Ninth Period

John Thomas · pp. CH 42–CH 43

p. CH 42From the Crucifixion to the End of the Evening-Morning Period of 2,400 Years

Embraces 1,827 Years.

A.M.	Events	Years	A.D.
4123	The “cutting off of Messiah the Prince” by crucifixion inflicted by the Little Horn of the Goat, in which he was “given for a covenant of the people” (Isa. xlii. 6: xlix. 8); and believers were “caused to cease sacrificing and offering”	....	33
	The forty years ensuing are styled in Scripture, πασας τας ἡμερας, ἕως της ουντελειας του αιωνος: all the days until the end of the æon (Matt. xxviii. 20); very incorrectly rendered in the English version, “Alway, even unto the end of the world.” These years are “the last days” of Heb. i. 2, James v. 3, and 2 Tim. iii. 1, and “the end of the world” of Heb. ix. 26 and 1 Cor. x. 11. The Æon, of which these years were the last days, was the MOSAIC COURSE constituted by the law, which had “waxed old and was ready to vanish away” (Heb. viii. 13). These last days of the MOSAIC ÆON or χρονοι αιωνιοι (Tit. i. 2) are familiarly styled the APOSTOLIC AGE: the events of which, worthy of being remembered, are recorded in all the New Testament, except the APOCALYPSE
4160	“The Daily taken away and the place of his sanctuary cast down,” by “an army being given against the Daily because of transgression.” The people of Messiah the Prince, styled in Matt. xxii. 7, “the King’s armies,” sent forth to destroy the city and sanctuary. These armies were “the host given to the little Horn of the Goat,” or “king of fierce countenance,” by which “he cast down to the ground the truth,” in its Mosaic representation (Dan. viii. 11, 12, 23: ix. 26). Referring to this destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple by the Roman Little Horn, Jesus said, “Of that day and hour knoweth no man—no, not the angels who are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father” (Mark xiii. 32). Forty years afterwards, however, history recorded the event as having transpired	37	70
	“The Vulgar, or Christian Æra, symbolized by A.D., was not fully settled till the year 527, when Dionysius Exiguus, a Romish abbot, fixed it to the 4713th year of the Julian period, which was four years too late. It is, however, now so generally received that this gross error in calculation is but seldom regarded.” According to this, four years should be added to all the dates of the Vulgar Æra for the true A.D. denomination
4187	The Apocalypse communicated to the apostle John while an exile in Patmos, about	28	98
4402	The “One Body,” apocalyptically symbolized by a woman, pregnant during a “set time” of 280 years from Pentecost, A.D. 33. During this symbolical gestation she advances into the period of the sixth seal, when she is delivered of the MAN CHILD OF SIN, who is caught up by the power of the sword to the throne of Deity, or supreme government of the world. He founds the despotism styled “Church and State,” which thenceforth rules all the nations of Daniel’s Fourth Beast with a rod of iron (Apoc. xii. 5)	215	313
4413	“Silence in the (Catholic) heaven about half-an-hour” begins	11	324
4414	The Constantinian or Laodicean Pentecost, styled the Council of Nice	1	325
4426	The silence in the heaven ends at the death of Constantine	12	337
4620	The Daily having been abolished when the place of its sanctuary was destroyed A.D. 70, the time is now arrived after an interval of 460 years, “to set up an abomination making desolate the Holy Land; which is to continue 1,290 years; or, “to the outpouring of that determined upon the Desolator” (Dan. xii. 11; ix. 27). In the Justinian epoch, Noushirvan invades the land of Israel. Antioch is taken, and its inhabitants translated to the banks of the Tigris. The wars were long and desolating, and continued through the reigns of Justinian, Justin, and Tiberius. Syria was reduced, and the Persian standards advanced to the shores of the Mediterranean	194	531
4620	Beginning also of the 1,335 years, which extend to “the time of the dead,” when Daniel and John “arise to their inheritance” (Dan. xii. 12, 13)		531
	After a gestation of 280 years from the Council of Nice, A.D. 325, the “GREAT HARLOT” gives birth to “THE GOD OF THE EARTH,” who, in the Phocan epoch, is fully “revealed” in Rome (Dan. xi. 36-39)	75	606

		573
	Beginning of the “time, times, and dividing of time” when the saints were imperially “given into the hand” of the Episcopal Mouth of the Little Horn by the Civil Power (Dan. vii. 25). These “times” are identical with the 42 months of Apoc. xi. 2: xiii. 5, in the Phocan epoch	....	604-8
	Beginning of the “time, times, and a half” sworn to by the “Man clothed in linen” (Dan. xii. 7); and by the Rainbowed Angel also swearing that the “time shall be no longer” (Apoc. x. 6), which personages are identical	....	604-8

5911	End of the 1,290 years desolating abomination, signalized by the beginning of the outpouring of “that determined upon the Desolator” of the Holy Land, in the Greek Revolution	32	1821
5950	End of the Evening-Morning period, 2,400 years from “the third year of Cyrus”; notably signalized by the immediately succeeding hexennial epoch of the American-Civil, the Franco-Mexican, the Russo-Polish and the Austro-Prussian Danish wars; with pestilence, financial perplexity, and the ominous ROMAN QUESTION	38	1860
	Whole number of years from the crucifixion to the end of the 2,400	1827
