Just for the record and the people here, 1914 is based on the concept that the 2nd coming would occur 2520 years from the fall of Jerusalem, which the WTS dates erroneously date to 607 BCE. The true date for the fall of Jerusalem per critical secular reference and the Bible was 529 BCE which means the 2nd coming per the Bible should have happened in 1992 rather than 1914. The critical connection between 1992 and 1914 is that the "last generation" of 80 years was to begin with a world war (i.e. nation vs. nation and kingdom vs. kingdom). What the Bible prophesied that would happen before that generation ended in 1994 is the 2nd coming. So while the WTS does not understand this, the 2nd coming just based on the true date of Jerusalem's fall did fulfill that prophecy. 1992, of course, occurs before the end of that generation in 1994.
In the meantime, part of the misunderstanding of the signs of the last days is misunderstood. That misunderstanding has to do with the "great tribulation" which is often thought to be a reference to Armageddon. But that great tribulation is completely over before the 2nd coming: "Matthew 24:29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days... the sign of the son of man will appear in heaven." Thus the "great tribulation" reference in Matthew is actually a reference to the HOLOCAUST.
Now posters here are allegedly smarter than the sheeple serving the WTS. So think about it. The great tribulation mentioned in Matthew says that women with small children would have it a lot worse than women without children. How is that? It speaks of fleeing to the mountains when the "disgusting thing in a holy place" is seen. How could fleeding to the mountains save you from Armageddon if you're not supposed to? It makes no sense. Also the Bible says the days would be cut short for the sake of the holy ones. Well, does that mean God would get so carried away at Armageddon that he would accidentally wipe out all of the holy ones? Plus this clearly suggests that the majority of the "holy ones" would actually die during this "great tribulation." Well, when the "holy ones" are actually a reference to the natural Jews, then it explains it. The "disgusting thing in a holy place" was actually the Nazi army surrounding Warsaw, Poland, the city with the highest concentration of Jews in exile. But that also explains about how women without children would be better off. If you had no children, you could literally leave the city and flee to the mountains and survive as many did. But if you have small children, there is no way you could do that. You can't have noisy, hundry kids hiding out from the Nazis in the forrests.
So that is the critical point here. While people here are laughing at the WTS for their focus on 1914, it spills over to what the true fulfillment really is. Whether or not the Bible is true or not. Whem you have the correct date for the fall of Jerusalem, which was 529 BCE dating the 2nd coming in 1992, and when you understand 1914 simply begins a generation of 80 years that would see the 2nd coming before its end in 1994, then all is well. Thoses who have the correct understanding do not link Armageddon as part of the events of the last generation. It should not be.
So 2014, 100 years after 1914, might be a problem for false prophets and false understanding, but not for those of the elect who have the truth. 1914, indeed, is a good date for beginning the last generation which begins with a world war. It is NOT a good date for the 2nd coming since Jerusalem fell in 529 BCE and not 607 BCE. It is also NOT a good date for the "end of the gentile times" which ended on November 30, 1947 when the Jews officially came out of exile and had their own country again.
So everything the Bible prophesied was fulfilled within that generation, including the "great tribulation" which was the HOLOCAUST. Just because the WTS has it wrong, doesn't mean the Bible is not true. Everything in the Bible is happening on time.
The only other chronology clue we have in relation to when Armageddon will occur is that the UN will take over world government and the nations giving up their sovereignty to the UN will be allowed to rule for "a time and a season" which is a year and 3 months basically; not that those days would be cut short. However close you think about the UN being to taking over world government is how close you should expect Armageddon.
