Christian Prophets of Jehovah

The Christian Prophets of Jehovah was formed in the 1970s by Timothy Tauver, a former member of the Jehovah's Witnesses. Tauver was a typesetter in the Witnesses headquarters in Brooklyn, New York, before his questioning of various doctrinal questions led to his disfellowshipping. After a period of intense Bible study, he came to feel that God had ordained him a prophet. While commissioned to speak to the nations, Tauver has a special word to the Witnesses and has on several occasions been arrested for refusing to leave meeting halls.

During the early 1980s, Tauver outlined a prophetic timetable calculated from the biblical books of Daniel and Revelation: on October 5, 1982, Babylon the Great (Revelation 17:5) will be established as the greatest power on earth; during 1983, over a million people were to suffer a premature death; Antichrist was to reign until 1989, God will deliver his judgment to the entire "world system" in 1989. Tauver has spread his message through constant travels, advertisements in newspapers, and media coverage of his attempts to confront Jehovah's Witnesses. He has also written a series of open letters to the United States President Ronald Reagan.
