Chapter Twenty-Seven/God's Kingdom Is Born! - A Son, A Male

 Now, does that expression sound familiar? Yes, Jehovah promised prophetically regarding Jesus: "You will break them with an iron scepter, as though a potter's vessel you will dash them to pieces." (Psalm 2:9) It was also prophesied regarding him: "The rod of your strength Jehovah will send out of Zion, saying: Go subduing in the midst of your enemies.' " (Psalm 110:2) Therefore, the birth seen by John closely involves Jesus Christ. No, it is not just Jesus' being born of a virgin back before the first century of our Common Era; nor could it refer to Jesus' being raised again to spirit life in 33 C.E. Furthermore, it is no transmigration. Rather, it is the birth of God's Kingdom in 1914 as a reality, with Jesus-already in heaven for close to 19 centuries-not enthroned as King. - REVELATION 12:10.
