BROOKLYN, 
N. 
i. 
prophet 
here 
declares: 
" 
Behold, 
I 
have 
created 
the 
smith 
that 
bloweth 
the 
coals 
in 
the 
fire, 
and 
that 
bringeth 
forth 
an 
instrument 
for 
his 
work; 
and 
I 
have 
created 
the 
waster 
to 
destroy.' 
'-Isa. 
54: 
16. 
12 
Then 
the 
Lord 
God 
addresses 
his 
words 
of 
full 
assurance 
to 
his 
organization. 
The 
children 
of 
his 
woman 
Zion 
are 
Jehovah's 
children, 
and 
these 
have 
been 
brought 
into 
the 
secret 
place 
of 
the 
l\lost 
High. 
From 
henceforth 
and 
forever 
these 
must 
and 
will 
be 
victorious, 
because 
the 
hand 
of 
Jehovah 
is 
over 
them 
and 
his 
great 
chief 
executive 
officer 
is 
leading 
in 
the 
fight. 
The 
individual 
members 
of 
Zion 
need 
only 
to 
fear 
by 
reason 
of 
their 
own 
failure 
in 
showing 
full 
and 
complete 
devotion 
to 
Jehovah 
God. 
Zion 
has 
the 
full 
assurance 
that 
her 
children 
shall 
be 
pro­ 
tected. 
As 
long 
as 
one 
is 
a 
child 
of 
God 
and 
there­ 
fore 
of 
God's 
organization 
ther(' 
is 
no 
occasion 
to 
fear 
anything 
that 
the 
enemy 
may 
do. 
Satan 
has 
formed 
every 
possible 
weapon 
against 
the 
children 
of 
Zion; 
but 
his 
weapons 
shall 
not 
prevail 
against 
the 
people 
of 
God. 
To 
Zion 
and 
therefore 
to 
all 
of 
her 
children 
Jehovah 
now 
says: 
IINo 
weapon 
that 
is 
formed 
against 
thee 
shall 
prosper; 
and 
every 
tongue 
that 
shall 
rise 
against 
thee 
in 
judgment 
thou 
shalt 
condemn. 
This 
is 
the 
heritage 
of 
the 
servants 
of 
the 
Lord; 
and 
their 
righteousness 
is 
of 
me, 
saith 
the 
Lord. 
"-Isa. 
54: 
17. 
IS 
It 
is 
the 
voice 
of 
Jehovah 
that 
speaks 
with 
as­ 
surance 
now 
to 
his 
people, 
and 
he 
tells 
them 
that 
they 
shall 
lmow 
his 
name 
and 
that 
he 
is 
their 
shield 
and 
that 
he 
will 
get 
the 
victory 
for 
his 
organization. 
In 
this 
day 
of 
Jehovah 
he 
is 
bringing 
to 
pass 
events 
that 
are 
in 
fulfilment 
of 
his 
prophetic 
word, 
and 
he 
is 
showing 
his 
people 
that 
these 
things 
that 
come 
to 
pass 
do 
fulfil 
his 
word. 
He 
gives 
them 
a 
vision 
of 
his 
other 
marvelous 
things 
that 
shall 
shortly 
come 
to 
pass, 
and 
this 
he 
does 
for 
their 
aid 
and 
comfort 
and 
encouragement. 
"Let 
the 
children 
of 
Zion 
be 
joyful 
in 
their 
King. 
For 
the 
Lord 
taketh 
pleasure 
in 
his 
people; 
he 
will 
beautify 
the 
meek 
(those 
whom 
he 
teaches] 
with 
salvation." 
(Ps. 
149: 
2,

"The 
Lord 
shall 
reign 
for

God, 
0

unto

330 prophet here declares: ‘‘Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have ereated the waster to destroy.’’—Isa. 54: 16. 32 Then the Lord God addresses his words of full assurance to his organization. The children of his woman Zion are Jehovah’s children, and these have been brought into the secret place of the Most High. From henceforth and forever these must and will be victorious, because the hand of Jehovah is over them and his great chief executive officer is leading in the fight. The individual members of Zion need only to fear by reason of their own failure in showing full and complete devotion to Jehovah God. Zion has the full assurance that her children shall be protected. As long as one is a child of God and therefore of God’s organization there is no occasion to fear anything that the enemy may do. Satan has formed every possible weapon against the children of Zion; but his weapons shall not prevail against the people of God. To Zion and therefore to all of her children Jehovah now says: ‘‘No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord; and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.’’—Isa. 54: 17. *81t is the voice of Jehovah that speaks with assurance now to his people, and he tells them that they shall know his name and that he is their shield and that he will get the victory for his organization. In this day of Jehovah he is bringing to pass events that are in fulfilment of his prophetic word, and he is showing his people that these things that come to pass do fulfil his word. He gives them a vision of his other marvelous things that shall shortly come to pass, and this he does for their aid and comfort and encouragement. ‘‘Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people; he will beautify the meek [those whom he teaches] with salvation.’’ (Ps. 149:2,4) ‘‘The Lord shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the Lord.’’—Ps. 146: 10. QUESTIONS FOR BEREAN STUDY { 1. What particular points of present truth must be clearly seen in order to understand and appreciate the many great truths which Jehovah has given to his people in recent ears? 7 2.) To whom were the words of Genesis 3:15 addressed? Identify ‘‘the woman’? and ‘‘her seed’’, there mentioned. What is meant by ‘the seed of the serpent’? { 3. Apply the names ‘‘Zion’’ and ‘‘Jerusalem’’. { 4. Who and what were pictured in God’s promise to Abraham and Sarah that they should have a seed? The long ‘delay’, and in due time the fulfilment of the promise, foreshadowed what? 45. In points of what each represented, identify the ‘*bond Fhe WATCHTOWER. Brookuyn, N. ¥. maid - and the ‘‘frea woman’? referred to in Galatians : 22, 23. { 6, 7. Describe the occasion on which the statement of Genesis 3:15 was made. What, in substance, was expressed therein? When and how did Jehovah proceed to materialize his purpose to bring forth the promised seed? { 8 What is the application, and time thereof, of Psalm 110: 1% Of Psalms 110: 2 and 2:64 When and how was Isaiah 66: 7 fulfilled? { 9-11. Apply Isaiah 54:7 aa to time and manner of fulfilment. Also verse 8. What is the connection therewith of verses 9 and 10% In the meantime what has been the course pursued by the enemy? What great event in heaven immediately followed the birth of the man child? Point out the harmony of Revelation 12:12 with Issiah’s prophecy, { 12, 13. What clearly associated events took place in 1918? When and how was the statement fulfilled, ‘‘As soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children’’? { 14, 15. In Isaiah 54:13, the term ‘‘thy children’? applies to whomf ‘‘Shall be taught of the Lord’’: how and when? ¢ 16, 17. Distinguish between two classes that have had opportunity yet have not come to a clear understanding of the great truths which the Lord has set before his people since 1918. What is it that determines whether one not now seeing these truths shall yet come to an understanding and appreciation of them? 7 18, 19. Explain as to whether the matter appearing in The Watchtower since 1922 differs from that which appeared prior thereto. Just why have some regarded this as justifying opposition, while others have understood and appreciated it and have been blessed? { 20, 21. ‘*All thy children shall be taught of the Lord.’’ How has this been accomplished? { 22. Aa to source, nature, and manner in which they were brought to light and taught, compare the truths received by God’s people from 1875 to 1918 with those received by them since then. To whom, therefore, is the honor due for all the truth received then or since? To what conclusion and course of action should an appreciation of this fact immediately lead? { 23, 24. Then how shall we correctly account for the change of work and teaching of God’s children since 1918, and the volume of additional important truths which they have come to understand and appreciate since then? { 25. Referring to John 14: 20: ‘‘In that day ye shall know.’? Who shall know? Know what? How? What shall be the evidence of such knowledge and appreciation? { 26. Explain Hebrews 5: 13, 14. { 27. Account for the fact that some, though having a comparatively clear knowledge of the truths which God gave to his people during the Elijah period of the church, have failed to understand and appreciate even the most prominent truths which the Lord has given to his people since that time. How may some of these yet by their own experience prove the truth expressed in Isaiah 54:13, here under consideration? { 28, 29. Describe the present situation, as referred to in Isaiah 54:15, and the outcome thereof to each class referred to in that text. q{ 30. To whom, and how, does Isaiah 54 apply? How is Revelation 12:17 related to Isaiah 54: 13, 14? { 31. Why is the enemy referred to as the ‘‘waster’’? What is meant by the statement, ‘‘I have created the waster to destroy’’? { 32, 33, Who, then, are the children of God’s woman Zion? Where are they privileged to abide? For their aid, comfort and encouragement Jehovah has made what provision (a) for their knowing him and his purposes? (b) For their proving that they truly love himf (c) For their protection rom the enemy? FEAR YE NOT, neither be afraid: have I not declared unto thee of old, and showed tt? and ye are my wrinesses, Is there @ God, besides me? yea, there is no Rock; I know not any. —Jehovah,
