List of Articles of End-Time Predictions
Here is a partial resource list of Watchtower publications that
have predicted the end coming, some stating it is even
prophesy. None of these predictions have ever come true, so
one can make the arguement based on what Deuteronomy 18:20-22 says
that they are false prophets.
Scans of actual articles are linked when
available. If scans are not available, links are to
other websites that have the information quoted. Check back again,
as I am in the process of scanning more articles from books I have
found.

of the "Chart of Ages" using images of pyramids and pages 82 & 83 talking about the
pyramid.
Thy Kingdom Come/Studies in the Scriptures 1909 has
several pages stating when the end would come. On
the contents page, it recaps what is in the series
of books and states the "Last Days" are said to have begun in AD
1799 and its close would be 1914. Then on pg. 23 it states the same dates. On
pg. 342 it shows calculations using
measurements of the Great Pyramid of Gizeh. On Page 313 this chapter about The Great Pyramid
says it is the testimony of God's stone witness and prophet. Several drawings showing how the pyramid was
used to calulate the end time prophesy are throughout this chapter
and in the beginning of the book. When the end did not come
in 1914, later publications say that 1914 is when "The Time of the
End" started(1914 end time prediction)
