ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF DIVINE DIRECTION
compiled by
THE CHRISTIAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE

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.
