A Prophet Was NOT Among Them! Part 4

As a review, "A Prophet Was NOT Among Them! Part 1" is here, Part 2 is here. and Part 3 is here. The Watchtower of April 1, 1972 (pictured below) contains a question, the answer, and a challenge. 

THE QUESTION . . . Today, does Jehovah have a PROPHET to warn people of dangers and to DECLARE THINGS TO COME? 

THE ANSWER . . . Affirmative! This "prophet" was know as "Int'l Bible Students" but today they are called "Jehovah's Christian Witnesses." 

THE CHALLENGE . . . The articles says it is easy to say you are a "prophet" of God but another thing to prove it. The only way to prove you are a "prophet" is to review the record. WHAT DOES IT SHOW?

The definitive work on this subject can be found here.

Prophecy of 1975--Armageddon Promised!

"Just think, brothers, there are only about ninety months left before 6,000 years of man’s existence on earth is completed... The majority of people living today will probably be alive when Armageddon breaks out, and there are no resurrection hopes for those who are destroyed then. So, now more than ever, it is vital not to ignore that spirit of wanting to do more." (Kingdom Ministry, March 1968, p. 4) See below.

Let's do the math. March, 1968 + 90 months = October, 1975.

"Today we have the evidence required, all of it. And it is overwhelming! All the many, many parts of the great sign of the last days are here, together with verifying Bible chronology." (Awake!, Oct. 8, 1968, p. 23) See below. 

So Prophet of God, if you had ALL OF IT, what happened to Armageddon? Surely we would have heard about it by now.

"According to this trustworthy Bible chronology six thousand years from man's creation will end in 1975, and the seventh period of a thousand years of human history will begin in the fall of 1975 C.E. So six thousand years of man's existence on earth will soon be up, yes, within this generation." Life Everlasting in Freedom of the Sons of God, 1966 page 29. See below.

The Bible is trustworthy. But who is not trustworthy is the one interpreting the Bible. John 8:44, "You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies."

I just did a GOOGLE search and I didn't find any evidence that the Battle of Armageddon had occurred. I think that the WT can help us determine if this is another False Prophecy. “Jehovah, the God of the true prophets, will put ALL false prophets to shame either by not fulfilling the false prediction of such self-assuming prophets or by having His own prophecies fulfilled in a way opposite to that predicted by the false prophets. FALSE PROPHETS WILL TRY TO HIDE THEIR REASON FOR FEELING SHAME BY DENYING WHO THEY REALLY ARE." Paradise Restored to Mankind By Theocracy, 1972, Pages 353 and 354.

In Part 5, I will take a look at the efforts of the WT to deny who they "REALLY ARE," False Prophets.

A Prophet Was NOT Part 5 is here.

At this point WHAT DOES THE RECORD SHOW?
