REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Twenty - The Great Crowd Makes Its Appearance -Continue

 When the second world war broke out, Satan put forth bitter efforts to stop the harvesting  of the great crowd.  Jehovah's work was restricted in many countries. During those dark days, and shortly  before his death in January 1942, J.F. Rutherford, president of the Watch Tower Society, was heard to say: "Well . . .it looks as though the great multitude is not going to be so great after all.  But divine blessing directed otherwise!  By 1946 the number of Witnesses ministered worldwide had jumped to 176,456 -most  of these being of the great crowd.  In 1987 there were 3,395,612 Witnesses who were serving Jehovah faithfully in 210 different lands - truly A GREAT CROWD!  And the number keeps on increasing.
