1967 ed. Qualified to Be Ministers

The opportunity for blessing Jehovah’s name will never be lacking now before Armageddon’s battle. So give your sacrifice daily to Jehovah God.

Qualified to Be Ministers.  1955, 1967 Rev.  p. 19

A talk on how world peace can be attained could present the crying need for peace as the problem, then show man’s suggested remedies and various efforts to attain peace, and conclude with the one and only solution, Jehovah’s new world after the battle of Armageddon.

Qualified to Be Ministers.  1955, 1967 Rev.  p. 28

What a feeble understatement to relate as a trivial thing one of the greatest events of all history—Jesus Christ’s abyssing Satan the Devil after Armageddon!

Qualified to Be Ministers.  1955, 1967 Rev.  p. 49

With the whole world as the field, in the short time before Armageddon Jehovah’s witnesses are very busy publishing this good news of the Kingdom in all nations for the purpose of a witness. In doing so they use every means at their disposal, so that all may have the opportunity to hear. Among the modern advances in this electronic age are radio and television. These have been a help to God’s ministers. Before Armageddon comes there may yet be much opportunity to use these means of communication further.

Qualified to Be Ministers.  1955, 1967 Rev.  p. 108

This lets us know where we are in the stream of time, that we live in the last days, that soon Armageddon will sweep aside this old world of wickedness to make way for God’s new world of righteousness.

Qualified to Be Ministers.  1955, 1967 Rev.  p. 155

Publication title: The volume You May Survive Armageddon into God’s New World considers the fulfillment of forty-two types and prophecies concerning the earthly heirs of God’s new system of things.

Qualified to Be Ministers.  1955, 1967 Rev.  p. 160

We read, at Revelation 16:16 (NW), that the war of the great day of God the Almighty Is mentioned as being fought at Har-Magedon, or Armageddon. The mere fact that Jehovah’s great battle Is named Armageddon should arouse interest as to why.

Qualified to Be Ministers.  1955, 1967 Rev.  p. 167

He did not say that we should wrangle, or try to force the message upon him or threaten him with destruction at Armageddon. Later on he may become interested.

Qualified to Be Ministers.  1955, 1967 Rev.  p. 180

Consider your audience. What is the level of their understanding? How much do they know of our work? How many of these expressions will be as readily understood by them as by the speaker? Terms like “theocracy,” “remnant,” “other sheep,” even “Armageddon” and “Kingdom,” can convey either a different thought to the hearer’s mind or none at all. Even such terms as “soul,” “hell” and “immortality” need to be clarified if the hearer is unfamiliar with our work. But if the talk is being delivered to the congregation, terms such as these need not be explained. So the setting should be taken into account by the counselor and appropriate counsel given.

Qualified to Be Ministers.  1955, 1967 Rev.  p. 305

Even allusions to “Armageddon” and “the Kingdom’s establishment” convey little meaning without some explanation as to their significance.

Qualified to Be Ministers.  1955, 1967 Rev.  p. 352

They anticipate living after the destruction of this old order in God’s righteous new system of things, where they will be perfected in mind and body. (2 Pet. 3:13, 14) They know that the theocratic society will go through Armageddon and wiIl continue to grow and expand until it fills the earth. They keenly look forward to the share that they may have in the work to be done then, to Jehovah’s glory; so they are grateful for the loving assistance that the organization is providing to make them acceptable servants of God now and to equip them for a part in carrying out the will of God in his righteous new order.

1967 Kingdom Ministry

Teaching ability has a future, since not only in this period of time will it be useful, but following Armageddon the ability to teach will be of use in the great educational program to be conducted.

But before we enter into that time when there will be pieces in all the earth charged with post-Armageddon teaching activities, we have to fight the fight of faith and know how to endure faithfully.

Kingdom Ministry.  February 1967 p. 8

When Armageddon strikes, what will we be doing? The work of the Lord or something else? No, during this time of the end is not the time to slow down.-1 Thess. 5:1-6.

Kingdom Ministry.  May 1967 p. 7

Remember the question, ‘Why preach, since almost all will be resurrected anyway?’ And the answer: Keep on preaching, because for by far the majority of people now alive resurrection may not become possible, since they will probably live until Armageddon. Our preach ing can help some of them survive that war in stead of being destroyed everlastingly. It is only a small minority who might have the possibility of a resurrection because of their dying before Babylon the Great’s destruction and Armageddon. So on with the lifesaving fishing operations!

Kingdom Ministry.  September 1967 p. 3

How did the brother put it? ‘Armageddon will not automatically change personalities. Even resurrection from death doesn’t.’

As this system of things draws near to its end at Armageddon, parents would do well if they paid more than the usual attention to their children. A Toronto report states that sexual assaults on children in Ontario have reached “alarming proportions.”

Awake! October 22, 1967 p. 29

And the Society’s vice-president, F. W. Franz, told of his recent trip to Bible lands and other countries where true Christians suffer under persecution. He encouraged the graduates to build up Christian personalities in others so that they will display courage in the face of hatred and opposition and be carried right on through Armageddon into God’s new order.
