“millions now living
will never die” — Judge
OFTLOOK.
Rutherford
There is special significance in the troublous
days through which the world has passed
since 1914.
Out of these events will come greater develop
ments, involving all nations and peoples.
The Bible acurately foretold present condi
tions.
Its prophecies regarding the future will be ful
filled with equal exactness.
The outstanding hope held forth in the Scrip
tures is the hope of eternal life, and the reali
zation of this hope is now at hand.
It will be accompanied by all that the heart
has longed for—health, peace, and happiness.
God’s purpose in giving man a revelation of
His Plan was that mankind should use it,
understand it, and appreciate the principles it
sets forth.
An understanding of the Bible broadens one’s
view and inspires cheerfulness and optimism.
Prophets of old have described with glowing
tongue the glories of the bright day that is
now dawning.
