Answer #2

           In the publication "Jehovah’s Witnesses in the Divine Purpose," the WTS admits that Russell first learned about 1914 through an Adventist publication called "The Herald of the Morning" published by N. H. Barbour. After reading their views, he set up a meeting with Barbour and his study group. After their discussion, Russell was convinced that Barbour was correct in his chronology and in his theory about the invisible presence of Christ. They then began a partnership whereby they wrote a book entitled "Three Worlds or Plan of Redemption" that used Barbour’s calculations to determine when the "Gentile Times" would end.
