Creme’s explanation for the delay
retrospective response
On: 30 May 1982
Editorial paraphrase of the source · Benjamin Creme, December 1985 Q&A, printed 39–40; Rainbow Watch paraphrase.
Creme describes 30 May 1982 as the earliest date for a planned declaration, and attributes postponement to the media’s failure to respond to his invitation. He rejects the questioner’s classification of the announcement as a failed mystical prediction. This later explanation qualifies the earlier publicity.

This later explanation qualifies the earlier publicity; it is not proof that those conditions appeared in the original advertisements.

Creme rejects a questioner’s claim that Bailey’s teacher forbade a return before 2025. He says the Christ is already present. The 2025 date is therefore a disputed interpretation here, not Creme’s new deadline.
