ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF DIVINE DIRECTION

1897

"Our Lord, the appointed King, is now present, since October

1874,"

Studies In The Scriptures, Vol. 4, p. 621

1899

"...the 'battle of the great day of God Almighty' (Revelation

16:14), which will end in A.D. 1914 with the complete overthrow

of earth's present rulership, is already commenced."

The Time Is At Hand, p. 101 (1908 edition)

1916

"The Bible chronology herein presented show that the six great

1000 year days beginning with Adam are ended, and that the great

7th Day, the 1000 years of Christ's Reign, began in 1873."

The Time Is At Hand, p. ii, (forward)

1918

"Therefore we may confidently expect that 1925 will mark the

return of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the faithful prophets of old,

particularly those named by the Apostle in Hebrews 11, to the

condition of human perfection."

Millions Now Living Will Never Die, p. 89

1922

"The date 1925 is even more distinctly indicated by the

Scriptures than 1914."

The Watchtower 9/1/22, p. 262

1923

"Our thought is, that 1925 is definitely settled by the

Scriptures. As to Noah, the Christian now has much more upon

which to base his faith than Noah had upon which to base his

faith in a coming deluge."

The Watchtower 4/1/23, p. 106

1925

"The year 1925 is here. With great expectation Christians have

looked forward to this year. Many have confidently expected that

all members of the body of Christ will be changed to heavenly

glory during this year. This may be accomplished. It may not

be. In his own due time God will accomplish his purposes

concerning his people. Christians should not be so deeply

concerned about what may transpire this year."

The Watchtower 1/1/25, p. 3

 

 

 

September 1925

"It is to be expected that Satan will try to inject into the

minds of the consecrated, the thought that 1925 should see an end

to the work."

The Watchtower, p. 262

1926

"Some anticipated that the work would end in 1925, but the Lord

did not state so. The difficulty was that the friends inflated

their imaginations beyond reason; and that when their

imaginations burst asunder, they were inclined to throw away

everything."

The Watchtower, p. 232

1931

"There was a measure of disappointment on the part of Jehovah's

faithful ones on earth concerning the years 1914, 1918, & 1925,

which disappointment lasted for a time...and they also learned to

quit fixing dates."

Vindication, p. 338

1941

"Receiving the gift, the marching children clasped it to them,

not a toy or plaything for idle pleasure, but the Lord's provided

instrument for most effective work in the remaining months before

Armageddon."

The Watchtower 9/15/41, p. 288

1968

"True, there have been those in times past who predicted an 'end

to the world', even announcing a specific date. Yet nothing

happened. The 'end' did not come. They were guilty of false

prophesying. Why? What was missing?...Missing from such people

were God's truths and the evidence that he was using and guiding

them."

Awake 10/8/68 see Luke 21:8

1968

"Why are you looking forward to 1975?"

The Watchtower 8/15/68, p. 494

1972 - IDENTIFYING THE "PROPHET"

"So, does Jehovah have a prophet to help them, to warn them of

dangers and to declare things to come? These questions can be

answered in the affirmative. Who is this prophet?...This

'prophet' was not one man, but was a body of men and women. It

was the small group of footstep followers of Jesus Christ, known

at that time as International Bible Students. Today they are

known as Jehovah's Christian witnesses...Of course, it is easy to

say that this group acts as a 'prophet' of God. It is another

thing to prove it."

The Watchtower 4/1/72 see Deuteronomy 18:21)

THERE IS ONE GOD

Deuteronomy 6:4

This graph shows that there is one God. Jesus in Revelation 1:17

is the First and Last. YAHWEH in Isaiah 41:4 is the First and

Last. Hence one God.

The references on the right are New Testament references of

Jesus. The references on the left, opposite the New Testament

references are Old Testament references of YAHWEH.
