Online Dating Jehovah Witness
Jehovah’s Witnesses, When is the next date you are saying the world will end and where can I find a list?
And where can I find a list – online – of all the dates of your church’s previous predictions?
@ Mom C. – I thought the Watchtower was part of Jehovah’s Witnesses. If it’s not, please change my question to what dates Watchtower predicted and are predicting. Thanks.
The following quotes should give you a good start on your list:
“Be not surprised, then, when in subsequent chapters we present proofs that the setting up of the Kingdom of God is already begun, that it is pointed out in prophecy as due to begin the exercise of power in A.D. 1878, and that the “battle of the great day of God Almighty” (Rev. 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, 1907, p101)
“Be not surprised, then, when in subsequent chapters we present proofs that the setting up of the Kingdom of God is already begun, that it is pointed out in prophecy as due to begin the exercise of power in A.D. 1878, and that the “battle of the great day of God Almighty” (Rev. 16:14), which will END in A.D. 1915 with the complete overthrow of earth’s present rulership, is already commenced.” (The Time is At Hand, 1915, p101)
“And the other.— The final form, of Arbitrator (whatever be the official title). Is not yet come.— But is due to make its appearance with the close of the war, some time about October 1st, 1917…Pastor Russell foretold the DARKNESS would come Oct. 1st. 1914, and it did!” (The Finished Mystery, 1917, p268, emphasis in original)
“The 15th verse of that same chapter refers to the Great Pyramid, the measurements of which confirm the Bible teaching that 1878 marked the beginning of the harvest of the Gospel age. The parallel, therefore, would establish definitely that the harvest would close forty years thereafter; to wit, in the spring of A. D. 1918. If this be true, and the evidence is very conclusive that it is true, then we have only a few months in which to labor before the great night settles down when no man can work.” (WT 10/1/17, p292)
(1) “We anticipate that the ‘earthquake’ will occur early in 1918, and that the ‘fire’ will come in the fall of 1920.” (2) “And every island fled away.— Even the republics will disappear in the fall of 1920.” (3) “As the fleshly-minded apostates from Christianity, siding with the radicals and revolutionaries, will rejoice at the inheritance of desolation that will be Christendom’s after 1918, so will God do to the successful revolutionary movement; it shall be utterly desolated, ‘even all of it.’ Not one vestige of it shall survive the ravages of worldwide all-embracing anarchy, in the fall of 1920. (Rev. 11:7-13.)” (The Finished Mystery, 1918 ed, pp258, 313, 542)
That period of time beginning 1575 before A. D. 1 of necessity would end in the fall of the year 1925, at which time the type ends and the great antitype must begin. What, then, should we expect to take place? In the type there must be a full restoration; therefore the great antitype must mark the beginning of restoration of all things…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 chapter eleven, to the condition of human perfection.” (Millions Now Living Will Never Die!, 1920, pp88-90).
“The date 1925 is even more distinctly indicated by the scriptures than 1914.” (WT 9/1/22, p262)
“The year 1925 is a date definitely and clearly marked in the Scriptures, even more clearly than that of 1914.” (WT, 7/15/1924, p211)
“The Kingdom is here, the King is enthroned. Armageddon is just ahead. The glorious reign of Christ that shall bring blessings to the world will immediately follow. Therefore the great climax has been reached. Tribulation has fallen upon those who stand by the Lord.” (The Messenger, 9/1/40, p6)
“in the remaining months before Armageddon.” (WT, 9/15/41, p288)
