that

the

was

the

beginning

of

his

Jesus

Christ

in

clothed

with

all

power

in

heaven

and

earth,

and

the

Chief

Executive

Officer

of

Jehovah.

THAT

GOD

created

the

earth

for

man,

created

perfect

man

for

the

earth

and

placed

him

upon

it;

that

man

willfully

dis

obeyed

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

JESUS

was

made

human,

and

the

man

Jesus

suffered

death

in

order

to

produce

the

ransom

or

redemptive

price

for

of

mankind;

that

God

and

exalted

him

to

above

every

and

:lbove

every

name

and

clothed

him

with

THAT

Theocracy

called

Zion,

and

that

Christ

Jesus

Is

the

Chief

Officer

thereof

and

is

the

ful

King

of

the

world;

that

the

and

faithful

followers

of

ChrIst

Jesus

are

children

of

Zion,

members

of

Jehovah's

organiza

tion,

and

it

Is

to

declare

his

purposes

toward

mankind

as

expressed

in

the

Bible,

and

to

bear

the

fruIts

of

the

kingdom

before

THAT

THE

WORLD

has

ended,

and

the

Lord

Jesus

Christ

has

been

placed

by

Jehovah

upon

his

throne

of

authority,

has

ousted

Satan

from

come

only

by

and

through

klDgdom

under

which
