REMARKABLE PROPHECIES
And Cerreftonding Events.
SCRIPTURE PROPHECY.
The sixth head of the Roman or fourth Beaff,
or the form ol Government under Emperors, sub-
Sißiug in the timeof the Apoßigohn, wafyfo SalL
*Rev. xvii. 10.
,FULFILMENT.
The fame sixth head did jall by the depoftion of
Augttjiulra about the year 476. See Gibbon's hif
tury ( f the decline and fall of the Roman Empire,
and the authors he refers to.
PROPHECY.
A seventh bead fliould arile, and continue a fliort
space. Rev. xvii. 10.
FULFILMENT..
'§The power of the Gethic Kings did arise, as a fe
"venth head or form of government, after Augufr
tulus ; and continued about sixty years ; a space
short compared with the duration of the former. —
See as in the lajl article.
"PROPHECY.
The feventb Head was to fall. Rev. xvii. 11.
FULIItMENT.
The power of the Gothic Kings fell, when Rem,
was taken by Bellifavius, about the year 538 — and
their attempt to recover it terminated by the com.
plete vidory of Narfes, Anno 554 — Vide as above.
- PROPHECY.
An eighth head was to arise of an uncommon
character. Rev. xvii. 11, 12.
FULFILMENT.
Rome was left by Bellifavius, and thenceforth
there was ho proper head there but Pope Vigiiius
and his Jucceflors. fie, as Gibbon relates, had pur
chafed the Papal throve by a bribe of two hundred
pounds of gold—And his predecessor had been de
clared, by the Eaflern Emperor, to be judge of ail
men, ond himfelf to be judged by no man ; as dlr.
Matin, quoted by Newton, relates. This head
teas of the feien, an individual Ruler, as the
Kings and Emperors had fuccefirely been ; bus
claiming to rule by spiritual power, was very d:.
s. fe ;jo was an eighth head. Under him t„e
broken Empire afitmed a new form ; Thu> an/we;.
ed the description, " the beafl who was, and is net,
and yet is."
PROPHECY.
The power of this head to reign and make war
is limited to 1260 years. Rev. xiii.fr
FULFILMENT.
The power of the Pope to reign and make war,
has lajied 1260 years, and now is no more. Ifve
reckon its rife from 554, the final defeat of the Go
thiegenerais, then 1260 prophetic years f^cdi,
each, ended in 1796 :* about which time hisp^vs r
ceefd—lj we compute the beginning of the Papal
power, from the taking of Rome by BeßiJmiu,,
Anno, 538, according to Mr. King, referring t-.
Procopius ; then 1260 common or fulian year's end
in 1798. The very year, wherein the French <%
tered Rome, and drove the Pope into exile. If <t^
Gibbon Juppojes. building on the Jeries of events,
rather than on the text of Procopius, the taking
Rome was in 536, then the end of the 1260 years If
the Papal power would fall out in 1796, as on
the former computation.
Is not such a fulfilment of prophecy by won
derful events, which neither men nor angels could
forefee, a pledge of the approach of events, glori
ous and tremendous, predicted as to follow these ;
and that fpeedify ?
* 1260 years of 360 days, fall short of common
ones, by 18 years.
THE edition of the Bible mentioned by Addi.
son as having been published in the reign of Cher Jes
I. with that error in the decatouge, “ Thou flu It
commit adultery," is it appears .not without para
lel. Among the various readings is an alteration
once made by a German Printer's wife in the Sen
tence of Subjection to her husband pronounced up
on Eve, recorded in rhe j6th verse of the tliird
chapter pt Genelis. This woman, who after the
death of her husband, for foipe time carried on ti e
Printing bnlinefs, one night look an opportunity
of going into the office, where a new edition of
the Bible was printing, when, taking out the two
frit letters of the word Herr in the above men
tioned faff rt ge, She fubßitmed N^ in their place
thus altering the fenteirce from “ And he Shall he
thy Lord," to " And he Shall be ihy Fool." 'Ac
cording to report this piece of mingled leviry and
folly cost the woman her life, as She was, on de
tention, put to death at Leiplic, and the copies
wrought 'off with this alteraion ordered to be
bought up by the magistrates and destroyed. Some
however were secreted, and are oecafionally pro.
duced for sale, when they fetch an enormous price.
It is said that one of ttefe copies .is among the gpj
le&ioa of Bible, atStutgard.' • ,
