« The Lord seems to give this suggestion, when he says foundation of the world, may be required of this generation ; that “the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, it shall be required of this generation.ˮ (Luke 11:50, 51) And St. Paul writes that all things written in the prophecies shall be fulfilled. So in the end of this age there are certain things charged up against Christendom for their evil deeds. This will include all the persecutions of this Gospel age, including also, presumaldy, all the persecutions against the Jews. Therefore the Scriptures indicate that a great time of trouble similar to that which came upon the Jewish nation will now come upon all Christendom. The experiences of Israel in the year 70 will be paralleled in the experiences of the year 1915. » — Magazine : The watch tower and herald of Christ’s presence, June 15 1913, pages 180-181 [5256] § 9.
