Have you ever found yourself in deep study and you read a point that causes you to stop, your brain tingles and you go into a deep period of thinking? As I find more information from other publications and read more I'll add to this post.
So, from other post it was brought out what Russell and IBSA understood about 1914. But when did the Bible Students get it right? When did they figure out that Jesus was enthroned as King of God's Kingdom? They put it together in 1922. I'll get into that in a later update for this post, but for now I wanted to post this about 1922 and that understanding. "Divine Purpose" book page 108. "In 1918, after Satan recovered from his dazed condition, he set about to persecute the members of the Church on earth. In 1918 he caused the imprisonment of the officers of the SOCIETY and others. On March 26th, 1919, these were released from prison; and the Church (representing the woman) there fled into the wilderness for 1260 literal days. From March 27th, 1919, to September 8th, 1922, inclusive was exactly 1260 days, at the end of which period the remnant of the Church on earth makes a bold proclamation of its allegiance to the King and his kingdom and announces its determination to begin and press the fight against Satan's empire until it is excluded from the earth." Does your brain tingle? Over the years this has not change, more understanding has been added to it, but this remains. The word church as used here applies to the Watchtower Orgnazitaion. They still used the word church as applied to themselves. But did you see it? The 7 Brothers are released from prison on March 26th, 1919, on March 27, 1919 they hunker down, they continue preaching and printing, but Brother Rutherford and the Governing Body hit the books, they are carried away to a Spiritual safe place to figure a few things out. What do they figure out? On September 8th, 1922, it starts to come together. First that every person claiming to serve Jehovah MUST preach, preach what? The King and the Kingdom. Although the Governing Body spoon fed the Brothers from September 8th, 1922 forward for a few years, they point was made, Jesus was made King of God's Kingdom in 1914 and that year Jesus begun to rule and He started the war with Satan oust him from heaven. That time period lasted 1,260 days. That is astonishing to realize that at the start of that period in March 1919, those Brothers had no way to know what understanding Jehovah would give them in September 1922. Granted additional facts of history has been added to this time period, but this point remains unchanged. I will be adding more to this post later, there is a lot to add.
