  5. This date is determined as follows: The length of Jerusalem's desolation was foretold as 70 years. (2 Chronicles 36:21) It was also foretold her captor, Babylon, would be destroyed at the end of that time. (Jeremiah 25:11, 12; compare Daniel 9:2) The most authoritative achaeological evidence shows Babylon as overthrown October 7, 539 B.C. (See: Babylonian Chronology 626 B.C.-A.D. 45, by Richard Anthony Parker and Waldo Herman Dubberstain [Chicago, 1942: The University of Chicago Press], p. 11.) This would be the accession year of Cyrus, successor Persian king. The following April, 538 B.C., would begin his first regnal year. (See: The Myserious Numbers of the Hebrew Kings, by Edwin Richard Thiele [Chicago, 1951, The University of Chicago Press], p. 14.) Within that year a decree was issued for the release of the Jews and by the fall they

    had begun to resettle Jerusalem. (Ezra 1:1; 3:1, 2) Therefore, since the foretold 70-year desolation ended in the fall of 537 B.C., it must have begun in the fall of 607 B.C. with Jerusalem's destruction. [NOTE: Although the archaeological evidences referred to here were not known in 1914, they have since only served to refine and corroborate Russell's caclulations.

  9. International Bible Students Association was the generic term used from 1910 until 1931 to identify those unitedly sharing in Bible educational activities supervised by the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society throughout the world. That term as so used until 1931 corresponds, since 1931, with use of the term Jehovah's witnesses to identify perticipipants in the continuing earth-wide work, announcing Jehovah's kingdom. (See: The Watch Tower, Vol. 31, No. 7, April 1, 1910, pp. 110, 120; Vol. 34, No. 1, January 1, 1913, pp. 6, 7, "The Harvets Work World-wide"; Vol. 52, No. 19, October 1, 1931, pp. 291-297.) Incidentally, the mentioned generic use of the term "International Bible Students Association" from 1910 to 1931 should not be confused with use of the very same name chosen for the corporation created and registered at London, England, in 1914, and later also chosen for the Canadian corporation, for supervising the Watch Tower Society's activities in the United Kingdom and in Canada, respectively.
