No Weapon Formed Against Us Will Succeed
Gamaliel's advice was sound, and we appreciate it when some speak out in our behalf. We also acknowledge that freedom of worship has been upheld through court decisions by fair-minded judges. Of course, our adherence to God's Word displeases Christendom's clergy and other leaders of Babylon the Great, the world empire of false religion. (Revelation 18:1-3) Though they and those influenced by them fight against us, we have this assurance: "Any weapon whatever that will be formed against you will have no success, and any tongue at all that will rise up against you in the judgment you will condemn. This is the hereditary possession of the servants of Jehovah, and their righteousness is -from me, ' is the utterance of Jehovah." -Isaiah 54:17.
Our enemies fight against us without cause, but we do not lose courage. Never will we allow those who hate our Bible message to intimidate us into compromising our faith. Though we expect our spiritual fight to intensify, we know the outcome. Like Jeremiah, we will experience the fulfillment of the prophetic words: "They will be certain to fight you, but they will not prevail against you, for 'I am with you,' is the utterance of Jehovah, 'to deliver you.' " (Jeremiah 1:19) Yes, we know that fighters against God will not prevail!
