"Then the opposition came—hard and fast. Although they initially took a firm stand, 15 years of hostility took their toll. (Ezra 4:1-4) A crushing blow was dealt in 522 B.C.E. when the Persian king banned further building in Jerusalem. The future of that city seemed uncertain.—Ezra 4:21-24" - w17 10/15 p. 27 par 4

"Now issue an order for these men to stop work, so that the city may not be rebuilt" - Ezra 4:21

Even dictatorial governments, including communist governments, could not stop the expansion of God's organisation. Hitler could not; Stalin could not; Trujillo, in the Dominican Republic could not. Mussolini in Italy could not; Ceausescu of Romania could not; Mao Tse-ting could not; Enver Hoxha, dictator of communist Albania, could not. Nobody can because Jehovah is with us!- Gerrit Lösch, Dedication Address: AM 17 Pt 1 (1h16.30")
