Or we could apply the very latest WT thinking to this account of Daniel and the tree dream, which is that unless there is a clear indication to do so, we do not look for types and antitypes.
There is no clear indication that this dream meant anything other than Nebuchadnezzar being humbled for 7 years, which happened during Daniels lifetime. Any meaning beyond this is pure conjecture.
Also thrown into the mix is that the 7 'times' are said to begin in 607 BCE. This start date is wrong.
Finally, the sign of WW2 is meant to prove this date but in reality we know that WW2 began months before this prophetic date arrives.
Add this speculative prophecy to an incorrect start date, and you have the foundation for the core JW belief of 1914.
JW's are told to look at the sign in Mt 24 and particularly note that no individual sign means anything special, only when they all occur together. The same is true for the reasoning about 7 times and 1914.
If just one part was proved to be wrong then you could maybe explain it away saying "well the rest is true, we just need to understand that one part better".
When you see that every component part of that interpretation is wrong, it is a sign that you should not believe it.
