When will the last Generation be over?
Are we finally in the Generation of the end? The Watchtower says ‘yes' and is now pointing to 2005 as the end of the Generation of the Anointed that started in 1935.
...
When will this generation of the end be over? The Bible points to a 70 year period of time that is considered the maximum span of a Biblical 'generation'. Since The Watchtower is now pointing to 1935 as the start of the final generation, 1935 plus 70 years equals 2005.
...
Let's summarize these statements and give our conclusions: Some of the anointed will be on the earth when Armageddon begins. You qualify to have the hope of surviving Armageddon depending on how you treat these anointed ones. The anointed class ended in 1935. The great crowd class that is to go into paradise earth alive after surviving Armageddon started in 1935. Those born in 1935 will be 70 in 2005. And of the anointed class - a young anointed individual 20 years of age in 1935 will be 90 in 2005. The generation of the anointed runs out of time by the farthest stretch of the imagination by 2005 and the youngest of the generation of the great crowd who were given the new hope of surviving Armageddon will be at least 70 years old in 2005. Time is quickly running out!
....
Jehovah's Witnesses are even taking the Watchtower's reasoning and expanding on it to argue that the 70 years from 1935 to 2005 relates to the creation of Eve.
The Watchtower says that we don't know how long Adam lived prior to the creation of Eve. The delay in the date of Eve's creation was the Watchtower's reason for why Armageddon didn't occur in 1975. Jehovah's Witnesses are now speculating that since the Society draws a parallel between Adam and Jesus, and since Jesus started to prepare his "wife" (the 144,000 Anointed class) at the age of 30, there is a possibility that Adam also received his wife at the age of 30. Since 1975 marked 6000 years from the creation of Adam, that would point to 2005 as the end of 6000 years from the creation of Eve. The seventh 1,000 years is Jehovah's rest day and is just around the corner according to the Watchtower's calculations.
