If you read my posts on this forum and some usenet discussion groups you may or should notice I am sympathizing with Jehovah's Witnesses despite of the numerous differences in how we understand the Bible .Nevertheless it is unavidable to recognize Jehovah's Witnesses as the best and only acceptable christian organization to set up the scenario of the end-times as predicted in the Bible. The end of the present world order would not take place unless all end-time signs preceding the actual final end of the evil world take place.
The signs were given by God Yahweh to His people to know the time of the end . So we must search for those people whom God had given the knowledge of knowing the time.
It must be proven that the Bible that was compiled after the first christians passed away is revelant for our times. To do so we must set dates that were originally linked to the rise of the true christian faith . These dates are 7 BC - 2 BC- 11 AD - 29 AD - 33 AD - 36 AD - 70 AD - 106 AD - 119 AD - 150 AD
8 BC - 150 AD = 157 years must be duplicated in the end-time era to have the true christian faith again. And Luke 9.49-50 shows there are two categories of God's servants that teach the truth to the nations.
You have to identify those servants . One small group of servants and one independent servant all from the class 144000 God's people who lead the nations to God through Christ.
If you already read my posts the period is in our times fixed !
1878 AD + 157 years = 2035 AD
7 BC = 1879 AD 2 BC = 1884 AD 5 years + 152 years : 1883 AD - 2035 AD
If we project 70 weeks of Daniel 9.24 into far distand future we have a few variations .
607 BC + 70 weeks as 7 Times (2520 years ) + 70 years =1984 AD
455 BC + 70 weeks as 7 Times ( 420 years ) + 70 years = 36 AD
607 BC - 455 BC = 150 years
1884 AD + 150 years = 2034 AD. We must find a period of 120 years in the likeness of Noah's days .
It can be 1884 AD + 120 years = 2004 AD
And 7 days from Genesis 7.1-4 we can consider as 7 years.
2004 AD + 7 years = 2011 AD
If the end must take place in 2011 AD we must have the two categories of God's servants in place now ! Matthew 24.45 speaks about the faithful servantg giving his food to his flock . This must be taking place for the end to take place !
So we search using the Bible who bests fits the description of those two categories of servants and who have their own followers.
One small group has the organization to rule over while the single servants can have single sympathizers as he cannot establish another competitive organization . He can not be against that small united group of servants .
It is not about your freedom to follow the right time plan God Yahweh had established .
It is about which religious christian organization is the best inn the light of the Bible ! You will not find another one that is better than Jehovah's Witnesses are ! Any critique anyone puts forth is without merit unless you show me the other organization that is better than Jehovah's Witnesses and it you must prove that by superimposing dates from the times when Christ and his first disciples lived upon our times ! Just as I did !
If you don't have that you cannot cirticize Jehovah's Witnesses as you may be fighting with God of the Bible - with His end-time plan !
Once the dates are put in place you have to explain the Book of Revelation in time setting and Matthew 24.3-31 . If the end is coming soon almost all signs must have been already fulfilled.
I am pointing that we are today in Matthew 24.29 since August 11,1999 AD when solar eclipse took place ending the spiritual great tribulation period of 1984 AD - 1999 AD.
Since we can notice the periods : 1984 AD - 1990 AD ,1990 AD-1994 AD,1994 AD-1999 AD we can include the period 1914 AD - 1944 AD in that tribulation.
1914 AD - 1919 AD is for 1994 AD-1999 AD
1929 AD - 1933 AD is for 1990 AD - 1994 AD
1938 AD - 1944 AD is for 1984 AD - 1990 AD
We can know now that since 1914 AD we can begin the explanation of the Book of Revelation.
The Book of Revelation can be divided into two eqaul parts !
chapters 1- 11 : 1914 AD - 1984 AD - 1991 AD +
chapters 12-22 : 1914 AD - 1984 AD - 1991 AD +
