THE

SCRIPTURES

CLEARLY

TEACH

THAT

JEHOVAH

is

the

only

true

God

and

is

from

everlasting

to

everlasting,

the

Maker

of

heaven

and

earth

and

the

Giver

of

life

to

his

creatures;

that

the

Logos

was

the

beginning

of

his

creation,

and

his

active

agent

in

the

creation

of

all

other

thing~,

and

is

now

the

Lord

Jesus

Christ

in

glory,

clothed

with

all

power

in

heaven

and

earth,

as

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

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

BUlTered

death

m

order

to

produce

the

ransom

or

redemptive

price

for

obedient

ones

of

mankmd;

that

God

raised

up

Jesus

divme

and

exalted

him

to

heaven

above

every

other

creature

and

above

every

creature's

name

and

clothed

him

with

all

power

and

authority;

THAT

GOD'S

CAPITAL

ORGANIZATION

Is

a

Theocracy

called

Zion,

and

that

Christ

Jesus

is

the

ChIef

Officer

thereof

and

Is

the

rightful

Kmg

of

the

world;

that

the

anointed

and

faithful

followers

of

Christ

Jesus

are

children

of

Zion,

members

of

Jehovah's

organization,

and

are

his

witnesses

whose

duty

and

privilege

it

is

to

testify

to

the

supremacy

of

Jehovah,

declare

his

purposes

toward

mankind

as

expressed

in

the

BIble,

and

to

bear

the

frUIts

of

the

Kingdom

before

all

who

will

hear;

THAT

THE

OLD

WORLD

ended

in

A.

D.

1914,

and

the

Lord

Jesus

Christ

has

been

placed

by

Jehovah

upon

his

throne

of

authority,

has

ousted

Satan

from

heaven

and

is

proceeding

to

the

establishment

of

the

"new

earth"

of

the

New

Worldj

THAT

THE

RELIEF

and

blessings

of

the

peoples

of

earth

can

come

only

by

and

through

Jehovah's

kmgdom

under

Christ,

which

has

now

begun;

that

the

Lord's

next

great

act

is

the

destruction

of

Satan's

orgamzatlon

and

the

complete

establish

ment

of

rIghteousness

in

the

earth,

and

Kmgdom
