Question
I just don't understand the references to 1914. I have only been studying a short time, and would like to know more. My limited knowledge is that Satan was cast down to earth in 1914. Please explain more. Thank you.
Answer
This Prophecy was revealed to my Brothers in the late 1800's. The world rejected it then and rejected it today even after the signs that Jesus spoke about occurred.
Jehovah reveals his intentions to his people so they are not caught unawares . Therefore, the time of the gentiles was revealed well in advance.
October 1914 is the date you are referring too. One of the secrets revealed is how to calculate the years. BCE "Before Common Era or Error" the years where calculated by 360 days NOT 365.
How, then, is the time calculated down to 1914? Counting 2,520 years from early October of 607 B.C.E. brings us to early October of 1914 C.E., as shown on the chart.
CALCULATING THE "SEVEN TIMES"
"Seven times" = 7 X 360 = 2,520 years
A Biblical "time," or year = 12 X 30 days = 360. (Rev. 11:2, 3; 12:6, 14)
In the fulfillment of the "seven times" each day equals one year. (Ezek. 4:6; Num. 14:34)
Early October, 607 B.C.E., to December 31, 607 B.C.E. = 1/4 year
January 1, 606 B.C.E., to December 31, 1 B.C.E. = 606 years
January 1, 1 C.E., to December 31, 1913 = 1,913 years
January 1, 1914, to early October, 1914 = 3/4 year
Total: 2,520 years
What happened at that time? Jehovah entrusted rulership over mankind to his own Son, Jesus Christ, glorified in the heavens.-Dan. 7:13, 14.
Then why is there still so much wickedness on earth? After Christ was enthroned, Satan and his demons were hurled out of heaven and down to the earth. (Rev. 12:12) Christ as King did not immediately proceed to destroy all who refused to acknowledge Jehovah's sovereignty and himself as the Messiah. Instead, as he had foretold, a global preaching work was to be done. (Matt. 24:14) As King he would direct a dividing of peoples of all nations, those proving to be righteous being granted the prospect of everlasting life, and the wicked being consigned to everlasting cutting-off in death. (Matt. 25:31-46) In the meantime, the very difficult conditions foretold for "the last days" would prevail. As shown under the heading "Last Days," those events have been clearly in evidence since 1914. Before the last members of the generation that was alive in 1914 will have passed off the scene, all the things foretold will occur, including the "great tribulation" in which the present wicked world will end.-Matt. 24:21, 22, 34.

"But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved. And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come."
Jehovah Witnesses are the ONLY ONES sharing this good news about God's Kingdom. Yet, the world and false Christians alike have rejected Christ as in Ruling in the Heavens today.
