Jehovah.

of his purpose so to do. Long before the great deluge
 
swept away ‘‘the world that then was’’, God sent
 
Noah to serve notice upon the rulers and upon the
 
people of the impending disaster. Before he brought
 
the great calamity upon Egypt he sent Moses and
 
Aaron to give notice thereof. Before Jerusalem fell,
 
the Most High sent his duly commissioned prophets
 
to give notice of his purpose to express his righteous
 
indignation against those who had violated their cove-
 
nant with him. These things Jehovah did for his
 
name’s sake, that the people might know that Jeho-
 
vah is the true and almighty God. All that he then
 
did, on the occasions just mentioned, foreshadowed
 
what shall come upon ‘‘Christendom’’, that is to say,
 
upon all the nations that claim to be the people of
 
God, and the followers of Christ, and the practicers
 
of the ‘‘Christian religion’’, It should therefore be
 
expected that Jehovah would cause notice to be duly
 
served upon the rulers and the supporters of ‘‘Chris-
 
tendom’’, and that this notice would be served after
 
the coming of Christ to the temple of God.
 
Concerning the great day of God Almighty, when
 
his righteous indignation shall be expressed, Jesus
 
said to his followers: ‘‘And take heed to yourselves,
 
lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with sur-
 
feiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and
 
so that day come upon you unawares.”’ (Luke 21: 34)
 
These words serve a twofold purpose: (1) as a warn-
 
ing to all those-who are in the covenant for the king-
 
dom to be always on the alert to obey the command-
 
ments of Jehovah; and (2) as conclusive proof that
 
the great day of God Almighty shall witness the ex-
 
pression of his indignation upon ‘‘Christendom’’ and
 
which will completely destroy ‘‘Christendom’’ and
 
all parts of Satan’s organization. This scripture is
 
notice to the followers of Christ of that coming day
 
of righteous indignation of Jehovah, and lays upon
 
such the obligation of serving notice upon the world.
 
While it is true that the great day of God Al-
 
mighty comes upon many who have not gained a
 
knowledge, that lack of information will be no fault

of Jehovah God. When Jesus appeared at the temple
 
of Jehovah he announced: ‘‘The Lord is in his holy
 
temple; Iet all the earth keep silence before him.’’
 
(Hab. 2:20) This proves that the people must be told
 
that the day of judgment is at hand, and that all
 
must be given an opportunity to hear what the Word
 
of God has to say concerning the day of the great
 
battle of God Almighty. All who have agreed to do
 
his will are told to search the Scriptures, wherein the
 
expression of his will is found, and to study that they
 
may have the approval of God. (2 Tim. 2:15) The
 
followers of Christ are commanded thus to do, not
 
for their own personal gain, but that they might be
 
witnesses to others. These witnesses must inform others
 
concerning the will of God and serve notice upon them
 
that Jehovah is the only God. (Isa. 43:9-12) Con-
 
cerning the end of the world, the setting up of the
 
kingdom, and Jehovah’s battle at Armageddon, the
 
commandment is given that the faithful covenant peo-
 
ple of God must bear testimony thereof to the people.
 
It is plainly stated that the purpose is not to convert
 
the world, but to give notice to the nations. (Matt.
 
24:14) The giving of this notice or testimony must
 
continue ‘‘until the cities [every part of Satan’s
 
organization] be wasted without inhabitant’’. (Isa.
 
6:11) Nor is there any doubt about who shall de-
 
liver this testimony, or serve this notice, in the name
 
of the Lord Jchovah. It is his ‘‘remnant’’ people who
 
are faithful and true to their covenant and therefore
 
called ‘‘the faithful and true witness’’, and who prove
 
by their obedience to his commandments that they
 
are his. These are the ones that give the witness
 
Rev. 12: 17.
 
Jehovah sent his prophet Ezekiel to Israel to serve
 
notiee upon that people of his purpose to destroy their
 
city. Likewise God sends his witnesses forth today to
 
serve notice upon ‘‘Christendom”’ of his purpose to
 
destroy that wicked organization that his name may
 
be known in all the earth. Ezekiel served notice both
 
by word of mouth and by his action. Likewise God’s
 
witnesses serve notice by their words and their course
 
of action. The words of the speaker often fall upon
 
deaf ears, while his actions speak with greater force
 
and effect.
 
‘‘The word of the Lord also eame unto me, saying,
 
Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious
 
house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have
 
ears to hear, and hear not; for they are a rebellious
 
house.’’ (Ezek. 12:1,2) Ezekiel dwelt among a re-
 
bellious people. They might have heard, but they did
 
not; and this foreshadows that God’s faithful wit-
 
nesses on earth dwell among a rebellious people to
 
whom the message has been spoken, and the clergy
 
and the principal of their flock have not heard and
 
heeded. In 1914 and thereabout God’s faithful people
 
in the land of ‘‘Christendom’’ had spoken many words
 
of the truth, but the same had little or no effect upon
 
**Christendom’’,
