No, it is because WT scholars are too smart.
It is because of God’s Holy spirit.

There isn't a single scholar that would suggest 607 as the date of Jerusalem's destruction.
They are wrong in their interpretation of archeology. But let’s assume the circa 586 interpretation (because that is all it is a belief) that would still put us a few years after1914 ( circa 1935) which is very close to 1914 as the end of the Gentile Times. But compared to the events of 1914 the first world war that seems to fulfill Bible prophecy so one would have to go back and re evaluate 586 premise. Based on God’s word using Bible chronology the year is 607. There is zero empirical evidence that 586 is the destruction of Jerusalem -only an interpretation of the Stele which Scholar refuted in previous thread years ago. 1914 has not been debunked.

Besides, as I see it, Jesus was enthroned in the first century CE.
That is not true.Compare hebrews 10:12 with Psalms 110:1.
Also, 1914 is not a made up date. It is based on Bible interpretation of the 7X. Cant be debunked. And Babylon fell in 539-70 is circa 607. 1914 is a solid date. I think that Oct 1914 is the end of the Gentile Times. Everything is arguable and that is why Jesus’s proof of being the Messiah was rejected in the 1 century . But not without consequences.

Don’t think WT now teaches that. “circa 1914” not 1914 as discussed in another thread,

The Genesis 3:15 woman.
by Fisherman ingenesis 3:15 says that the woman’s seed would be in enmity with the serpent’s seed.
although the bible reveals that the woman’s seed is jesus and christians that go to heaven with christ, it does not identify the woman directly.
we at jw believe that the woman is symbolic.

I think Rev. 12:17 might be referring to Christianity as a whole.
But if the seed( as Paul explains) refers to Jesus and Christians that go to heaven, the new Jerusalem, the bride of Christ, then the woman cannot be the same entity.

How is the 'Cost of Living Crisis' affecting you?
by nicolaou inhere in the uk we've recently had the price cap on household energy bills raised by around £800 and there'll be another similar raise this autumn.. food prices are up, petrol is around £1.82 per litre - that's $10.37 per gallon for our american friends - and inflation is currently running at 9%.
business are being hit as ordinary folk prioritise their spending.
young folks are effectively priced out of the housing market and wage rises are not keeping pace.. mrs nic' and i are fortunate in that we're both in secure employment and with the kids moved out and mortgage paid off our outgoings are thankfully low.

Paid 1000$ for a roll of tissue paper. I don’t think it was worth it.

Looks like Paul is creating a small contradiction with his 'seed' references.
Throw God’s word out then but the scripture cannot be invalidated.

And to seeds,” as in the case of many such, [i.e. 144,000] but as in the case of one: “And to your seed,” who is Christ.”
Paul explains:
16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. It says, not: “And to seeds,” as in the case of many such, but as in the case of one: “And to your seed,” who is Christ.
26 YOU are all, in fact, sons of God through YOUR faith in Christ Jesus.
29 Moreover, if YOU belong to Christ, YOU are really Abraham’s seed, heirs with reference to a promise.
Could the 'woman' picture the entity of Christianity?
“The Jerusalem above is free and she is our mother.”

Jesus is Michael the Archangel
by Fisherman inonly jesus has the power and authority to defeat satan and kick him out of heaven:.
“now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our god and the authority of his christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our god.”.

intentionally mislead the reader to erroneously conclude God and Christ are the same.
I was referring to concluding that Jesus is Michael. Who else has the power and authority to evict Satan? The scriptures clearly distinguish between God and Jesus there is not mistake about it. God is God although Jesus may be given power of attorney to act as God’s proxy also such as Moses in roles. God has no role except that he can become whatever he likes if you consider that role playing.
Michael, one of the foremost princes,
You can read that the way you do but in harmony with all the other scriptures, the verse is not implying that there are many archangels. It is only another example of poetic language humbly describing Michael’s role in comparison to other angels not belittling them. Any angel can act as a prince for a particular purpose let’s say in some role on earth compared. to humans. Such angel can be considered a prince. Another way of looking at it is that Michael like other high ranking angels is a prince (but as God’s only begotten he is archangel.) But WT has made it clear that the belief that Jesus is Michael is a conclusion and not directly stated in God’s word. But. there is no other conclusion because Michael defeats and evicts Satan and only Jesus can do that.
