About The Cover

The cover of Warren Grubber’s Guts is a reproduction of pages 208 and 209 of the book From Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained, published by The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc., International Bible Students Association, Brooklyn, New York, U.S.A., copyright 1958 by the Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society of Pennsylvania, now in the Public Domain.

These two pages, from Chapter 25: “How This World Comes to Its End,” describe with graphic illustrations the destruction of Jehovah’s enemies at the Battle of Armageddon.  Jehovah’s Witness parents were encouraged to read this to their small children:

Soul-chilling terror will spread through the masses of people so that they will lose control of themselves; they will begin killing one another. “On that day a great panic from the LORD [Jehovah] shall fall on them, so that each will lay hold on the hand of his fellow, and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of the other.” (Zechariah 14:13, RS)  Then “every man’s sword shall be against his brother.” (Ezekiel 38:21, AS)  But their selfish fight to live will be all in vain. Those who escape being killed by their neighbors will be destroyed by God’s heavenly armies.

Christ’s angels will smite all the opposers of God’s kingdom and his kingdom witnesses with a terrible destruction. A flesh-eating plague will destroy many. Says Jehovah: “Their flesh shall rot while they are still on their feet, their eyes shall rot in their sockets, and their tongues shall rot in their mouths.” (Zechariah 14:12, RS)  Eaten up will be the tongues of those who scoffed and laughed at the warning of Armageddon! Eaten up will be the eyes of those who refused to see the sign of the “time of the end”! Eaten up will be the flesh of those who would not learn that the living and true God is named Jehovah! Eaten up while they stand on their feet!

Where can people hide from this destruction coming from God? Nowhere! Jehovah says: “Not one of them shall escape. Though they dig into Sheol, from there shall my hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, from there I will bring them down. Though they hide themselves on the top of [Mount] Carmel, from there I will search out and take them; and though they hide form my sight at the bottom of the sea, there I will command the [continuing to p. 210] serpent, and it shall bite them.” (Amos 9:1-3, RS)  Closed will be all avenues of escape! Wherever they flee God will find them and destroy them.
