When I told him that none of the present kingdoms were Christ’s kingdom, but were organized by Satan, he said: “Well, I must admit that everybody is trying selfishly to profit as best he can, even at the expense of his fellow men.” And when I went on to say that all the present kingdoms, therefore, shortly will go to pieces in Armageddon, he frankly admitted that “it most certainly looks like it”.

The last members of the Christ body on earth are the remnant, and are undoubtedly represented here by “thy foot”; and this seems to be another indication that the faithful remnant, or at least some of them, will be on earth during the great battle of Armageddon and witness the blood that shall flow by reason of Christ Jesus’ executing the enemy.

The Jehonadab class are meek, that is, teachable, and they seek to do right and are anxious for the kingdom to be established, and it is this class that Jehovah’s Word shows he will take through Armageddon. It is the Jehonadab class that are marked in their foreheads, and these are to be spared. It is a great comfort to Jehovah’s witnesses to now know that they are permitted to carry the waters of life to a class of people that may be taken through Armageddon and given everlasting life on the earth by reason of the bounteous goodness of Jehovah, even as the name Jehonadab suggests. V III, 82-84

Among these mysteries are, Who is God, and what does his name signify?  Is God responsible for all the sorrows and woes of the world?  Has he an organization, and what is it? What is the organization that opposes him? What is Armageddon? Many of these mysteries are cleared up by an understanding of Revelation and Ezekiel, and God’s due time has come to make these known to those who take their stand on the side of the Lord.  The two books entitled Light, dealing with Revelation, and three books entitled Vindication, dealign with Ezekiel, show how God has brought to pass the facts fulfilling these prophecies.
