I had expected they would release something about Ezechiel or some other prophet, too.

The last version was in 1984 and had only 59 languages. This is what they said then, in K M 1984
If you call on someone who speaks a language other than your own, make good use of the booklet Good News for All Nations. In that way at least a basic witness can be given to determine if the individual has some interest in the truth. If he shows interest and you have literature in his language, offer it to him.
Maybe it reflects a trend of globalisation, since there is a big push on any migrant communities, where a better reception is gained than the regular householders.Personally , I never got more than a blank stare back to me when I used that booklet. I probably didnt realise that there are umpteen Asian languages and not just Chinese

Could someone with this new brochure maybe post the message? It would be interesting to see if there are any differences to the old one.
The message from 1984
Please Read This Message:YOU CAN LIVE FOREVER IN HAPPINESS ON EARTHIt does not seem possible to enjoy happiness on earth even for a short time. Sickness, aging, hunger, crime, insecurity and oppression often make life miserable. But there are good reasons for believing that it really is possible to live forever in happiness on earth.
What are these reasons? First, because Almighty God made the earth just perfect for us! Also, in the ancient and most widely believed holy book, the bible, he promises: "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it." - Psalm 37:29.
Because God is Almighty we know he can bring this to pass. In fact, he also promises to d oaway with the causes of unhappiness: "He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain anymore. The former things have passed away." - Revelation 21:4.
Would you like to learn more? I will be glad to obtain some Bible literature in your language, if that is possible, and return with it. It will give you confidence that you really can live forever in happiness on earth. Please give me your name. And kindly return this booklet to me for others to use. Thank you. -
