if we were to look back in time to perhaps when an unprecedented event happened, the first world war .Jesus said there would be war ''For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.'' that first war started in 1914 and as far as you are concerned its a so what event ?? it was never said how long his presents would be before Armageddon would happen .
the separating work continues until the beast has removed the harlot from its back. that event will be marked by the removal of religion . God could give a rip about false religion going quietly into the night . yet when the peoples of the earth see that there is still a people holding on to there faith ,refusing to worship the beast . then its more than God will allow .then Armageddon happens.
thus far it has been 111 years since the year 1914 and there are many saying where is this promised presents . its staring you right in the face .
Dear JW locust,
The Parousia did not occur in 1914 as you falsely teach. There is
one 2nd Coming and it did not happen invisibly in 1914.
The Watchtower's false prophecies just die out quietly when you guys finally realize they are wrong- but until you understand they are wrong- you insist on teaching them as FACT - straight from God.
Then they distort their own history to cover it up..
This is called false prophesying.
What Watchtower said prior to 1914--
"The year A.D. 1878 … clearly marks the time for the actual assuming of power as King of kings, by our present, spiritual, invisible Lord - …" ----The Time is at Hand (1911 ed) p 239-
"But bear in mind that the end of 1914 is not the date for the beginning, but for the END of the time of trouble.
--Zion's Watch Tower 1894 Jul 15 p 226-
------
What Watchtower claims it said prior to 1914--------
"The Watchtower has consistently presented evidence to honesthearted students of Bible prophecy that Jesus’ presence in heavenly Kingdom power began in 1914."---Watchtower 1993 Jan 15 p 5-
"Jehovah's witnesses pointed to the year 1914, decades in advance, as marking the start of "the conclusion of the system of things." Awake! 1973 Jan 22 p 8
Current Watchtower publications are not transparent about the history of their interpretation of 1914.
Russell and Rutherford taught that Jesus' invisible presence
started in 1874.
The end of the Gentile times in 1914 was to signify
God's visible rulership returning to earth.

"Our Lord, the appointed King, is now present since October 1874, A.D., according to the testimony of the prophets, to those who have ears to hear it: and the formal inauguration of his kingly office dates from April 1878, A.D." Studies in Scriptures Series IV (1897) p.621
"The Scriptural proof is that the second presence of the Lord Jesus Christ began in 1874 A.D." Prophecy (1929) p.65
"From 1874 onward is the time of the Lord's second presence, as above stated his circumstantial evidence fulfilling prophecy is what constitutes the physical facts, and is proof corroborative of the Lord's presence since 1874. ... His presence beginning in 1874, he has carried on his harvest work from 1874 forward" Our Lord's Return (1929) pp.27, 33, 37
"… from the beginning of the Lord’s presence in 1874 the Devil used the Papal system as the chief opposing instrument of God’s kingdom …" Watchtower 1930 Sept 15 p 275
It was not until the
Golden Age 1930 p.503 that
Rutherford stated for the first time that Christ's return and "presence" were 1914, instead
of 1874. Knowing this, the Watchtower articles
dishonestly claim that the Organization always understood that 1914 was the year that began Jesus presence and rulership.
Mr Rutherford also prophesied that the end was coming in 1925! He had mansions built in California to house the "worthies- Abraham Isaac and Jacob.."
Rutherford lived in them instead. This was during the Depression. Rutherford lived like a king while everyone else struggled. Rutherford had a terrible drinking problem.
1925 - "Millions Now Living Will Never Die!"
"Millions now living will never die!" exclaimed Rutherford in a series lectures starting 1918. This was
his prophecy that the earthly resurrection would begin 1925, with the return to life of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. This was the central focus of the Jws in the following years. Expectations for 1925 included:
- the end of Christendom
- the return of earth to a paradise
- the resurrection of the dead onto earth
- the Zionist teaching of the reestablishment of Palestine
Of course that prophecy failed-- why?
Jesus taught that Abraham etc would be in heaven.
“I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;-- Matt 8:11
Rutherford was a false prophet. Period. The Watchtower condemns false prophecies of others but never themselves. They use a different uneven scale to measure themselves. That is called hypocrisy. Jesus had quite a bit to say about false teachers/ false prophets.
Read Matt 7
in context. - "Workers of lawlessness" is directed to false prophets.
Next we can go to
1975. I don't know if you were a JW then but my parents were studying then. It was indeed also indeed
FALSE PROPHECY.
Watchtower claims- Jehovah’s Witnesses as the Prophet of God
Watchtower 4/1/72, pages 197-198
“They shall know that a Prophet was among them.”
“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,” (Watchtower, Apr. 1, 1972, p. 197).
Measuring pyramids and falsifying the date of the destruction of Jerusalem and convoluted math problems is no way to predict a thing. It is called, false prophecy. The evidence proves beyond doubt that the destruction of Jerusalem occurred between 586 and 587 B.C.
An objective reading of the Bible and history accepts that without issue.
The Watchtower Society has a heavily vested interest in 1914 and 607 B.C., and so they attempt to dismiss all evidence to the contrary, but anyone who seeks truth can clearly see this error of 607. I advise you to do some real research on this. It is CLEAR.
