« Speech It's not about Jehovah's Witnesses. First, we don't believe in the end of the world or that the earth and all the people on it will be destroyed. We believe that God will establish his dominion over the earth, the "Kingdom of God" for which millions of Christians pray. Secondly, it is impossible to hide from the intervention of God in the "Ural wilderness". Thirdly, there is no specific date in the Bible when God will establish His governing body. It certainly has nothing to do with us .”
