Isaiah
S4:I3.
THE
BIBLE
CLEARLY
TEACHES
THAT
JEHOVAH
Is
the
only
true
God,
from
everlasting
to
everlasting,
and
Is
the
lIIaker
of
heaven
and
earth
and
GIver
of
life
to
his
creatures;
that
the
Word
or
Logos
was
the
beginning
of
hIs
creatIon
and
hIs
active
agent
In
creating
all
other
things;
and
that
the
creature
Lucifer
rebelled
agaInst
Jehovah
and
raIsed
the
Issue
of
HIs
unIversal
sovereIgnty;
THAT
GOD
created
the
earth
for
man,
made
perfect
man
for
the
earth
and
placed
hIm
upon
It;
that
man
yIelded
to
unfaIthful
LucIfer,
or
Satan,
and
wIllfully
dIsobeyed
God's
law
and
was
sentenced
to
death;
that
by
reason
of
Adam's
wrong
act
all
men
are
born
sInners
and
without
the
right
to
life;
THAT
THE
LOGOS
was
made
human
as
the
man
Jesus
and
suf
fered
death
in
order
to
produce
the
ransom
or
redemptive
price
for
obedIent
men;
that
God
raIsed
up
ChrIst
Jesus
divIne
and
exalted
him
to
heaven
apove
every
other
creature
and
clothed
hIm
with
all
power
and
authorIty
as
head
of
God's
new
capItal
organIzatIon;
THAT
GOD'S
CAPITAL
ORGANIZATION
Is
a
Theocracy
called
Zion,
and
that
ChrIst
Jesus
is
the
Chief
Officer
thereof
and
is
the
rIghtful
King
of
the
new
world;
that
the
faithful
anoInted
followers
of
Christ
Jesus
are
Zion's
children,
members
of
Jehovah's
organization,
and
are
HIs
witnesses
whose
duty
and
privilege
It
Is
to
testify
to
Jehovah's
supremacy
and
declare
his
purposes
toward
mankind
as
expressed
In
the
Bible;
THAT
THE
OLD
WORLD,
or
Satan's
uninterrupted
rule,
ended
A.D.
1914,
and
Christ
Jesus
has
been
placed
by
Jehovah
upon
the
throne,
has
ousted
Satan
from
heaven,
and
now
proceeds
to
vIndIcate
HIs
name
and
establish
the
"new
earth":
THA
T
THE
RELIEF
and
blessIngs
of
the
peoples
can
come
only
by
Jehovah's
kIngdom
under
Christ,
whIch
has
begun;
that
HIs
next
great
act
Is
to
destroy
Satan's
organization
and
establish
rIghteousness
completely
In
the
earth;
and
that
under
the
Kingdom
the
people
of
good-wIll
surviving
Armageddon
wlil
carry
out
the
divine
mandate
to
"fill
the
earth"
with
righteous
offsprIng,
and
that
the
human
dead
In
the
graves
w111
be
raised
to
opportunIties
of

"JEHOVAH'S
CHRISTIAN
WITNESSES"
TESTIMONY
PERIOD
The
month
of
June,
designated
as
above,
started
off
the
four
month
campaign
of
reaching
out
into
the
extensive
rural
territory
with
the
message
of
Jehovah's
kingdom
by
his
Christ.
The
special
offer
featuring
the
campaign
is
that
of
three
bound
books
on
a
$1.00
contribution,
this
to
include,
if
possible,
the
Theo
cratic
ministry
school
book
"Equipped
for
Every
Good
Work"
and
"Let
God
Be
True"
along
with
one
other
WATCHTOWER
publica
tion.
Placed
alone,
"Equipped
for
Every
Good
Work"
will
con
tinue
to
be
offered
on
a
half-dollar
contribution.
In
view
of
the
worthiness
of
it,
preparations
for
this
expansion
work
should
go
forward
as
early
as
possible,
individually
and
collectively.
