The Return of Jesus Christ

[The Librarian]

Part of a series on:

 

 

 

 

Jehovah's Witnesses historical understanding of his return:

• In 1930 Christ's return and "presence" was switched from 1874 to 1914.
• In The Golden Age magazine (1930 p.503) Joseph Rutherford, the second president of the WTS, wrote "Jesus has been present since 1914" but he gave no supporting explanation.
• In 1932: The prophecy of the Bible, fully supported by the physical facts in fulfilment thereof, shows that the second coming of Christ dates from the fall of the year 1914. (What is Truth? 1932)

"Switched" equals new light? If something is true, then it should stay true.

There is usually no scriptural support for a lot of things given by the WTS.

There are no physical facts that fulfill the second coming, at least not yet. 

 

Interesting that the WT kept changing this but no one saw it. I mean this should be a major red flag to those who truly want to stick to the Bible. Didn't Jesus tell us that false Christs and false prophets  would come and that they would say that Jesus would be out in the desert/wilderness or in the inner rooms? Does this not parallel the invisible proclamation of the WTS? If they said "He was in the wilderness" you could not see that from where they told you, like wise if "He is in the inner rooms", well again cannot be seen from where you were told.
