Tell us the things that are coming hereafter, that we may know that you are gods; ... But lo! You are nought, and your work is blank. -Isa. 41: 23, 24, AT.

Those who held Jehovah’s consecrated people captive during World War I were determined never to open the prison doors and let these prisoners loose to go home to Jehovah’s organization. Babylon's gods and their devotees and servants predicted that there was no future for Jehovah's worship and organization on earth and that his people would never again be free to return. They were determined to work to that end, to bring reproach upon Jehovah, the God of Jacob or Israel. Once more, however, Satan's mighty organization was wrong. Again, its mighty ones visible and invisible proved to be false gods. Again, they were exposed as being false prophets, unable to bring their words to pass. Jehovah vindicated himself by delivering his remnant. His pure worship was restored. It will be preserved. W 11/1
