*** w62 7/1 p. 389 Facing Up to Our Urgent Times ***
Armageddon, the battle of the great day of God the Almighty, is at the door . It will be the greatest catastrophe that has ever struck this earth, greater than even the flood of Noah’s day. This worldly generation, therefore, has not much longer to live , and the less time it has the more urgent it is that the Witnesses sound the warning and point men to the way of escape.
*** w64 3/1 p. 144 par. 3 Youth, Get Saved from This Crooked Generation ***
YOU young men and women living at this time in history are offered opportunities unequaled in the past and never to be repeated in the future ....What makes these the grandest of times in which to be alive with all the vigor and promise of youth is that there is now imminent a vaster change in man’s way of life than that resulting from the deluge of Noah’s day....If you choose the course of least resistance now and go along with this crooked world and its ways, then in company with this whole doomed system of things you will find yourself up against the irresistible forces of God’s Armageddon punishment of destruction....Let us face it. This world has nothing good to offer you.
*** w67 5/1 p. 262 Where Are We According to God’s Timetable? ***
Yet of this we can be certain: the generation that Jesus said would witness those events is nearing its close . The time is close at hand . On God’s “timetable” we are in the closing days of a wicked system of things that will soon be gone forever. A glorious new order is immediately before us .

"The fact that fifty-four years of the period called the 'last days' have already gone by is highly significant. It means that only a few years, at most, remain before the corrupt system of things dominating the earth is destroyed by God....And remember, Jesus said that the end of this wicked world would come before that generation passed away in death. This, of itself, tells us that the years left before the foretold end comes cannot be many ...Would you still doubt if someone told you that winter was coming very soon? Would you say he was just guessing or merely expressing his own idea ? Or would you acknowledge, on the basis of solid evidence, that he knew the facts and was telling you the truth ?....We today have all the many parts of the sign, nearly forty of them, being fulfilled within the same generation, and we have God's timetable, his 'calendar,' showing that the time has nearly run out for the present unrighteous system of things. This is very different indeed from the situation with those who proclaimed an 'end to the world' in earlier generations....The opportunity is still before you, like the open door of the ark built by Noah before the Flood, and like the open gates of Jerusalem when Rome's armies temporarily withdrew. But that door of opportunity will soon close for all time . Prompt action is vital if you would be among the happy survivors of this present system's destruction" (8 October 1968 Awake!, p. 7, 13-14, 23-24, 26).
*** g69 5/22 p. 15 What Future For the Young? ***
"If you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things. Why not? Because all the evidence in fulfillment of Bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system of things is due to end in a few years . Of the generation that observed the beginning of the 'last days' in 1914, Jesus foretold: 'This generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.'-- Matt. 24:34.
Therefore, as a young person , you will never fulfill any career that this system offers. If you are in high school and thinking about a college education, it means at least four, perhaps even six or eight more years to graduate into a specialized career. But where will this system of things be by that time? It will be well on the way toward its finish, if not actually gone !"
