THE

BIBLE

CLEARLY

TEACHES

THAT

JEHOVAH

is

the

only

true

God,

from

everlasting

to

everlasting,

and

is

the

Maker

of

heaven

and

earth

and

Gi'l"er

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

Hfe;

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

above

every

other

creature

and

cJothed

him

with

all

vower

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

I'ightful

King

of

the

new

world;

that

the

:faithful

anointed

foHowers

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";

THAT

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

completel~'

in

the

earth;

and

that

under

the

Kingdom

the

people

of

good-will

sUI'vivlng

Armageddon

will

carry

out

the

divine

mandate

to

"fill

the

earth"

with

rl;:;hteous

offspring,

and

that

the

human

dead

in

the

graves

will

be

raised

to

opportunities

of

life

on

earth.

"PERMANENT

GOVERNOR

OF

ALL

NATIONS"

Scientific

advances

have

shrunk

the

earth

till

nations

on

opposite

sides

of

the

globe

are

as

next-door

neighbors.

But

the

work

of

mak

ing

them

good

neighbors

lags

far

behind.

Men

see

the

need

of

a

world

organization

able

to

erase

national

differences.

They

seek

to

meet

it

with

the

United

Nations.

Christendom's

clergy

join

hands

with

world

politicians,

bless

the

United

Nations,

and

hail

it

as

pav

ing

the

way

for

God's

kingdom.

But

does

it!

Does

it

hail

Jehovah

as

universal

sovereign'

or

Christ

as

permanent

governor

of

all

nations'

Can

it

ever

draft

God

and

Christ

into

roles

in

world

poli

tics'

The

Bible

and

physical

facts

answer

with

a

resounding

No!

This

answer,

bulwarked

with

abundant

proof,

came

to

large

audiences

in

the

United

States,

England,

West

Africa

and

South

Africa

when

the

president

of

the

Watchtower

Society

dellvered

the

lecture

entitled

"Permanent

Governor

of

.All

Nations".

Now

it

comes

to

a

much

larger

reading

public

in

booklet

form,

with

a

first

edition

of

5,000,000

to

launch

a

world-wide

distribution

campaign.

You

will

thrill

as

you

read

of

Jehovah's

purpose

for

this

earth,

how

its

inhabitants

will

be

united

under

a

perfect

and

permanent

governor,

and

how

blessings

defying

description

will

shower

down

unendingly.
