After studying the Bible I came to see/realize that God have ever known that He wrote regarding ancient events in an “hidden way” (Proverbs 25:2 ),
and so, He didn’t command to his worshipers to find the real/exact chronological data of events of human history (or about its empires and states from Adam until today)
in case He would command this , knowing how difficult is to come to a conclusion in chronology and how much time it requires , then God’s worshipers would be called “historians” not “Christians”
But now , a certain “chronology” still exist , and God does invite us to understand it , even in order to “know the judgement”
Ecclesiastes 8:
5. "Whoso keepeth the commandment shall know no evil thing;
>> and a wise man’s heart discerneth time and judgment" <<
Yes , it is a good thing to know the time of God’s judgement !
here are Jesus words / Luke 19:
41. And when he drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it,
42. saying, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
43. For the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
44. and shall dash thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another;
>> because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.<<
here we are able to see that is a good thing to be able to recognize the time of our “visitation” >> that implies a little but necessary knowledge of “chronology”
But, what (kind of) chronology ?
The chronology God requires from us to search for, is part of prophecies regarding “God’s people during the latter days”, as He said to Daniel
chapter 10
14. Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall
– thy people
– in the latter days; for the vision is yet for many days:
It follows that the chronology God is requiring from us/His worshipers to search for, is in fact
THE CHRONOLOGY of "THE LATTER DAYS" !
Here is a research on the “latter days chronology”, as I was able to put it in english:

WW I, the Gentile Times, and the Last days...the not so exact science of chronology
by Separation of Powers inessentially, the jw position regarding the end of the gentile times and the significance of 1914 revolve around a principal element, namely, that the "great war" (ww1) was an indication of the anger of the dragon, i.e satan, after being cast out of heaven per revelation 12:7-9 and the start of the sign of the last days.
this has always been a sticky point for the organization....why?.
because, based on their chronology, the gentile times ended in october 3/4 of 1914 with the last days commencing from that point on.

Jesus received the authority both over heavens and over earth at his resurrection
yet He started ruling ( or exercising his authority) only in heavens
and had to wait ( only ) regarding the earth / the Kingdom authority is not yet implemented over earth
( the kingdom's coming on earth means also the end of wikedness)
these things were debated already here

Proof that Satan is in control of the WT and THAT is why the new change will come.....
by EndofMysteries inif anybody ever read the two babylons book, it detailed how christianity became corrupt.
how over time, not on the spot, but slowly changes were implemented, it started with forbidding anybody to read or hold the bible, and only the leader/pope etc could teach, once there was full absolute power, then satan was able to put in anything he wanted to corrupt it all.
i am not going to list the articles and scriptures, everybody can find those, i'm just going to quickly show from the history to now how it's happened and the proof and what is happening now.

Absolute sure that Satan is in control over wt leadership
Jesus revealed this in his Revelation chapt 13:
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion:
and the dragon (Satan) gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority.
here is about authority over those seeking God and his kingdom
and in fact this is the "great tribulation" : the period of time when the "beast" rules over the "people of saints" / because this GT is meant to be over God's worshipers (believers) , not over oposers !

If we are Christians, we should believe Jesus words :
John 12:31:
"Now is the time for judgment on this world;
now the prince of this world will be driven out.... -

Another reason why 1914 is WRONG
by EdenOne ineven if 607 had been the actual date of the destruction of jerusalem .... 1914 would still be wrong.
when the wts says that "7 times" equals 2 x 3,5 times of revelation = 2 x 1260 days = 2520 days > one day / one year rule = 2520 years.. now, 2520 / 7 times means that one "time" has 360 "days".
this corresponds to the lunar year.
