NAPOLEON AND THE ooAING EVENTS.
MR. EDroR:-I-havs given some account Of
the fret chapter of the book under review.
The second presents twenty leading events
that may be expected to occur during the cio-
sing seven years and two and half months of
the Christian Dispensation."' The two and
half months or seventy.fve days. is period
often mentioned by our Author. 1t makes up
the difference between the "tine, times, and
half" or twelve hundred and sixty years and
the thirteen hundred and thrty.6ve yeare, or
days, Of Daniel xii: 7-l2.
MIR. Baxter has his year.days and literal
days. For example, every. day in the twelve
hundred and sixty days (Rev. xii: : g. stands
| for year. These are year.days, and during
this long period of twelve hundred and sixty
years ten prophesies of Daniel and Revelation
have been fulfilling.
Corresponding to these year days. there is to
be twelve hundred and sixty literal-days, du-
ring the seventeen or last week of Daniels sew.
enty weeks. The Events of this last or seven
tieth week have not yet transpired, according
to Baxter, NOR will they be fulfilled until the
Jews are restored to Palestine as a nation
Zach day of this SEVENTEEN week stands for
year, making seven years and during The last
haIf of these seven years, that is for twelve
hundred aud sixty literal days astounding
events will occur. II
Mr.. Baxter mentions twenty of these 'E,-
vents" and if the first occurs, the res, are like
ly to follow, proving his views of Prophesy to
be correct.
shall state as briefly as possible these TWEEN
ty evenls-
Event I. The confirmation of seven years
covenant between Napoleon and the Jews,
Daniel ix: 27.
Event H. Renewal Of the Jewish sacrifices
and temPle.worship al Jerusalem nine months,

iv: i6. l7.)
Euent vi. An unprecedented revival of Re-

Erent VII. Commencement of astounding
Physical Phenomena, such as hail. fire, DC,

Eusnt VIII. War in Heaven, and expulsion

Event XII. Division Of the entire Territory
Of the old Roman Empire into ten Kingdon's,
afsat' Britain, France, spain &c, under Napo-
leous Lordship. (Rev. xvii: l2.)
The foregoing events fall out during tie Fl irst
three md a half years. or half week Of Daniels
seventeen week. The remaining eight events
are to happen during the second three and
| half years of the SEVENTEEN week or twelve
hundred and sixty literal days.
This period is called The Great 7+i5ulation.
To state the Erents at length would occupy too
much space. They nro briefly. ''The assault
upon Je'usalem by Napoleon the Anti-christ,
and the substitution Of the worship of his image
in the place of the Jewish sacrifices
The Prophcsying Of the Two witnesses. Elijah
and Enoch or Moses. The first, second and
third woes; the conversion of millions; the
darkening Of tho Cancellations and great
Earthquake, and the coming of Christ In the
| olonds of Heaven.
The seven years Covenant between Louis
| Napoleon and the Jews 10 to constitute the
startipg.point for these twenty Events. 1t Is
| expected that this Covenant will be made be-
| tween this and the sixteenth of next October.
then the seven years and two and half months
| would extend from 1866 to 1873.
But il Napoleon should not make the Cove
nant at all, what theni Why Mr.. Baxter and
other writer's who agree with him will be
greatly mistaken il not disappo inted, and must
| look out for some other Personal Anti.christ
and universal, prosecuting Monarch.
Time will develop the course Of Events, and
after what has happened in our own land for
the last few years. we need not be surprised
| it Napoleon enters into Covenant with the Jewr
in year or two.
NJ Baxter saws "The recent French expo.
diiion to Syria shows Napeleon's intention to
| obtain possession Of Jerusalem; and in taking
| this step he is only carrying out the pass Of
| the first Napoleon. who convened an assembly
| of the Jews at Paris and meditated THAR rssto.
