(Dan. 5:6) It was in 1928 that the Lord caused his remnant to make a declaration of Jehovah's judgement which is written against Satan and all of his organization, and to give warning that all who would live must take the side of Jehovah.

(Isa. 13:6-8) While they are howling evidently Jehovah laughs at them. -Ps. 2:4.
