Jehovah’s Witnesses (The Message)
(Part II)

When God broke His silence of nearly 400 years He began a period of transition; a transition that would phase
out the old covenant and establish the new one. It would span nearly one hundred years and leave in its wake the
presence of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of all true believers and the finished Word of God.
It began with the birth of John the Baptist and ended with the death of John the Apostle.
This, the greatest of the works of God, has been a matter of historical record and is upheld by a host of witnesses both in Heaven and Earth. In all of it there is one simple message to mankind. That simple message is made clear at the very beginning of this wondrous work and it is the very same simple message that His witnesses of today bring to the world.
