You may enquire swEat yision? Ian
sWef, the one Daniel had in the begin
hlng, for he nhas had no other. That is
no other since that And you In your
own remarks so understood me ;--for you
say, = you would make us believe that il
was the one VISION ine which mention
was madeofthei $500 days, chapt. viii. 81
This is correct you.haVe nowimy object
and meaning But you go on and. say,
you furthermore say, page As. Daniel
has had only one svision.''I4 This is not
correct, neithergin sentiment nor word.
Iurn to page AZ, you will there see what
l meant by, In the beginning.'' 10" To
the end of these wonders A few words
on this point, will close my remarks
You quote my remarks, page Sc, ito the
end OF these wonders means, to the end OF
the reign of the beast which the world
wondered AFTER see Rev. xiii. 8. Then
you saw, ''this might answer a purpose
very well if it could be sustained. But
common sense and little English gram
mat will show this explanation to be
wrong Let me tell you, my brother,
thaticommon sense and a'little OF the holy
Bible, will show it to be right. g -. a.-- -
=, Daniel xii, 6: And. one said to the
man clothed in linen which was upon the
waters Of the river, how long shall ii be
to. the end Of these wonders ~ Take no.
tice of his answer, ",And | heard the
man clothed in linen, which was upon the
waters of the river, when he he'd up his
right hand and his left hand unto heaven,
and swore by him that lveth forever, that
1t shall be for a time, times and an half"
What shall be-" &C.. Answer the
END of these wonders" at the end of
" time, times and am half" This l think
is English at least. Now let US see if
Daniel has no: heard something about
this before, Daniel vii, % to Is g" Thus
he said the fourth beast shall be the fourth
kingdom upon earth, which shall be d.
verse from all Kingdoms, and shall devour
the whole earth, and shall tread it down,
and break it in pieces. And the ten horns
out of this kingdom are ten kings that
shall arise" Now if you know any
thing about history, which is absolutely
necessary in order to understand the
and certainly to review others
works; but / will acknowledge you have
an advantage over me in this, your ignor-
ance, pretended or real, will prevent your,
seeing the light, and my arguments from
having weight. These ten kings did not
arise until after A. D. 476. Is And anoth-I
er shall rise aGer them = and he shall be
diverse from the first, and he shall subdue
three kings. This, sir. is Papacy. 1t
rose after the kings. and was diverse from
them, for it blended civil and ecclesiastic-
al power, and subdued three kingdoms.
Lombardy, Ravena and Rome &c And
ne shall speak great words against the
Most High, and shall wear out the saints
Of the Most High, and think to change
times and laws" These are the wonders
be shall perform against God, his saints
and his laws. Not as you say against
the Jews, their laws, and Jerusalem.
"And they shall be given into his hand,
until time, and times and the dividing of
lime" This is the same as spoken of in
the xii, 6, 7, reigning the same time but
Daniel is told more about this beast in
chapt xi, 8 to 80 verses inclusive. In
his place his acts are described and won
ders shown. "And arms shall stand on
his part, and they shall polute the sauctu
airy of strength, and shall take away the
daily sacrifice" This you call Jewish
sacrifices; had l time sir, would show
you, that your eyes are exactly where
you say mine are. You can see no other
sacrifice but Jewish. "And they shall
place the abomination that (astonisheth)
naketh desoIate." See the marginal
reading. Astomisheth, maketh the world
wonder. See, also, the yii, IL: And |
from the time that the daily sacrifice
shall be taken away. and the abomination
hat (astonisheth) maketh desoate set up,
here shall be 1890 days. See the mar
ginal reading astonishett. You see, by
all these readings, that this little horn that
arose after the ten kings, was papacy,
which was as John tells US, Ito continue
AZ months Read Rev. xiii, SIS.
Compare this with Daniel vii, 2l-25
also tx, 3l-39. See Rev. xiii, 10: "And |
1e doeth great wonders plural so that he
naketh fire come down from heaven on |
he earth in he sight of men, and deceiv-
'th them that dwell on the earth by the
means of those miracles which he had |
oower to do in the sight of the beast"
Compare with the above passages in Dan
ell, Rev. xvii, 1870 l8. And NAV God |
