ASWENEARAWORLDWITHOUTFALSERELIGION 16 Thus the use of the spiritual weapons was successful against false religion in the first century of our Common Era. It should be so today in this twentieth century, despite the modern times. It is equally successful today, yet, with even greater results. Not the Communists, not Christendom, but those who practice the true religion today find it so. We say "the true religion today" because God can have the true religion on earth today, in spite of all the worldwide religious confusion, just as he had the true religion in existence and at work in the first century. He promised that he would have the true religion being practiced in this "time of the end," in this "conclusion of the system of things," and he has fulfilled his promise, his prophecy. In harmony with that Jesus Christ prophesied that at the time of his second coming and during the time of his invisible presence he would have a "faithful and discreet slave," whom he would place over all his belongings. All the modern evidence is that he has found this "faithful and discreet slave," not an individual man, but a composite "slave," the remnant today of his faithful followers.?Matt. 24:3, 45-47.
