You are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed. There will be tribulation and distress for . . . who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek. —Rom. 2: 5, 9, R.S.V.

The 'sign of the Son of man in heaven' has appeared and it is for the benefit, not of one earthly nation, but of all nations, Jew and Gentile. This 'sign' is the birth of God's kingdom in 1914 with his Messiah on the heavenly throne. (Matt. 24: 30; Rev. 12: 1-5) To this has witness been given world-wide, but the mass of the natural Jews as well as of the Gentiles continue to ignore the testimony given to the 'sign' by Jehovah's witnesses. Now is the time for conversion. When this Kingdom witness has been preached to all nations, Jew and Gentile, then the time comes for the King's power to be revealed by the universal war of Armageddon, and it will be too late for conversion, either by individuals or by nations.
