THIRD EDITION

FOR the GAxETTE.
Fulfilment of the Prophecies.
Prophecy means the STORYTELLING of
future events.
To do this correctly requires super
human knowledge, or communica
tions.
The Bible furnishes large body of
this kind Of evidence, which no other
book can do.
The historical prophecies of the
Bible, which are very numerous, have
hitherto been fulfilled with astonish-
ing accuracy, and are still being full
filed before our eyes.
The sovereignty of the earth was
promised to Israel and under David
and Solomon the nation stood pre-
eminent above all others.
But as the people did not prove
faithful, this high position was taken
from them and given to the Gentle
nations, and they were banished out
Of the land. But in mercy there was
limit set to this matter, and very
definite one too.
After SO many years this Gentle
rule was to cease, and Israel was to
again become the head of the na-
tions.
The prophecies of Daniel are very
clear on this subject, aud he fixes the
termination of Gentle rule from his
time at twenty three hundred years,
ssHow long shall be the vision concern
ing the daily sacrifice and the trans
gression of desolation, to give both
the sanctuary and the host to be trod-
den under foot. And he said unto me
unto two thousand and three hundred
days (years). THEN SHALL THE
SANCTUARY BE CLEANsED."
This time terminated at the end of
A. d. 1880. after which we might look
for the fulfilment of the prophecy at
any time.
1t comes in very unexpected m an
ner. The Turks engage in the busi-
ness. The ''sanctuary" was the sum-
init Of Mount Moriab, where Solomon's
temple stood.
But 1t must be remembered that the
temple was not Christian church,
and that it was not destroyed by the
Mohammedans.
The Romans destroyed all the build
ings on Mount Morah in A. D. 10, and
the site Of the temple has been desolate
ever since.
Here is the order, COPIED from Scien-
tific Americsn.)
RESTORING soLoMoN's TEMPLE.
Reut Pasha, the Turkish Governor of
Jerusalem, has recently received mper-
alive orders from Sultan Abdul Hamid
to resume the work of restoration of
Solomon's Temple, commenced under
the reign of Abdul Azlz, but discontin-
ued some five years ago. The Pasha
has also been instructed to clear the
great square fronting the Temple of all
the rubbish and RANK vegetation with
which 1t is al present incum bered. In
this square stands the famous MOSQUE of
omar, which derives revenue OF some
tlo,00O year from pilgrim contribu-
lions and other sources, Hitherto the
greater portion OF this sum found its way
annually to Stamboul. The Sultan,
however, has decreed that henceforth
shall be applied TO defraying the ex-
penses oil the works above alluded to.

was begun at the instance OF Francis

Land, shortly after the accession of
Abdul AZ to the throne; and # was the
recent pilgrimage OF the Archduke
Rudolph TO Judea that impaired fresh
impulse to the interrupted enterprise.
