« But let us suppose a case far from our expectations : suppose that A. D. 1915 should pass with the world’s affairs all serene and with evidence that the “very elect” had not all been “changed” and without the restoration of natural Israel to favor under the New Covenant. (Rom. 11:12, 15.) What then ? Would not that prove our chronology wrong ? Yes, surely ! And would not that prove a keen disappointment ? Indeed it would ! It would work irreparable wreck to the parallel dispensations and Israel’s double, and to the Jubilee calculations, and to the prophecy of the 2,300 days of Daniel, and to the epoch called “Gentile Times” and to the 1260, 1290, and 1335 days, the latter of which marking the beginning of the harvest so well fulfilled its prediction, “Oh, the blessedness of him that waiteth and cometh unto the 1385 days !” None of these would be available longer. What a blow that would be ! One of the strings of our “harp” would be quite broken ! » — Magazine : The watch tower and herald of Christ’s presence, December 15 1913, pages 375-381 [5368] § 7.
