    *** w03 12/15 p. 15 Our Watchfulness Takes On Greater Urgency ***

    Warned of “Things Not Yet Beheld”

    6 In Noah’s day, Jehovah declared: “My spirit shall not act toward man indefinitely in that he is also flesh. Accordingly his days shall amount to a hundred and twenty years.” (Genesis 6:3) The issuance of this divine decree in 2490 B.C.E. marked the beginning of the end for that ungodly world. Just think what that meant for those then living! Only 120 years more and Jehovah would bring “the deluge of waters upon the earth to bring to ruin all flesh in which the force of life is active from under the heavens.”—Genesis 6:17.

    7 Noah received the warning of the upcoming catastrophe decades in advance, and he wisely used the time to prepare for survival. “After being given divine warning of things not yet beheld,” says the apostle Paul, “[Noah] showed godly fear and constructed an ark for the saving of his household.” (Hebrews 11:7) What about us? Some 90 years have passed since the last days of this system of things began in 1914. We are certainly in “the time of the end.” (Daniel 12:4) How should we respond to warnings we have been given? “He that does the will of God remains forever,” states the Bible. (1 John 2:17) Now is therefore the time to do Jehovah’s will with a keen sense of urgency.

    Our Watchfulness Takes On Greater Urgency

    I can't help but laugh at that title. Goofy Watchtower phraseology at it's un-finest.

    My theory is that, either with the GB's blessing or possibly at their instigation, the Writing Department came up with that article in order to hint at a new Armageddon date without naming an explicit year. I think they'll trot out this 120 years reasoning a few more times between now and 2014, a year that (I would imagine) they are nervous about.

    Is the Watchtower Predicting The
    End By 2034 Through Subtle Hints?
    The Watchtower, December 15, 2003, Pages 14 - 19

    Please be patient while the web page loads page scans of the Watchtower article

    Noah preached 120 years until the time of the flood, which was the time of the end to Noah and his generation . The December 15, 2003 Watchtower article is paralleling Noah's day to our present day. The Society is adding a 120 years to the 1914 date to come up with the hinted date of 2034.

    Words such as "Similar, Similarly, Similarity, Similarities, Parallel, Corresponds, Characteristic, Compare, Arklike and more are all through the article to back up their subtle and hinted claims.

    Page 15, Paragraph 6 "In Noah's day, Jehovah declared: 'My spirit shall not act toward man indefinitely in that he is also flesh. Accordingly his days shall amount to a hundred and twenty years.' (Genesis 6:3) The issuance of this divine decree in 2490 B.C.E. marked the beginning of the end for that ungodly world. Just think what that meant for those then living! Only 120 years more and Jehovah would bring 'the deluge of waters upon the earth to bring to ruin all flesh in which the force of life is active from under the heavens.' - Genesis 6:17"

    Page 15, Paragraph 7 "Noah received the warning of the upcoming catastrophe decades in advance and he wisely used the time to prepare for survival.' After being given divine warning of things not yet beheld,' says the apostle Paul, '[Noah] showed godly fear and constructed an ark for the saving of his household.' (Hebrews 11:7) What about us? Some 90 years have passed since the last days of this system of things began in 1914. We are certainly in 'the time of the end.' (Daniel 12:4) How should we respond to warnings we have been given? 'He that does the will of God remains forever,' states the Bible. (1 John 2:17) Now is therefore the time to do Jehovah's will with a keen sense of urgency."

    Page 15, Paragraph 9 "Jehovah has kept these warnings in front of his people by means of timely reminders through the spiritual food provided by 'the faithful and discreet slave'"....

    Yellow Highlighting is Ours

    The blue underling in the article is of importance.
    The red underlining is of utmost importance!

    Another example of false hope foisted on the R&F by Jehovah's insidious and manipulative mouthpiece, the FDS. Similar to '75.

    Neato! Garybuss. The JW artist was indeed inspired by divine intervention. Or maybe it was just the latest issue of Stern magazine.

    LOL Gary, reminds me of when the Watchtower ripped off a Johnny Walker ad.

    Just think what that meant for those then living! Only 120 years more and Jehovah would bring “the deluge of waters upon the earth to bring to ruin all flesh...

    Um.... only 120 years? Ok so people lived 8-900 years but that still doesn't seem like it would inspire anyone to panic.
