A CURIOUS ULATlON.

the public, writes a Waterloo, Kan,
correspondent of the Louisville Courier
Journal, and may be of much interest
to those who have been studying the
prophecies, or watching the progress
of human events. Believe the results
or not, as we may, nevertheless here
are the figures, which any reader can
verify for himself. If these results
are here correctly foretold, then the
startling fact stares us in the face that
the world is within fifteen years of its
close. In the fall of 1899 the final
winding up is to take place. Here are
the calculations. Let the reader care
fully examine them:
To begin. There are several i'm
portant prophetic periods made known
In the Scriptures, and various dates, as
well as significant numbers, such as
the great period of $500 years, men
toned by Daniel, the period 1000
years and the period 1885 years.
Besides these there are in the book
Revelations other periods and signif-
cant numbers, such as the 200 years,
the period of the woman's sojourn in
the wilderness 1000 years, the period
of Satan's being bound, and GG6, IKE
number of beasts. Enoch's age $3.50
years. who prophesied of the second
advent among the antcdiluyian sin
ners, is also beyond question SYM
bolic number.
Perhaps, like the 365 days Which
complete each revolution of the earth
around the sun, making one year, so
his 1865 years may be symbols of the
great prophetic period known as
days." one grand revolution of which
is to complete one Of times great years
and finish earth's great career.
"Seven" is also one of the significant
numbers of Scripture, and week of
seven, or Of 7 times 7, still more so.
The student of Scripture will readily
recall frequent instances of this sig
nificant figure 7, and especially the
more important one of 7 times 7, or
49-the number Of final completion,
the finishing of all mysteries, the wind
ing up of affairs.
Very well. Now take these figures,
add them together, and see what you
get.
5000 years, Daniels great period for
the cleansing of the sanctuary.
l,2OO years, measuring the contin-
uance of the determination of desola-
ton"
1925 years, the period of "blessed-
ness" to the saints.
1900 years, the duration of the
woman's sojourn in the wilderness.
1000 the binding Of Satan.
666 years, the number Of the "beast"
who is to go into perdition.
1865 years, the symbolic age of Enoch,
the great prophet of the advent.
40 years, the number of final COM
pletion.
Total, S,265 years.
Now remember that before all the
catastrophes denounced on mankind
as the divine judgments against sin,
there was usually a period of 'waiting'
before the judgment fell so as to af-
ford opportunity for repentance and
escape, and the periods multiplcs Of
40; as, for example, before the food,
12O years; before the conquests OF
Canaan, 10 years, and before the fall
of Ninevah, 10 days, denounced by the
prophet Jonah. Now, add together
12O years Of Noah's warning before
the flood came, 40 years of Israel's
warning before judgment fell on the
guilty Canaanites. 81 years that the
witnesses laid unburied preparatory to
resurrection. and 5 years during
