So many changes throughout the WT history!
Is Matthew 25:31 concerning after Armageddon or during/before?
Doesn't matter, whatever the understanding is, it will have changed by this time next year.
It would help if you quoted the scripture and did you try using the 'Search' feature on this forum?
Future:
10/15/95 WT
"25 This means, then, that Jesus’ ‘sitting down on his glorious throne’ for judgment, mentioned at Matthew 25:31, applies to the future point when this powerful King will sit down to pronounce and execute judgment on the nations"
Great question, lambsbottom! It's odd that if you include verses before and after Matthew 25:31, Jws run into problems. Even MORE problems than they did trying to explain the WBTS Inc's teachings, which JWs claim were "their own", BEFORE 1995!
(Matthew 25:31 NWT) 31 “When the Son of man arrives in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit down on his glorious throne.
It was viewed as a compression of events spanning from the invisible arrival to the Big A when all (Hell) breaks loose.
The prophecies in Matthew. Were about the destruction of Jerusalem , the temple and the old covenant. It has nothing to do with the so called end of the world. Messiah told those standing in front of him what would happen in their lifetime and it did.He came back for them as he promised. THe delsuion by religion is that it was a future event
Preterism: Jesus grabs a few Christians in the 1st century. The suffering of humanity continues..... JWism is actually better. At least with the dubs, Jesus is about to do something.

1914 - 2014...... 100 Years of Kingdom Rule!
Disclaimer: Matthew 25:31 has not been fulfilled yet because Jesus has not yet sat down on his glorious throne.
He is only stnading right now. The sitting will occur during future Great Tribulation, when the full 144,001 are in heaven.
At that time the Kingdom Clock can be reset so the 1000 Year Reign of Kingdom Rule can begin, again.
Meanwhile, party like it's 2014, because we now been living under 100 Years of Kingdom Rule! We even have a website!
And a cartoon kid with a plane! And Roku!
THe KIngdom is within man and has been since the 1st century.He rules in the heart sof those who love him. THe Mystery of the ages not known for generations but revealed to the gentiles in the 1st century the mystery is "christ in us" the hope of glory. Messiah has ruled as king for 2000 years.There is no more death or sin for those in Christ.The way into the KIngodm is open for all to enter in. It is no part of this world and cannot be seen .God does not dwell in man made buildings or things made from bricks and mortar he dwells within man.His plan from the very begining was to dwell with man and it was fulfilled in the 1st centruy. SO every human can share in the divine nature of God within them. The realization of this will come to all
