They will be given a little help.—Dan. 11:34.

 

After the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, God’s people in that vast region enjoyed “a little help”—a period of freedom. As a result, they were able to preach freely, and before long the number of publishers in the former Communist bloc rose to hundreds of thousands. Gradually, Russia and its allies emerged as the king of the north. For a government to fill the role of the king of the north or the king of the south, it must do three things: (1) interact directly with God’s people, (2) show by its actions that it is an enemy of Jehovah and his people, and (3) compete with the rival king. Russia and its allies have had a direct impact on God’s people, banning the preaching work and persecuting hundreds of thousands of our brothers and sisters. Those actions show that they hate Jehovah and his people. And they have been competing with the king of the south, the Anglo-American World Power. w20.05 12-13 ¶3-4

         " Now's the Time! " 
                  Jn. 1:29.
                     [ 💕 ]
                    
 Now Is The Time to build trust in Jehovah and his organization of loyal servants. Now Is The Time to support God’s Kingdom. If we do, we will be saved when the king of the north and the king of the south are destroyed by God’s Kingdom.
