of and concerning the kingdom and declaring the vengeance of our God.  When this declaration is completed, then will follow the execution of the final plague at Armageddon. 

The scriptures therefore, seem clearly to show that the firstborn of Egypt represent the visible part of Satan’s organization, which will be destroyed at Armageddon, and that the invisible part of his organization, including Satan himself, will shortly follow thereafter, when Satan shall be cast into the pit of destruction. 

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  March 15, 1934 p. 93

 

Men will not and can not destroy Satan’s organization, but the Lord will completely wreck it at Armageddon. The only part you as Jehovah’s witnesses have in connection with that conflict is to sing the praises of Jehovah, making known his judgements. (Ps. 149:5-9) Therefore be kind, firm, brave and bold in declaring the message of the kingdom.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  May 1, 1934 p. 141

 

In the performance of such ministry or commission all the faithful remnant delight to “declare his righteousness; for God is judge himself”.  This they do while they are on the earth.  There will be no occasion for such ministry after Armageddon; and this is further proof that the new covenant is made and inaugurated and accomplishes its purpose prior to Armageddon.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  June 1, 1934 p. 163

 

Hence the World of Jehovah God plainly declares that ecclesiasticism must be utterly destroyed at the battle of Armageddon, which is near at hand, in order that his glorious name and his infallible word may be cleared and vindicated before all creation.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  June 15, 1934 p. 191

 

This loving provision made by Jehovah being announced at the time of making of the covenant of faithfulness shows that the cities of refuge foreshadow God’s loving-kindness for the protection of the people of good will during Armageddon; that they must come to know these truths after the building up of Zion and before Armageddon; that the remnant of Jehovah’s anointed on earth have a positive obligation laid upon them now which must be performed toward those of the Jonadab company; and that the Jonadabs must perform certain specific requirements in order to be assured of refuge during the trouble, and to ultimately receive life.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  August 1, 1934 p. 227

 

All the nations have violated the everlasting covenant, and for this reason God will execute his vengeance upon them at the battle of Armageddon, which is the day of the expression of the vengeance of our Cod.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  August 1, 1934 p. 229

 

All such willful slayers shall perish at Armageddon. 

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  August 1, 1934 p. 229

 

Not later than Armageddon Jesus Christ, the revenger of blood, will slay the malicious clergy and their allies. 

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  August 1, 1934 p. 232

 

“The death of the high priest” means the change of the last members of the royal priesthood from human to spirit organism, which follows Armageddon. 

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  August 15, 1934 p. 246

 

The sword of Jehovah wielded in righteousness at Armageddon, and that alone, will satisfy divine justice. 

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  August 15, 1934 p. 246

 

Then all of these are told that before God’s wrath is expressed at Armageddon they must seek meekness and righteousness.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  August 15, 1934 p. 249

 

All those who pass through the great tribulation of Armageddon must be hid by Jehovah, otherwise they could not be shielded from that terrible trouble that will come upon the world. 

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  August 15, 1934 p. 249

 

Hence they must perform these conditions; otherwise they would not be hid in the day of Armageddon.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  August 15, 1934 p. 249

  

They will fight on Satan’s side in tho battle of Armageddon and suffer complete defeat.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  September 1, 1934 p. 260

 

It was during that 120 years that Jehovah did cause a great witness to be given to his name, and at the end of that 120 years he brought about the complete destruction of the world, which destruction foreshadows the destruction of the world at Armageddon. 

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  September 1, 1934 p. 263

 

Without doubt Jehovah has reserved them alive under restraint of darkness and under surveillance in order to show his power over them at Armageddon and thereby to convince all creation that Jehovah is God the Almighty One. 

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  September 15, 1934 p. 279

 

Likewise “Christendom”, or “organized Christianity”, began with the avowed purpose of serving God, but its leaders have turned away from God and Christ and have joined hands with the Devil’s organization and must suffer destruction at Armageddon.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  September 15, 1934 p. 282

 

Armageddon will bring the greatest tribulation. (Matt. 24:21, 22) In the tribulation of Armageddon the opposers of God will find no way of escape, hence no place of safety.  (Jer.25:33-35)

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  September 15, 1934 p. 283

 

“The sons of God” who become disobedient and left God’s organization in the days of Noah have been imprisoned for a long time.  They are yet alive, and it seems that their punishment may end approximately at Armageddon.  Such of that company as turn to righteousness may be saved and recovered.  The “great multitude” class are those who consecrated themselves to do God’s will, were begotten of the spirit and have since tried to uplift the world by remaining in the “churches”’ and these are held as prisoners by Satan’s organization.  They will find no place of escape at Armageddon except through death. 

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  September 15, 1934 p. 283

 

38, 39.  Explain how God’s procedure in Noah’s day foreshadowed his provision of a place of safety for the obedient, and certain adverse dealing with the disobedient, at Armageddon.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  September 15, 1934 p. 284

 

We face with confidence the approach of Armageddon, because our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from Satan.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  September 15, 1934 p. 287

 

As we approach now to the day of Armageddon, and hence to the time of the most sever test upon the remnant, let those who are privileged to be in the covenant for the kingdom with Christ Jesus rejoice that they are permitted to fill up the suffering that are left behind for the present time, knowing this, that Jehovah will cause all things to work together for good to those whom he has called to the kingdom and who really love him. (Col. 1:24; Rom 8:28)

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  October 15, 1934 p. 307

 

We have no means of determining just what this binding foreshadowed, but, judging the future by the past, concerning like matters, the suggestion is here made that the binding may foreshadow the stopping of the witness work by the enemy’s applying force by and through the “strong-arm squad”, and this just before Armageddon.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  October 15, 1934 p. 310

 

Armageddon will be no stage play, nor a mere “breakfast affair”, but will be the hottest fight ever known; and so terrible will it be that many will ask, “How can any flesh be saved?” (Matt. 24:21, 22)

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  October 15, 1934 p. 310, 311

 

The strong-arm squad that bound and carried these three Hebrews to the mouth of the furnace and hurled them into the flames were themselves destroyed in their efforts to destroy the faithful Hebrews; thus showing that the destruction of Satan’s forces at Armageddon is clearly foreshadowed.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  October 15, 1934 p. 311

 

Nebuchadnezzar the king sat by in his royal chair to see the end of the three Hebrew men who had dared disobey his order, just as the Devil will sit by at Armageddon and watch his forces being led by his field marshal Gog and expect to witness the complete clearing out of all those who are on the side of Jehovah.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  October 15, 1934 p. 311

 

This supports other scriptures which show that Satan will survive until the very last of Armageddon and will witness the complete defeat of his own forces just before he is bound and cast into the bottomless pit. (Rev. 19:20; 20:1, 2)

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  October 15, 1934 p. 311

 

This shows that Christ Jesus, Jehovah’s Field Marshal, at Armageddon will lead the fight and overcome the enemy, and all who are with him and remain faithful to the end will also be overcomers. 

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  October 15, 1934 p. 311

 

Now, as the prophetic picture appears, Armageddon is done, and the fire of battle has ceased, and Christ Jesus, the great Righteous Ruler, is in complete charge, administering justice to the people.  
The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  October 15, 1934 p. 312

 

Christ the King had proved the integrity of his servants and the supremacy of Jehovah, which he will do at Armageddon. Now, as Nebuchadnezzar called forth the three men, even so Christ Jesus calls forth the faithful to his service.  The coming forth of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego from the midst of the fire pictures the survivors of the remnant who pass through Armageddon and who perform some service on earth thereafter.  In the fight at Armageddon Satan’s crowd will all be confounded and put to shame, but the faithful remnant of Jehovah will be saved and will greatly rejoice; and this is further supported by the prophecy of Isaiah 45:16, 17.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  October 15, 1934 p. 312


The end of Armageddon will surely be a time of great rejoicing in heaven, when the victory of Christ Jesus over Satan is complete and the name of the Most High is given its proper place in the mind of every creature that lives.  All who survive Armageddon will look with awe and reverence and devotion upon God and his great King, even as those who stood with Nebuchadnezzar no doubt looked with astonishment upon the three Hebrews brought forth from the furnace.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  October 15, 1934 p. 312

 

In the day of fiery trials Jehovah’s witnesses faithfully perform their service and rejoice therein, giving praise to God for the privilege; and now, at the end of Armageddon, Christ Jesus calls them forth and acknowledges them before his Father even as he promised long ago: “But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.  Fear ye not therefore; yea are of more value than many sparrows.  Whosever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my father which is in heaven.”  (Matt. 10:30-32)

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  October 15, 1934 p. 312

 

Following Armageddon is the time when every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and Ruler of the world, and all this to the glory of Jehovah God.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  October 15, 1934 p. 312

 

The remnant on earth, together with the Jonadabs, are the people of God who survive Armageddon, and these will bless and praise the name of Jehovah, giving thanks for their deliverance, just as the Israelites sang the song of deliverance under the leadership of Moses on the banks of the Red sea, as hereinbefore stated.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  October 15, 1934 p. 313

 

When Armageddon is done these faithful ones will appreciate Jehovah’s provision for them more than they can now possibly appreciate the same, and they will acknowledge Jehovah’s gracious provision for them and will continue to praise his name with songs of joy.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  October 15, 1934 p. 313

 

t is a question of their maintaining their integrity toward Jehovah God that is the inducing cause that leads up to the battle of Armageddon and the persecution upon the faithful which precedes and accompanies that battle.  If such question had not been involved Jehovah could just as easily have demonstrated his power at Eden by there destroying Satan.  Jehovah waits till Armageddon to execute Satan and his host of rebels, in order that Jehovahs witnesses might first declare his name throughout the earth, thereby furnishing them an opportunity to prove their integrity toward God and to prove Satan a liar, and then he exercises his power by destroying Satan’s organization. 

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  October 15, 1934 p. 313

 

As the remnant read these precious truths from the treasure house of Jehovah they do joyfully and thankfully exclaim: ‘Surely our God is feeding us upon food that is convenient for us; he has spread a feast for us while we are surrounded by the enemy.’ Let the remnant now rejoice and confidently and patiently march on to Armageddon.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  October 15, 1934 p. 313

 

That decree was against anyone who should become God’s enemy, and foreshadows the decree of Christ against those who become Jehovah’s enemy after Armageddon.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  October 15, 1934 p. 313

 

Jehovah’s unmatched power of deliverance at Armageddon will prove his supremacy and that nothing can successfully resist his power.  Now it is seen that the crucial test must come just before and at Armageddon, and in that test the faithful have the assurance that almighty power will be used in their behalf.  (Deut. 33:27)

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  October 15, 1934 p. 314

 

That promotion of the three Hebrews suggests further privileges of service that God will give to his faithful remnant on the earth immediately following Armageddon.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  October 15, 1934 p. 314

 

The fulfillment of this prophetic picture begins a short time before Armageddon and is concluded at Armageddon. 

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  November 1, 1934 p. 323

 

“Belshazzar”  means “prince of Bel” or “whom Bel favors”, and hence pictures “Christendom”, which is now drunk on Babylon’s wine, and under the leadership of Gog the invisible field marshal of Satan who is assigned to lead the army of Satan at Armageddon.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  November 1, 1934 p. 323

 

That definitely fixes the time of the fulfillment of the prophetic picture after 1914 and shortly before the battle of Armageddon; hence both the scripture and the physical facts show that the prophecy is now in course of fulfillment. 

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  November 1, 1934 p. 324

 

He does not realize that Armageddon will be fought by the powers of Jehovah God. 

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  November 1, 1934 p. 324

 

In this manner those of ” Christendom” show themselves as being on the side of God’s vilifiers; and thus they don the garments of Baal and mark themselves for the slaughter that must shortly follow at Armageddon.  (2 Ki. 10:18-27; Jer. 25:33-36)

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  November 1, 1934 p. 326

 

In that period the people regains his temporal power and the other parts of “christendom; received his delegates or ambassadors.  He declares 1933 a “holy year”; and when he sees that has failed he continues to howl with his other allies and asks them all to pray that Armageddon may be prevented.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  November 1, 1934 p. 328

 

The final end comes at Armageddon and just before which the witness work must be completed.  (Matt. 24:14, 21, 22; see Rev. 18:10, 17, 19)

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  November 1, 1934 p. 345

 

It is during the weighing of Babylon lay the Lord Jesus Christ that the ruling elements of the earth, pictured by Belshazzar, his wives, concubines, lords and other officers, put on the vestments or garments lay which they identify themselves as anti-God, anti- kingdom, and as Devil worshipers, hence deserving to be slaughtered at Armageddon as Jehu slaughtered the Devil’s typical crowd.-2 Ki. 10:18-26

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  November 1, 1934 p. 345

 

At Armageddon the rulership of the world will be snatched away from Satan and taken over by Christ Jesus.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  November 1, 1934 p. 345

 

In verse twenty-five the plural “Pharsin” calls attention to two dividing or dealings-out, that is to say, the dealing out of Babylon to Christ in 1914, when the Devil and his crowd were cast out of heaven, and the second dealing-out, which takes place at the battle of Armageddon, when the organization of Satan is destroyed and the rolling of the world completely taken over by Christ Jesus. Daniel’s use of the word “Peres”, in the singular in verse twenty-eight above quoted, seems to apply specifically to the final dividing or splitting-up, at Armageddon.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  November 1, 1934 p. 345

 

The rule of the world will be forcibly snatched away from Satan at Armageddon by Christ Jesus the Conqueror; and concerning this the prophet Daniel records his vision which he had in the first year of the reign of Belshazzar, to wit: “I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  November 1, 1934 p. 345, 346

 

At Armageddon those who have long ruled the world in wickedness, and have oppressed the human race and shamefully dishonored God’s holy name and his kingdom, will come to an end, and Christ Jesus will do the executing of all the wicked ones. 

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  November 1, 1934 p. 347


The Bible makes known Darius; and this corresponds to the further fact that the rulers in this world do not know Jehovah God, and that they make mention of his name only in derision, while at tho same time they give prominence to the name of Jesus Christ, even though they do so for a selfish reason. After Armageddon all shall know Jehovah.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  November 1, 1934 p. 347


The peculiar and special test upon the remnant from 1918 onward until the enemy is completely cleared out at Armageddon is head in order to prove that such are ‘vessels of honor’ maintaining their integrity towards Jehovah.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  December 1, 1934 p. 358

 

King Darius commanded that Daniel should be brought up out of the den of lions. This could not foreshadow that before Armageddon the remnant would be taken out of danger.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  December 15, 1934 p. 378

 

This clearly seems to foreshadow the proclamation of universal peace that shall be issued by the Lord immediately following the execution of the wicked organization that takes place at Armageddon.  “For out of Zion [Jehovah’s capital organization] shall go forth the law,” that is, the rule of action commanding what is right. (Isa. 2:3)  It is the great King of Eternity speaking  to the survivors of Armageddon by his Chief Officer, the Prince of Peace, and there must then follow the fulfillment of the prophetic utterance, “On earth peace, good will toward men.”

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  December 15, 1934 p. 379

 

That decree seems clearly to foreshadow the first decree of the new heaven following Armageddon.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  December 15, 1934 p. 379

 

The remnant’s being on earth after the destruction of the wicked at Armageddon will prove that they are on earth only by the power and grace of the Almighty God, and this will be a vindication of Jehovah’s name and power, and all creation then must acknowledge that Jehovah is God and that Christ is his chosen One to the glory of the Most High.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  December 15, 1934 p. 381

 

It would appear that these opportunities of the remand after Armageddon would be as helpers and comforters of the people. (Mic. 5:7)  The Scriptures do not indicate how long the remnant will be on the earth after Armageddon.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  December 15, 1934 p. 381

 

44-48.  Show, with this (verse 26) and other scriptures, whether Armageddon (a) will terminate the efforts of men to establish a permanent government, (b) will serve to emphasize and confirm the certainty, purpose and justice of Jehovah’s judgments, and (c) will settle the question of supremacy and of who shall rule the world.

The Watchtower and Herald of Christ’s Presence.  December 15, 1934 p. 382
