STATISTICAL UPDATE:
downloads in just this short time. Put another way, this means that our worldwide online distribution of literature has increased 19.8 percent—by almost ONE-FIFTH—in just 14 days! Further, the growth since the week of Atonement is at 46.5 percent—or almost ONE-HALF—in just 15 weeks! And still further, if we went back another 15 weeks (just 30 weeks ago), the annualized rate was 1,184,000, or an 88.3 percent increase in less than 7 months. However, as big as these two increases are, it can be seen that much of the expansion has come in the last TWO WEEKS—and this when we are just barely beginning to advertise in a bigger way!
These kinds of staggering increases and huge numbers could not 
possibly have been foreseen by anyone except God! They are simply unprecedented in the development of His Work in any age. While the reason this is occurring now will 
have much clearer meaning after hearing the above-referenced sermon, several points tell us a lot. Consider that never before in history have the following three factors come together in one organization where God was directing: (1) The most astonishing array of advanced technology ever available to His Church, (2) the greatest amount of literature ever assembled by His Church, and, most important, these are both coupled with (3) the direct blessings and power of ALMIGHTY GOD HIMSELF!
