1944 The Kingdom Is At Hand

When these survivors, pictured by Noah’s sons and their wives, bring forth children in righteousness to fill the earth therewith, there will be no Serpent and his vile brood in either heaven or earth. These will have been destroyed down to the last “viper” by the reigning Seed of Jehovah’s “wife” in the final battle of Armageddon which will wipe out this world and which was pictured by the deluge of Noah’s time.

The Kingdom Is At Hand.  1944.  p. 69

 

This good news that Jehovah God reigns through his King Christ Jesus and that shortly Satan’s wicked organization will be brought to its complete end at Armageddon and Christ’s own kingdom of a thousand years for mankind’s blessing will then begin, this is the gospel that must be published everywhere during the postwar era before the final end comes.

The Kingdom Is At Hand.  1944.  p. 344

 

Let be shocked whoever will, but it is true: Religion leads the rulers and peoples of this earth unto a clash with the King of kings. Those who blindly follow her will be destroyed with her. In the postwar international arrangement, when religion and her lovers are saying “Peace and safety”, then sudden destruction will strike them in the “battle of that great day of God Almighty”. Religion will save none of them from that battle of Armageddon.

The Kingdom Is At Hand.  1944.  p. 348

The Kingdom Is At Hand.  1944.  p. 349

 

Why? Because their attitude and action toward the King’s elect brethren has betrayed their heart condition as to the King himself. “And these shall go away into everlasting punishment”; that is, an everlasting destruction or cutting off from life (kolasin, Greek). They will not survive the battle of Armageddon.-Matthew 25:41-46; see The Emphatic Diaglott.

The Kingdom Is At Hand.  1944.  p. 357

World War II is the “all out” come- back attempt of the “Holy Roman Empire”. It shall be her last, and will end in her complete destruction at the “battle of that great day of God Almighty”, Armageddon. That afflicting religious organization will never rise up again thereafter.

Consolation.  January 20, 1943 p. 28

 

The warring nations are already on the march to a still greater conflict, the battle of Armageddon. After the present global war ends with victory for the United Nations as it is hoped, and the postwar “new order” sets in, the nations will keep on with their march to the grand climax, “the battle of that great day of God Almighty.”
Consolation.  March 17, 1943 p. 3

 

Being enlightened and given the opportunity to act intelligently, such seekers of life and happiness can make a choice and take their stand for God and his Theocratic Government before Armageddon’s fight. The new college is dedicated to the work of educating the people in these matters affecting their eternal destinies.  Hence the establishment of the college is not an indication that the battle of Armageddon is farther off than has been believed hitherto by students of Bible prophecy and the times, but is a strong indication that the time till that battle is short. By inaugurating the college its backers are not seeking to extend or lengthen the time until Armageddon, but are striving to speed up the campaign of education which must be carried on world-wide before the great tribulation breaks.

Consolation.  March 17, 1943 p. 3

 

Study of sacred prophecy indicates that God has a fixed time to begin His fight at the battle of Armageddon; s it is written in the maxims of the wise man Solomon: “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of WAR, and a time of peace.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1, 8) Therefore, whatever any creatures on earth now do could in no wise move forward the date of Armageddon or push it back.
Consolation.  March 17, 1943 p. 3, 4

 

At most, students of the Scriptures can only take cognizance of the evidence of Armageddon’s nearness and can then apply themselves to the utmost and in the most effective manner to get the allotted work done on time. The interim between the close of World War I in 1918 and the beginning of the of Armageddon constitutes the time period by which Jehovah God Almighty shortens the days of tribulation.

Consolation.  March 17, 1943 p. 4

 

Thereby such ones may be hid in the day of His anger and may be of ‘that flesh which is saved’ during Armageddon.

Consolation.  March 17, 1943 p. 4

 

Corresponding to this, it was the Lord’s due time for the Watchtower Bible College to be established now, after A. D. 1938. Its establishment, rather than indicating that the battle of Armageddon is farther off than we had believed, is actually a proof that the fixed time for that battle to begin is near.

Consolation.  March 17, 1943 p. 14

 

In view of the impending battle of Armageddon signaling the old world’s dismal end, the work of Gilead’s Bible college is one of immediate necessity and of defense of the people against destruction in that battle.

Consolation.  March 17, 1943 p. 16

 

Surely to deliver God’s warning of the approaching calamity of Armageddon is a service of kindness and good-will; and when met, as often, with sticks and stones from the very ones who are most endangered and most in need, the faithful ambassadors of heist are rendering a service of mercy, humility, and self-abasement. 

Consolation.  March 17, 1943 p. 17

 

Perhaps some of these Jews in South America and elsewhere may have heart to hear the message of “present Truth”, and may find their way into Jehovah’s organization, the true Theocracy, before the storm of Armageddon breaks and all will be lost for those who are not by that time firmly on God’s side.

Consolation.  March 17, 1943 p. 21

 

On September 8, 1942, this Crown colony placed all WATCHTOWER publications under ban, not merely for the duration of the global war, but perpetually.  Protest was cabled from America to the governor-general, the former King Edward VIII, who abdicated the throne to “marry the woman I love”; but without avail. The ban will doubtless continue to stand, but not perpetually; at the longest only till the execution of Jehovah’s judgment at the battle of Armageddon.

Consolation.  March 31, 1943 p. 12

At Armageddon all the wicked will be dispensed with!

Consolation.  April 28, 1943 p. 5

 

They refer to this war as Armageddon, an old world before it, and a new one to follow. Jehovah God will completely, destroy this ‘present old evil world’ at His miraculously fought battle of Armageddon, still future, and thereafter His new world, Christ’s kingdom, not the Pacelli-Hitler “new order”, will have sole and supreme dominion throughout the earth, “from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.”-Psalm 72:8.

Consolation.  April 28, 1943 p. 8

 

The record says they “receive power as kings ONE HOUR with the beast”. “One hour,” with God, denotes a very brief time; and suddenly those ten horns and the beast will go into perdition, not peacefully, but violently, at the battle of Armageddon. This time the beast and its heads and horns will go, not into the”bottomless pit”, but into the “lake of fire and brimstone”, to be utterly consumed and destroyed.-Revelation 19:20; 20:10.

Consolation.  April 28, 1943 p. 13

 

Faithful continuance in well-doing, regardless of how near Armageddon is, was the firm resolve each Theocratic publisher carried away in his heart.

Consolation.  April 28, 1943 p. 14

 

These men believed in the word and promises of Almighty God and anxiously looked forward to the time when the battle of Armageddon would completely break the yoke of the oppressor and when the sovereignty of all governments would be removed from man and transferred to the duly constituted “King of kings, and Lord of lords”, Christ Jesus, in whom God will vest authority and power to rule over the people.

Consolation.  May 28, 1943 p. 4

 

This message of the kingdom or rulership of Christ Jesus as the sovereign power in The Theocracy is proclaimed by Jehovah’s witnesses to all people of good-will toward God that they may escape the great destructive tribulation at Armageddon, which is very near.

Amidst war, famine, pestilence, earthquakes, peace, prosperity, and depression the preaching of the gospel of God’s kingdom must go on unabated unto the end of the world at Armageddon.

Consolation.  May 28, 1943 p. 8

 

What will be the end of this depopulating process which “the king of the north” is carrying out all over Europe? The Scriptures show what will follow this accursed time. Armageddon! The thing that will follow, after Armageddon has done its cleansing work, will be that Satan will be chained: the demons that worked with him will be destroyed; the Hirdmen and the Gestapo will he silent in the Bible hell, along with all the other accursed nuisances which have made this beautiful earth an inferno.

Consolation.  May 28, 1943 p. 16

 

Hence such man-made arrangement will fail and be suddenly destroyed in the coming world disaster of the battle of Armageddon.

Consolation.  June 8, 1943 p. 17

 

The circumstances in which the people and the nations now find themselves present a clear, serious and immediate danger of destruction at Armageddon of every one who fails to take an intelligent stand on the side of Jehovah God and His kingdom.

The enlightenment and education of the people in these days of darkness in harmony with the above commandments has been carried on in the recent past and will continue to be carried on in the immediate future, clear on up to Armageddon, by virtue of and through the use and study of The Watchtower and kindred publications to the number of millions upon millions of copies.

Consolation.  July 7, 1943 p. 12

 

Bishop Manning could get a reunion with Harney, Hitler, Mussolini, Franco and Salazar by surrendering his keys to the pope. These are all members of the one big “church” that Manning sees afar off, but which is closer than he thinks. Every vestige of that “church” will disappear at Armageddon, and Manning’s along with it. So, maybe the idea of a reunion is not such a fine idea after all.

Consolation.  July 24, 1943 p. 24

 

“Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock [such as Franco, Mussolini, all catholics, and “principal” men]: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a vessel of desire.” (Jeremiah 25:34, margin) Armageddon will abolish the chanting hypocrites.

A danger, in its degree and extent never equaled in the course of history, now confronts all mankind. That great danger is: Inclusion with God’s enemies in their destruction at Armageddon!

Hence it must not. he mistaken to picture that the ‘great multitude’ after Armageddon will not have the divine mandate issued to them to be this time really carried out to a finality under the righteous overlord, The Theocracy. The requirement of virginity pictures that before Armageddon’s fight the Lord’s ‘other sheep’ must serve Jehovah at his temple in singleness of devotion to him.”

Consolation.  September 1, 1943 p. 30

 

Here the Watchtower article anticipates the wresting of the Jephthah picture by the “evil servant” class and others to attempt to disprove that the divine mandate will be issued to and carried out by Armageddon’s survivors, and beats such truth-distorters to the punch by refuting the argument before it was even made. 

Consolation.  September 1, 1943 p. 30

 

When the old “whore” goes to her eternal destruction in Armageddon there will be some Frenchmen and some of their unwelcome visitors from the East that will know that there is a God in heaven unmatched in any way by the god of Pacelli and Hitler, the “god of this world”, the Devil, the prince of darkness.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer, not having noticed that Europe has been a warring camp ever since the Roman Catholic Church got the bit in its teeth fifteen hundred years ago, and that the more power that institution gets, the worse conditions are and the less of real Christianity there is, feels that what is needed at this time is, not the entire housecleaning of hypocrisy and lies which Almighty God has promised shall take place at Armageddon, but a resurgence, a resurrection of more hypocrisy and lies.

Now the joyful message is being proclaimed, and “men of good-will” are being’ made glad by the news that the time of such manifestation is here and the glorious Son of God on His throne will vindicate the name and Word of His Father in the utter destruction of Satan the Devil and all his oppressive crowd at the battle of Armageddon now near.

Consolation.  February 16, 1944 p. 18

 

This reasoning is fallacy chiefly because it does not take into consideration the Lord’s announced vengeance against religion, foremost of which is Rome’s.  God warns to come out of that institution in order to avoid the evil He will inflict upon hypocritical religion in the coming squaring of accounts at Armageddon. -Revelation 18:4.

In its issue of December 23, the Pilot carries the full text of the phonograph record on “Armageddon”, and as this now has a new value on account of the outrages above described, it also is published in full, to show that the truth still goes out in Nigeria in spite of all efforts of the Devil to estop it. The men witnesses in prison for six months each for not falling on their faces before the native chief, and the women witnesses who have been hung up by their hands for hours, and those of both sexes who have been beaten until they could not walk, will hear about the “Armageddon” lecture or advertisement, whichever one chooses to call it, and the message will spread much farther and much faster than it would have done if there had been no persecution.  And so the defeat of persecution goes on until Jehovah God turns the tables once and for all at Armageddon itself. 

Consolation.  March 1, 1944 p. 23, 24

 

HAS THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON BEGUN? Scripturally the answer is, No! According to the meaning of “Armageddon” the battle bearing that name has not begun. The part of the name “Mageddon” (for Megiddo) means the place for the assembly of troops.

Consolation.  March 1, 1944 p. 24

 

A mountain symbolically represents Jehovah’s organization. Hence the word “Armageddon” means the high mountain or organization where the troops of Jehovah arc assembled or gathered together.

And all the other freedoms will follow Armageddon, and maybe, in many instances, they will come sooner. If you wish to see what a blessing this freedom of the Lord is in a time of unequaled distress and anxiety, just read this encouraging, bright, cheerful, sunny letter from one of Jehovah’s witnesses in southern France, who lives right in the midst of a great time of trouble and which time of trouble will be banished for ever at Armageddon.

You will have to read and study this book, “The Truth Shall Make You Free”, to appreciate how thoroughly and swiftly it enabled her to cover the whole grand story from the Bible for Uncle Dave, beginning with the description of the only real paradise and the only perfect world that have been, and which were models of the new one coming wherein this earth shall be a total garden of perpetual youth and beauty; and how an adversary entered upon the scene to disrupt God’s creative work, and why Jehovah has permitted that adversary a limited time to contest His domination of the universe; and that now this adversary, Satan the Devil, has reached his “time of the end”, because the last prophetic account of that Old Serpent’s organization is fulfilling its final form ere it goes into destruction at the battle of Armageddon.

Reasonably, this would have to be before the battle of Armageddon, because in that universal war between Jehovah’s organization and all the hosts of Satan in heaven and in earth, all of Satan’s organization and all those under it will be destroyed.

Light shed on Bible prophecy indicated that religion would ride the postwar governmental creation, and the many private audiences of the pope with Winston Churchill and Roosevelt’s personal representative, Myron Taylor, and other leaders were cited as her preparation to mount the “new order” beast.  Yet, as prophecy indicates, religion’s erstwhile lovers will turn on the old lady and unseat her; which means Armageddon’s beginning!
