The Kingdom of God is already begun, which is pointed out in prophecy as due to begin the exercise of power in A.D. 1878, and that the "battle of the great day of God Almighty" which will end in 1914 with the complete overthrow of the earth's present rulership, is already commenced.
I just did the math....and Russell was right. Christ returned invisibly in 1874 and took rulership (restored kingdom reign) in 1878.
2520 years minus 607 when Jerusalem was destroyed = 1913 (accounting for no year zero) = 1914
That`s 2520 - 607 = 2014
But wait, that`s 2520 prophetic years of 360 days, not solar days of 365.25 days. To convert to solar days then one must multuiply 2520 x 365.25 which gives us 2,484 actual years. Then we subtract 607 and guess what....
2484 - 607 = 1877 (accounting for no year zero) = 1878
So as Russell preached, Christ has been reigning since 1878.
