Where is this promised presence of his? . . . All things are continuing exactly as from creation’s beginning.—2 Pet. 3:4.
Christ’s “presence” since 1914 has gone unnoticed by most of earth’s inhabitants. Soon, however, he will make his presence manifest by executing Jehovah’s judgments on the various elements of Satan’s system of things. The destruction of “the man of lawlessness,” the clergy of Christendom, will be an unmistakable “manifestation of his presence.” (2 Thess. 2:3, 8) It will furnish concrete proof that Christ has moved into action as Jehovah’s appointed Judge. (2 Tim. 4:1) The annihilation of the most reprehensible part of Babylon the Great will serve as a prelude to the total destruction of that wicked world empire of false religion. Jehovah will put it into the hearts of political leaders to devastate this spiritual harlot. (Rev. 17:15-18) That will be the first part of the “great tribulation.”—Matt. 24:21. w10 9/15 5:13
