Hi Elder's Wife,
Maybe you should look at why people are questioning the anointed.
They predicted the following dates as the battle of Armageddon.
1. Zion�s Wt,1/15/1892,pg1355reprint,...�battle� is definitely marked in Scripture as October, 1914.
2. The
Time is at Hand1908,pg43,44,....the �battle of the great day of God Almighty� (Rev.16:14)which will end in A.D. 1915, with the complete overthrow of earth�s present rulership, is already commenced.
3. The Finished Mystery 1917, pg
398,399,485........the people who are the strength of Christendom shall be cut off in the brief but terribly eventful period beginning in1918 A.D. A third part are �burned with fire in the mist of the city.� .....After 1918 the people
supporting churchianity will cease to be its, supporters, be destroyed as adherents,...Also in the year 1918, when God destroys the churches wholesale and the church members by the millions....
4. Vindication 1,
1931,pg146,338,339,....years 1914,1918 and 1925 ..... they also learned to quit fixing dates for the future and predicting what would come to pass on certain dates....
5. Wt,9/15/41,pg288,...in the remaining months before
Armageddon.
6. Wt,5/1/68,pg273, Chart of dates 1975 end of 6th 1000-year day...2975 end of 7th 1000-year day....
7. Aw,1/22/69,pg16, Other Bible prophecies clearly fortell God�s purpose to bring this wicked system
toan end in a few years.
8. Aw,5/22/69,pg15, If you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things. .....all evidence in fullfillment of Bible prophecy
indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years. ....as a young person you will never fullfill any career that this system offers. If you are in high school and thinking about a college education, it means at least four,
perhaps even six or eight more years to graduate into a specialized career. But where will this system of things be by that time?
It will be well on the way toward its finish, if not actually gone!
9.
Wt,10/15/69,pg622,623,....seventh millennium from man�s creation by Jehovah God would begin in less than ten years.
*** Rbi8 Matthew 12:36-37 ***
36 I tell YOU that every unprofitable saying that men speak, they will render an
account concerning it on Judgment Day; 37 for by your words you will be declared righteous, and by your words you will be condemned.�
*** Rbi8 Deuteronomy 18:20-22 ***
20 ��However, the prophet who presumes to speak in my name a word
that I have not commanded him to speak or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die. 21 And in case you should say in your heart: �How shall we know the word that Jehovah has not spoken?� 22 when the prophet speaks in the
name of Jehovah and the word does not occur or come true, that is the word that Jehovah did not speak. With presumptuousness the
prophet spoke it. You must not get frightened at him.�
*** Rbi8 1 John 4:1 ***
4 Beloved ones, do not
believe every inspired expression, but test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with God, because many false prophets have gone forth into theworld.
** Rbi8 Ezekiel 13:8-9 ***
8 ��Therefore this is what the
Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: ��For the reason that YOU men have spoken untruth and YOU have visioned a lie, therefore here I am against YOU,� is the utterance
of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah.� 9 And my hand has come to be against the prophets
that are visioning untruth and that are divining a lie. In the intimate group of my people they will not continue on, and in the register of the house of Israel they will not be written, and to the soil of Israel they will not come; and
YOU people will have to know that I am the Sovereign Lord Jehovah,
*** Rbi8 Matthew 7:15-16 ***
15 �Be on the watch for the false prophets that come to YOU in sheep�s covering, but inside they are ravenous wolves. 16 By their fruits
YOU will recognize them. Never do people gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, do they?
*** Rbi8 2 Peter 2:1 ***
2 However, there also came to be false prophets among the people, as there will also be false
teachers among YOU. These very ones will quietly bring in destructive sects and will disown even the owner that bought them, bringing speedy destruction upon themselves.
*** Rbi8 Ephesians 5:6-10 ***
6 Let no man deceive YOU
with empty words, for because of the aforesaid things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience. 7 Therefore do not become partakers with them; 8 for YOU were once darkness, but YOU are now light in
connection with [the]
Lord. Go on walking as children of light, 9 for the fruitage of the
light consists of every sort of goodness and righteousness and truth. 10 Keep on making sure of what is acceptable to the Lord;
