"Battle of Armaggedon" on page 619 forward talks about the "Ancient worthies". After Russell and his mates are gone (apparently in the 1910 rapture), Armaggedon will follow (by 1914) then the world will be rebuilt under the Ancient worthies". These will be able to communicate DIRECTLY with the 144000 and act as conduits to Gods spirit. Thus (in my interpretation)the worthies will rule mankind as kings. Curious.So maybe there was going to be a paradise earth after all, just without the Dubs there.So thats where Rutherford got THAT idea from.page 33 of "The time is at hand" (volume 2 of Studies) states:...."In this chapter we present the Bible evidence which indicates
that 6000 years from the creation of Adam were completed with AD 1872, and hence that,since 1872AD, we are chronologically entered upon the 7th thousand or the Millenium"...So go figure. Its all a bit flexible isnt it.
