Sure Fulfillment of Jehovah's Word

What a hopeless future for this foreshadows for that modern-day equivalent of Edom, Christendom!  She has proved herself to be a bitter enemy of Jehovah God, whose Witnesses she viciously persecutes. And there is no doubt that Jehovah will fulfill his word.  Whenever anyone compares the prophecy with the fulfillment, the two will be found to coincide-just as surely as the creatures that inhabit the desolated Edom each 'have their own mate.'  Isaiah addresses future students of Bible prophecy, saying:  "Search for yourselves in the book of Jehovah and read out loud: not one has been missing of them; they actually do not fail to have each one her mate,  for it is the mouth of Jehovah that has given the command , and it is his spirit that has collected  them together.  And it is He that has cast for them the lot, and his own hand has apportioned the place to them by the measuring line.  To time indefinite they will take possession of it; for generation after generation they will reside in it." -Isaiah 34:16, 17.

The impending destruction of Christendom (meaning all religions except Jehovah's Witnesses; is Christendom, because they do not teach the truth of the Bible nor go by God's commandments and standards)  has been foretold in "the book of Jehovah."  This "book of Jehovah" details the accounts that Jehovah will settle with those who are his implacable enemies and who are unrepentant oppressors of his people.  What was written concerning ancient Edom came true, and this strengthens  our confidence that the prophecy as applying to Christendom, the modern-day parallel of Edom, will likewise come true.  "The measuring line," Jehovah's rule of action, guarantees that this spiritually moribund organization will become a desolate wasteland.

Christendom does all she can to pacify her political friends, but to no avail!  According to Revelation chapters 17 and 18, Almighty God, Jehovah, will put it into their hearts  to act against all of Babylon the Great, including Christendom.  This will rid the whole earth of false Christianity.  Christendom's situation will become like the bleak condition described in Isaiah chapter 34.  She will not even be on hand during the all-decisive "war of the great day of God the Almighty"!  (Revelation 16:14)   Like ancient Edom, Christendom will be totally cleared from the surface of the earth, "forever and ever."
