Which Organization—Jehovah’s or Satan’s?

“Birth of the Nation”—that was the title of a dramatic article appearing in the March 1, 1925, issue of The Watch Tower. It presented an enlightened understanding of Revelation chapter 12 that some found difficult to accept.

The symbolic characters mentioned in this chapter of Revelation were identified as follows: the “woman” that gives birth (vss. 1, 2) as “God’s [heavenly] organization”; the “dragon” (vs. 3) as “the devil’s organization”; and the “man child” (vs. 5, KJ) as “the new kingdom, or new government.”
