Both groups have disputed the relevance of the other's spiritual authority based on the proceedings following <a href="Victor_Houteff" title="Victor Houteff">Victor Houteff</a>'s death.

Thus far it is a chain, and no stronger than its weakest link. There exist, however, well established relationships among the dates of present-truth chronology. These internal connections of the dates impart a much greater strength than can be found in other [secular, archeological] chronologies. Some of them are of so remarkable a character as clearly to indicate that this chronology is not of man, but of God. Being of divine origin and divinely corroborated, present-truth chronology stands in a class by itself, absolutely and unqualifiedly correct."</span>
