1960
December 11, 1960: While vacationing in Palm Beach, Florida, President-elect John F. Kennedy's life was threatened by Richard Paul Pavlick, a 73-year-old former postal worker. Pavlick's plan was to serve as a suicide bomber by crashing his dynamite-laden 1950 Buick into Kennedy's vehicle, but the plan was disrupted when Pavlick saw Kennedy's wife and daughter bidding him goodbye.[5] That attack of conscience foiled the opportunity, with Pavlick's arrest by the Secret Service coming three days later after he was stopped for a driving violation, with the dynamite still in his car. Pavlick spent the next six years in both federal prison and mental institutions before being released in December 1966.

In 1959 would mark the beginning of the End of Florence Houteff's ministry.
"On February 5, 1955, Victor Houteff died at Hillcrest Hospital, Waco, Texas of heart failure. His wife was elected the Chairman of the Executive Council, but through a series of unfortunate and ill-advised decisions and predictions, plunged the movement into disrepute, especially when the new Council forecasted the establishment of the Kingdom in April 22, 1959. This debacle became known as the "knock-out blow" and subsequently caused the movement to fragment, and the Association dissolved. "

Amongst many of the expectations of the Davidians, including and promoted by Florence Houteff were expectations
that Victor Houteff would raise from the dead. These expectations* were looked to come about in April of 1959.
A date for WW3 was set by Florence Houteff to occur on April 22, 1959. Her predictions cited that WW3 would Outbreak in the middle east, and that the Kingdom of God if not established on April 22, would be shortly following the
outbreak of WW3. As the date grew nearer, language was attached so that it may have not been a literal fixed date or event. Still, many saw such as the failure of a longstanding prediction seemingly based on a 42 month (3 1/2 yr) projection forward from 1955. 1960 would be a pivotal year in the Ministry of Benjamin Roden due in part to the event
of the failed expectataions attached to Florence Houteff in 1959. She had announced the timeline not immediately after Victor Houteff's death, but some months later to a timeframe that would place 1,260 days as coming to fruition about
passover of 1959. Others felt the date should arrive at July of 1959. Vernon Wayne Howell, who would become David Koresh, was born August 17, 1959.

February 22, 1974: Samuel Byck apparently planned to kill Nixon by crashing a commercial airliner into the White House.[6] Once he had hijacked the plane on the ground, he was informed that it could not take off with the wheel blocks still in place. He shot the pilot and copilot, then was shot by an officer through the plane's door window before killing himself. The events surrounding this assassination attempt were portrayed in the film The Assassination of Richard Nixon.

*******************
Though not immediately evident, 1974 would mark the end of Ben Roden's Ministry, as a new message was sent,
though not formerly announced, and hence, a new Messenger was on the scene. Ben Roden himself would
declare Lois Roden the next messenger in 1977, but it was clear her message came of the Divine, in 1974.

There has only been one time in the History of the Heirarchy of the church that rose
to become the Branch Davidian Church in which 2 Undisputed Prophets existed in the same
timeframe. This was with the Rodens. There was also the Whites, but James White has never been promoted as having been a "prophet."
Reports to me by Catherine Matteson indicate that Lois Roden first reported her vision in 1974, and then openly declared having a message in 1975.
She was not well received. However in 1977 Ben Roden declared by inspiration that she was
the next Messenger. There was 2 timeframes prior in which there were two assasination attempts on the SAME US President. One would by the 1960s. in which in 1960, during the disputed years with Florence Houteff and Benjamin Roden both Laying Claim to the Mantle, in 1960, There was an attempt on John Kennedy. In 1960, Florence Houteff would publicly prophecy and event which would not come to pass. This would mark the end of her message and in 1962 she publicly disbanned the Davidian Seventh Day Adventist Association. Despite this, in the end of his Ministry, Ben Roden to the anger of many Branches would proclaim that God had revealed to him that Florence was indeed inspired and some of what she offered was indeed correct. In 1963, in the 1st undisputed year of Ben Roden's ministry and moving forward with the mantle, Kennedy was assassinated.
Prior to this, in the 1860s, there was an attempt on Lincoln in 1861. In 1861 James and
Ellen White were intstrumental in uniting a fellowshiop of Sabbath Keeping Milllerites.
This would lead to the official formation of THE GENERAL ASSOCIATION OF THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS.
James and Ellen White stood with 16 ministers who protested that name being chosen. Still is was, and the first General Conference was held in 1865. In 1865 Abraham Lincoln was assassinated.
