CHAPTER II/The Victorious Fighters of Armageddon - Continue

 Does the Almighty God have a name? Yes, and at the showdown fight at Armageddon all men of the nations will come to know the name of Him against whom they are fighting. The prophetic psalm prays to God, saying: "Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; yea, let them be founded and perish; that they may know that thou alone, whose is Jehovah, art the Most High over all the earth." (Psalm 83:17, 18, AS, Da; Yg; Ro) Jehovah comes out on top. 

Armageddon will therefore be a battle of gods, gods invisible and spiritual and persons among men who are addressed as "gods" or divinities. Besides bring the "ruler of this world," Satan the Devil is Scripturally called "the god of this system of things." This means that those who are a part of this world and who uphold this system of things worship, in fact, Satan the Devil, regardless of how religiously they may deny this. (2 Corinthians 4;4, NW; Romans 6:16) The sacrifices that many tribes and nations offer to idols and images the really offer to their ruler Satan the Devil Says an inspired writer on this: "I say that the things  which the nations sacrifice they sacrifice to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to become sharers  with the demons." (1 Corinthians 10:20, NW) Besides demons gods, there are today men to whom are given the honors, praises, adulation and worship due only o the one living true God. Recognizing that are such are mighty ones among me, who claim to be the sons the Mose High God, the inspired psalmist said: "I say. 'You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you, nevertheless, you shall die like men and fall like any Prince.' "- PSALM 82:6, 7, RS.
