How many interpretations did the prophecy of the enormous tree that reaches to the heavens, have?
It had 2
1: After 606 B.C.E, his rulership would end due to his insanity but after 7 years he would regain his sanity and rule again as king.
2: Jerusalem would be destroyed, interrupting the line of Israelite Kings for 2,520 years and we get this since the Bible book of Revelation says that three and a half times equal 1,260 days. (Revelation 12:6, 14) Seven times is double that number, or 2,520 days. Sometimes, the Bible uses a day to represent a year, so 2,520 years. From 607 B.C.E, add 2,520 years which gives you, 1914; when Jesus began ruling as king in heaven.

How did C.T. Russell bring back the Governing Body in his time?
C.T Russell had dedicated his time, energy, wealth and more into the ministry and as a result, he was requested by the congregation of Christian Bible students at Allegheny to serve as its pastor or spiritual shepherd. Five years later, Zion’s Watch Tower Tract Society was incorporated and served as an “agency” to minister spiritual food to thousands of sincere persons seeking to know God and to understand his Word. Dedicated, baptized, and anointed Christians became associated with that Society at headquarters in Pennsylvania. Whether on the Board of Directors or not, they rendered themselves available for special work of the “faithful and discreet slave” class. They aided in the feeding and directing of the slave class, and thus a governing body made its appearance.
