REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Twenty Seven - A New Nation

 While the first world war was being fought, Jesus' brothers faithfully kept on with their witnessing to the extent possible. This was done in the face of intensified oppostion from Satan and his vicious henchmen. Finally, the Bible Students' public witnessing was  virtually stopped. (Revelation 11:7-10) That was hwen they had an experience quite similar to that  of the Israelits in Egypt who also endured under great oppression.  It was then that Jehovah brought them swiftly, as if on the wings of eagles, to safety in the desert of Sinai.(Exodus 19:1-4)  Likewise, after the bitter persecution  of 1918-1919, Jehovah delivered his witnesses, as representing his woman, into a spiritual situation that was as safe for them as the desert was for the Israelites. This came as an answer to their prayers. -Compare PSALM 55:6-9.
