Conclusion of "Your Own Watchment Have Raised Their Voice"

To share in such a unifying work takes humility and brotherly love.  For the call to be effective, all involved must preach the same message, featuring Jehovah's name, his ransom provision, his wisdom, his love, and his Kingdom.  As Christians all around the world work shoulder to shoulder, their personal bond with Jehovah is strengthened to sound out the glad tidings in unison.

With God's people shouting in joy, even the place in which they dwell looks cheerful.  The prophecy continues:  "Become cheerful, cry out joyfully unison, you devastated places of Jerusalem,  for Jehovah has comforted his people; he has repurchased Jerusalem.  Jehovah has bared his holy arm before the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth must see the salvation of our God."  (Isaiah 52:9, 10)  With the arrival of the returnees from Babylon, the mournful-looking places of desolated Jerusalem have a cheerful appearance because Jehovah's pure worship  can now be restored.  (Isaiah 35:1, 2)  Clearly, Jehovah has his hand in this.  he has "bared his holy arm," as if rolling up his sleeves in order to apply himself to the task of saving his people. -Ezra 1:2, 3.

In these "last days,"  Jehovah has bared his holy arm in order to revive  the anointed remnant, the "two witnesses'  of the book of Revelation.  (2 Timothy 3:1; Revelation 11:3, 7-13)  Since 1919, these have have been brought into a spiritual paradise the spiritual estate that they now share with millions of their associates , the other sheep.  Eventually, Jehovah will bare his holy arm to bring salvation to his people at "Har-Magedon."  (Revelation 16:14, 16)  Then, "all the ends of the earth must see the salvation of our God.'
