Bis 1932 wurden die hebräischen Wiederherstellungsprophezeiungen auf die Rückkehr der Juden nach Palästina angewandt; das Buch Vindication (1932) bezog sie stattdessen auf die eigene Wiederherstellung der Organisation ab 1919.

The Watchtower, “Part 1—Flashes of Light—Great and Small”

15. Mai 1995 · pp.19-20 · par. 16 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“In the second volume of Vindication, published by the Watch Tower Society in 1932, a flash of light revealed that the restoration prophecies recorded by Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and other prophets did not apply (as once thought) to the fleshly Jews, who were returning to Palestine in unbelief and with political motivations.”

The paragraph records that the movement had previously applied the Hebrew restoration prophecies to the literal return of Jews to Palestine, and that in 1932 it applied them instead to its own history from 1919.
