(Zephaniah 1:14) 14 “The great day of Jehovah is near. It is near, and there is a hurrying [of it] very much. . . We are living during that appointed time!!! How exciting these last days will prove to be as we see Bible Prophecy being fulfilled! May Jehovah strengthen you and fortify your heart and mind for the work ahead. And may he go ahead of you and prepare the hearts and minds of those to whom we preach!
1914:
We are on the very eve of this great Day of Vengeance. We are now proclaiming in the words of the Prophet Zephaniah, "The great Day of the Lord is near; it is near and hasteth greatly..."...
It will be a lesson never to be forgotten. The sons of God, then exalted to the rulership of the Kingdom, will begin their work of healing and blessing, of binding up the crushed and broken hearts of men. Their own experience in the present life will have taught them how to sympathize with the poor, sin-sick world; and they will be able to pour into humanity's wounds the blessed balm of Gilead, "to give beauty for ashes," to wipe away all tears, and to lead all who will step by step up the grand Highway of Holiness then cast up for the people. - R5537, p. 279

It's interesting to note when Zephaniah was written, at least according to the NWT, about 648 bc. It has amazed me how nearly all of the Old Testament dealt with the nation of Israel and Judah, and their coming destruction, then their deliverance by Jehovah. It adds to the confusion that the Bible books are not in chronological order. Even the WT says these prophecies are dealing with Israel and Judah, but then adds a second fulfillment, and sometimes a third.
