Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone of sure foundation: And I will make justice the line, and righteousness the plummet. —Isa. 28:16, 17, AS.

The determining factor in the commencement of divine judgment is the laying of the Stone, the King Christ Jesus, in Zion in completeness, in 1918. Jehovah is exact and right in all his dealings, and the erection of the building on the cornerstone will be performed with minute exactness. There is no place in it for revilers, scorners and scoffers, and certainly not for the modern-day 'drunkards of Ephraim', the rulers of Christendom. In Jehovah's structure the 'living stones', his anointed Christians, are measured, squared, and leveled to the true and sure foundation. But the organization of the religionists is completely out of line and condemned. It is due to demolition. In 1919 they were so out of line with God's purposes that they accepted the League of Nations as 'the political expression of the kingdom of God on earth' in preference to Jehovah's King, his Stone.
