In modern times, when Yiannakos Zachariadis, who had learned the truth in 1926, covered the surrounding area with the good news, a family in the village of Rodholívos accepted the book Government.

In 1940 the clergy hired a man to kill Brother Zachariadis, who was then serving as a traveling overseer. They promised this hired killer that he would go unpunished. So it was that during a meeting in Brother Zachariadis’ home, there was an unexpected knock on the door. It was a stranger. He asked to see Brother Zachariadis, who was just then giving a talk. The brothers asked the man to sit down. Brother Zachariadis, noticing a stranger present, adapted his talk accordingly. Afterward, the friends greeted the man, and Brother Zachariadis got acquainted with him. The stranger then asked Brother Zachariadis to come alone with him into an adjoining room. He took his revolver out of his pocket, along with the money he had been paid, and said: “The bishopric authorized me to come here to find you and kill you. This is the revolver, and this is the money I was paid to commit the crime. But God protected me from shedding innocent blood. He helped me to realize that you are a man of God, contrary to what they told me.”
