The Watchtower, “Part 1—Flashes of Light—Great and Small”
“In time, flashes of light revealed that Jehovah’s chief purpose was, not the salvation of creatures, but the vindication of his sovereignty. The most important theme of the Bible was seen to be, not the ransom, but the Kingdom, for it will vindicate Jehovah’s sovereignty.”
The paragraph records a change in the organisation's account of what the Bible is chiefly about, and adds that “Dedicated Christians were no longer primarily concerned with their getting to heaven.”
