(AV) Jehovah did not fulfill this prophecy in Isaiah’s day or in the year when He said the words of Isaiah 43:10, 11. Well, then, when did Jehovah fulfill the prophecy of Isaiah 9:6, 7? This is what Jehovah God did with his Son in the first century of our Common Era, which Son of God became Jesus Christ.

32. What, then, is our conclusion about Jehovah God?

³² Is there, then, any God like Jehovah, the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ? No, we can bear witness that there is none. To this day it remains true that, as the Almighty God of true prophecy, he is the First and the Last, and no creatures in heaven and earth can form any god like him; no creature can even constitute himself a god in comparison with Jehovah. As it is written in Isaiah 44:6, 7: “This is what Jehovah has said, the King of Israel and the Repurchaser of him, Jehovah of armies, ‘I am the first and I am the last, and besides me there is no God. And who is there like me? Let him call out, that he may tell it and present it to me. From when I appointed the people of long ago, both the things coming and the things that will enter in let them tell on their part.’”

33. (a) Has there been any God that could meet Jehovah’s challenge on Godship? (b) What, therefore, should each of us resolve to be?

³³ To this day no god of the worldly nations has answered that divine challenge. Not one of their gods has produced witnesses and given them evidence in proof of his godship. But, to the contrary, Jehovah the Challenger has given his representatives the evidence in proof of his own Godship. In his Holy Bible and in the recorded facts of history the evidence is before us concerning the Godship of Jehovah. If you are not an atheist or an agnostic, but if you follow some religion inside or outside of Christendom, the question is put to you, Of which God are you a witness? Regardless of how all the rest of the world answers, we as followers and imitators of the Lord Jesus Christ answer, We are the Christian witnesses of Jehovah!

Bringing Children into the Study

A woman who is a dedicated Christian in Indiana tells what led up to a Bible study she is now conducting with two women who are sisters in the flesh: “About fifteen years ago a Witness conducted a Bible study with a mother and her two young girls. The study was held for a year and a half and then it was stopped. This lady’s husband had died, forcing her to seek work to care for her family. The added time-consuming responsibility caused her desire to take in knowledge of God’s Word to fade. The study was not resumed; however, the seeds of truth that had been planted were ingrained so that the mother did not send her daughters back to places of false religion. Occasionally the girls would go to church with girl friends out of respect for friendship, but they would feel disgust at the sermon. After marriage they never attended church with their husbands. On many occasions these two sisters talked between themselves of the truth; finally, they reached a decision to have a Bible study with Jehovah’s witnesses. Even after fifteen years they remembered the name of the lady that had studied with their mother and they proceeded to call her. The call was turned over to me, a study was started and they now do incidental witnessing at every opportunity, also encouraging their mother to resume her Bible study and find the peace and joy that they have.”
