The spirit and the bride keep on saying: “Come!”—Rev. 22:17.
The anointed followers of
Christ have been extending that invitation since as far back as 1918.
In that year, the public talk entitled “Millions Now Living May
Never Die” offered hope that many will gain life in a paradise
earth after the battle of Armageddon. A talk given at the convention
of Bible Students at Cedar Point, Ohio, U.S.A., in 1922 urged
listeners to ‘advertise the King and his kingdom.’ This appeal
helped the remnant of the bride class to reach more people with the
invitation. In 1929, the March 15 issue of The
Watchtower
contained an article entitled “Gracious Invitation.” In part, the
article stated: “The faithful remnant class join [the Most High] in
the gracious invitation and say, ‘Come.’ This message is to be
proclaimed to those who have a desire for righteousness and truth. It
must be done now.” To this day, the bride class continues to extend
that invitation. w10
