Jehovah's Witness core foundations has deep roots in their belief of Armageddon. The term 'Armageddon' literally means "the end of the world".
Founded by Charles T. Russel, the Jehovah Witnesses core Christian roots is intrinsically tied to the fulfilment of Armageddon, and therefore it is usually uncommon to see members participating in world politics or government affairs.

Using their popular publication platform called "Watch Tower", the group to predict the end of the world on five (5) occasions since they were formed. This is a Timeline of the predictions and the current state of things -

1) 1878

This date is noted as the first time the Jehovah Witnesses made a Prediction about the end of the world through Armageddon.

Known as the Prediction about a possible end of the Lord's harvest, the JW predicted that God's harvest of his people will happen in 1878, and that God's people will be transformed to spirit beings afterwards.

The prediction failed. However, it was shifted to the next year by a new explanation and revised prediction by the Founder.

2)1881

One would think that the failure of the first prediction will lead to a mass desertion of the group, but that wasn't the case. This is because in 1881, the Watch Tower made another prediction again credited to Charles T Russel -

"We know not the day or hour, but expect it during 1881, possibly near the autumn where the parallels show the favor to Zion complete and due to end, the door to the marriage to shut, and the high calling to be the bride of Christ, to cease."

Outcome: Failed!

3) 1914

Using his 'Studies in the Scriptures' series, Charles T Russel identified October 1914 as the year of final reckoning, citing that God's kingdom will come and Jesus Christ will start his Biblical reign on earth for millennials to come.

He said that it is "an established truth that the final end of the kingdoms of this world, and the full establishment of the Kingdom of God, will be accomplished at the end of A.D. 1914".

In this particular prediction, especially after his later reassurances of fellow Witnesses that the dates are God's dates and set, some members were noted to have sold their properties and belongings in anticipation of the D-DAY.

Prediction Status: Failed!

4) 1918

After the failure of his 1914 prediction, Charles T. Russel gave more explanations as to why the Armageddon may not have happened at the expected date. According to him -

"Studying God's Word, we have measured the 2520 years, the Seven symbolic Times, from that year 606 B.C. and have found that it reached down to October, 1914, as nearly as we were able to reckon. We did not say positively that this would be the year. We merely left every one to look at the facts of history and reckon for himself."

However, this didn't stop the Jehovah Witnesses from making further predictions about Armageddon through their Watch Tower publication platform. In one of their publications, they acknowledged that they had no reason to doubt that the end of the world did not occur in 1914.

According to them, 1914 was the year God displaced the rulers of the earth and the time of Gentiles ended. The beginning of the World Wars were cited as physical reference to that.

In one of their publications titled "The Finished Mystery", the group again made a bold claim about the end of days, also supported by the JW president, Rutherford, who took over after the death of Charles T. Russel.

Prediction Outcome: Failed!

5) 1925

Rutherford will go on to make another prediction, claiming that God's faithful's who have died in the past will be resurrected to enjoy everlasting life.
Like the other previous predictions, this one also 'Failed'.

This is hilarious

...only my father in heaven does.

PeaceJoyLove:



This is hilarious

Na so na

I ain't really laughing...

But on a serious note, I understand that they are kind of obsessed with the whole 'Armageddon' thing- all millenarian movements are.

But that 1914 prediction for 'enter' small...

I mean, it would have been very believable considering the fact that that year was a troubling and troublesome one with the start of the 'Great War' and all that stuff. A lot of folks must have sold all their belongings and 'repented' and even confessed all their untellable iniquities.

Wow! The thrill.

Op I'm sure you predicted all this..I was born in that organization and we were always told that even Jesus does not knw that date of Armageddon. Of course when his disciplines asked him when the son of man will come he told them that only the father knows,but he only give signs that when we start seeing this signs,we should knw that the time is not far away..So I don't understand where you got this from

Any JW who doubts anybody what the OP has written should do their research.

Get old publications and see for yourself.

I never said it did. My motive is for you to do objective research. Prove the truth to yourself. If you have nothing to fear, if you have no doubt, you should not fear research.

What makes you believe those things on jwfacts are true?

It shows how gullible people can be...You make a prediction like you are sure about it. I no go fit believe anything you tell me again. Some idiots even sold properties. Abeg dem wan carry the money go heaven?

So what is the significance of 1914 to Jehovah witness?

Kent2020:

What makes you believe those things on jwfacts are true?

This one is definitely afraid of the truth... Hahahahahahaha

These facts are well known, but concealed from their members.

Add yr 2000 to the list

I got it from the records they obviously don't want you to see.

By the way, it's public knowledge and a simple research will clear your doubts.

Religious organizations are known for suppressing and twisting tales. It's even worse for JW who can go to any length to excommunicate members who starts asking real Questions.

Kent2020:

What makes you believe those things on jwfacts are true?

Because all the things there are based on your own publications and you can confirm them by checking the references from your own publications on JW.org or wol.jw.org

By the way, if it is lies, you will easily find that out for yourself. Remember what I told you about A Governing Body member woke up to the falsehood of the organization and left as his conscience could not allow him continue. See! I urge you to do your own research if you truly have integrity.

you do research it's one of two outcomes:

1.) You discover that you have the truth and your faith becomes even more rock solid and you can give your all to your organization without reservation

2.) You realize that your organization is not the truth. In which case you can you can be glad for discovering this and you would stop wasting your life for an organization that is not the truth.

The choice is yours.

Ask yourself are you being honest with yourself?
You tell people to research their religion with external sources but fail to do so for yourself. That is double standard. Do your research and take your stand for what is right.

Little wonder why they do not vote nor participate in earthly politics.

They want the earth to be destroyed so badly while they get whisked away to paradise..

Religion is madness.

Who's the son of man?

The son of man is Christ, The King. The Jesus that died for your salvation even though you do not know this...

For one thing, you will find the word of the scripture amazing if you give it a try. Honestly, there is alot to cover everyday life filled with love, peace of mind and absolute wealth.


I can relate with you if you don't mind. My name is Dave, what yours ?

You said all this without any authoritative source.


If some calls you fool now, you'd get angry.


I'd have called you slowpoke, but I won't.
