TO all of you who are associated with the New World society we say, prove your dedication by undertaking His service as prescribed in His Word, preaching "this good news of the kingdom" and declaring the "day of vengeance of our God."
Do this in unbreakable unity with the New World society, keeping your personal integrity to the Universal Sovereign under all tests that may come, enduring them to the finish. Joyfully following this Scripturally outlined course, then you may survive Armageddon into God's new world. Ministers of Jehovah's kingdom have traveled over the sands of time doing just that, and year by year
have made good progress in gathering the great crowd of other sheep. Jehovah has blessed their efforts as they walked in Jesus' footsteps. How many more will walk along and survive Armageddon we do not know, but we do know that those who continue to walk God will qualify to be His ministers. This grand "Triumphant Kingdom" assembly in Chicago, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Dallas, New York, London, Paris, Rome, Nuremberg, Stockholm and The Hague will help all of Jehovah's witnesses to keep themselves qualified as ministers and walking together in unity to the end of the way.—John 14:6.
