The End Of the World.
A LIVELY AND INTERESTING PROGRAMME
FOR THE NEXT EIGHT YEARS.

FUR TUE NEXT EIGHT YEARS.
A new Canadian book of the pro
phetic sensation order, is thus sketch
ed by the Detroit Post:
"Coming wonders expected between
1867 and 1875" are fearful to contem
plate, if the prediction thereof can be
at all relied upon. The data of the
prophecy are found, as they always
are, in the Book of Daniel and the
Revelations. In the first place Louis
Napoleon is, it appears, the "last head
of the Roman Empire" Among 9th.
er proofs is the fact that the term
Louis in Latin is Ludivicus, and the
numbers corresponding TO the letters
of that name are D-50-u w 5-d
5000 5--i 1-c lou 5-s-666
that the Greek native Napaleonti in
an equally ingenious mannergives 666.
and that Louis Napoleon Bonaparte in
Hebrew also makes 666. But there is
also an identity between Napoleon
and the Greek form Apoleon and the
Greek word mai or truly; hence Ma
poleon is the "True Appolyon." Now
666 is the number of the Wild Beast
in Revelation XIII, 3, 7. Hence the
present Emperor Of the French is the
last head of the Roman Empire, who
is soon to make a seven years cove
nant with the Jews. Then he is TO alb
sorb ten European Kingdoms, being
the ten-horned beast of the "prophe-
cy." A great agitation in the Church
Militant will arise, the Jewish temple
will be restored, and the sanctuary
cleansed for Cbrist's coming. These
are the won ders of the first year. In
the second year, there will be an in
creased activity of the three frog-like
demon spirits Of infdelity, democratic
despotism (of which, perhaps, the
Connecticut election is the commences
ment,) and Jesuitical propagandism /;
Napoleon will make war upon Egypt
and conquer it; the Turkish empire
will be dissolved, and "tho four born
kingdoms of Greece, Egypt, Syria
and Thrace be established. The
third year opens with the resurrection
of all the deceased saints who with
IA 900 watchful Christians, are TO be
caught up together into Heaven. This
will be followed by an unparalleled re-
ligious revival, and in successive years
hail, and fire, mingled with blood, arc
to scorch third of the earth. Mi
cheal and Satan arc to renew their
war, the Christians are TO fee to a
wilderness and be miraculously sup
ported for three years and a half, then
eight months of universal war, third
OF the sea to become blood, third of
the rivers, and even lake tunnels. like
that OF Chicago, cannot save the nu-
merous victims of this impure water,
a third of the sun moon and stars are
TO be cclipsed, (nothing, it will be OBJ
serued, is to be done by halves.) Ma
poleon is to unite under himself the
ten kingdoms of Great Britain, France,
Spain, Italy, Algeria, Tripoli, Egypt,
Greece, Syria and Turkey. Napoleon
will capture Jerusalem, commence
general persecution of Christians, con.
fiscale the Romanish church property,
institute public worship of his image,
imprint his name on peoples fore
heads and hands, then famine for
eighteen months, a great smoke for
three weeks, FIVE months of locusts,
horsemen and horses breathing brim-
stone (Which, let us hope, will extcr-
inmate the rheumatism and popular I
of Scotland) with various
sores and fountains of blood, and the |
battle Of Armageddon, and earth
quakes, and variety Of other agree
able experiences which will keep men
in an exceedingly lively and disturbed |
for seven years. This non
sense is proppcd up by quotations
from fifty or more other writers as
crazy as the Rev. Mr. Baxter, the au-
thor of this work. He urges an i'm
mediate discussion on this subject, as
BY "these unparalleled troubles and ca
amitios, the present opportunity of
.raversing the countries and preach
ng the gospel, and announcing the
coming OF Christ, will ere long, to a
great extent, be taken from ns.p
