Do you not know that we shall judge angels? —1 Cor. 6:3, NW.

Jehovah must set himself right, not only before men, but also before angels. That means holy angels as well as hostile ones, Satan's demons. Although a world ended in Noah's day, yet Jehovah God did not send Noah to serve notice upon Satan the Devil to inform him that that wicked one was then to be destroyed. Now, however, God Almighty is causing a most unusual message to be delivered. Most unusual in what way? In that it serves notice upon Satan and all his demons that they too are to be destroyed at the end of this world. At Armageddon they will be cast still lower than the earth, into the great abyss to be held in solitary confinement there for a thousand years. Their pride keenly hurt, they object to being reminded of this now by the preaching of Jehovah's witnesses. Neither do they want people on earth to be told about it. That is why they fight against the proclamation made by Jehovah's witnesses. Satan now rages against them like a cornered lion. W 9/15
