This is an especially pertinent matter during the month of May, for we will be offering the book “Then is Finished the Mystery of God” in the ministry, as well as having our regular study in it at the congregation book study. Let’s examine our personal outlook toward Revelation and the “Mystery” book; our happiness is involved.

How do you react to the idea of placing the “Mystery” book in the ministry during May? Likely you’ll agree that we should try to leave a copy with those with whom we study and others on whom we call regularly. But are you a bit reluctant about placing the book from house to house? Do you think that you will place more copies of some other book during May than the “Mystery” book?

The second point we have in mind is that if persons are going to gain eternal life they need to know many of the very things considered from Revelation in the “Mystery” book. What we mean is this:

If someone is going to live forever, it is essential that he get to know Jehovah God. Does not Revelation chapter four, by presenting a vision of God’s holiness and glory, help one to do that? To live in the new order one must appreciate God’s Son. Revelation chapter five deals with Jesus and his worthiness to be used by God.

A person needs to grasp the meaning of the troubles since 1914 and see that they point to the establishment of God’s kingdom in the hands of Jesus Christ. Doesn’t the “Mystery” book cover that in explaining the sixth and twelfth chapters of Revelation? To understand the Bible one needs to see how the heavenly and earthly classes fit into God’s arrangement. If one is disgusted with immoral conditions, including what the churches permit, he needs to know that there is an organization that stresses moral cleanness, yes, requires it of its members. The new book shows that, when handling the second and third chapters of Revelation. And though the new book does not deal with a great many of the common doctrinal matters, it delivers a strong blow to the Trinity.​—Pages 177, 187-189.

It is interesting that we received a number letters from non-Witnesses who got the “Babylon” book. The book pleased and impressed them. These persons read it rapidly, not lingering on details, and they learned major points, such as the identity of “Babylon the Great” and God’s view of the churches. We feel that the “Mystery” book, in the same way, will help persons to see things that they need to know in order to gain life, don’t you?

One final point is that placing the new book, during May, will help persons in our territory to see certain things about Jehovah’s witnesses that they ought to realize. For example, they ought to realize that Jehovah’s witnesses deal with solid and complicated portions of the Bible, not just the “milk” of the Word. (Heb. 5:12-14) Such deep material is usually shunned by the churches. Don’t you agree that if we place the “Mystery” book with persons they will recognize this difference between Jehovah’s organization and the churches?

As we share in the ministry during May, we can keep in mind these points about the “Mystery” book and the people in our territory. Then as we leave with persons the explanation of Revelation found in the new book, it will be a way in which Revelation makes both us and them happy.
