Até 1932 as profecias hebraicas de restauração eram aplicadas ao retorno dos judeus à Palestina; o livro Vindication (1932) passou a aplicá-las à restauração da própria organização a partir de 1919.

The Watchtower, “Part 1—Flashes of Light—Great and Small”

15 de maio de 1995 · pp.19-20 · par. 16 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“In the second volume of Vindication, published by the Watch Tower Society in 1932, a flash of light revealed that the restoration prophecies recorded by Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and other prophets did not apply (as once thought) to the fleshly Jews, who were returning to Palestine in unbelief and with political motivations.”

The paragraph records that the movement had previously applied the Hebrew restoration prophecies to the literal return of Jews to Palestine, and that in 1932 it applied them instead to its own history from 1919.
