    • 20 But for what purpose has Jehovah dealt with them in this way? As he himself said at Isaiah 60:21, it is so that he might “be beautified,” so that his name might be honored and others might be drawn to him as the only true God​—and that with lasting benefit to themselves. Consistent with this, in 1931 these worshipers of the true God adopted the name Jehovah’s Witnesses. As a result of their witnessing, were “kings” drawn to the light they reflected, as Isaiah foretold? Yes! Not the political rulers of the earth, but the remaining number of those who are in line to rule as kings with Christ in his heavenly Kingdom. (Revelation 1:5, 6; 21:24) And what about “nations”? Have they been attracted to this light? Definitely so! No individual political nation has been attracted, but a great crowd of people out of all nations have taken their stand on the side of God’s Kingdom, and they eagerly anticipate deliverance into God’s new world. It will be a truly new world in which righteousness will prevail.​—2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 7:9, 10.
