Will not the Judge of all the earth do what is right? (Gen. 18:25).

The possibility of someone living forever does not depend on when they die. Jehovah is the perfect Judge, and his decisions are always just and righteous (Ps. 33:4, 5). We are confident that “the Judge of all the earth” will do what is right. Nor does the possibility of someone living forever depend on where they live. Jehovah would never consider millions of people “goats” simply because they live in places where they never had the opportunity to hear the Kingdom message (Matt. 25:46). If we care about such people, surely the “Judge of all the earth” cares about them even more. We do not know how Jehovah will handle matters during the great tribulation. Perhaps some of these people will have the opportunity to come to know him and put their faith in him when he sanctifies himself before all the nations (Ezek. 38:16). w24.05 12 pars. 14, 15

What might some people do upon seeing the destruction of “Babylon the Great”?

Even after the great tribulation begins, some who witness the destruction of “Babylon the Great” may remember that Jehovah’s Witnesses had been announcing for many years that this would happen. Could it be that some may decide to take Jehovah’s side? (Rev. 17:5; Ezek. 33:33)

Let us consider what happened in the days of Moses. When the Israelites left Egypt, “a multitude of all sorts of people” also left with them. (Ex. 12:38) Perhaps some of them began to put their faith in Jehovah when they saw the 10 plagues that Moses foretold come to pass. If something similar happens after Babylon the Great is destroyed, will we feel it is unfair that some people may join us just before the end comes? Of course not! We want to imitate our heavenly Father, who is “a merciful and compassionate God, patient and full of loyal love and truth.” (Ex. 34:6)

What do we know about Jehovah?

Thanks to the Bible, we have learned that Jehovah highly values ​​human life. He gave his Son so that all of us might have the opportunity to live forever (John 3:16). At some point in our lives, we have all felt Jehovah’s tenderness and compassion (Isa. 49:15). He knows each of us by name. What’s more, he knows us so well that if we die, he can recreate us exactly as we were, down to the smallest detail and with all our memories (Matt. 10:29-31). We have every reason to trust that our heavenly Father will judge each person in the best way, because he is wise, just, and merciful (Jas. 2:13).

What will we see in the next article?
