e WAICHIOWER AND HERALD OF CHRISTS PRESENCE Vou. LV NoveMBerR 15, 1934 No, 22 FEAST OF CONSPIRATORS “Por they cat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.’’—Prov. 4: 17. PART 2 mony to Ilis name. Daniel stood out separate and distinct. from all incen of Babylon. Jehovah has taken out from the world (which is antitypieal Baby- lon) men and women whom he has anointed and ap- pointed to be his witnesses, and these must stand out separate and distinet from all men of the world. It is the name of Jehovah God that is involved, and the vindication of his name was the paramount issue in Daniel’s day. That is still the paramount issue, and which issue must now be definitely scttled in the right way. Men are of little importance, but the name of Jehovah is all-important; hence all divine prophecy should be examined with this thought in mind: that the principal reason for these prophetic pietures aud the fulfilment thereof is the vindication of Jehovali’s name, and what men have to do therewith and what is the result to men are of secondary importance. 2 Daniel had been in Babylon for several years, and in that time had proved himself a faithful and true witness to the name of God. Ife was of good old age, and still the Lord God would use him to bear testi- mony. For approximately 1,900 years God has been taking out from the world his church and using those thus seleeted to be his witnesses, and now, even in the old ave of the church, in these last days the faithful are having greater opportunities of bearing testimony to Jeliovah’s name, The picture made in connection with the appearing of Danicl before the king of Baby- lon strongly indicates that the remnant would in these last days he given a greater privilege and responsi- bility to be witnesses to the name of the Most High and to bear before rulers of this world testimony to Jehovah’s name and to his kingdom. The mother queen had coneluded her speceh before his royal maj- esty, and the king, giving heed thereto, had Daniel brought before him. ‘Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry???’ (Dan, 5:18) The bringing of Daniel before the king was a last resort of Bel- shazzar, and after his wise men had utterly failed. J inony to had Danicl in Babylon to bear testi- The so-called ‘‘wise men”’ of the present day, inelud- ing the “‘brain trust’’, have utterly failed to suggest a method that will effectually bring peace and pros- perity to the people. The prophecy indicates that the remnant of the church yct on earth must as a last resort serve notice and warning of such utter failure upon the earthly rulers of Satan’s organization called Babylon and that this notice must be served shortly preceding the overthrow of the wieked organization by Jchovah’s great Executive Officer, Jehovah has brought forth his witnesses for the purpose of giving such notice, The miscrable failure of the clerey to tell the truth to the people makes it neeessary for Jehovah Ged to employ the remnant to give notice and warning to the rulers of the world. It was in 3925 that God revealed to his people on earth the meaning of the two great signs or wonders appearing in heaven. (Rev. 12:1,3) Those great signs or wen- ders disclose to God’s people the organization of the enemy Satan, and the greater organization of Jchovah God, the explanation of which appears in The Watca- tower, 1925, page 67 on. On September 27, 1930, the books Light, explaining The Revelation, including the two great signs and wonders and the seven last plagues, were released to the public, and a wide distribution of these books followed, and whieh were placed in the hands of many of the ruling class. Thereafter the importance of giving testimony was emphasized, and God’s organization on earth fixed a quota for the year 1931 of the amount of literature that it was hoped would be placed; and during each year from that time forward a like course has been taken and a great- er testimony than ever given to the name of the Lord. It then became apparent that such is ‘‘the testimany of Jesus Christ’, and the remnant understuod more fully than before that the Lord has committed to his anointed ones on earth the obligation of delivering this testimony and that they must deliver it regard- less of all opposition. The remnant are the witnesses for Jehovah. 3 No longer, therefore, could the faithful remnant be identified as merely ‘Bible Students’’; because anyone claiming faith in God, and accepting the Bible 333
