REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Twenty Three - Two Myriads of Myriads -Continue

 Jehovah purposed  that this plaguing message should "kill a third of the men." Hence, its specific target has been Christendom.. But  it has reached lands far beyond Christendom, including many where the hypocrisy  of Christendom's religions is well known.  Have  the people of these lands  drawn closer to Jehovah as a result of seeing the plaguing of this corrupt religious organization?  Many have! There has been a ready response among meek and lovable people who live in areas outside Christendom's immediate sphere of influence. But as for the people in general, John describes their reaction: "But the rest of the men who were not killed by these plagues did not repent of the works of their hands, so they should not worship the demons and idols of gild and silver and copper and stone and wood, which can neither see no hear nor walk; and they did not repent of their murders nor of the spiritistic  practices nor of their fornication nor of their thefts. " (Revelation 9:20, 21) There will be no world conversion of such unrepentant ones.  All who persist in their wicked ways will have to face adverse judgment from Jehovah in the great day of his vindication. But "everyone who calls on the name Jehovah will get away safe." - JOEL 2:32; PSALM 145:20; ACTS 2:20, 21.
