4123The “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” (Isai. xlii. 6; xlix. 8); and believers were “caused to cease sacrificing and offering”....33
The forty years ensuing, are styled in scripture πασας τας ήμερας, έως της συντελειας του αιωνος—all the days until the end of the æon—p. CH 36 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 transpired3770a
4187The Apocalypse communicated to the apostle John while an exile in Patmos about2898
4402The “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. 5215313
4413“Silence in the (Catholic) heaven about half an hour” begins11324
4414The Constantinian, or Laodicean, Pentecost, styled the Council of Nice1325
4426The Silence in the heaven ends at the death of Constantine12337
4620The 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 1290 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 Mediterranean194531
4620Beginning also of the 1335 years, which extend to “the time of the dead,” when Daniel and John “arise to their inheritance.”—Dan. xii. 12, 13....531
4695After 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. 36-3975606
Beginning of the “time, times, and dividing of time,” when the saints where 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 Forty-Two 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
4721Beginning of the first period of “five months” Saracenic tormentation of the unsealed.—Apoc. ix. 4-626632
5021Ending of the second period of “five months,” signalized by the fall of the Caliphs300932
5151Beginning of “the hour and day and month and year,” or 391 years 30 days, appropriated to the subversion of the Greek Catholic Imperial Third of the Roman Orb.—Apoc. ix. 151301062
5542End of the 391 years and 30 days, signalized by the capture of Constantinople by the Turks3911453
5661The St. Bartholomew Massacre, which signalizes the finishing of the testifying p. CH 37 of the witnesses before the Serpent and the God of the earth, at the end of “a time, times, and half a time,” or 1260 years.—Apoc. xi. 3; xii. 6, 14, 17; and the making war upon them by the Beast1191572
5774The witnesses conquered by the Beast, and “killed.”—Dan. vii. 21; Apoc. xi. 7; xiii. 71131685
5879The witnesses remain unburied corpses in the Breadth of the Great City “three days and a half,” lunar time; at the end of which political life enters into them, and they ascend to power, 1260 years from the Justinian epoch.—Apoc. xi. 9, 11, 121051789
5911End of the 1290 years desolating abomination, signalized by the beginning of the outpouring of “that determined upon the Desolator” of the Holy Land, in the Greek Revolution321821
5950End of the Evening-Morning period, 2400 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 QUESTION391860-1

  1. a“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. ↩
