Here are just a few new "Messianic" truths recently revealed which the WBTS are in the dark about which you can check out in your Bibles.
1. For one, the 1st of Cyrus and the "70 weeks" prophecy begins in 455BCE. The rebuilding began
in the 7th month which is during the Festival of Booths, the very month Jesus was supposed to begin his 3-1/2 year ministry. Certainly, it did not take just 52 days to build a wall around Jerusalem later in the 20th year of
Artaxerxes. The walls were already rebuilt.
2. There is no resurrection during the millennium. The first resurrection which occurs just before the millennium during the "last day" are only of the anointed Bride Class (144,000, whether technically more or not, those severing as kings and priests during the millennium). The second resurrection is the general resurrection after the millennium, after Satan has been destroyed, and this resurrection of both the "righteous and the unrighteous" is for final judgment and is called "JUDGMENT DAY."
3. Three books not quoted from by the Christian Bible writers should be considered apocryphal and thus non-inspired and they are: Song of Solomon, the Book of Esther, and Ecclesiastes. Sorry.
4. The "woman" mentioned at Genesis 3:15 whose seed will be at enmity with Christ's seed refers subtly to Satan's original relationship with Jesus himself, that is, as his "woman" or his spiritual wife. That's right folks, Genesis 3:15 records the first divorce! Jesus was married to the "angel currently known as Satan" who proved unfaithful. His new wife, taken from the earth, will be tested first before his second marriage. His Dragon-Lady first wife, Satan, will be thrown into the Lake of fire for apostasy.
5. Matthew 12:40 which speaks of Jesus being in the grave for "three days and three nights" is actually true. Passover is celebrated on the 15th of Nisan, the night the Jews left Egypt (Numbers 33:3) and thus Jesus could not have died on Nisan 14th. Instead, he died in the late afternoon of Thursday, Nisan 20th. He was resurrected on Nisan 23rd, appeared for 40 days, then ascended to heaven. His disciples thus received holy spirit on Pentecost not 10 days after the ascension, but only 3 days after the ascension, since Jesus was resurrected one week later than is normally believed and taught by those in the dark.
6. Per Jer. 52:30 the last deportation was during the 23rd year of Nebuchadnezzar which means the 70-year exile period or "sabbath rest" period for the land did not begin until the 23rd year, 4 years after the destruction of Jerusalem. Jer. 44:14 and 28 indicates, further, that a small remnant of those not killed by Nebuchadnezzar's 23rd year campaign would actually return to Jerusalem to testify to the city just how few of those who disobediently ran down to Egypt actually survived to return. These were later deported to Babylon. Josephus confirms this chronology specifically, dating a 70-year "desert" period beginning the 23rd year of Nebuchadnezzar. So? So this means 1914 is miscalculated when dating 2520 years from 607BCE since, according to scripture, even if you use the wrong date for the return of the Jews in 537BCE, 607BCE would mark the 23rd year of Nebuchadnezzar and 611BCE the 19th year when the last king of Judah was on David's throne. Thus even though 607BCE is also a wrong date for the fall of Jerusalem, it should be dated to 511BCE which would end the 2520 years in 1910 instead of 1914. More darkness. Of note, though, there is lots of confusion over the dating for this period and no one is expected not to be confused. But no matter what date you focus on for the fall of Jerusalem, whether 607BCE, 587BCE or 529BCE (the correct date), 2520 years still places the "last generation" quite solidly in the post-1914 period, proving we are living in the "time of the end" and that the Messiah would appear sometime during the 20th century.
Well, there's more, but that's enough for now.
Cheers,
