CHAPTER II/The Victorious Fighters of Armageddon -Continue

 The all-transcending issue before all creation is the universal sovereignty of Jehovah the Most High and Almighty God. The foremost act of justice is to vindicate and justify, his universal sovereignty before not only this earth but all the universe. That overwhelming more important than the mere saving of earthly creatures who were justly condemned to death because of their imperfect sinful condition. Jesus Christ loves Jehovah God more any man or any other creature, for the commandment to love God with everything we are and have is first and the commandment to love our neighbor is the second. (Matthew 22:35-40; Deuteronomy 6:5; Leviticus 19:18) Jesus Christ loves Jehovah God his heavenly Father. Although he knew he faced a cruel martyr's death her on earth he said to his loyal apostles: "In order for the world to know that I love the Father, I am even doing just the way the Father has give me commandment to do."  (John 14:31, NW) Jesus loves the vindication of his heavenly Father's universal sovereignty because that vindication is just and right and deserved; and Jehovah God has commanded Jesus Christ the Seed of His "woman" to the chief One in carrying out that vindication. Therefore the battle of Armageddon must come, although it means the greatest destruction of human life, for it is by this supreme conflict that the chief issue of all time will forever settle the universal sovereignty of Jehovah God the Creator and King of all eternity.
