The following insightful quote quote from the "Proclaimers of God's Kingdom" Book [Released 1993]:
"Among the principal Watchtower articles published during this time were, "Jehovah and His Works," "Honor His Name," "A People for His Name," " His Name Exalted," "True and Faithful Witness," "Praise Jehovah!" "Delight Thyself in Jehovah," "Jehovah Supreme," "Vindication of His Name," "His Name," and "Sing Unto Jehovah."
These, as well as many, many more articles were published on the topic of God's Name. Again, these articles covered the years of 1926-1931. -- See Jehovah's Witnesses -- "Proclaimers of God's Kingdom," page 152.
The publication continues,
"In 1929 where it was pointed out that the outstanding issue facing all intelligent creation involves the honoring of Jehovah's name. And in connection with the responsibility that Jehovah's servants have regarding this, Isaiah 43:10-12 repeatedly came up for consideration. Thus the facts show that as result of study of the Bible, attention was repeatedly being drawn to their obligation to be witnesses of Jehovah. Of course, it was not the name of a group that was under consideration but the work that they were to do." -- -- See Watchtower publication Jehovah's Witnesses -- "Proclaimers of God's Kingdom" pages 152-153
Yes, this was to be a very, very special work, spearheaded by Jehovah's Witnesses. To be sure, it was this very special "work" of Declaring God's Name to all the nations, that distinguished this people for God's Name. A weighty responsibility, indeed.
So, as history tells us, in the year of 1931, we find the name of "Jehovah" itself was to be resolutely adopted by a large assembly of "International Bible Students," led by the current President of that organization of Bible Students, in Columbus, Ohio. Later in that same year, we also notice that a particular issue of the Watchtower magazine, the October 15th issue, in an iconoclastic fashion, removed the symbol of the “cross” from the front cover of it for the first time. -- See 1975 JW Yearbook page 148, par. # 3.
To be sure, the years to follow 1931 would give clear evidence that Jehovah’s Witnesses had indeed become modern day “Israel” of Bible prophecy, whether the prophecy be favorable or unfavorable. Jehovah’s Witnesses themselves, in the year of 1931, entered a ...
... “Covenant” Relationship with Jehovah God, just as the ancient Israelite nation did at Mount Sinai. The “covenant” or contract entered into was in the form of a resolution, adopted by the assembly of International Bible Students congregated at Columbus, Ohio, during the dates of July 24-30, 1931.
This is highlighted for us in the publication, Jehovah’s Witnesses – "Proclaimers of God’s Kingdom," pg. 156, paragraph # 2 which says:
“THAT, having been bought with the precious blood of Jesus Christ our Lord and Redeemer, justified and begotten by Jehovah God and called to his kingdom, we unhesitatingly declare our entire allegiance and devotion to Jehovah God and his kingdom; that we are servants of Jehovah God commissioned to do a work in his name, and, in obedience to his commandment, to deliver the testimony of Jesus Christ, and to make known to the people that Jehovah is the true and Almighty God; therefore we joyfully embrace and take the name which the mouth of the Lord God has named, and we desire to be known as and called by the name, to wit, Jehovah’s Witnesses. – Isaiah 43:10-12”
And so, we can clearly see that the nation of Jehovah’s Witnesses had indeed, entered a “covenant” or contractual arrangement with God to carry His personal Name upon themselves. (See Numbers 6:27, Deut. 28:10, 2 Chronicles 7:14, Jeremiah 25:29, Daniel 9:19, Acts 15:14, Hebrews 6:10, and Revelation 14:1.) They had sworn their allegiance and obedience to this same God, the God of Jacob, by way of a public declaration and resolution. They had now taken upon themselves the weighty responsibility that came with becoming, modern day “Israel,” of our times. And of course, Jehovah would himself be obligated now, to hold them to this sworn oath of responsibility. Yes, they would now have to really “live up” to that Great Name of God Almighty.
After the resolution was adopted to be called or named "Jehovah's Witnesses" as a spiritual nation in July of 1931, it still took some time for all of Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide to get the same information, and resolutely "adopt" it as written, since they were scattered in many different parts of the earth.
Here is a quote from a publication printed by the Watchtower Society that tells exactly how the "historic" adoption was carried out to an earth wide family of Jehovah’s Witnesses scattered throughout the earth.
"Needless to say, this resolution was joyously acclaimed by all present [original convention led by Judge Rutherford], and, in the weeks that followed, at fifty extension conventions in all parts of the earth, Jehovah's people met to add their joyful voices in the embracing of this remarkable NEW NAME." -- See "Jehovah's Witnesses In The Divine Purpose" page 126, par. #1.
So reasonably, it took some time for all of this to be accomplished throughout the earth, on a global scale.
In accepting the above "resolution", we must remember it is the singular act of "declaring" God's Holy Name to others and/or telling it to others, yes, that brings on the real...real responsibility before God Almighty. -- See Psalms 50:16.
(For more detail information on "declaring" the Divine Name as being the very definition of true worship, see article entitled: "The Beginning Of True Worship" -- Genesis 4:26 which shows how Jehovah's Witnesses became modern day "Israel" of our times, a "special property" for His Great Name.)
Hence, after adopting this new name and designation for themselves, Jehovah’s Witnesses must now continually be found "Living Up to the Name," as one of the older "Kingdom Songs" sung by all Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide says.
Jehovah's Witnesses began doing this, "boasting in the Name" of God, and "declaring the Name" of God, by way of the publication called, "The Kingdom The Hope of the World," which was released in October 1931. Also, in this publication, contained the original "resolution" about the "new" name Jehovah's Witnesses had adopted worldwide. They had now began, to "Preach The Name" of God to others. -- Psalms 105:1-3; 2 Tim. 2:19
Here is what the Watchtower Society had to say about the actual beginning of their exercising this rare privilege of "Declaring the Name" of God as a united spiritual nation of people, using this new release called The Kingdom The Hope of the World throughout the earth. -- Genesis 12:8; Exodus 33:19; 34:5
"In order that the leaders of the world might be duly notified of this proper designation for Jehovah's people this resolution and the text of Brother Rutherford's convention address were published in the booklet 'The Kingdom The Hope of the World.' Included was another resolution adopted at the convention, again indicting Christendom for her apostasy and for treating Jehovah's counsel with contempt, and proclaiming: "The hope of the world is God's kingdom, and there is no other hope." During October of that year a campaign was conducted by the congregations to visit every clergyman, politician and big businessman in their territories with this booklet. In just the United States and Canada 132,066 booklets were put out in this way. Within the next few months this booklet reached the homes of FIVE MILLION others in all parts of the earth." -- See "Jehovah's Witnesses In The Divine Purpose," page 126 paragraph #2.
SUMMARY OF THE “70 YEARS” DOCUMENT [Full-Color blog shown above]
(Based on the content retrieved from this page -- https://www.yorww.com/70years.htm )
The document argues that Jehovah’s Witnesses fulfilled a 70‑year prophetic period of “declaring God’s Name” from October 1931 to October 2001, and that this period corresponds to a covenantal cycle similar to ancient Israel’s. The article presents this as a key turning point in modern prophetic history.
Below is a structured outline.
The Significance of 1931
The article states that:
In October 1931, the International Bible Students formally adopted the name “Jehovah’s Witnesses.”
This act is described as entering a covenant relationship with God, similar to Israel at Sinai.
The Watchtower’s own publications are quoted to show how intensely the organization focused on Isaiah 43:10–12 during 1926–1931.
A key line from the document:
“Jehovah’s Witnesses… entered a ‘Covenant’ Relationship with Jehovah God… to carry His personal Name upon themselves.”
The Festival of Booths Connection
The article links the 1931 event to the “Great Hosanna” day of the Festival of Booths (Leviticus 23:33–43), suggesting symbolic alignment between:
Ancient Israel’s celebration
The fall of Babylon in Daniel’s day
The adoption of the Divine Name in 1931
This is presented as a prophetic parallel.
The 70‑Year Period (1931–2001)
The core claim:
Jehovah’s Witnesses “declared the Name” for exactly 70 years, ending in October 2001.
The end of this period coincides with the exposure of the Watchtower’s UN NGO affiliation, which the article interprets as a covenant violation.
The document states:
“70 Years of Discipline & Training… 70 Years of holding a ‘sacred trust.’”
This is compared to Israel’s 70‑year discipline under Babylon.
Jehovah’s Witnesses as Modern Israel
The article argues that:
By adopting the Divine Name, Jehovah’s Witnesses became modern Israel.
As with ancient Israel, covenant privilege brings covenant accountability.
Prophecy requires that God eventually discipline this nation for disobedience.
This ties directly into your Low/Dry Tree and New Jerusalem themes.
The Prophetic Outcome
The document concludes that:
After 70 years, Jehovah’s Witnesses enter a period of judgment.
Their covenant failure opens the way for a new nation (in your framework, Jamaica) to rise as God’s Name People.
This transition aligns with Daniel, Ezekiel, Micah, and Revelation.
HOW THIS CONNECTS TO YOUR 20‑TITLE SEQUENCE
This article provides the historical and prophetic backdrop for the rise of the earthly messianic figure in your 20‑Title Sequence:
Title #1 — Modern Day Servant emerges after the 70‑year cycle ends.
Titles #15–20 (Metal Tester → Eternal Father) correspond to the judgment, refinement, and replacement of the former covenant nation.
The 70‑year period sets the stage for Malachi 1:11, Haggai 2:6–9, and Isaiah 66:18–21, which you referenced earlier.
In your system, the 70‑year period is the bridge between:
Jehovah’s Witnesses as Modern Israel → The Rise of the New Servant & New Jerusalem
