THE WORLD'S "TIME OF THE END" 209 is no more the same . It has never recovered from those crippling initial pangs of distress, but the doomed condition of the whole world grows worse . 6 Who is responsible for all these pangs of distress from which the world writhes more and more in fear and agony? Do not let us be misled by religious clergymen who claim that God is responsible in that he is punishing the people for forsaking the religious systems of Christendom and turning to godless "isms" . Just because he fixed the end of the times of the nations at 1914 and appointed the world's time of the end to start there, that does not make him responsible for the distress which Jesus foretold . God's revealed Word uncovers the guilty troublemaker and bares the reason for his outrageous treatment of human society. Wars, famines, pestilences and earthquakes have afflicted the earth before, but the times of the nations had not then ended . Nor were those disasters foretold in particular and neither were they accompanied by the overshadowing events in heaven that occurred from 1914 forward. So the meaning of world distress that began with A.D. 1914 is certain . We are in the "time of the end", the consummation of this system of things, and Satan the Devil is responsible for the mounting woes that pain the people . The beginning of the "appointed times of the nations" in 607 B .C. was marked by the overturning of the typical kingdom of God, whose king sat 6 . Whom do the clergy charge, but who is responsible for the woe? 7 . As against what happened in 607 B .C., what does 1914 mark?
210 "THIS MEANS EVERLASTING LIFE" on the "throne of Jehovah" at Jerusalem . The end of those "times of the nations" A .D. 1914 must be marked by the setting up of the real, antitypical kingdom of God in the hands of his Permanent Heir of the Kingdom covenant. God said the Theocratic crown and diadem would be removed from human heads and that the acting government in the hands of a royal descendant of David would be no more until the Messiah comes whose right it is to rule. Then Jehovah God would give it to him. This coming of the rightful King and giving him the governmental rule is what puts an end to the times of the nations with their uninterrupted domination of this world . So 1914 marks not alone the end of the times of the nations but the beginning of Jehovah's kingdom by his Messiah. It marks the birth of the Theocratic government over this earth which belongs to Jehovah God . His holy universal organization in heaven is pictured as a woman with the combined lights of heaven focused upon her . She brought forth or gave birth to the Rightful Ruler . The Most High God at once enthroned him . So in 1914 the stage was all set for a war in heaven, with universal effects. 8 "And another sign was seen in heaven, and look! a great fiery-colored dragon, with seven heads and ten horns and upon its heads seven diadems ; . . . And the dragon kept standing before the woman who was about to give birth, that, when she did give birth, it might devour her child . s. By whom was the war in heaven fought? How did it result?
