of the things that have been written about this
book:

Back in 1897 the Watch Tower Society
published the fourth volume of the Studies in
the Scriptures, first entitled “The Day of
Vengeance” and later given a change of title to
“The Battle of Armageddon.” In chapter
eleven this book set forth that the nation of
Israel restored to the land of Palestine would
be the object of Gog’s attack, and, on page 554,
it said: “Israel will finally be besieged by
hosts of merciless plunderers, designated by the
prophet as the hosts of Gog and Magog (Ezek.
38), and great will be the distress of
defenceless Israel.” Over thirty years later the
Bible prophecies were examined further in the
light of events since A.D. 1914, to reveal that,
not the Israelites according to the flesh, but
the Christians who are Israelites inwardly,
spiritual Israelites, are the people destined to
be the target of Gog’s attack from the far
north.

In a small town in Delaware my companion and
I were taken to the office of the Justice of the
Peace by a secret service man. The office door
was locked and the secret service man asked many
questions. We showed them the purpose of our
work. Eventually the Justice of the Peace pulled
out the fourth volume of the Studies in the
Scriptures, entitled “The Battle of
Armageddon,” and said he had read it and
found nothing wrong with it. They decided to let
us go. We were thankful to Jehovah to continue
in the service during those trying times.
