țPresent your case,ț says the Lord; țBring forward your champions,ț says the King of Jacob. țLet them approach and tell us what is to happen: ... ț But of these there was no one, ... that, when I asked them, could answer. -Isa. 41: 21, 22, 28, AT.

During World War I the faithful captive remnant did not expect deliveries on earth. The gods and mighty ones of Babylon offered no hint of it but predicted against it. Asked and challenged to declare what would happen concerning Jehovah’s work and organization in the earth, they could not answer positively. It was Jehovah who proved to be the true prophet. He was the first to tell the good news of deliverance to the remnant of his capital organization Zion. He did so through the Bible, and on it he shed the light of his revelation. In 1919 he broke the grip of mighty Babylon and released his prisoner people. He restored them to his theocratic organization and to its free, fearless activity. Jehovah proved right, but not so the gods of Babylon. W 11/1
