100 years of Divine Direction

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 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 pg.197 (see Deuteronomy 18:21 )

1972... Yes, the time must come shortly that the nations will have to know that" really a Prophet of Jehovah was among them". THE WATCHTOWER 4/1/72 pg 200

1971... The modern-day "Ezekiel"....commissioned to serve as the mouthpiece and active agent of Jehovah....commissioned to speak in the Divine name. : THE NATIONS SHALL KNOW THAT I AM JEHOVAH. PG.54-67

Surely as you can see they have claimed to be a "prophet" . As the Bible tell us, lets test to see if they are a true "Prophet" or a false "Prophet" Deu.18:21 tells us how!!

1897....."Our Lord, the appointed King, is now present, since October 1874," STUDIES IN THE SCRIPTURES, VOL.4 pg.621

1889 :...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, pg.101 (1909) ed.

1914...."The present great war in Europe is the beginning of the Armageddon of the Scriptures." PASTOR RUSSELL'S SERMONS, pg.676

1916....The Bible chronology herein presented show that the six great 1000 year day 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, pg.2 (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, pg.89

1922..."The date 1925 is even more distinctly indicated by the Scriptures then 1914. " THE WATCHTOWER 9/1/22, pg.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 then Noah had upon which to base his faith in a coming deluge." THE WATCHTOWER, 4/1/23 pg.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 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 pg.3

Sept.1925.."It is to be expected that Satan will try to inject into the minds of the consecrated, the thought that 1925 should see and end to the work.: THE WATCHTOWER, pg 262

1926..."Some anticipated that the work would end in 1925, but the Lord did not state so.THE WATCHTOWER, pg.232 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,1925, pg.56

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, pg.338

1938.. "They had preached that in an early time God would overthrow "Christendom". Many had emphasized the year 1925 as the date,and then when that date did not materialize the date was moved up to 1932. Again, 1932 came and "Christendom" was not destroyed,and now it was discovered that "Christendom" would be spared for a while longer for the sake of the Jonadab class, and this made the proud "elective elder" crowd very mad." THE WATCHTOWER 2/15/38 pg.54

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, pg.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 21:18

1968...Why are you looking forward to 1975" THE WATCHTOWER 8/15/68 pg.494

ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE( Deu.18:21) ,IT TAKES ONLY ONE FALSE PROPHECY TO BE A FALSE PROPHET, ARE ANY OF THESE FALSE?
Now read Jeremiah 14:14 May God Bless You
