this world. The very next year he opened their eyes to see that they had been “saved” and delivered and spared alive on earth to fulfill their Master’s prophetic command: “He that has endured to the finish is the one that will be saved. And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for the purpose of a witness to all the nations, and then the accomplished end will come.” (Matt. 24:13, 14, NW) They alone had this “good news” of the Kingdom that had been established in the heavens at the close of the “appointed times of the nations” in 1914. It was good news of salvation. That kingdom had fought in heaven for a salvation of the holy angels from the defiling, menacing activities of Satan and his demon angels. It had saved the remnant of chosen ones on earth from their spiritual peril and had freed and emboldened them for the renewed service of Jehovah and his kingdom.

24. Who else on earth have since been saved, and so what is it a privilege now to do?

²⁴ Today, years after that, the majority of this generation has rejected the witness that the remnant has had to give before the complete end of this system of things comes at Armageddon. Yet the preaching of “this good news” of the kingdom of salvation has already resulted in the saving of a “great crowd” of good-will persons “out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues.” That was certain to happen, for it was foretold. (Rev. 7:9-17, NW) At Armageddon the theocratic kingdom will triumph and will free the universe of Satan’s organization and save this “great crowd” of good will through the destructive tribulation of Armageddon and into the new world, the righteous new system of things that will prevail over the earth. After Armageddon that kingdom, exercising its saving power still further, will bring salvation to even the dead in the memorial tombs by resurrecting them to life on earth during the thousand years of Christ’s reign. All these things being taken into consideration, here, indeed, since 1919 is a “salvation by him” the good news about which deserves to be told “from day to day.” It is a thrilling privilege to join the saved ones in telling it.

Telling the Good News from Day to Day

 1. We should put forth the greatest efforts to do what during this “short period of time”?

A “SHORT period of time” remains before the universal war of Armageddon. During this period the opportunity offers itself to bring as many people of good will as possible into the saved condition that Jehovah God now provides. We need to put forth the greatest efforts possible before the period expires to inform the people everywhere that their everlasting salvation can come only from Jehovah the great Savior. It depends mainly upon him. Why?
