fruit gets cut down and thrown into the fire.”—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1986284/0/0" data-bid="1-1" class="b">MATTHEW 7:19</a>.</p> <p id="p37" data-pid="37" class="qu"> 1. What can we learn from the way that Jehovah dealt with some rulers in the past?</p> <p id="p3" data-pid="3" data-rel-pid="[37]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="1"></span>THE record of history testifies to the fact that Jehovah can change “times and seasons, removing kings and setting up kings.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1986284/1/0" data-bid="2-1" class="b">Daniel 2:21</a>) In previous centuries, when it suited his purpose, he removed Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, Herod Agrippa I, and others. ‘However,’ some may say, ‘those events were all ancient history. What do they have to do with us?’ They have a lot to do with us because there are powerful lessons in them. What we learn from those events is that when Jehovah’s time for it comes, he brings an end to the rulership of world leaders. And when he has chosen to do so, he has put into power the ruler of his choice.</p> <p id="p38" data-pid="38" class="qu"> 2. For what has Jehovah’s time arrived in our day?</p> <p id="p4" data-pid="4" data-rel-pid="[38]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="2"><sup>2</sup></span> In our day, Jehovah’s time has again arrived for “removing kings and setting up kings.” Having now ‘set up’ the King of his choice, God will soon remove all of this world’s rulers, as well as the entire system of things that they dominate. Why? Because they, like Belshazzar of ancient Babylon, “have been weighed in the balances and have been found deficient.” The situation today is just as it was when God’s servant Daniel told Belshazzar: “God has numbered the days of your kingdom and has finished it.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1986284/2/0" data-bid="3-1" class="b">Daniel 5:26, 27</a>) Therefore, in our time Jehovah “will certainly break kings to pieces on the day of his anger. He will execute judgment among the nations.”—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1986284/3/0" data-bid="4-1" class="b">Psalm 110:5, 6</a>.</p> <p id="p5" data-pid="5" class="ss"><span id="page16" class="pageNum" aria-hidden="true" data-no="16" data-before-text="16"></span><strong>“Found Deficient”</strong></p> <p id="p39" data-pid="39" class="qu"> 3, 4. With regard to peace, how have world rulers been “found deficient” in this century?</p> <p id="p6" data-pid="6" data-rel-pid="[39]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="3"><sup>3</sup></span> How have earthly rulers been “found deficient” with regard to world developments? They must take a major share of the blame for what has happened to the human family in our time, a time filled with calamities unlike any other age. For instance, just since 1914 about a hundred million people have been killed in various wars! Today, nuclear weapons threaten the survival of life on earth. Right this minute, thousands of nuclear missiles, with firing crews at the ready, are pointing at population centers.</p> <p id="p7" data-pid="7" data-rel-pid="[39]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="4"><sup>4</sup></span> Regarding nuclear war, <em>Science</em> magazine reported this chilling analysis: ‘In any large-scale nuclear exchange, the extinction of a major portion of plant and animal life on earth is likely. The extinction of humankind cannot be excluded.’ A government official in Europe said: “Losses would not be counted in terms of cities but in terms of whole continents.” The president of a Latin American country stated as to the cost of defense: “Mankind is sailing in a fragile ship which may well founder . . . If it does go down, it could take everyone with it.” And a Japanese newspaper observed: “The world seems further from [peace] than at anytime in history.”</p> <p id="p40" data-pid="40" class="qu"> 5, 6. What is the economic condition of many lands and peoples?</p> <p id="p8" data-pid="8" data-rel-pid="[40]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="5"><sup>5</sup></span> Yet, the nations keep spending more and more on armaments. The cost has now risen to about a trillion dollars (U.S.) a year! One source notes that the world spends about 50 times as much money on each soldier as it does on each school-age child. Consider, too, a United Nations report that shows that at least 450 million people throughout the world are hungry, and their numbers are growing. Another report states that “every year 30 to 40 million people starve to death” in underdeveloped lands. It says, too, that about half of those dying are children under the age of five.</p> <p id="p9" data-pid="9" data-rel-pid="[40]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="6"><sup>6</sup></span> A government official of one large country in South America says that <span id="page17" class="pageNum" aria-hidden="true" data-no="17" data-before-text="17"></span>“40 percent of the work force lives in absolute poverty.” In another country there, the lack of employment in its capital city affects 51 percent of the labor force. A report concludes: “A continent of 260 million people has sunk into its deepest depression in a half century.” Then notice these three headlines from different lands: “Poverty Rate Called ‘Alarming.’” “Poverty Rate Is Up.” “Poverty, Painful Experience.” Were these reports from underdeveloped lands? No, they were from government officials in Canada, the United States, and the Federal Republic of Germany. Yes, even so-called wealthy nations are mired in difficulties.</p> <p id="p41" data-pid="41" class="qu"> 7. What observations have been made about the crime and violence so rampant in our time?</p> <p id="p10" data-pid="10" data-rel-pid="[41]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="7"><sup>7</sup></span> In many lands these problems are mirrored by an avalanche of crime, violence, and terrorism. For example, in the United States the Federal Centers for Disease Control notes that each year more than 50,000 Americans are murdered or commit suicide! Thus an editorial in <em>The New York Times</em> concluded: “Things are out of control.” Another editorial observed: “This is a time of international anarchy.” So, in spite of centuries of effort, experience, and technological progress, world leaders are unable to give many of their people their basic needs.</p> <p id="p42" data-pid="42" class="qu"> 8. To what does the record of history testify?</p> <p id="p11" data-pid="11" data-rel-pid="[42]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="8"><sup>8</sup></span> Surely, the record of history, both ancient and modern, testifies that man, on his own, does not have the answers. The political, economic, and religious leadership of this world can never bring the peace, security, happiness, health, and life that we want and need. Therefore, this world must go! And it will go because that is what Jehovah has purposed for it. It is as the Bible says: “The ax is already in position at the root of the trees; every tree, therefore, not producing fine fruit is to be cut down and thrown into the fire.”—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1986284/4/0" data-bid="5-1" class="b">Luke 3:9</a>.</p> <p id="p12" data-pid="12" class="ss"><strong>Another Reason for Judgment</strong></p> <p id="p43" data-pid="43" class="qu"> 9. How do world leaders generally regard Jehovah’s purposes?</p> <p id="p13" data-pid="13" data-rel-pid="[43]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="9"><sup>9</sup></span> The bad fruitage that this world and its leaders have produced is one reason why Jehovah, having weighed the world in the balances, has found it deficient and will destroy it. But there is another reason: World leaders have left Jehovah—the Creator and Universal Sovereign—out of their considerations. They have no real interest in his purposes or times and seasons. That is why <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1986284/5/0" data-bid="6-1" class="b">First Corinthians 2:8</a> accurately says of them: “This [divine] wisdom not one of the rulers of this system of things came to know.” Thus <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1986284/6/0" data-bid="7-1" class="b">Psalm 146:3</a> counsels us: “Do not put your trust in nobles, nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs.”</p> <p id="p44" data-pid="44" class="qu">10, 11. (a) What should be done by those who want to know Jehovah?

In all your ways take notice of him, and he himself will make your paths straight.” People who do this will not remain in the unenlightened hopelessness of this world. Jehovah will bless them with his spirit so that they will come to know his purposes and his times and seasons for them. As <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1986284/8/0" data-bid="9-1" class="b">Acts 5:32</a> says, Jehovah gives his holy spirit “to those obeying him as ruler.”</p> <p id="p15" data-pid="15" data-rel-pid="[44]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="11"><sup>11</sup></span> So God’s servants know what this world’s rulers do not.

Recall what Pharaoh, Belshazzar, Herod, and other rulers in the past did to Jehovah’s servants. They opposed, persecuted, and even killed them. God held those rulers accountable for that.</p> <p id="p18" data-pid="18" data-rel-pid="[45]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="13"><sup>13</sup></span> It is similar in our day.

This is the hereditary possession of the servants of Jehovah.” Hence, all opposers will be brought low, just as were others in the past.

When it comes, Jehovah will forcibly remove all world rulers from office. However sincere they may be, their fruitless and hopeless plans will cease. True, the rulers may try to cheer up their people with arms treaties and various plans for peace and security, even with ‘holy years’; but the march toward the final showdown at God’s war of Armageddon continues relentlessly.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1986284/16/0" data-bid="17-1" class="b">Revelation 16:13-16</a>.</p> <p id="p47" data-pid="47" class="qu">16.
