THE WORLD'S "TIME OF THE END" 211 And she gave birth to a son, a male, who is destined to shepherd all the nations with an iron rod . That fact writes finis to the times of the nations'. And her child was caught away to God and to his throne . . . . And war broke out in heaven : Michael and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled but it did not prevail, neither was a place found for them any longer in heaven . So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth ; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him . And I heard a loud voice in heaven say : Now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our God! . . . On this account be glad, you heavens and you who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time .'"-Revelation 12 :1-12, NW. 9 There you are! It is Satan the Devil that is responsible for the woe that torments earth and sea! He opposed God's kingdom from its birth in 1914 . But he was foiled in his efforts to overturn it and was hurled out of heaven down to earth . The endless succession of woe and distress since 1914 proves the Kingdom was born, the war in 9. So what does the world woe prove? Yet why should we rejoice?

212 "THIS MEANS EVERLASTING LIFE" heaven was fought, and the Devil and all his demons were cast out and are now raging about this earth, faced with their dire end within a . short period of time . While it is a period of sore woe and suffering for misled mankind, it is a time for all men of good-will to rejoice with the holy heavens. The heavens are freed forever of Satan and his demons, and within a short period of time our earth will be also! God's kingdom has been born! The universal Sovereign again reigns toward our earth! And he has given authority to his King, who is a Priest after the likeness of Melchizedek, to rule with an iron rod in the midst of the nations whose "seven times" of world domination have run out, until he at last delivers all mankind from their unsatisfactory, oppressive rule . God's kingdom by his Christ is in power to stay for all eternity. Rejoice with heaven above! 10 Losing his fight in heaven, Satan and his demons keep up the fight on earth . Against whom? Against the visible part of God's universal organization God's "woman" and its members . "Now when the dragon saw it was hurled down to the earth, it persecuted the woman that gave birth to the male child . . . . And the dragon grew wrathful at the woman, and went off to wage war with the remaining ones of her seed, who observe the commandments of God and have the work of bearing witness to Jesus ." Revelation 12 :13-17, NW This prediction of persecution by the dragon and his demons upon God's witnesses agrees with 10. How do we explain the persecution on Jehovah's witnesses now?
