That whole thing is based on a lot of speculation...........parts of it are right, parts are not.

A. He assumes that Rutherford and Russell were single handedly chosen.

1. Rutherford taught many things not true, and the idenfifying Christ's true followers, he didn't seem to match any of it. (Matched pharasee living rich luxury life. (Compare Paul who was poor tried to not take any money, vs Rutherford, who had a "mansion" built in CA, a rolls royce, all compliments of funds for the preaching work.

2. Russell 'published' but most of what he got initially was from other people and groups.

B. The 7 times are no where in scripture equated to 70 years.

C. The 3.5, 1290 days, etc, all are part of the "70th" week.

D. The wild beast kills/defeast the holy ones/messiah/2 witnesses, etc at the middle of the week. The end of it is when they are raised.

E. Scriptures in every prophesy show there is no "one" group that has it right at the end. (First few books of Revelation are a good summary)

Bottom line, he has some truth, on linking prophecies and such, but tying them all together and conclusions are far off. I'd like to see explanation on events with all the scriptures he was posting with days/years/times, the events that were to happen during them. It's like knowing enough but still not knowing, so as to be dangerous.

Try this book: "A History of the End of the World" by Jonathan Kirsch.

You can't even correctly calculate years from Adam to the flood so to obtain full chronology from Adam to our day is impossible. WTS are not the only crazy ones out there who choose to have their own version of bible chronology and they're not the last. There is no point of even trying to figure out the impossible.

That's from "Bible Students" forum. I know rus virgil from there.

While he posted it on the Bible Students forum, Rus is not affiliated with the Binle Students. In fact Rus posted his diatribe on several forums, hoping to get a listening ear. Rus as you may or may not know is a former meember of the True Faith Jehovah's Witnesses in Romania.

Harper Collins web site :

http://www.harpercollins.com/books/9780061199295/A_History_of_the_End_of_the_World/index.aspx

provides the following information on "A History of the End of the World" by Jonathan Kirsch.

Book Description

"[The Book of] Revelation has served as a "language arsenal" in a great many of the social, cultural, and political conflicts in Western history. Again and again, Revelation has stirred some dangerous men and women to act out their own private apocalypses. Above all, the moral calculus of Revelation—the demonization of one's enemies, the sanctification of revenge taking, and the notion that history must end in catastrophe—can be detected in some of the worst atrocities and excesses of every age, including our own. For all of these reasons, the rest of us ignore the book of Revelation only at our impoverishment and, more to the point, at our own peril."

The mysterious author of the Book of Revelation (or the Apocalypse, as the last book of the New Testament is also known) never considered that his sermon on the impending end times would last beyond his own life. In fact, he predicted that the destruction of the earth would be witnessed by his contemporaries. Yet Revelation not only outlived its creator; this vivid and violent revenge fantasy has played a significant role in the march of Western civilization.

Ever since Revelation was first preached as the revealed word of Jesus Christ, it has haunted and inspired hearers and readers alike. The mark of the beast, the Antichrist, 666, the Whore of Babylon, Armageddon, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are just a few of the images, phrases, and codes that have burned their way into the fabric of our culture. The questions raised go straight to the heart of the human fear of death and obsession with the afterlife. Will we, individually or collectively, ride off to glory, or will we drown in hellfire for all eternity? As those who best manipulate this dark vision learned, which side we fall on is often a matter of life or death. Honed into a weapon in the ongoing culture wars between states, religions, and citizenry, Revelation has significantly altered the course of history.

Kirsch, whom the Washington Post calls "a fine storyteller with a flair for rendering ancient tales relevant and appealing to modern audiences," delivers a far-ranging, entertaining, and shocking history of this scandalous book, which was nearly cut from the New Testament. From the fall of the Roman Empire to the Black Death, the Inquisition to the Protestant Reformation, the New World to the rise of the Religious Right, this chronicle of the use and abuse of the Book of Revelation tells the tale of the unfolding of history and the hopes, fears, dreams, and nightmares of all humanity.

The book seems to come from the mind of a faithless man at odds with God.

Paul

When one tries to build a Kingdom around yourself with you as the operating and powerful king of that kingdom ,

you tend to hear an enormous amount of convoluted BS. Done religiously of course.
