Although I have not read Russell's sermon at the Hippodrome, I read the ZWT report on it in the Oct. 15, 1910 issue. Again, he doesn't refer to 1878 or 1917, but to 1914. So, if 1878 and 1917 are scriptural dates (but not promulgated by Russell), how is 1914 (which was promulgated by him) scriptural?
The year 1914 saw the beginning of World War I, which embroiled all the great nations of the world in the conflict and witnessed the collapse of an old world order. While greatly weakening most of the participants, it set the stage for the re-establishment of Israel as a nation, through developments that produced the Balfour Declaration.BTW ... 1878 was promulgated by Russell, do a search.| Member | Post |
