Watchtower of May 1, 1922:
"If the contention of his opponents concerning chronology
is right, then everything that transpired in 1914 and
since must be disregarded as evidence of Messiah's kingdom.
It is admitted by them that the tenure of office
of Israel's kings must be changed in order to agree with
some historians who were agents of Satan. Such a
change would put out of joint all our chronology, and
destroy the value of the dates 1874, 1878, 1881, 1910,
1914, and 1918. Such would be equivalent to saying,
"Where is the proof of Ins presence?" "My Lord delayeth
his coming."-2 Peter ;3: 4; Matthew 2-!: 48."
I guess historians now that say that 587B.C.E. was the destruction of Jerusalem are "agents of Satan"?
I guess that Freddy Franz was "an agent of Satan" when he delayed the chronology by more than 100 years?
Think about it... ;)
