ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF DIVINE DIRECTION Written by: Christian Research Institute    Posted on: 05/01/2003 Category: Cults / Sects / Non Christian Religions and Topics Source: CCN               ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF DIVINE DIRECTION                           compiled by                 THE CHRISTIAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE 1897 "Our Lord, the appointed King, is now present, since October 1874," Studies In The Scriptures, Vol. 4, p. 621 1899 "...the 'battle of the great day of God Almighty' (Revelation 16:14), which will end in A.D. 1914 with the complete overthrow of earth's present rulership, is already commenced." The Time Is At Hand, p. 101 (1908 edition) 1916 "The Bible chronology herein presented show that the six great 1000 year days beginning with Adam are ended, and that the great 7th Day, the 1000 years of Christ's Reign, began in 1873." The Time Is At Hand, p. ii, (forward) 1918 "Therefore we may confidently expect that 1925 will mark the return of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the faithful prophets of old, particularly those named by the Apostle in Hebrews 11, to the condition of human perfection." Millions Now Living Will Never Die, p. 89 1922 "The date 1925 is even more distinctly indicated by the Scriptures than 1914." The Watchtower 9/1/22, p. 262 1923 "Our thought is, that 1925 is definitely settled by the Scriptures.  As to Noah, the Christian now has much more upon which to base his faith than Noah had upon which to base his faith in a coming deluge." The Watchtower 4/1/23, p. 106 1925 "The year 1925 is here.  With great expectation Christians have looked forward to this year.  Many have confidently expected that all members of the body of Christ will be changed to heavenly glory during this year.  This may be accomplished.  It may not be.  In his own due time God will accomplish his purposes concerning his people.  Christians should not be so deeply concerned about what may transpire this year." The Watchtower 1/1/25, p. 3 September 1925 "It is to be expected that Satan will try to inject into the minds of the consecrated, the thought that 1925 should see an end to the work." The Watchtower, p. 262 1926 "Some anticipated that the work would end in 1925, but the Lord did not state so.  The difficulty was that the friends inflated their imaginations beyond reason; and that when their imaginations burst asunder, they were inclined to throw away everything." The Watchtower, p. 232 1931 "There was a measure of disappointment on the part of Jehovah's faithful ones on earth concerning the years 1914, 1918, & 1925, which disappointment lasted for a time...and they also learned to quit fixing dates." Vindication, p. 338 1941 "Receiving the gift, the marching children clasped it to them, not a toy or plaything for idle pleasure, but the Lord's provided instrument for most effective work in the remaining months before Armageddon." The Watchtower 9/15/41, p. 288 1968 "True, there have been those in times past who predicted an 'end to the world', even announcing a specific date.  Yet nothing happened.  The 'end' did not come.  They were guilty of false prophesying.  Why?  What was missing?...Missing from such people were God's truths and the evidence that he was using and guiding them." Awake 10/8/68  see Luke 21:8 1968 "Why are you looking forward to 1975?" The Watchtower 8/15/68, p. 494 1972 - IDENTIFYING THE "PROPHET" "So, does Jehovah have a prophet to help them, to warn them of dangers and to declare things to come?  These questions can be answered in the affirmative. Who is this prophet?...This 'prophet' was not one man, but was a body of men and women.  It was the small group of footstep followers of Jesus Christ, known at that time as International Bible Students.  Today they are known as Jehovah's Christian witnesses...Of course, it is easy to say that this group acts as a 'prophet' of God.  It is another thing to prove it." The Watchtower 4/1/72  see Deuteronomy 18:21)                         JESUS IS YAHWEH ------------------------------------------------------------ Job 33:4 John 1:3 Isaiah 40:28 CREATOR Colossians 1:16-17 Genesis 1:1 Hebrews 1:10-12 ------------------------------------------------------------ Psalms 106:21 John 4:42 Isaiah 45:21-23 SAVIOR 1 John 4:14 Isaiah 43:3,11 Acts 4:12 ------------------------------------------------------------ Jeremiah 10:10 Matthew 2:1-6 Isaiah 44:6 KING Luke 23:3 Psalms 47:8 John 19:21 ------------------------------------------------------------ Joel 3:12 2 Timothy 4:1 Genesis 18:25 JUDGE 2 Corinthians 5:10 Hebrews 12:23 Romans 14:10 ------------------------------------------------------------ John 8:24 Exodus 3:14 John 8:58 Isaiah 43:10 I AM John 13:19 Deuteronomy 32:39 John 18:5 ------------------------------------------------------------ Isaiah 17:10 1 Corinthians 10:4 2 Samuel 22:32 ROCK 1 Peter 2:6-8 Deuteronomy 32:4 Numbers 20:10-11 ------------------------------------------------------------ Isaiah 40:11 John 10:11 Psalms 100 SHEPHERD Hebrews 13:20 Psalms 23 1 Peter 5:4 ------------------------------------------------------------ John 8:12 Isaiah 60:20 LIGHT Luke 2:23 Psalms 27:1 John 1:9 ------------------------------------------------------------ Isaiah 48:12 Revelation 1:17 Isaiah 44:6 FIRST & LAST Revelation 2:8 Isaiah 41:4 Revelation 22:13 ------------------------------------------------------------                         THERE IS ONE GOD                         Deuteronomy 6:4 This graph shows that there is one God.
