g.-Why do YOU believe these events
will transpire this year?
A.-Because Daniels vision, which en-
braced all the important events in the
worlds history, from lis commencement
down TO the end Of time, will terminate
then.
GLOW do YOU know?
A.--Because the angel Gabriel told Da-
MEL that all the wonders which he had seen
in the vision, would be consummated in
$500 days or years.
C.--What Fight have you to reckon
days as years?
A.-Because that was 4 common method
OF reckoning prophetic time among the
Jews; and, moreover, we fad by pursuing
this mode Of reckoning, that all the inter-
mediate events which were 10 transpre be-
| tween the commencement and termination
of Daniels vision were fulfilled in precise
" the same number Of years as Gabriel
SAID there would be days ia their accom-
| pllshment. The streets o. Jerusalem we're
TO be built in troubIous times, and ID be
finished daring the first seven weeks ofthe
vision. Nell,we fihd that in just 40 years,
the exact number of days that there are in
| seven weeks, the walls Of Jerusalem were
| completed having been commenced by Ezra
| and finished by Nehemiah. Then the next
portion Of the vision mentioned by the an
gel, to wit, the three score aud two weeks
unto Messiah the Prince were fulfilled in
just the number Of years that there are
days in 90 weeks. at the baptism Of our
Lord by John, when his Messiahshp was
distinctly announced by an audible voice
from heaven. and by the descent Of the
Holy Ghost in the bodily shape Of a dove
and lighting upon him. But the grand
eveni-thal event which the angel inform
ed Daniel was 10 fix Gods everlasting seal
to the whole vision, and make it SIRE be-
yond the power of man to gansay-that
event. the angel said, it was determined
should be fulfilled in seventy weeks ..from
the going forth Of the mandment to re-
store and 10 build Jerusalem'' That event,
Daniel was informed, would be the cutting
off of the Messiah the Prince. According
