"And

all

thy

children

shall

be

taught

of

Jehovah;

and

~reat

shall

be

the

peace

of

thy

children."

-Isaiah

54:IJ.

THE

SCRIPTURES

CLEARLY

TEACH

THAT

JEHOVAH

is

the

only

true

God,

is

from

everlasting

to

everlasting,

the

Maker

of

heaven

and

earth

and

the

Gn-er

of

life

to

his

creatures;

that

the

Logos

was

the

bCg"lnning

of

his

creation

and

his

active

agent

in

the

creatlOn

of

all

things;

that

the

Logos

is

now

the

Lord

Jesus

Christ

in

glory,

clothed

with

all

power

in

heaven

and

earth,

and

the

Cluef

Executive

Officer

of

Jehovah.

THAT

GOD

created

the

earth

for

man,

created

perfect

man

for

the

earth

and

placed

him

upon

it;

that

man

wl1fully

disobeyed

God's

law

and

was

sentenced

to

death;

that

by

reason

of

Adam's

wrong

act

all

men

are

born

smners

and

without

the

right

to

life.

THAT

JESUS

was

made

human,

and

the

man

JesUll

suf

fered

death

in

order

to

produce

the

ransom

or

redemptive

price

for

all

mankind;

that

God

raised

up

Jesus

divine

and

exalted

him

to

heaven

above

every

creature

and

above

every

name

and

clothed

him

with

all

power

and

authority.

THAT

JEHOVAH'S

ORGANIZATION

is

called

Zion,

and

that

Christ

Jesus

is

the

Chief

Officer

thereof

and

is

the

rightful

King

of

the

world;

that

the

anointed

and

faithful

followers

of

Christ

Jesus

are

children

of

Zion,

members

of

Jehovah's

organization,

and

are

his

witnesses

whose

duty

and

privilege

it

is

to

testify

to

the

supremacy

of

Jehovah,

declare

his

purposes

toward

mankind

as

expressed

in

the

Bible,

and

to

bear

the

fruits

of

the

kingdom

before

all

who

will

hear.

THAT

THE

WORLD

has

ended,

and

the

Lord

Jesus

Christ

has

been

placed

by

Jehovah

upon

his

throne

of

authority,

has

ousted

Satan

from

heaven

and

is

proceeding

to

the

establishment

of

God's

kingdom

on

earth.

THAT

THE

RELIEF

and

blessing-s

of

the

peoples

of

earth

can

come

only

by

and

through

Jehovah's

kingdom

under

Christ

which

has

now

begun;

that

the

Lord's

next

great

act

is

the

destruction

of

Satan's

organization

and

the

estab·

lishment

of

righteousness

in

the

earth,

and

that

under

the

kingdom

all

those

who

will

obey

its

righteous

laws

shall

be

restored

and

live

on

earth

forever.
