the Beast, and is contained in the word Aativos. The number 1335 is contained in the name Χ Επίσκοπος. The whole name of the Beast therefore, appears to be x Λατεινος Επισκοπος, and the whole number 2001. We believe that in the year 2001, the one thousand three hundred and five and thirty days of Daniel terminate.

In this year the Duke of Rome was slain, and the Pope became "the Eighth” head. "The Beast" is now "the Eighth," and the 1260 years, or "forty and two months" of St. John commence.

The mean year between the year 727 and the year 755.

In this year the Pope "plucks up the first horn, the exarchate of Ravenna, "by the roots."

In this year he "plucks up" the second horn, the state of Lombardy, "by the roots." In this year the third horn, the Senate of Rome, and the other two horns, which had been “plucked up" by the Pope, were secured to him by the confirmation of the Emperor Lewis the pious. By this we see that the Pope is the little horn of Daniel.

The first Angel pours out his vial upon France. The French Revolution.

This year is 1260 years from the Edict of the Emperor Justinian. King and Queen of France guillotined.

In this year the 1260 years (from the year 727, when "the Beast" was "the Eighth") terminate. The seventh Angel pours out his vial. Downfall of the Pope. The Pope destroys the Scriptures. The Jews cross the Euphrates and return to their own land. The ten horns rebel against the Pope, and there is a general revolution throughout all Europe. The plains of Italy deluged with blood. The mystery of God is finished; the words of God are fulfilled; the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled also. The Church of Rome is cast off as an apostate church, and the Jewish Church is grafted in.

is past, and behold, the Third Woe cometh quickly."

The seventh Angel begins to sound. The Jews most zealous missionaries. Universal publication of the Gospel. The conversion of the Jews, "as life from the dead," to the whole world. "The kingdoms of this world become," one after another, "the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ." The POPE a confirmed INFIDEL. Commencement of the THIRD woe, or the woe of INFIDELITY. THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON.

The final struggle between the kingdom of Christ and the kingdom of Satan. The Siege of Jerusalem. The armies of Antichrist gathered against Jerusalem to battle. A time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that same time.

The termination of Daniel's period of 1335 years. This year is also 1260 years distant from the year 741; the mean year between the year 727, when "the Beast" was "the Eighth," and the year 755, when "the little horn plucked up by the roots" the first of the three horns, which constitute the Papal dominions, viz. the Exarchate of Ravenna.

The coming of Christ. The Pope "consumed with the spirit of his mouth, and destroyed by the brightness of his coming." The first resurrection. The twelve Apostles

"sit upon twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel." Daniel "stands in his lot at the end of the days." Many of those who have slept in the dust of the earth awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt." The Pope cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone." Commencement of the Millennium.

This year is 1260 years from the year 755, when the Pope "plucked up" the first horn. Termination of Daniel's period of 1290 years. The temple of Jerusalem rebuilt.

One other period is mentioned by Daniel, a period of 2300 days, at the termination of which "the sanctuary shall be cleansed." (Dan. viii. 14.) Now it is remarkable that the "He-goat," or Alexander, invaded Asia in the year B. c. 334, and if, with Bishop Newton, we date the commencement of the 2300 years from this invasion of Alexander, they will bring us down to the year 1966. But if, with Jerome, we read 2200 days or years, we are brought down to the year 1866, which, as we have observed, is a fatal year to the Papacy. In the year 1866 "the sanctuary will be cleansed." Jerusalem will be freed from Mahommedan dominion, and it will be manifest to all that the sixth Angel is pouring out his vial upon the mystical Euphrates, "that the way of the Kings of the East may be prepared." Instead of 2300 days, the Septuagint read 2400 days or years. Now in the

year B. c. 536, Cyrus became King of Media and Persia, and was the Ram with two horns. In this year the Jews began to return; and in the following year they laid the foundations of the temple, in the second month Tjar, which corresponds with the latter end of April and the beginning of May. The close of this year (after the Jewish reckoning) corresponds with the beginning of the year B. c. 534; and if we assume this as the commencement of the 2400 years, we are brought down, as before, to the year A.D. 1866.

The year 1866 is a remarkable year. It is 1260 years from the year 606, when the Pope was-de facto as well as de jure, as Roman Catholics would say-Universal Bishop. It is 1260 years from the year 606 when the religion of Mahomet arose. It is 2200 years from the year B. c. 334, when the Hegoat " invaded Asia. It is 2400 years from the year B. c. 534, when the Jews had laid the foundations of the temple, after their return from Babylon.

We agree with Mr. Faber, that the year 1866 is a remarkable year and will be fatal both to Popery and to Mahomedanism. At the same time we maintain that the "forty and two months of St. John, cannot commence before the year 727, because "the Beast" was not "the Eighth" till then. Consequently they cannot terminate before the year 1987.

It is, however, remarkable, that whilst Mr. Faber makes the year 1896 a fatal year, because it is 1290 years from the year 606, we have put down the following year, viz. 1897, as a fatal year, because it contains the fatal figures 1-7-8-9.
