Seuraavassa otteita Jehovan oraakkeli J.F. Rutherfordin kuuluisasta kirjasta "Miljoonat, jotka nyt elävät, eivät kuole koskaan". Maailmanlopun piti tuleman tarkalleen vuonna 1925, ja vanhan ajan uskollisten fyysistä ylösnousemista povattiin tuolle vuodelle:
'...we may expect 1925 to witness the return of these faithful men of Israel from the condition of death, being resurrected' (Millions Now Living Will Never Die, 1920, p. 88)
"A simple calculation of these jubilees brings us to this important fact: Seventy jubilees of fifty years each would be a total of 3500 years. That period of time beginning 1575 before A.D. 1 of necessity would end in the fall of 1925, at which time the type ends and the great antitype must begin. What, then, should we expect to take palace? In the type there must be a full restoration; beginning of restoration of all things. The chief thing to be restored is the human race to life; and since other Scriptures definitely fix the fact that there will be a resurrection of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and other faithful ones of old, and that these will have the first favor, we may expect 1925 to witness the return of these faithful men and Israel from the condition of death, being resurrected and fully restored to perfect humanity and made the visible, legal representatives of the new order of things on earth. (Millions now living will never die, 1920 p 89-90)
"Based upon the argument heretofore set forth, then, that the old order of things, the old world, is ending and is therefore passing away, and that the new order is coming in, and that 1925 shall mark the resurrection of the faithful worthies of old and the beginning of reconstruction, it is reasonable to conclude that millions of people now on the earth will be still on the earth in 1925. Then, based upon the promises set forth in the divine Word, we must reach the positive and indisputable conclusion that millions now living will never die." (Millions Now Living Will Never Die. 1920 p. 97)
Ja vielä yksi ote suomeksi:
”Me voimme odottaa sen tähden luottavaisina, että 1925 tulee olemaan Aabrahamin, Iisakin ja Jaakobin ja muinaisten uskollisten profeettojen palaamisvuosi - - inhimillisen täydellisyyden tilaan” (Miljoonat, jotka nyt elävät, eivät kuole koskaan 1920, s. 65)
Vaan eipä tapahtunut eikä käynyt toteen tämäkään ennustus, vaikka Rutherford väitti saavansa tietonsa suoraan Jehovan enkeliltä.

"Without a doubt the Lord uses his angels to cause the truth to be published in The Watchtower... Certainly God guides his covenant people by using the holy angels to convey his message to them." (The Watchtower, February 1, 1935, p. 41)
"These invisible ones the Lord uses to put in the hands of his "faithful servant" class, that is, the man clothed with linen, the fiery message from his Word, or judgments written, and which is to be used as directed. The resolutions adopted by conventions of God's anointed people, booklets, magazines, and books published by them, contain the message of God's truth and are from the Lord Jehovah, and provided by him through Christ Jesus and his underofficers... The interpretation of prophecy, therefore, is not from man but is from Jehovah..." (The Watchtower, May 1, 1938 p. 143)
