NEWARK, Wednesday, Nov g.
The Angel said to Daniel, "Beholdn will show
you the truth, He did So, The three Kings o.
Artaxerxes, and Darius. And the fourth richer than
| all was Artaxerxes Longimanus. He was the ram
pushing westward. The mighty king in the Sd
verse is Alexander, his kingdom was broken and di
vlded to the four winds, and not to his posterly-
The king OF the south in the 9th is Ptolemy
king of Egypt. The 9th verse alludes to Berenice
the daughter OF Ptolemy, who went TO the king Of
| the North, Antochus, IN Syria; the latter divorced
| his wife Laodice, and married Berenlce; bnt she
didn'tretaln her power; she lived two years with
! him; and then Laodice slew them all, and set up
her son Seleucus CallInicus to be king He that be-
gat her shall be gwen up; the margin says he that
she begOt that is her son, whe was slain. The 7th
verse alludes to Ptolemy Evergetes, her brother,
who fought with Seeucus and prevailed, and took
booty back 10 Egypt and reigned 46 years; this was
| longer than Selencus The 10th verse refers 10 the
iaters two sons; SiIencus Keraunus, and Antiochus
the Great father OF Antfochus Fpiphanes The lltll
verse refers 10 Ptolemy Philapater who entered
Syria and conquered It, And 1t must be observed here
| that Antochus Epphanes is not alluded to in the
| whole OF this prophecy, and never conquered any
kingdom. Thus we getto the end of Alexander four
divided kingdomsan very good history it ls for
prophetic one Then we go TO the power, that Is,
Rome in the 14th verse where many shall stand up
they were robbers OF Gods people, and this estab'
fishes the vision; and when Rene, the 4th kingdom
came every onesaidDaniel, was true prophet;here
is the last kingdom They robbed the jews OF every
thing, and the Christians Of peace and comfort OF
mind. For although the Roman Catholic was once
the true Church. it has since been sold to the Devil
And this Romish church will stand till the last day,
when Christ the stone shall dash it 10 pieces Now,
!, Daniel gives us the history Of the Roman Empire
The King of the North in the 10Th verse is julius
Caesar, and the other is Pompey; (" his chosen peo-
pie shall not withstand them;" no, for the Romans
took Jerusalem and made it a province. He that
cometh against HIM Pompey) shall do according to
his own will; this was Cesar; Tor he was Dictator.
"The daughter of women" in the 18th verse was
Cleopatra. She was lewd and corrupt. But she
stood not on his side; atho' she became his mistress,
for she went over to the triumviraie and became
Antony's mistress He turned to the isles. Caesar
went 10 the Grecian isles and conquered Pompey;
he turned his face to his own land, U9th verse )and
fel-he was stabbed in the capital. This is the
end of julius Cesar Now to the 10th verse. The
raiser OF taxes" This was Augustus Caesar; see
in Luke; " all the world was taxed well, he
fell, but not In anger or battle; whilst all
thu other Caesars died violent death. Now
the 2lst verse-the vile person, stands for Ii
berus Caesar he was the vilest man that ever
lived; why he was so vile that there warn't hardly
handsome woman in the hull kingdom that he
ddn'ttry to ravsh and degrade. Jesus Christ was
crucifed under him and this brings us down to
the end OF the seventy prophetic weeks Tiberius
did obtain the kingdom by batteries; and the
"prince of the covenant" mentioned in the ed
verse was in his reign broken. Now the history of
Pagan Rome begins in the 23d verse the league
here spoken Of was league made between the
Jews and the Romans He, Tiberius, shall become
strong with small people. Well, the Romans
were small IN territory and small in name, at their
beginning The league was made contrary to the
command OF God, who told the Jews to make no
league with the nations; but they did. Well. when
was 1t made? Now we know that l6S B. c. Mace
dona was conquered by the Romans after that,
Demetrius, the Macedonian general, besieged Jeru-
salem Ii l6l b. c. a delegation went from Jeru-
salem to Rome to ask assistance against Demetrus
The league or treaty was not ratified until 15S B. c.
when the Romans wrote to Demetrius, and
he had to withdraw his troops. Then l5S before
Christ, the Romans become connected directly
with the people of God, at that time as far as re-
CARDS prophecy, the history of Pagan Rome may be
said to have begun; tor although Pagan Rome had
then been kingdom of the earth 700 years, yet
neither 1t nor any other country is spoken of in
prophetic history until that country is connected
with the people of God. The 9Th chapter of Mat
thew, however. explains this very fully. This, them
was the beginning of the league. and the beginning
OF the history of Pagan Rome as far as the Bible is
We shall this afternoon go into the
history of Pagan Rome, and 60 down through Papal
power from the Pope. Well, how long was the
power of Pagan Rome to coniinue!-666 years; for
that was the mark on the beast in the hevelations

the Pope was to be taken away Now let us see

This is exactly the year that Bonaparte took the
civil power away from the Pope, and destroyed the
mighty influence of his kingdom, and it agrees with
the time in Daniel, chap II, verse llth, the 1890
days. But was this TO be tue end OF the world 3
Oh no for IN the 9Th verse he says, Blessed is
five and thirty days" That's 1895 years. Now let
us calculate again. From the end Of pagan Rome

This is SO plain that child can understand it;

LIFE BoATs.-Three beautiful Francis Life Boats
were put on board line Of steam packets yesterday.
1t was quite show. And now that their inven
ton has proved useful as predicted, there is
no excuse for any passenger vessel to be any longer
without them. There has been proof enough of
their qualities, and passengers neglect to demand
them as right they should suffer some.
