Is there any place in Scripture that predicted Armageddon would take place in 1975 as predicted by JWs?

Question

With all do respect, but why are JWs copying and pasting answers from the Watchtower?

Answer 1

Jehovah's Witnesses never predicted that Armageddon would arrive in 1975.

Anti-Witnesses recycle this particular "controversy" from time to time, pretending that Jehovah's Witnesses taught Armageddon would come in 1975. Is that the way Jehovah's Witnesses themselves understood the matter?

In 1975, there was a peak of 2,179,256 active Witnesses preaching from house to house. Did they quit in 1976? No.

By 2005, there were 6,613,829 actively preaching Jehovah's Witnesses, more than THREE TIMES as many!

Even in the United States, Jehovah's Witnesses have almost doubled their numbers since 1975. The articles of Jehovah's Witnesses which mentioned 1975 did so because it seemed to represent 6000 years since mankind's creation; no connection was made between that year and Armageddon.

Jehovah's Witnesses have long taught that not even Jesus knew the day and hour of Armageddon.

(Matthew 24:3-36) .The disciples approached [Jesus] privately, saying: “Tell us, When will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?” 4 And in answer Jesus said to them: “Look out... 10 Then, also, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. ...13 But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved. 14 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. ...36 “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.


It is sad when the enemies of truth work to spread misinformation regarding this peaceful Christian religion.

Answer 2

If this was a consideration by any one, are they a false prophet because they have miscalculated the time frame.
What is the time frame for any of the religions of the world? No time frame makes them a true prophet?
Why is the time frame taboo? Does taboo make a religion the true prophet?
Are these critics of any one who believes in or tries to establish a time frame?
Why was the time frame for a pope 4004? Why do some people say the bible is void of a time frame? These people and the one you speak of, had their place in the world, how many people believe 4004? I can not find it, who can?
Does the bible say Abraham goes to heaven or will he live on earth? Can some people point out more in a short time than others do in a life time, how can heaven or hell proclaimers be the true prophet, my bible tells me the gospel of the kingdom will be preached?
If the bible gives Satan 6130 years, does that mean Armageddon is then [ no day and hour ], and then Jesus Rev.20:1-6,12,13; no Satan 1000 years?

DANIEL'S TIME OF THE END PROPHECY Dan.12:1-13;

Daniel year 3460 [ Babylon Empire #3, 606 B. C., Rome world Empire #6 ]:
Daniel gives;
2300, 2500, 2520, 2580, 2670 [ now 2613 from Empire #3 ], less 606 B. C.
1694, 1894, 1914, 1974, 2064 [ now 2007 from Empire #6 ]. Plus 606 B. C.

2300 [ 1150, 1250, 1260, 1290, 1335, twice Dan.25:7 ]; bible in circulation.
2500 bible & Michael Dan.12:1-12; Jude 9; protects WORD, 2Cor.4:3,4; 11:14
2520 Rev.12:3,4,6-11,12; Satan's short time in the time of the end at WW1.
2580 60 years of Satan's short time, Michael 7 WORD 363 years, Vietnam.
2613 93 years of Satan's short time. Michael & WORD. Rm.16:20; Mk 13:27;
------- Satan down, heavenly raised up John 6:39,40,44; 1Thes.4:15-17; end.
____ 6130 and Rev.20:1-6,12,13; no Satan 1000 years SAVED at 7130 years

How is it most people do not say the end of this world bring the world with Jesus thats without end? Eph.2:7; 3:21; It is so difficult to understand.

Answer 3

JW's did not predict Armageddon to come in 1975.

There are many quotes to the contrary of your false statement.

I for one rarely copy and paste from the Watchtower.

With regard to 1975: ‘What about the year 1975? What is it going to mean, dear friends?’ asked Brother Franz. ‘Does it mean that Armageddon is going to be finished, with Satan bound, by 1975? It could! It could! All things are possible with God. Does it mean that Babylon the Great is going to go down by 1975? It could. Does it mean that the attack of Gog of Magog is going to be made on Jehovah’s witnesses to wipe them out, then Gog himself will be put out of action? It could. But we are not saying. All things are possible with God. But we are not saying. And don’t any of you be specific in saying anything that is going to happen between now and 1975.[

There are so many other sources that agree with Jehovah's Witnesses.

I guess why some do copy and paste is because many 'born again' Christians mainly parrot the false teachings they have been taught by their pastors.

Example: post any question you want about a bible scripture and you will get as many different answers as there are responders.

All from 'born again' Christians quoting scripture.


Example: If Christ alone has immortality, then why do many Christians talk about an immortal soul?

Answer 4

First, No, especially since we Witnesses never said that.

Secondly, if someone asks a question about something written somewhere, doesn't it make sense for others to respond directly from said source??

Third, why do people on here ask questions based on the random accusations they found pasted somewhere else??

Answer 5

I was one back then and I remember the JW's telling the follower that this was not true. The fact remains that many JW's did believe this.I am not sure why.
It did have one good effect it cleaned out a lot of non genuine brothers and sisters who did not love god but joined just in case.

Answer 6

Can you explain me what will happen with the earth after Armageddon during the 1000 years kingdom of Jesus Christ?

If is the way that Jehovah´s witnesses explain me or if is false can you prove it with the bible?

they explain me that Jesus will transform this planet in a paradise full of humans sinless and with eternal life and in peace with animals.

If that is false can you prove me that with the bible?

Answer 7

No The rapture would have had to taken place in 1968 and I would have missed it..
We would now be in the millennium reign of Christ and I think that has not happened

Answer 8

The do not recognize that their own organization is, in fact, a FALSE PROPHET... (or should that be PROFIT?) as defined by scripture.

Answer 9

not a chance

Answer 10

no
