This is one prophecy spoken of, that in my opinion, and extensive research has proved to me that it was right on. Having befriended many Older people that lived though 1914- my Grandparents being among them, they said that the world was never the same. They are dead now, but their first hand experience of the changes the world went through, and since they had been looking to 1914 from some 30 years prior,as a pivotal year in Bible prophesy and expecting major changes, that did come true, was exciting for them, and faith strengthening to me.

I know Aussie, you will give a sharp response, but this is one MAJOR prophecy where the math was right.

Here is a cut and paste:

*** re chap. 18 p. 105 Earthquakes in the Lord’s Day ***
“It was in B.C. 606, that God’s kingdom ended, the diadem was removed, and all the earth given up to the Gentiles. 2520 years from B.C. 606, will end in A.D. 1914.”—The Three Worlds, published in 1877, page 83.
“The Bible evidence is clear and strong that the ‘Times of the Gentiles’ is a period of 2520 years, from the year B.C. 606 to and including A.D. 1914.”—Studies in the Scriptures, Volume 2, written by C. T. Russell and published in 1889, page 79.
Charles Taze Russell and his fellow Bible students realized decades earlier that 1914 would mark the end of the Gentile Times, or the appointed times of the nations. (Luke 21:24) While they did not in those early days fully understand what this would mean, they were convinced that 1914 was going to be a pivotal date in world history, and they were right. Notice the following newspaper quotation:
“The terrific war outbreak in Europe has fulfilled an extraordinary prophecy. For a quarter of a century past, through preachers and through press, the ‘International Bible Students,’ best known as ‘Millennial Dawners,’ have been proclaiming to the world that the Day of Wrath prophesied in the Bible would dawn in 1914. ‘Look out for 1914!’ has been the cry of the hundreds of traveling evangelists.”—The World, a New York newspaper, August 30, 1914.
