CHAPTER II/The Victorious Fighters of Armageddon - Continue

 Christendom's armies have fought for world domination as regards the earth, but not for universal sovereignty of Jehovah God. There is no inspired record that either Jehovah God of ancient Israel or Jesus Christ his Son had taken part in any of the wars of Christendom and fought for any of her nations. The prophetic Scriptures of the inspired Bible declare that Jehovah God and Jesus Christ his glorified Son have reserved their fighting for the field of Armageddon, when Satan the Devil and all his spirit demons and the kings of the entire inhabited earth and all their armies and peoples are unitedly challenging the universal sovereignty of Jehovah God and rejecting the kingdom of his Son Jesus Christ. Concerning that time the prophecy says: "Then shall Jehovah go forth and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And Jehovah shall be King over the earth: "In that day shall Jehovah be one, and his name one." (Zechariah 14:3, 9, AS) Past wars of man have settled nothing, but Armageddon will settle the biggest issue before all creatures in heaven and earth, universal sovereignty and that in favor of Jehovah. Then the new world, in which His will is to be done everywhere, will follow.
