All the evidence shows that we are nearing the end of man's tragic experiment in independence from God. It has been clearly demonstra-ted that rulership by humans apart from God can never succeed. Only God's rulership can bring peace, happiness, perfect health, and ever-lasting life. So God's toleration of wickedness and suffering is nearing its end. Soon God will intervene in human affairs by destroying this unsatisfactory system of things.

Bible prophecy says: " In the days of those kings [ human ruler-ship now existing] the God of heaven will set up a kingdom [ in heaven ] that will never be brought to ruin... It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms [present rulerships], and it itself will stands to time indefinite." (Daniel 2:44) The vindication of Jehova's sovereignty, his right tn rule, by his heavenly Kingdom is the central teaching of the Bible. Foretelling a key part of the sign of " the last days," Jesus said: " This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nation; and then the end will come." - Matt. 24:14

When the end comes, who will survive? The Bible answers: " The upright are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it. As regard the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth." (Prov. 2: 21,22) Thd upright are those who learn from God's will and do it. Jesus Christ said: " This means ever-lasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ." ( John 17:3 ) Yes, " the word is passing away..., buu he that does the will of God remains forever."- 1 John 2:17.
