is 1914 the beginning of the end according to revelations?

Question

if yes why

Answer 1

What's your Scriptural basis for this?

Answer 2

Revelation 1:7, "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and EVERY eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen."

Does it say anything here that EVERY eye that sees him are only those with spiritual discernment? How can those who pierced him have spiritual eyes to see him?

Remember Jesus' warning:

Mark 13:21-22, "And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect."


1914 was the date that the founder of Jehovah's Witnesses, Russell, came up with
by measuring the pyramids.

Even today his memorial tomb has a pyramid upon it. There was not an invisible return of Jesus upon the earth in 1914.

Answer 3

Bible , Matt 24:35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.  
Matt 24:36
But of that day and hour no man knows, no, not the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but my Father only.

Quran Sura 41. Ha-Mim
47
He Alone has the knowledge of the Hour of Doom. No fruit comes out of its sheath, nor does a female conceive, nor she gives birth but with His knowledge. On the Day of Judgement when Allah will ask the unbelievers: "Where are those partners that you associated with Me?" They will answer: "We confess that none of us can vouch for them."

When the prophets did not know and they told that only GOD knows when the judgemnet is going to come, We should not discuss about when the day will come but prepare for that day.

Answer 4

The stuff written in Revelations has happend many times over the course of history- no one knows when the end will happen

Answer 5

No. End times and signs have been among us since Jesus raised up. No one knows the timing for His return. He asks us not to try to guess it and He especially warns us about the false prophets who will try to guess the time. God asks us to be ready.

Answer 6

Yes . If Jesus coming will be visible with the physical eye
then maybe he will come with a white horse, that is figurative meanig that he will come to fight a war.

And this is why, the book of Revelation was written in the year 96 C.E about thing that will happen in the future, so everything happened after year 96 C.E , 63 years after Jesus death.

now when that happenned in the second century, or in the third , or fifth century or in the fifteen century?

No that began in the early of 20th century , if you compare what Jesus said in Matthew 24:3-14 you will see that kind of things began to happen after 1914 the year that finished the Gentiles´time according to the book of Daniel and the prophecy of the great tree in chapter 4.

Of course many Christians don´t understand that and believe it , the same christians even know the date of Jesus ´s death something that was given in the bible and they say that is not in the bible , just because you don´t know something means that the information is incorrect.

Christianity say that we are in the end times but if you ask them when that time began they won´t recognize the year but they saying what the Jehovah´s witnesses said several years ago but of course they won´t recognize it.

from 607 B.C.E until 1914 C.E are 2520 years or seven times of uninterrupted absence of a King set by God to rule in 1914 Jesus began to rule among his enemies as the bible says in Psalm 110:1.

If Jesus didn´t began to rule in that Year among his enemies when that happened cause that happened after Year 96 when the book Revelation told that will happen in the future or after that Year, so if you can´t prove me what year was how can you be so sure that is not in 1914, and why everything began to get worse in this world since that year?

can you or any other people give us a better explanation?

By the way have you notice How all JWs use intesivily the bible to prove their point of view but the rest of the people say " NO IT IS NOT" but don´t give you any logical reasoning? notice the answer of SHANE i don´t know him but he used the bible several times more than me and hundreds times more than the rest of the people, if we are talking about the bible , let use the bible to prove not our opinion.

Answer 7

People who use scripture to count days and years to glean knowledge which Christ says "no one but the Father in heaven knows" always make me laugh.

The imagery of that part of scripture is so vague, it can only be understood in hindsight. God does not reveal the future to man in clear concise detail for to do so would be to tell us we have no choice. What He shows us in revelations is that He is there and His plan is a winning plan, it will be a rough ride but hang on it will be worth it. If you try to extract divination from it, you will place false hope on your own understanding. Forget trying to use the bible as a scrying tool and use it as a source of strength. It is a book of Faith, not knowledge.
