  In "The Time is at Hand "by JWS published 1889 it says "True,it is expecting great things to claim ,as we do, that within the coming twentysix years ALL present governments will be over thrown & dissolved ,but we are living in a special & peculiar time,the DAY OF JEHOVAH in which matters culminate quickly,& it is written "A Short Work will the LORD make upon earth ( Vol.1 Chap xv ) Then in the same book we consider it an established truth that the final, end of the kingdoms of this world ,& the full establishment of the Kingdom of God.,will be accomplished by the end of A.D 1914.

  ..I feel like Rumplestillkin & I must have slept for a hundred years...or longer why am I so tired???

  Well, it's a new quote to me!!

  Then in the same book we consider it an established truth that the final, end of the kingdoms of this world ,& the full establishment of the Kingdom of God.,will be accomplished by the end of A.D 1914.

  That seems pretty definite! "The FULL establishment of the Kingdom of God" was accomplished by the end of 1914?

  Somehow, I thought it would be a bit classier than this...

  That particular quote was a new one for me, (((((Grace))))). Thanks for posting it.

  BTW -- you're much cuter than Rumplestiltskin.

  What about this one 1891 Russell in "Thy Kingdom Come"says The fall,plaques,destruction etc fortold to come on mystic Babylon,were fore shadowed in the great trouble & nationael destruction which came upon fleshly Israel, & which ended with the complete over throw of that nation in A.D 70. And the period of falling also corresponds ; for from the time out LORD said "Your House is Abandoned to you desolate A.D 33-to A.D 70 was 361/2 years & so from 1878 to the end of A.D 1914 is 361/2 years.And the end of A.D 1914 What God calls Babylon ,& what man call Christendom,will have passed away,as already shown from prophecy....

  Excuse me???? So many folks are calling themselves Christian someone screwed up methinks .Oh no I remember they are the only Christians (NOT) everyone is is Christendom. How could I foget ?
