ADMISSION FREE—NO COLLECTION What The Future Holds
For more than 100 years Jehovah's Witnesses have been serving warning notice that this world cannot last. They ask: Is it not high time to consider God's way if individuals are to find a sure hope for a better future?
Mankind's present world scene is bewildering. From a purely human point of view, the survival of the present world order is now being seriously questioned. Yet, how many persons today soberly are awake to the significance of these unparalleled conditions in the light of God's Word, the Bible?
Historians recognized that 1914 was a turning point. Since that year mankind has been living in a turbulent period of stupendous changes. What many do not realize is this: Bible prophecy shows our time to be a period of woe for mankind "because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time."-Revelation 12:12.
A day of reckoning is fast approaching. It will break out upon this generation in what Jesus Christ described as a "great tribulation." (Matthew 24:21) This will see the execution of God's judgment upon "Babylon the Great," the world empire of false religion, of which Christendom is the principal part. (Revelation 17:5, 12-18) Thereafter, all nations in opposition to God's kingdom will become involved in "the war of the great day of God the Almighty" and suffer everlasting defeat.—Revelation 16:14-16.
Finally, Satan the Devil and his wicked spirit forces will be plunged into the symbolic abyss of immobility. This will pave the way for the unhindered, earth-wide rule of God's kingdom for a thousand years. Revelation 20:1-3.
God's appointed time draws near for this world's abrupt and violent destruction. Righteously inclined persons who sense the danger of mankind's selfish, materialistic course are urged to heed the divine warning before it is too late. Jehovah's Witnesses, out of loving concern for their neighbors, are zealously preaching "this good news" of God's kingdom and are thus willing to help you. Learn how to survive this coming "great tribulation" and gain everlasting life on a Paradise earth.—Matthew 24:14; Revelation 21:3-5; Proverbs 2:21, 22.
