« To my understanding the harvest of the Jewish age commenced in the fall of 29 A. D., and, being a period of forty years, ended in the fall of 69 A. D. In the spring of 70 A. D., at the time of the Passover, the Roman army besieged Jerusalem. The siege lasted about six months and ended in the fall of 70 A. D. Thus the great calamity that our Lord foretold to Jerusalem did not reach its worst until six months after the end of the Jewish harvest, and continued about six months thereafter, or one whole year after the end of the Jewish harvest. This same period in antitype, if antitype it is, would seem to be from April, 1915, to October, 1915. If there is any significance in this it would seem that the burning of the "tares" in the time of trouble will not take place until the harvest is entirely ended. » — Magazine : The watch tower and herald of Christ’s presence, The correspondency seems clear, July 1 1914, pages 206-207 [5496] § 2.
