| + | Când Iehova i-a alungat pe Adam și pe Eva din Eden, el a pronunțat, de asemenea, o condamnare împotriva Satanei. El a spus despre Satana și despre femeia care simbolizează organizația universală a lui Dumnezeu: „Voi pune vrăjmășie între... sămânța ta și sămânța ei; ea îți va zdrobi capul și tu îi vei zdrobi călcâiul”. (Gen. 3:15) Din acel moment, Satana, marele adversar, a încercat să îi distrugă pe toți cei pe care Dumnezeu i-a favorizat și despre care Satana credea că ar putea constitui sămânța făgăduinței.}} |
| − | When Jehovah drove Adam and Eve from Eden he
| |
| − | likewise pronounced a condemnation upon Satan. He
| |
| − | said concerning Satan and concerning the woman who
| |
| − | symbolizes God’s universal organization: ‘‘I will put
| |
| − | enmity between ... thy seed and her seed; it shall
| |
| − | bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.’’ (Gen.
| |
| − | 3:15) From that time forward Satan the great ad-
| |
| − | versary has attempted to destroy every one whom
| |
| − | God has favored and who Satan thought might con-
| |
| − | stitute the seéd of promise.
| |
| − | Jehovah has given to Satan four separate and dis-
| |
| − | tinct names, all of which have a deep significance.
| |
| − | Besides the name Satan he is designated as the Dragon,
| |
| − | that old Serpent, and the Devil. The name Dragon
| |
| − | means devourer or destroyer; and Satan has at all
| |
| − | times been secking to destroy or devour Jesus and
| |
| − | his true followers, who constitute the seed of promise.
| |
| − | She WATCHTOWER. 63
| |
| − | His name Satan indicates adversary; and he has op-
| |
| − | posed in every way the development of the new crea-
| |
| − | tion, consisting of Jesus and his bride, the church.
| |
| − | His name Serpent means deceiver; and he has applied
| |
| − | all his wily methods to deceive, and, as Jesus has de-
| |
| − | clared, he would deceive, if possible, the very elect,
| |
| − | but God will not permit him thus to do, Tis title
| |
| − | Devil means slanderer; and he has constantly carried
| |
| − | on a campaign of slanderous propaganda against the
| |
| − | people of God even unto this day, and has never lost
| |
| − | an opportunity to try in his various ways to destroy
| |
| − | them.
| |
| − | Indisputable proof from the Seriptures shows
| |
| − | that Jesus’ mortal enemy the Devil guided the so-
| |
| − | called ‘‘wise men’’ in his plot to wreak destruction
| |
| − | on the holy child.

| − | LETTERS
| |
| − | NEED THE LORD'S KINGDOM
| |
| − | Dear Reeturen;
| |
| − | In the middle of October, when I started for Parry island
| |
| − | from Honey Harbor, Ont., on the Georgian bay, by boat, we
| |
| − | ran inte bad weather und crawled along the shore for nearly
| |
| − | two weeks before getting there. IT had my own house on the
| |
| − | island, but my son, uge 22, single, lives in it. It wasn’t Jong
| |
| − | before £ knew he was working uguinst me und the Lord’s
| |
| − | work. Tcan nvither rend nor write, but speak Indian, French
| |
| − | and English, My husband has the truth also, and he can read,
| |
| − | and that helps me along, but I know the Lord makes everything
| |
| − | clear to me so Fo can explain the books by the name,
| |
| − | I walked for miles to reach the outlying distriets, and took
| |
| − | my boat where I couldn’t walk, Had some good experiences
| |
| − | and found some interested, The Pentecostals are holding meet~
| |
| − | ings on the island and go from house to house each evening.
| |
| − | Some neighbors brought the preacher to see me, but he dida’t
| |
| − | know then that I was working on the island too. So I told
| |
| − | him, and he said To bad no backing and that he was backed
| |
| − | by the government. So [ said, ‘‘ Yes, Satan’s government, and
| |
| − | he was their god and will svon be destroyed.’? He was very
| |
| − | angry and left. Soon atter this I had a summons charging me
| |
| − | with selling books and causing mischief on the reserve and
| |
| − | also fur holding meetings in my home and trying to get the
| |
| − | people away from the churches,
| |
| − | I had to go to the court in Parry Sound, so I took a few
| |
| − | books with me to show them that I was doing the Lord’s work,
| |
| − | The crown attorney knows me; go he said, ‘‘Ifello, Julia, what
| |
| − | have yuu been doing??? So I told him, and I know the Lord
| |
| − | was with me. The judge asked me if I was going around with
| |
| − | these books during the week, and I told him I was, and on
| |
| − | Sundays too, and I don’t care what they do to me, that I
| |
| − | would keep on with it as the Lord commands. So the judge
| |
| − | said, ‘*This woman has done nothing that is wrong. You are
| |
| − | discharged.’? Before I left I gave them a good witness; so
| |
| − | they laughed, and said nothing will come out of it.
| |
| − | After I went back to the island my house wag filled with
| |
| − | people every night while I stayed. I got some of them to read
| |
| − | and ask questions. My son hit me twice because he didn’t
| |
| − | like it. I placed 8 bound books and 30 booklets and found
| |
| − | there two Christian brothers who are sincere. Some of the
| |
| − | homes had the books, a3 the pioneers had been there sometime.
| |
| − | The demons are very busy among the Indians with the
| |
| − | ‘*medicine man’? trick, The secret is known to all, and there
| |
| − | are many deaths through it. It’s a piece of root that 19 eaten
| |
| − | when they want revenge on one and the other, and they go
| |
| − | through a ceremony, and there is no satisfaction until the
| |
| − | victim is dead. Lately there have been us high as five deaths
| |
| − | within a week through it. They sure need the Lord’s kingdom.
| |
| − | Thanking the Lord for this privilege of taking the message
| |
| − | to Parry island,
| |
| − | A Kingdom worker,
| |
| − | Mrs. Junra Simons,
| |
| − | TO HELP OTHERS GAIN THE KNOWLEDGE
| |
| − | Deak Broruen LeruenrorD:
| |
| − | May I thank you for your wonderful helps in studying the
| |
| − | Biblef About ten years ago one of the Bible students came
| |
| − | to see us, and I chased him off the porch with a broom. I
| |
| − | sure am sorry for that. Now I am out doing witness work
| |
| − | for Jehovah.
| |
| − | My husband John and I were married twelve years ago.
| |
| − | Iwas a Lutheran; he was brought up a Mennonite. When
| |
| − | we married he started to go with me to church. About four
| |
| − | or five years ago we started to wonder why there were so
| |
| − | many different churches. ‘Then later we wondered why Jesus
| |
| − | had to go to hell for three days, We thought, then what
| |
| − | chance hud a poor sinner like us? All these years a few
| |
| − | things (like thut and some more) made us wonder if our
| |
| − | church was teaching us the truth. We were half sick about it.
| |
| − | Finally, about eight months ago, we happened to tune in on
| |
| − | the Sunday forum. You know what we heard, We could hardly
| |
| − | wait for each Sunday to come around. We used to say to each
| |
| − | other, ‘‘If we could only understand tho Bible like that’?
| |
| − | Then, about five months ago, we prayed specially fur the
| |
| − | Lord to guide ua to the mght road and, if necessary, to give
| |
| − | us a push on to it. We felt that the road was there 1f we only
| |
| − | could find it. Well, the next morning one of Jehovah's wit-
| |
| − | messes caine to the door with a bovklet, just what we wanted,
| |
| − | We sent for a set of books, and read one (The Harp of God),
| |
| − | We saw the truth right away.
| |
| − | We hunted up the company here in C and started out
| |
| − | in the witness work right away. We did not want anything to
| |
| − | do with the Devil’s world, so we cashed ia all our insuranee
| |
| − | and used the moncy to pay up all our bills, and put away just
| |
| − | enough to bury us. We had just enough left to buy ourselves
| |
| − | a good Bible. | |
| − | We finished up all our worldly things and cut the last string
| |
| − | with Satan’s organization on Thursday, October 19, 1933. On
| |
| − | Friday, October 20, 1933, my husband came home sick, and
| |
| − | died of pneumonia on the 27th of October, 1935. We were
| |
| − | out in the service two times together before he died. Now I
| |
| − | must go ahead by myself with God’s help. If I did not have
| |
| − | the comfort of knowing the truth I don’t know what 1 would
| |
| − | do. I love him and miss him, but I know the time is short
| |
| − | till we shall meet again, never to part any more, and to work
| |
| − | together again to the honor and glory of Jehovah’s name.
| |
| − | The last thing my husband John spoke of before he died was the
| |
| − | ‘highway’? and that he would be made new again. ‘*God
| |
| − | bless you and help you.’’
| |
| − | I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your good-
| |
| − | ness in writing those books for us to understand the bible.
| |
| − | Jam doing ail I can to help others gain the knowledge my
| |
| − | husband and I did. We have a little girl, six years old, who
| |
| − | is learning ail about Jehovah God and Christ Jesus, I remain
| |
| − | Your sister in Jehovah,
| |
| − | Mus,
| |
| − | H——, Ohio.
