"The 'battle of the great day of God Almighty' (Rev. 16:14), which will end in A.D. 1914 with the complete overthrow of earth's present rulership, is already commenced."

The Time Is At Hand, p. 101, 1908 edition

"Our chronology, however,...points to the autumn of 1975 as the end of 6,000 years of man's existence on earth...And yet the end of that sixth creative "day" could end within the same Gregorian calendar year of Adam's creation. It may involve only a difference of weeks or months, not years."

The Watchtower, August 15, 1968 (p.499)

"True, there have been those in times past who predicted an 'end to the world,' even announcing a specific date. Yet nothing happened. The 'end' did not come. They were guilty of false prophesying...Missing from such people were God's truths and the evidence that he was using and guiding them."
