10. In proclaiming what message of Jehovah has the remnant been like a lion among the nations?
10 Thus they have preached the message of the established kingdom that will bless the “sheep” class and that will destroy the “goat” class. (Matt. 25:31-46) In proclaiming “the day of vengeance on the part of our God” they have been like a lion for boldness, advising the adversaries of God’s established kingdom that they will be destroyed at Har–Magedon by Jehovah’s Warrior King, Jesus Christ, “the Lion that is of the tribe of Judah.”—Isa. 61:1-3; Rev. 5:5.
11. Why is it that the “hand” of the anointed remnant has remained high above their foes, and what has been the result of this in the way of branches of the Society and the number of ingathered “sheep”?
11 In that way their “hand” for actively applying the Word of God has been “high” in victory over all the adversaries who strive to suppress the Kingdom message. Notice has been served upon those adversaries concerning their coming defeat and destruction at Har–Magedon, when they will be everlastingly “cut off.” (Mic. 5:9) On the other side of the matter, those anointed announcers of God’s kingdom have been like a refreshing “dew” to the sheeplike people who have felt like parched, dried-up “vegetation.” As a result of Jehovah’s upholding their hand it has remained on high above their foes for all these years since the publication of the above-quoted articles in the Watch Tower issues of 1928 and 1929. In evidence of this, the foreign branches of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society have increased to the number of 97, all at the service of the anointed “remnant.” Also, the “great crowd” of the “other sheep” of the Fine Shepherd, Jesus Christ, has kept increasing till now.
