The Watch Tower and Herald of Christ's Presence, “(article on the parallel between the Jewish and Gospel harvests)”
“The parallel, therefore, would establish definitely that the harvest would close forty years thereafter; to wit, in the spring of A.D. 1918. If this be true, and the evidence is very conclusive that it is true, then we have only a few months in which to labor before the great night settles down when no man can work.”
Builds on 1878 as the start of the harvest and the Great Pyramid measurements.
