54:I3.
THE
BIBLE
CLEARLY
TEACHES
THAT
JEHOVAH
is
the
only
true
God,
from
everlasting
to
everlasting,
and
is
the
Maker
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
ali
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
yieided
to
unfaithful
Lucifer,
or
Satan,
and
wlllfully
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
Hfe;
THAT
THE
LOGOS
was
made
human
as
the
man
Jesus
and
suf·
fered
denth
in
order
to
produce
the
ransom
or
redemptive
price
for
obedient
men;
that
God
raised
up
Christ
Jesus
divine
and
exalted
him
to
heaven
above
every
other
creature
and
clothed
him
with
all
power
and
authority
as
head
of
God's
new
capital
organization;
THAT
GOD'S
CAPITAL
ORGA.."lIZATION
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
deciare
his
purposes
toward
mankind
as
expressed
in
the
Bible;
THAT
THE
OLD
WORLD,
or
Satan's
uninterrupted
ruie,
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
establlsh
the
"new
earth";
THAT
THE
RELIEF
and
blessings
of
the
peoples
can
come
only
by
Jehovah's
kingdom
under
Christ,
wbich
has
begun;
that
His
next
great
act
is
to

orgaDlzation
and

ROO
The
Watchtower
is
a
magazine
without
equal
in
the
earth,
and
is
conceded
this
rank
by
all
that
have
been
faithful
readers
thereof
during
its
more
than
seventy
years
of
publicatlOn.
The
TV
atchtotcer
has
lDcreased
in
importance
with
the
progress
of
the
years,
and
never
has
it
been
more
valuable
than
today,
at
this
world
crISis,
when
the
destroy
of
each
intelligent
human
creature
is
bemg
de
cided.
The
getting
of
correct
infol'lDation
and
instruction,
Just
such
as
required
for
the
times,
to
decide
your
course
wisely
to
a
happy
destiny,
was
never
more
vital
than
now,
for
"where
there
is
no
VISion,
the
people
perish".
Informed
persons
well
acquainted
WIth
the
consistent
contents
of
The
Watchtower
agree
that
those
who
want
to
gain
life
in
peace
and
happiness
without
end
should
read
and
study
it
together
with
the
Bible
and
in
company
WIth
other
readers.
This
is
not
giving
any
credit
to
the
magazine's
publishers,
but
is
due
to
the
great
Author
of
the
Bible
,nth
its
truths
and
prophecies,
md
who
now
interprets
its
prophecies.
He
it
is
that
makes
possible
the
matenal
that
is
published
in
the
columns
of
this
magazine
and
who
gives
promise
that
it
shall
continue
to
publish
the
advancing
truths
.as
long
as
it
contir:ues
to
exist
for
the
service
of
the
interests
of
his
