AboutDerrick Holland Expertise I was raised in the religion known as Jehovah`s Witnesses for 13 years. Since becoming a born-again Christian, I have researched extensively this religion, especially their doctrines and their history. I can answer questions about their doctrines from the perspective of Biblical Christianity.
Experience 23 years of Biblical research into the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith, and how they differ from the teachings of the Watchtower.
Question Was the bride made up under the Kingship of Nebuchadnezzar in 1914? If so, what scriptures bare witness to this?
Answer Hello Carla. I hope you are well.
I am truly sorry, but I honestly don't understand the question. Nebuchadnezzar was not king in 1914. Now, the JWs DO get the 1914 date by misapplying the "7 times" of Nebuchadnezzar in their chronology. They take the 7 "times" which were seven years of 360 days each, which gives us 2,520 days. They then change these days into 2,520 years, and calculate this from the year 607 B.C., which they believe is when Jerusalem fell, leaving them at 1914.
But their belief about the 144,000 is that this number basically was filled in the mid-1930s, with a few since then replacing those who fell away or proved unfaithful.
You ask...."If so, what scriptures bare witness to this?"
