Bible Note: Like you said, only Jehovah's Witnesses believe Jesus' return was in 1914. There are some religious groups who have an afinity for 1914, but have different understandings. Not only Jehovah's Witnesses recognized 1914 as the end of "the times of the Gentiles" as mentioned in Luke 21:24, KJV. There were a number of clergymen in the 19th century who did so, and others. As you may know, we have taught this since 1876. Many people believe we're living in the "last days." (2 Timothy 3:1-5) World events clearly show this. It all depends on whether we're willing to consider a different viewpoint. So, I believe Jesus' invisible return was in 1914 because it has "Scriptural support." I agree with their explanation, too. Further, Jehovah's Witnesses didn't have the New World Translation before 1950. You have to admire their worldwide peace and unity, though, don't you? Will you answer my question regarding Acts 15:28, 29? Stokey. |
