Conclusion of THE SMALL HORN OPPOSES GOD AND HIS HOLY ONES

As war fever took hold, the anointed Christians encountered mounting opposition.  Some of them were imprisoned.  Individuals, such as Frank Platt in England and Robert Clegg in Canada, were tortured by sadistic authorities.  On February 12, 1918, the British Dominion of Canada banned the recently published seventh volume of Studies in the Scriptures, entitled The Finished Mystery, as well as the tracts entitle the Bible Students Monthly.  The following month, the U.S. Department of Justice pronounced the distribution of the seventh volume illegal. The result? Why, homes were searched, literature was confiscated, and Jehovah's worshipers were arrested!

Harassment of God's anointed ones climaxed on June 21, 1918, when the president, J.F. Rutherford, and prominent members of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society were sentenced on false charges to long prison terms.  Intending "to change times and law," the "small" horn had effectively killed the organized preaching work. (Revelation 11:7) So the foretold period of 'a time, and times and half a time' ended in June 1918.

But "the holy ones' were not wiped out by the harassment from the "small" horn. As prophesied in the book of Revelation, after a short period of inactivity, the anointed Christians became alive and active again.(Revelation 11:11-13) On March 26, 1919, the president of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society and his associates were released from prison, and they were later exonerated of the false charges against them. Immediately thereafter, the anointed remnant began to reorganize for further activity.  What, though, would be in store for the "small" horn/
