for ever and ever; not till lSi3, the end of time, as
we say, or 1877, 1860, 1898, the longest say,
but tor ever and ever; therefore their kingdom OF
the stone cut out without hands does not begin nll
the end OF time. But read 10 the end OF the 7th
chapter, without prejudice, and you must be con-
WINGED that the last beast is the Roman Empire, that
Its horns refer 10 other Kingdoms now on earth,

morrow) and that IL is still In exlstcnc IN
one shape or other, and will be till the end of

lonish kingdom; the second was the Medes and
Perslans, ralslog itself on one side-ior one line OF
kings ruled there and their conquess were all In
line TO the west OF their own territory; and the
three ribs the three Kingdoms OF Babylon, Me-
dia and Persia united; and as to devourng much

this represents the rapid conquests OF Alexander,
who mastered the world In SIX years. The tour
wings on its back the four provinces his king
dom was divided into after his death, and the tour
heads refer to that fact in Rollin that thirty years
after his death these four provinces became four Sc
parate and independent kingdoms. The fourth beast
OF course is Rome; with the ten horns divided at
this was the power or kingdom ofthe Pope of r ONE,
throwing down three other horns, that is the three
Kingdoms of the Herui, the Ostrogoths and the
Lombards. THIS is the same as Paul's man OF SIN.
The Ancient of Days and the judgment in the 9Th
and 10th verses is Christ sitting at the Judgment
Seat next year. This is so clear that If any minis
tiers OF sod doubt II. pray God forgive them their
awful blunder. Now the opinion have OF that
great day is this: that on that awful morning shall
first of all see small bright light in the
east this will grow brighter than a thou
sand suns this will be the glory OF God. Then
there will be cloud approach, on that cloud

In the 18th verse, he says that the saints shall be
given into the hands of the Ii. tie horn till times and

That this is the true meaning of the terms know;
because in other parts of the Blble where the same
language is used in reference TO prophecies that have
since been fulfilled, these terms refer to precisely
those periods This will be admitted by all scholars
and theologians. Every little child in Sabbath

the 3rd verse, he relates his third vision thus:-
Then lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold there
stood before the river which had two horns: and
the two horns high but was higher than the
other, and the higher came up last
saw the ram pushing westward, and nothward and
Southwark that beast might stand before him. nei-
Their there that could deliver out OF his but
he did according to his will, and became great.
And as was considering behold an he-goat came from
the west the face othe whole earth and touched not
the and the goat had notable horn between his
eyes.
And he came to that had two horns which had
standing before the river and ran unto MIN IN the
fury of his power
And | saw him come close unto the ram, and he was
moved with cholar against him. and smoe the ram, and
brake his horns and there power in the ram
to stand before him. but he cast him down to the ground
and stamped upon him and there was none that could de-
liver the ram out of his hand.
Therefore the hegoat waxed very great and when he
strong the great horn broken and for up
four notable towards the four winds Of heaven.
And of one ofthem forth little horn, which
waxed exceeding great toward the SOUTH and toward the
east, and toward the pleasant land.
Audit waxed great, to the host OF heaven and II
cast down of the boast and ohe stars to the ground
and stamped upon them.
Well in this 9Th chapter from the 10Th verse to
The ram was Media and Persia the he-goat was
Greece il 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
power, which had a small beginning; That con-
quered Egypt on the south, Syria on the east, Ma
cedonia and Thrace the north and east, or plea
SAINT land. This is the same as the Great
Dragon in the Revelations, and refers to Pa
gan as well as Papa Rome. 1t destroyed Je-
rusalem, and cast down the stars. Well, now we
come TO the explanation OF the text and vision. II
carries us down 10 this day the 23OO d:ys. Now
it cannot mean mere days, because we know more
than 200 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, Bath verse
He told Moses that 40 days represented 40 years,
each day for year. He told Ezekiel to lie on one
side 800 days. and on 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
the 9th chapter and 20th verse the vision he there
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
10 weeks in the 9th chapter and Path verse was to
see the fulfllment of the prophecy in weeks and
three score and weeks the Messiah was to be cut
off. Well, the 40 weeks began from the going forth
of the decree to build the walls OF Jerusalem. In
the llth and 18th chapters Daniel gives the history
Of the world more in detail. These 40 weeks were
fulfilled in 400 years.
