Chapter Fifteen/"Who Is Worthy to Open the Scroll?" - A Swelling Anthem - Continue

 When does this superb anthem shine forth? It began in the Lord's day. After Satan and his demons were cast out of the heavens, "every creature that is in the heaven" could unite in this song of praise. And, as the record shows, since 1919 a growing multitude on earth have united their voices in praising Jehovah, increasing from a few thousand to well over three million by the late 1980's After Satan's earthly system has been destroyed, "every creature . . . on earth" will be singing the praises of Jehovah and his Son. In Jehovah's due time, the resurrection of the countless millions of dead will begin, and then "every creature . . . underneath the earth" that is in the memory of God will have the opportunity to join in singing the anthem.
