It is only a few months before "Panic - World Panic" grips the whole world according to a WTS publication called "The Nations Shall Know That I Am Jehovah - How?" (1971 - p 367) I was reading my copy of the book and was quite surprised to see the number of assertive statements made in the book about Armageddon striking mankind "before our twentieth century".
As is usual the speculations of WTS are attributed to "Jehovah who has spoken it. It will therefore not fail to come true�" (p.236)
One more WTS�s speculation is about to fail within the next few months, but if not, 99.9% of mankind will be toast!
Following are some of the more outrageous statements from the book. (The book is also on WTS�s CD-ROM)

*** kj 216 12 "Until He Comes Who Has the Legal Right" ***
9 Shortly, within our twentieth century, the "battle in the day of Jehovah" will begin against the modern antitype of Jerusalem, Christendom.
*** kj 217 12 "Until He Comes Who Has the Legal Right" ***
10 However, Jehovah�s "sword" will not be applied merely to those adhering to Christendom. It will also be brandished against "all flesh from south [Christendom] to north."
Religionists belonging to all the rest of the world empire of false religion will feel the cutting edge of Jehovah�s "sword." Their being non-Christians will not cause them to be spared. They will not be left to gloat over the destruction of
Christendom as a rival religious system.
*** kj 235 12 "Until He Comes Who Has the Legal Right" ***
Shortly the modern antitype of ancient unfaithful Jerusalem will be brought to her perpetual ruin�
*** kj 235 12 "Until He Comes
Who Has the Legal Right" ***
Their "appointed times" having run out in 1914 C.E., they will be brought to eternal ruin in the "war of the great day of God the Almighty" at the now-shaping-up world situation called Har�Magedon.
*** kj
236 12 "Until He Comes Who Has the Legal Right" ***
The "sword" of the "war of the great day of God the Almighty" will reach them in their own land. In the land of their origin their blood will be poured out. The death that they
divined and desired for Jehovah�s true people will come upon their own selves as a denunciation from Jehovah. Let them imagine no unreality about this; let them make no mistake about this. It is Jehovah who has spoken it. It will therefore
not fail to come true, to His vindication.
*** kj 260 13 Christendom's Associates Turn upon Her! ***
60 Yet, is this to go on forever, or will it go beyond this generation of ours? Not according to what Jehovah now tells�
*** kj 263
13 Christendom's Associates Turn upon Her! ***
Frightful will be the ruin of this symbolic woman, Christendom, that did not let herself be corrected by the warning examples recorded in Jehovah�s Word. No one can ignore those warning
examples and get by with it!
*** kj 264 13 Christendom's Associates Turn upon Her! ***
Let all ignorers of Jehovah today take note. Relish it or not, the approaching destruction of Christendom will be according to His warning
examples, his prophecies and his irreversible decrees.
*** kj 276 14 Hypocritical Religionists Stunned at the News ***
29 �But what if it does not occur?� someone not believing may exclaim. Never fear! The events of the future and the
news reports that will come through will prove true the infallible prophecy uttered by Ezekiel.
*** kj 277 14 Hypocritical Religionists Stunned at the News ***
33 Is this not something thrilling for us to contemplate, namely, the
fulfillment of this prophetic drama within our generation? It will be definitely indicated when the "great tribulation," like the siege against Jerusalem, begins upon her modern-time counterpart, Christendom.
*** kj 292 15 The
Watchman Lives to Get the Report ***
37 What is to be gained by hesitating and doubting to the end that Jehovah can raise up and has raised up a genuine "prophet" within our generation?
*** kj 292 15 The Watchman Lives to Get the
Report ***
when Jehovah�s prophetic watchman gets the report that Christendom has been stricken down, we, together with the faithful watchman, will continue to live on through the destruction of the whole world empire of false religion
and of its secular paramours�
*** kj 307 16 A Shepherd-King for All Mankind ***
37 In the spring of the year 1935 it was revealed to the anointed remnant that a numberless "great crowd" of these "other sheep" was to be taken out from
this system of things before the outbreak of the "great tribulation" upon Christendom.
*** kj 309 16 A Shepherd-King for All Mankind ***
41 Christendom will be uprooted and destroyed in the coming "great tribulation," but the
organization of Jehovah�s Christian witnesses is planted in the earth to remain through the present turbulent times and through the "great tribulation" in which the present worldwide system of things ends.
*** kj 357 19 Defeat Awaits
Attack by Nations under Gog ***
This is a warning to the remnant of spiritual Israel and their dedicated sheeplike associates. They should not be surprised that they will have the whole world of mankind under Satan the Devil against
them. Not amazed should they be even if military dictatorship world wide came.
*** kj 359 19 Defeat Awaits Attack by Nations under Gog ***
25 In the approaching "great tribulation" Christendom will be destroyed as the antitypical
unfaithful Jerusalem, yes, all of Babylon the Great will be destroyed by the armed forces of the Eighth World Power. (Luke 21:20; Matthew 24:15-22) But the faithful remnant of spiritual Israel and their dedicated companions will survive
this.
*** kj 367 19 Defeat Awaits Attack by Nations under Gog ***
As weapons of warfare Jehovah wields the forces of creation, flooding cloudbursts of rain, hailstones of undeclared size, downpours of streaking fire and sulphur�all of
which will release more destructive energy than all the atomic and nuclear energy that the nations hold in reserve in the oversupply of bombs that they have stockpiled for World War III. All their scientific devices for germ warfare and
chemical warfare will be surpassed by the raging pestilence with which he can plague them, a pestilence that could kill off 185,000 in a single night in a given locality. (2 Kings 19:35, 36) The blood of Jehovah�s Christian witnesses they
are anxious to spill, but it will be their own blood that they will drink by the violent loss of their own lives.
45 Panic�world panic outside the ranks of Jehovah�s Christian witnesses!
