Nota de procedencia y verificación for The Watchtower (original magazine printing), 'The Hand of Jehovah Was With Them'

Nota de confianza. Comparison scan (magazine page and bound-volume page of w89 1/1 p. 12) opened and read as images by the independent source auditor on 19 September 2026: the magazine reads 'in our 20th century', the bound volume 'in our day'; both pages carry the footer '12 THE WATCHTOWER—JANUARY 1, 1989'. The scan is catalogued under a French title but reproduces the English page.

Procedencia del escaneo. Internet Archive upload by Veillez.org: side-by-side scan of p. 12 in the magazine and in the bound volume. The PDF's OCR layer is empty, so the image was not machine-read in this session.

1 de enero de 1989 · p.12 · par. 8 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“He was also laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our day.”

Same sentence as the magazine printing, with 'in our 20th century' replaced by 'in our day'.

Nota de confianza. Opened on wol; page marker 12; wording 'in our day' confirmed; a wol phrase search for 'completed in our 20th century' returns nothing.
