REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Thirty Four - An Awesome Mystery Solved - Continue

 From September 18 to 20,  1942, at the height of World War II, Jehovah's Witnesses in the United States  held their New World Theocratic Assembly.  The key city, Cleveland, Ohio, was tied by telephone  with more than 50 other convention cities, for peak  attendance  of 129,699. Where wartime conditons  permitted, other conventions repeated  the program around the world. At the same time, many of Jehovah's people expected that the war would escalate  into God's war of Armageddon; hence the title of the public talk "Peace - Can It Last?", aroused much curiosity.  How could the new president  of the Watch Tower Society, N.H. Knorr, presume to talk about peace when the very opposite seemed to be in store for the nations?  The reason was that the John class was praying " more than the unsual attention"  to God's prophet Word. - HEBREW 2:1; 2 PETER 1:19.
