Let anyone hearing say: “Come!”—Rev. 22:17.

Those who hear the invitation to “come” are invited to say, “Come!” in response. For example, the August 1, 1932, issue of The Watchtower stated on page 232: “Let the anointed encourage all who will to take part in telling the good news of the kingdom. They do not have to be anointed of the Lord in order to declare the Lord’s message. It is a great comfort to Jehovah’s witnesses to now know that they are permitted to carry the waters of life to a class of people that may be taken through Armageddon and given everlasting life on the earth.” In 1935, the identity of the “great crowd” mentioned at Revelation 7:9-17 was made clear. And these, having appreciatively heard the message, have made a dedication to God, undergone water baptism, and joined the bride class in actively inviting others to ‘come and drink life’s water free.’ w10 2/15 3:9, 10
