That this Is the true meaning of the terms know;
because in other parts of the Bible, where the same
language is used in reference TO prophecies that have
since been fulfilled theseterms refer to precisely
those periods. This will be admitted by all scholars
and theologians. Every little child in Sabbath
Schools knows it. In the 9Th chapter Of Daniel at
the Bird verse, he relates his third vision thus -
Then lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold there
stood before the river ram which had two horns and
the two horns were high but higher than the
other and the higher came up last.

Their there any that could deliver of his hand
he did according to his WILL and became great.
And as was considering, behold an hegoat came from
the west the face of the whole EARTH and touched
the and the goat had notable horn between his
eyes.
And he the ram that had two horns, which had
seen standing before the river and ran unto him in the
fury Of his power
And saw him come close unto the ram, and he was
moved with choar against him. and smote the and
brake his two horns and there power in the
to stand before him. but he cast him down the ground
and stamped upon him and there that could de-
Liver the ram out of his hand.
Therefore the hegoat waxed very great and when he

east, and toward the pleasant land.

and stamped upon them.
Well in this Sth chapter from the 18th verse to
the end, we have the INTERPRETATION of this vision
The ram was Media and Persia the he-goat was
Greece; it bounds like leopard and comes from the
west four horns sprung from it, the four king
doms after Alexander died, and out of one Of the
horns came forth little horn that was the Roman

Dragon in the Revelations, and refers to Pa
gan as well as Papal Rome. 1t destroyed Je-
rusalem, and cast down the stars. Well, now we
come TO the explanation OF the text and vision 1t
carries us down to this day; the 2sOO days. Now
IT cannot mean mere days, because we know more
than 300 days have passed since the time of the
Modes and Persians. Well. the last chapter but
one in Daniel and Revelations tell us what it
means. God speaks in parallels 1t means years.
Look in the l4th chapter Of Numbers, 34th verse.
He told Moses that 40 days represented 40 years,
side 800 days, and the other 40 days typical of
SO many years, every day for year. These 1900
days then are years How do we know ? Look at
Daniel, the 10th verse of the same chapter. So to
refers to-, is the vision in the 9th chapter and no
other; all lawyers and doctors agree to this. Mr..
Upham, OF New Hampshire, Judge Northrop, of
Massachusetts, Judge Clark, of Rutland County, all
agree to this These prophecies tell the histories of
the earth, the outlines of the worlds history. The
7O,weeks in the 9th chapter and Oath verse was TO
see the fulhlment OF the prophecy; in weeks, and
three score and weeks the Messiah was to be cut
of. Well, the 20 weeks began from the going forth
OF the decree to build the walls OF Jerusalem. In
the l1th and 18th chapters Daniel gives the history
OF the world more in detail. These 20 weeks were
fulfilled in 400 years.
Weeks 10

AGO days, or prophetic years.
You remember about seven years ago the patriarchs
OF the Jews came over and had proclamation for
the restoration; and Mordecai M. Noah figured
IN 1t they published that Christ would come in
1872 or lS4S They were right but the only diff
ference that they said it was his first coming,
and we say 1t is his second Then the parsons said
to the rabbs, it can't be his first coming, because
what do you do with the 10 weeks in Daniel % The
=" Cursed be he that reckons the 10 weeks in Da-
MEL Now, the same parsons turn round and
curse us tor reckoning the 20 weeks in Daniel.
Now let us calculate: Artaxerxes Longmanus
This was 457 years B. G. Ezra and Nehemiah went
forth with the decree and governed Israel - years
TINS came down to 40S years B. c.. This 40 years
stood tor z weeks From 40S till the time Christ
preached the gospel was 434 years in the reign of
Ilberlus Cesar. Thus =
-, 434 years
Chrlst was preaching the gospel. years
400 years
thus. these 20 weeks were fulfilled to the day.
For Ezra stated on the 12lh day of the month and
Christ was crucfed 2 days before the passover,
winch was the l4th day of the month. Now, we
know that there is not 400 years 1900 literal days,
and yet 4O years OF that vision were thus fulfilled
Therefore 1t must mean years. Now there were
thus 40 years of the 300 years OF the vision ac-
complished at the death Of Christ. Now then =

Now, don't go home and report that Father Mil
Ter has prophecied, because he has merely shown |
you how to get at the truth through the Bible and
TO know that next year the Judgment will come and |
Christ, and the fire, and the burning; and oh! |
cant tell you half that will take place on that awful |
day day You'll go home. They'll say, Been to hear
No; it's all nonsense Now, my friends it's not
all nonsense, for part of it's been fulfilled, and the
rest will be next year. The vision began with |
Persia, and ends with Rome which still exists, but
which dies in 1913 God make you ready for that |
awful day, and his name shall have the glory. |
Amen,
This sermon was attended by many ladies Of the |
