need scarcely inquire OF rhe attentive reader
after perusne this account of this most joyful event
i, the history of the Jews, from which tic pro,
ohecy Of the seventy weeks is 10 be dated-Cas
this be the date OF the beginning Of those dreadful
,alan,ites. predicfed in the vision of the 23Oo
DAYS. when the daily sacrifice was 10 be takea
away. and the abomination Of desoia'ion TO be set
40. and the sanctuary ana host be trodden under
foot
The fact that the two visions predict events en-
,irely opposite in their character, is OF itselia
orosf abundan,Iy sufficient that the date OF their
com mencemert cauno, be identical, or, in other
words the vision of the 1900 days does not be-
gin in the same year that of the 70 weeks As
this is the one single assumption upon which Mr..
Mier's theory of The end OF the world in l84S Is
fo1ndei, i, must be evden, that with the failure OF
ihis proof his whole system fails 10 the ground
Every intelligent reader Of Mr.. Mi!ers boo;
xl perceive that the commencement OF ms Other
pt.s,ic period is obtained simply by sub'act-
ing them from this one, to ascertain the daie Of
,hair commencement; consequently tine dlsptoOs
