Actually, by not revealing the date for the end, Jehovah gives us the opportunity to show that we serve him because we love him and trust in him. We are not serving Jehovah with a deadline in mind, as if our faith in him had an expiration date. Instead of focusing primarily on when "the day of Jehovah" will come, we do well to focus on what that day will accomplish. In doing so, we continue to deepen our devotion to God and do all we can to please him. - 2 PETER 3:11, 12.
We do well to focus on what we do know-that the last days began in 1914. Jehovah has provided Bible prophecies that not only pinpoint that year but also describe in detail the conditions that have prevailed since then. As a result, we are convinced that "the great day of Jehovah is near." (Zephaniah 1:14) We also know the work that Jehovah wants us to do, namely, to tell as many as possible about the good news of the Kingdom." (Matthew 24:14) This message is being declared in some 240 lands and in more than 1,000 languages. We do not need to know the "day and hour" in order to have a zealous share in this vital work.
