September 1975 had been the date set for the world’s end, according to some zealots within the Jehovah’s Witnesses. However, it soon appeared that it was a slight miscalculation and had been corrected by the sect’s 81-year-old theologian, F. W. Frantz. The octogenarian squelched the idea of the September date by recalculating that Armageddon would come to pass only after the equivalent number of days that it took Adam to name the animals and for God to create Eve to have elapsed. By the Witnesses’ chronology Adam was created in 4026 B. C. making Autumn of 1975 the 6000th anniversary of his creation, one reason for the speculation that this time of year would be the Armageddon date.
