Conclusion of Say: "Come!"

May you, then, allow what you have learned from your study of Revelation to influence your life profoundly. Did not your glimpse into Jehovah's heavenly presence impress on you the transcendent glory and holiness of our Creator? (Revelation 4:1-5:14) What a privilege to serve such a God! May your appreciation for his holiness move you to take very seriously Jesus' counsel to the seven congregations and avoid things such as materialism, idolatry, immorality, lukewarmness, apostate sectarianism, or anything else that could make your service unacceptable to Jehovah. (Revelation 2:1-3:22) The apostle Peter's words to the John class apply also in principle to the great crowd: "In accord with the Holy One who called you, do you also become holy yourselves in all your conduct." -1 Peter 1:15, 16.

Additionally, may you be moved to a renewed zeal as you proclaim "the year of goodwill on the part of Jehovah and he day of vengeance on the part of our God." (Isaiah 35:4; 61:2) Whether of the little flock or of the great crowd, may you have the fullest share possible in publicizing the pouring out of the seven bowls of Jehovah's anger, telling of God's Judgments on Satan's' world. At the same time, lend your voice to the joyful proclamation of the everlasting good news concerning the established Kingdom of Jehovah and his Christ. (Revelation 11:15; 14:6, 7) Be at this work urgently. And may a realization that we are in the Lord's day move many who are not yet serving Jehovah to join in the work of proclaiming the good news. May these also progress toward dedicating their lives to God with a view to baptism. Remember, "the appointed time is near!" -Revelation 1:3.
