"Be Vigilant" - Conclusion of "The Great Tribulation"

It will be a great shock for people to see false religion destroyed. Bible prophecy shows that even some of "the kings of the earth" are going to declare regarding that destruction: "Too gad, too bad, . . . because in one hour your judgment has arrived.!"  (Revelation 18:9, 10, 16, 19) The Bible's use of the words "one hour" shows that this event will take place rather swiftly.

We understand that some time after false religion has been destroyed, there will be an attack on Jehovah's servants, who have been proclaiming his judgment messages.  (Ezekiel 38:14-16) When that attack begins, the attackers will have to confront Jehovah, who promises to protect his faithful people.  Jehovah declares: "In my ardor, in the fire of my fury, I shall have to speak. . . . And they will have to know that I am Jehovah." (Read Ezekiel 38:18-23) God states in his Word: "He that is touching you  [his faithful servants] is touching my eyeball." (Zachariah 2:8) So when his enemies begin their global assault on his servants, Jehovah will respond. He will move into action, which will lead to the final phase of the great tribulation-Its Armageddon climax.  Under Christ's command, powerful angelic forces will execute judgments against Satan's world.
