shall we see what some say about the 1914 date .

1914 the Year That Shocked the World

"The Great War of 1914-18 lies like a band of scorched earth dividing that time from ours. In wiping out so many lives . . . , in destroying beliefs, changing ideas, and leaving incurable wounds of disillusion, it created a physical as well as psychological gulf between two epochs."—From The Proud Tower—A Portrait of the World Before the War 1890–1914, by Barbara Tuchman.

THE first world war was by far the widest and most destructive human conflict up to that time. The second world war—really just a continuation of the first—was far worse. In these two wars, more than 25 million military men, besides civilians, were slaughtered.

it certainly is , and it is working on those with insight and because of that true knowledge is now abundant

"And as for you, O Daniel, make secret the words and seal up the book, until the time of [the] end. Many will rove about, and the [true] knowledge will become abundant."DANIEL 12;4


And as regards those having insight among the people, they will impart understanding to the many. And they will certainly be made to stumble by sword and by flame, by captivity and by plundering, for [some] days. Daniel 11;33


And he went on to say: "Go, Daniel, because the words are made secret and sealed up until the time of [the] end. 10 Many will cleanse themselves and whiten themselves and will be refined. And the wicked ones will certainly act wickedly, and no wicked ones at all will understand; but the ones having insight will understand.DANIEL 12;9-10


And the ones having insight will shine like the brightness of the expanse; and those who are bringing the many to righteousness, like the stars to time indefinite, even forever.DANIEL 12;3



ITS ALL HAPPENING FOR THOSE WITH INSIGHT
understanding is now abundant and they know just where we are in the stream of time . but those with insight do not keep it to themselves it is abundantly made known .

OK — Here's another one by the same author:
In A Distant Mirror, historian Barbara Tuchman reveals in harrowing detail a "tortured century" with parallels to our own. People in the fourteenth century were subjected to natural and man-made disasters, including the Hundred Years' War, the Crusades, insurrection, lawlessness, the Schism of the Church, massacres of Jewish people, and the Black Death, which claimed the lives of nearly half the population living between India and Iceland.

By her own account, that outstrips WWI — and renders the 14th century as a better example (even than my own 1618) as prophesied.

Again, an emotive statement that needs qualification.

The second world war—really just a continuation of the first—was far worse. In these two wars, more than 25 million military men, besides civilians, were slaughtered.

So even by your own account, the WWII was far worse than WWI, in which case 1939 should be the set date.

Nor is claiming WWII as a continuation of WWI historically accurate. Although there was a perceived ill-treatment of Germany via the Treaty of Versailles (1919) which was a cause of much discontent, that had been sorted by the late 30s, by which time Hitler had occupied Alsace-Lorraine, annexed Austria and occupied the Sudetenland.

The reason why he got away with it was because many saw these actions as redressing prior unfair actions ... but no-one said, "OK, but that's your lot." So he assumed he could carry on, and set his eyes eastward, with Poland being the first step.

I am not criticising Tuchman, but there is a difference between popular and scholarly history, and the big one is popular history books tend to make lurid generalisations that scholarly historians would not make, and nor would Tuchman if she was addressing an audience of her peers.

So you've triple-confounded yourself now ... there are three dates that are better fits to prophecy than 1914 — 1337 (outbreak of the Hundred Years' War), 1618 or 1939 ... all you've got to do is revisit your figures, nothing new for the Jehovah's Witnesses, and I'm sure you'll be able to make em fit one of the above.

remember 1914 is the START of the last days and that date is inline with bible prophecy and chronology . and its all happening since that date . many things point to that date . along with bible prophecy and chronology.

When the Gentile Times ended, Jehovah was to give the power to rule to the One "who has the legal right," Jesus Christ. Therefore, 1914 would mark the time when Christ began to rule as King in God’s heavenly Kingdom, and since his rulership extends down to this day, it touches you and me .

1914 historic Shakeup"

An editorial in the German newspaper Die Welt commented on the historical importance of the date August 1, 1944. In response, a reader complained to the paper that the editorial ignored a more significant date—August 1, 1914. On that date a "historic shakeup of world proportions began, not only affecting Germany but changing Europe and the whole world," according to the reader. "The war brought us tremendous losses and ended with the ‘treaty’ of Versailles, which was the bud from which the second world war later sprouted. The development of Soviet Russia, superpower U.S.A., the dethronement of Europe, the awakening of the Third World, all these things were initiated by the first world war. There are few dates of greater importance than that fatal August 1, 1914!"

You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Twilight Zone!

I'll have some spiritual alcohol and get spiritually drunk.

I'll turn on the spiritual computer and play some spiritual computer games.

Then I'll turn on the spiritual television set and watch some spiritual movies.

I'll go spiritually mad, insane and have spiritual orgies.

I will go to my spiritual bed, sleep spiritually and then have a spiritual awakening.

In the spiritual dawn, morning of the next day, I will have a spiritual breakfast where I eat spiritual eggs and bacon. I will be ready spiritually for the challenges in the day ahead.

OK. A date of greater importance is 1815. If Wellington had not beaten Napoleon, then Europe would be a Republic, and WWI would never have happened.

So 1414 depends on 1815 ...
and 1815 depends on ...
and your knee-bone is joined ... altogether now!

I go with Scripture:
1 John 2:18
"Little children, it is the last hour: and as you have heard that Antichrist cometh, even now there are become many Antichrists: whereby we know that it is the last hour."

We have been in the end times for 2,000 years, every hour is the last hour...

no it doesnt bother me at all

"Wine is a ridiculer, intoxicating liquor is boisterous, and everyone going astray by it is not wise."—PROVERBS 20:1.


going astray with intoxicating liquor is not wise .


so it goes with rubbish food , but the difference with food is, it takes longer to show up sometimes .
and before a person is aware it has efected his whole mind and thinking. and he thinks he is on the right path but he is way along the wrong one. and it can be a long journey to find that right path and put himself in the right direction . because the opposers(of the right way) put allsorts of things in the way to try to confuse him . and lead him away from the right path . so its best to stay with what the bible teaches,



Go, eat your food with rejoicing and drink your wine with a good heart, because already the [true] God has found pleasure in your works ECCLESIASTES 9;7

VERY TRUE , and way back in the early christian congregations, it started to appear , and it appeared even among themselves . those in opposition have been around for centuries. yes their are MANY antichrists .

Jesus warned his followers that the world in general would hate them. He said: "People will deliver you up to tribulation and will kill you, and you will be objects of hatred by all the nations on account of my name. And many false prophets will arise and mislead many."—Matthew 24:9, 11.



Because Jesus’ disciples are persecuted "on account of [Jesus’] name," the persecutors are clearly antichrist, against Christ.

The "false prophets," some of whom were once Christians, are also in that category. (2 John 7)

These "many antichrists," wrote John, "went out from us, but they were not of our sort; for if they had been of our sort, they would have remained with us."—1 John 2:18, 19.


The words of both Jesus and John plainly indicate that the antichrist is not a single person but is made up of many individual antichrists. Moreover, because they are false prophets, one of their main objectives is religious deception.
