    THE WATCHTOWER

    ANNOUNCING JEHOVAH'S KINGDOM

    What Can You Learn From the Promised Land?

    THE PURPOSE OF THE WATCHTOWER is to exalt Jehovah God as Sovereign Lord of the universe. It keeps watch on world events as these fulfill Bible prophecy. It comforts all peoples with the good news that God's Kingdom will soon destroy those who oppress their fellowmen and that it will turn the earth into a paradise. It encourages faith in God's now-reigning King, Jesus Christ,

    whose shed blood opens the way to mankind to gain eternal life. The watchblower, published by Jehovah's Witnesses continuously since 1879, is nonpolitical. It adheres to the Bible as its authority.
