Life Everlasting—in Freedom of the Sons of God (book), “Chapter 1, pars. 41-43”

1966 · pp.29-30 · pars. 41-43 · Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York

“According to this trustworthy Bible chronology six thousand years from man's creation will end in 1975, and the seventh period of a thousand years of human history will begin in the fall of 1975 C.E. ... How appropriate it would be for Jehovah God to make of this coming seventh period of a thousand years a sabbath period of rest and release, a great Jubilee sabbath”

Paragraph 42 adds 'six thousand years of man's existence on earth will soon be up, yes, within this generation'. The 'how appropriate' sentence is par. 43 on p. 30 (not p. 35 as sometimes cited); the p. 35 chart was not checked.

The Watchtower, “Mankind's Millennium Under God's Kingdom—Why Literally So”

15 avril 1967 · p.236 · par. 25 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“According to a more recent calculation of the Bible timetable, six thousand years of man's existence will end in the latter half of the year 1975, which is well within this century. The Bible millennium is ahead of us”

Contrasts Ussher's 1996 date with the Society's 1975 calculation.
