The "read me" file preface says that the CD may be copied and distributed, with the conditions "the only thing you can't do is sell the CD or any of the files on it, or change any of the files."
Anyone who'd like a copy, I'd be glad to help.

Ecclesiastes 9:8 "Let thy garments be always white..."
Page 50-51 Faith On The March
He pointed out
that this term 'the times of the Gentiles' applied to the period
beginning with the time that kings ceased to rule in God's
typical theocratic nation of Israel and ending with the setting
up of Jesus Christ as the rightful King of the whole world. He
said this period began in the year 607 B.C. and was due to end
A.D. 1914.
Here is the way the chronology was determined:
King David, first of the Judean kings of Israel, was said to
sit 'on the throne of Jehovah.' His dynasty thus continued
theocratic rule until it was overthrown in the days of Zedekiah
at the destruction of Jerusalem. This date is reckoned from
secular and Biblical history as the fall of 607 B.C. At that time
it was foretold that the theocratic line of Israel's kings would
be interrupted until he came 'whose right it is.' In view of
Jerusalem's capture by a pagan king this would infer a period
of rule by Gentiles until the time for God to set up his own
Kingdom. Jesus, during his first advent, spoke of these 'times
of the Gentiles' and indicated they would expire at his return
or second advent. If it could be determined how long the
'times of the Gentiles' were to last, then the time for Christ's
return and the setting up of his kingdom would be known as a
certainty.
Now, of course, the date I 9 I 4 itself is not given in the Bible.
Neither was the date of Jesus' first advent, for that matter, yet
the Jews were expecting him.g Just so, the length of the period
referred to as the 'times of the Gentiles' is indicated in the
Bible but it is given in symbolic language. Foretelling a temporary
period of insanity for Jerusalem's captor, Nebuchadnezzar,
because of his high-handed disregard of Jehovah's rule,
the prophecy says: 'They shall make thee to eat grass as
oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that
the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to
whomsoever he will."
This prophecy was literally fulfilled won Nebuchadnezzar
as a symbol of the rule of the nations. When the time expired
his kingdom was restored to him and he recognized the supremacy
of Jehovah. That is why the restoration of theocratic
rule in the hands of Jesus Christ was to be expected at the end
of the 'Gentile times' and after 'seven times' had elapsed.
The clue for the length of this period is given at Revelation
12:6, 14 in connection with another prophecy though not related
to this one. There, I ,260 days are shown to equal 'a time,
and times, and half a time.' This must be figured as 'one time,
plus two times, plus one-half time' or three and one-half
times, since another unrelated prophecy at Revelation I I : 2, 3
shows 1,260 days as 42 months, which is obviously three and
one-half years of 360 days each. On this basis, 'seven times'
would be twice 1,260 days, or 2,520 days.
If the prophecy of Daniel were figured literally as applied
to the 'Gentile times' then the 'seven times' would be only
seven years and would have expired long before Jesus' first
advent, yet as we have seen, he spoke of the times of the Gentiles
as still carrying on. How, then, is this period to be
figured?
On two different occasions at least, in the matter of judgment,
Jehovah used a day to represent a year. Following this
pattern, 2,520 days in the prophecy become 2,520 years in the
fulfillment. If the length of time of uninterrupted Gentile rule
of earth's nations was to be 2,520 years, then the period would
run from the fall of 607 B.C. to A.D. 1914. On the basis of this
chronology, the time of Christ's second presence and the beginning
of his kingdom rule was confidently expected in the
fall of A.D. 1914, and Russell was prompted to announce confidently
in October, 1914, "The Gentile times have ended;
their kings have had their day."
