1938 Warning

The result of the battle of Armageddon will be so terrible that human language cannot adequately describe it.

Warning. 1938. p. 6

Jesus warned Jerusalem of her near destruction, and the apostle Peter under command of the Lord said concerning the impending battle of Armageddon: “The heavens and the earth, which arc now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.” (2 Peter 3:7) The warnings given by Noah, Jeremiah, Jesus and Peter, and the destruction that followed, were typical, foretelling the great and final tribulation at the battle of Armageddon.

Warning. 1938. p. 7, 8

Let all persons take warning now that God has decreed that all who hold to and practice religion after having been warned shall die at Armageddon; that all those who flee to God and take their stand firmly on the side of Jehovah and his King Christ Jesus shall live.

Warning. 1938. p. 19

That will mark the beginning of Armageddon, in which the religionists and their organizations shall first be destroyed. Then the Scriptures furthermore show that when the radical rulers have destroyed religion, they will attempt to destroy all of Jehovah’s anointed servants and their companions, the “great multitude”. (Revelation 7: 9-17)

Warning. 1938. p. 26

Thus God foretells what shall shortly come to pass at Armageddon.

Warning. 1938. p. 56

This is the day of the vengeance and vindication of Jehovah God, and we have full faith in God’s declaration that everything in opposition to him and his kingdom must and shall fall at the battle of Armageddon.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, by reading the foregoing pages of this booklet. How you will take the warning is NOW UP TO YOU. To escape with your life when Armageddon comes, you will take the God-given advice as above quoted.

Such witness work is now in progress and must be finished before Armageddon.

Face the Facts. 1938. p. 10

From the throne of heaven comes in thundering tones the answer, “No!” Such is Jehovah’s “strange work”, which he commands must be done by his witnesses immediately preceding Armageddon, and nothing can stop it until God says, “It is done.”

Face the Facts. 1938. p. 21, 22

It is the expressed will of Jehovah that every true Christian today shall continue to proclaim the name of Jehovah and his kingdom until Armageddon.

Face the Facts. 1938. p. 22

At the battle of Armageddon Christ Jesus, leading his invincible army, will slay you and give your dead carcasses to the fowls of the air and to the wild beasts of the earth, and all creation shall know that Jehovah is the Almighty God, that Christ Jesus is the rightful Ruler of the world and the Vindicator of God’s word and name, and that Jehovah can put men on earth who will remain true to him.”

Face the Facts. 1938. p. 24

Such is the antitypical city of refuge (Numbers 35:6-32), and only those who flee from Satan’s rule and take their stand on the side of God and Christ will find protection and safety at Armageddon, After Armageddon begins will be too late to flee, and therefore God commands that the warning be given now, and that is why Jehovah’s witnesses are giving it.

Face the Facts. 1938. p. 25, 26

If the name of Jehovah God is vindicated by and through his kingdom, the totalitarian combine and all rule under Satan must perish. The issue shall be settled soon at Armageddon.

Face the Facts. 1938. p. 27

Face the Facts. 1938. p. 28

Now we see the Jonadabs hurrying to the Lord and forming the “great multitude”, and they must all be gathered before Armageddon begins, even as Noah’s family had to be taken into the ark before the deluge began.

Face the Facts. 1938. p. 28, 29

The flood and the devastation it wrought, therefore, was a picture of Armageddon, the great day of God Almighty, and the destructive work it will do.

Face the Facts. 1938. p. 38

In fulfillment of that part of the picture Christ Jesus has built God’s capital organization, unto or under which the Jonadabs must be immersed, baptized or submerged out of sight and completely separated and hidden from Satan’s organization. Under the protection of the Lord’s organization they may be safely carried over Armageddon. (Zephaniah 2:1-4)

Face the Facts. 1938. p. 41

They must study to know God’s will and must be diligent to obey his commandments. They must be faithful; they must be entirely devoted to God’s kingdom, and must keep themselves separate from the world, refusing to participate in any worldly schemes. Thus doing they have God’s promise to be carried over Armageddon.

Face the Facts. 1938. p. 43

The purpose of the deluge was to clear the earth of the wicked; and likewise the very purpose of Armageddon is to clear the earth of the present-day wicked ones.

Face the Facts. 1938. p. 44

That seems clearly to refer to the comfort and rest that will come when Armageddon has ended and the earth is completely cleaned out of all the wicked.

Face the Facts. 1938. p. 45

Such words also must be a part of the prophetic drama foretelling how God will carry out his purpose to fill the earth with righteous people following Armageddon.

Face the Facts. 1938. p. 45

Since the great multitude will be the only ones that shall survive Armageddon, and they being counted righteous in God’s sight because of their faith and obedience, it follows that God will use those human creatures to carry out his mandate to fill the earth.

Face the Facts. 1938. p. 45

If only a few millions survive Armageddon, what may those few millions do under the direction of Christ Jesus during the period of the thousand-year reign?

Face the Facts. 1938. p. 46

This is proof that the class pictured by those taken into the ark will be counted righteous by reason of their faith and obedience, and which is evidenced by their being carried over Armageddon. The Scriptures fully support the conclusion that the filling of the earth is not due to begin before, but after Armageddon.

Face the Facts. 1938. p. 47

It will be far better to be unhampered and without burdens, that they may do the Lord’s will now, as the Lord commands, and also be without hindrance during Armageddon.

After Armageddon the the willful of God’s law will be gone from the earth.

Face the Facts. 1938. p. 48

There appears to be no Scriptural reason why Armageddon will dissolve the marriage ties of the Jonadabs existing before Armageddon, and which Jonadabs survive Armageddon.

Face the Facts. 1938. p. 49

Children born to the Jonadabs before Armageddon must come under the redemptive provision made through Christ Jesus.

Face the Facts. 1938. p. 51

The flood was for the purpose of cleansing the earth of wickedness then existing, and it was a type, the fulfillment of which will be the battle of Armageddon and which will clean the earth of all wickedness.

The period of time elapsing from the restated mandate to Noah until the coming of the kingdom God has employed, amongst other things, to take out “a people for his name” (Acts 15:14), and he has commanded that those so taken out must be his witnesses, proclaim his name and his kingdom throughout the earth, and do this just preceding Armageddon. That “strange work” is now in progress and soon shall be finished.

Face the Facts. 1938. p. 57

It will be finished according to God’s will. Immediately thereafter shall follow the battle of Armageddon, at which time there will first be destroyed all the religious institutions and all who use religion to blaspheme and defame God’s name and to exalt men.

Face the Facts. 1938. p. 57

Armageddon is near, and the conclusion of God’s “strange work” is nearer.

Face the Facts. 1938. p. 58

The only ones who will survive Armageddon will be God’s faithful children and those who flee to the Lord’s kingdom, and who will therefore be carried through the great baptism of fire at Armageddon, and who shall then stand as righteous men and women before the Lord, forming the great multitude.

Some questions were asked in Kenner regarding Judge Rutherford. “Who is he?” “lie is a religious Communist who assumes to be the only one, save God, who knows exactly when Armageddon, the battle on Judgment Day, is to come.”

There is no use trying to correct all the lies of an outfit that has not a shred of honesty or truthfulness in it, but it is some satisfaction to take note of the fact that Judge Rutherford is not religious, but the exact opposite of it, a Christian; is not a Communist, but despises Communism as much as he does Fascism (Catholic Action); and has repeatedly· stated that no one knows when Armageddon will be fought, but all signs show it is at the door.

The Battle of Armageddon is at hand. Shame on him who says that Jehovah can be defeated. Who are we? Are we not n mere dust? He who can not acknowledge Jehovah openly as God is a hypocrite and should hide his face in the coming Battle of Armageddon which is now visible to human eyes.
