regenerateG in heart, and consequently in their vee We copy the following article from the Midnight Cry, at tne request of valued friend who is be liever in the near aProach of the Second Advent of Christ. The writer thinks the 2300 days of Danie expire, at the outside, on the lst of June, lS43.
 THE END 6F THE PROPHETIC PIE. RODS.
 Tho termination of the 70 weeks or 490 years of Daniel, has been a matter of some doubt, though it is agreed by all that they must have closed near the Crucitxion. To make them close three and il half years af. ter that event, would be to break up the en. tire prophetic chain, because you cannot harmonize the l290 and 1885 with such a termination for nothing, ir my mind, can be clearer, than that the l29e closed in l796 then there are but 45 years more, which must terminate ;n 1843. But if the 70 weeks closed three and half years after the Cru. cifixion, the 1910 years from that period would not close till ls47 thus making an entire break in the cbairs of prophecy. consider the 1290 and 1888, so to speak, a binder, that fastens the wao|e period, and makes it sure that the 230fzand 1910 termin- ate in l843: and considcsth that position in,- moreaLIe. The only questisn. in my mind, is, at what time in the year tfese prophetic pc. riods run out. Iconceiye I must be some. where between the Crucifpon and the king of the south pushing at the exceeding great horn." See Dan. i2s: 40 The power pushed al, 1apprehend, wasthc same "horn." That horn, at first. was P;e!an Rome then Rome under the 10 kings,tl.e dominant power of which, for long time -7as papacy then came up the atheistical least, viz. France, the head of which q: lengA; was Bonaparte i; and the French power becoming the domin- inant power in the "dividca" Roman empire. is then the exceeding great horn," at which the king of the south, Egypt, pushed, which pushing marks distincly l',n commasnces'aem of |" the time of the end" Ise French army, under Bonaparte, landed in Egypt the list day of July, 1795, and during that month the most decisive battles seem to have been fought. From shat period we may safely date the commencement +r' the time of the end ; and 45 years fron, that time we may cXpoct Daniel will stand ;n his lot. |" Lot" in the Scriptures, signiii.; inheritance in the promised land. and not tie resurrection, as some of Us have thought See Numbers 26 :: 52-56.
 "And tho Lord spake unto Noses saying : Unto these shall the lans he divided for m inheritance, according to the number of Dames. To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and 10 few t3icu shalt give the less inheritance; to every one shall his inher. itance be according to those that were mum. bered of him. Notwithstanding, the land shall be divided by lot, according 10 the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall in- herit. According 10 the 10. shall the possess sion thereof be diYidcd between many and few.'
 Sec also 33d chaStcr. Sith verse:
 "And ve shall dig;deShe land by lot for an inhcrimnce among yous familics: and to the more -yeshali give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inher- itance: every mans inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth according to inc tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit"
 Also, EZk. 48: 29, which aprchcnd, is a description of the divisioa of the heavenly Canaan. or new earth, among the tribes ofthe true Israel, who arc heirs according to the promise. "This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for an inheritance, and these are their portions, saith the Lord God"
 When that division is made, and not till then, will Daniel stand in his |" lot" The l200 days, then, carried us to July, 1799 |; and the 1885 will carry us to July 1913, when all the saints may expect to stand in their lot on the new earth.
 Before that time. the 23O0 days must ter min;te; and as the 70 weeks seal those days, if we can find where the 70 weeks terminate, we can come at Il pretty accurate calcu- Iation as to the termiration ofihe 2300 days. l conceive they will close 10 c day, because when part of a year belongs to the prophe- cv, "an hour" is added, as in the case ot the Ottoman Empire Rev. 9: l5; and the angel says. Dan. 8: 19; "At the time appointed, the end" shall he.
 The last week of 70, the Messiah was to "confirm the covenant with many" and that week carries us to the amounting of the Most Holy, Holy, of liolies, or" Holy place. See Heb. 9: l2 That was the last act of the 70 weeks, and must Dc supposed 10 take place either at our Stviour'S crucifiXion, res. urrection, ascension, or the day of PcDtecost, which was 50 days after the crucifiXion.- The same may be said to be true with res pect to the termination of the week in which he confirmed the covenant "To confirm" a thing is, "to put past doubt hv new evi- dence 10 settle, to establish" Now all this was done at farthest by the Pentecost and can hardly see how the Lord could be said to confirm the covenant with many after his ascension, when he personally Jeff his follow CTS, in any sense that he did not for years af ter, if no, unto this day l. e. he does it by pouring out the Spirit. It strikes me, there. fore, that the ascension is ihe most probable period of the termination ot the 2300 days It may be at the crucifixion. resurrection, or ascension.
 The inquiry now arises, what day in tho year does the anniversary of the ascension occur this year, 1943 Ianswer-If we reck- on by solar years, the crucifxion took place
