I would love to hear your comments and experiences on the GREAT FALSE PROPHECY OF 1925!
Deuteronomy 18:20: But the prophet, who shall presume to speak a Word in My Name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
Deuteronomy 18:21: And if you say in your heart, How shall we know the Word which Jehovah has not spoken?
Deuteronomy 18:22: When a prophet speaks in the Name of Jehovah, if the thing does not follow, nor come to pass, that is the thing which Jehovah has not spoken, but the prophet has spoken it presumptuously: you shall not be afraid of him.
Deuteronomy 13:1: If there arises among YOU a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and gives you a sign or a wonder,
Deuteronomy 13:2: And the sign or the wonder comes to pass, which he spoke to you, saying, Let us go after other gods, which you have not known, and let us serve them;
Deuteronomy 13:3: You shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for Jehovah your God is testing you, to know whether you love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
Deuteronomy 13:4: You shall walk after Jehovah your God, and fear Him, and keep His Commandments, and obey His voice, and you shall serve Him, and cling to Him.
Deuteronomy 13:5: And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he has spoken to turn you away from Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust you out of the way which Jehovah your God commanded you to walk in. So shall you put the evil away from the midst of you.

1st Thessalonians 5:2: For you yourselves know well that the Day of the Lord Comes like a thief in the night.

"Some one asked me the other day: Suppose you should be here in 1925 what would you do? I said, I believe I will be home in the Pleiades before then;" (MY COMMENT: Back then, the Witnesses believed that Jehovah lived in the Pleiades Star System (Heaven), I believe!)

"That period of time, beginning in 1575 before A.D. 1, of necessity would end in the fall of the year 1925, at which time the type ends and the great antitype must begin. What, then, should we expect to take place? In the type there must be a full restoration; therefore the great antitype must mark the beginning of restoration of all things...there will be a resurrection of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob...we may expect 1925 to witness the return of these faithful men of Israel from the conditions of death,...Then Jerusalem will become the captial of the world,...Because that time is at hand we can confidentlly say: Millions now living will never die."

"There exist, however, well established relationships among the dates of present-truth chronology. These internal connections of the dates impart a much greater strength than can be found in other chronologies. Some of them are of so remarkable a character as clearly to indicate that this chronology is not of man, but of God. Being of divine origin and divinely corroborated, present-truth chronology stands in a class by itself, absolutely and unqualifiedly correct."

Our thought is, that 1925 is definitely settled by the Scriptures. As to Noah, the Christian now has much more upon which to base his faith than Noah had upon which to base his faith in a coming deluge.

The year 1925 is here. With great expectation Christians have looked forward to this year. Many have confidently expected that all members of the body of Christ will be changed to heavenly glory during this year. This may be accomplished. It may not be. In his own due time God will accomplish his purposes concerning his people. Christians should not be so deeply concerned about what may transpire this year.

"It is to be expected that Satan will try to inject into the minds of the consecrated the thought that 1925 should see an end of the work, and that therefore it would be needless for them to do more."

"Some anticipated that the work would end in 1925, but the Lord did not so state."

"There was a measure of disappointment on the part of Jehovah's faithful ones on earth concerning the years 1914, 1918, and 1925, which disappointment lasted for a time. Later the faithful learned that those dates were definitely fixed in the Scriptures, and they also learned to quit fixing dates for the future and predicting what would come to pass on a certain date."
(MY COMMENT: Did the Watchtower Society LEARN to "quit fixing dates for the future and predicting what would come to pass on a certain date"? You would think they would have, after predicting Armageddon in 1874, 1914, 1918, 1925, and World War II, HOWEVER, they DEFINITELY DID NOT LEARN!

*** Awake! June 22nd 1995 Issue, Page 9, Can You Trust God's Promises? ***
Bible Students, known since 1931 as Jehovah's Witnesses, also expected that the year 1925 would see the fulfillment of marvelous Bible prophecies. They surmised that at that time the earthly resurrection would begin, bringing back faithful men of old, such as Abraham, David, and Daniel. More recently, many Witnesses conjectured that events associated with the beginning of Christ's Millennial Reign might start to take place in 1975. Their anticipation was based on the understanding that the seventh millennium of human history would begin then.
These erroneous views did not mean that God's promises were wrong, that he had made a mistake. By no means! The mistakes or misconceptions, as in the case of first-century Christians, were due to a failure to heed Jesus' caution, 'You do not know the time.' The wrong conclusions were due, not to malice or to unfaithfulness to Christ, but to a fervent desire to realize the fulfillment of God's promises in their own time.
