Studies in the Scriptures, Series III — Thy Kingdom Come (839,000 Edition), “Chapter X — The Testimony of God's Stone Witness and Prophet, the Great Pyramid in Egypt”
“we may understand the reference to be to the anarchous trouble which will follow October, 1914; but a trouble chiefly upon the Church may be expected about 1910 A. D. … the date 1910, though not furnished in the Scriptures, seems more than a reasonable one for some important event in the Church's experience and final testing … The four years from 1910 to the end of 1914, indicated thus in the Great Pyramid, will doubtless be a time of “fiery trial” upon the Church”
This is the rewritten form of the passage that in 1891 had said the bride of Christ ‘will have passed beyond the vail before the close of A. D. 1910’. The definite prediction is gone. In the same passage the 1891 wording ‘it must also witness the purifying of that larger company’ becomes ‘it may also witness the purifying of some of that larger company’, and ‘These, before the end of this period, must come up out of the great tribulation’ becomes ‘Some of these … may come up out of the great tribulation’.
