A CURIOUS CALCULATIONS
Ihe End OF tho World Figured Out, md
tho Period Fixed at 1900.

The following singular and yery cu-
rius calculation, by which tho an.
preaching end of tho world it deter
mined. has never before been made
known TO tho public, writes u Water.
loo, Kan, correspondent Of tho Louis
vile Courtcr-Juurnai, and NAV be of
very great interest to those who have
pcen studying tho proph"Ci"4, or
watching the progress q! human events.
Belicve the results or not. ~ we may,
nevertheless here are the figures, which
any reader can Worthy for himself Ii
these results aro horc correctly fore
toid, thon tho startling fact starrs us
IN tho faco that tho world is within
nltoen years of its close. In tho fall of
1899 tho 1lnal winding up is to take
place. Hero are tho calculations. Let
the reader carefully examine them:
10 begin. There are several impor-
tant prophetic periods made known in
the scriptures. and various dates. as
well as significant numbers, such rs
the great period OF $500 years n,.n-
toned by Daniel, the period of l.2yO
years, and tho period OF 1885 Years.
Besides these there are in tho book of
Revelation other periods and siynli-
cant numbers, such as the 1.2OO Years;
the period of tho woman's soiourp in
the wilderness, 1000 years the period
OF Satan's bcing bound. and GGG tho
number Of beasts. Enoch's ago 1865
years., who prophesied OF the second
advent among the antediluvan sinners,
is also beyond all question a symbolic
! number.
Perhaps. like the 800 days which
complete ono revolution of tho earth
around tho sun, making ono year, SO
his 365 years may bo symbolic Of tho
great prophetic periods known As
days one grand revolution Of hich
lsto complete ono OF times great Years
and finish carth's career. 'Scycn" is
also one OF tho significant numbers of
scripture. and Il week OF soven," or Z
times Z. still more so. Tho student of
scripture will readily recall frequent
instances OF This significant figure Z.
and especially the more important ono
of times Z, or 49-the number of final
completion, the finishing of all mys-
tcries, the winding up OF carth's affairs.
Very we'll. Now, take these h.urcs,
add them togclhor. aud 500 what you
got:
$500 years. Dams great period for
The cleansing of the sanctuary.
l.29O years, measuring tho continu-
ancc OF the "abominatlon Of desola-
ton"
l. 1886 years, tho period Of "blcsscd-
ness to The saints.
l, 2GO years. tho duration of tho wo-
mans sojourn in tho Wilderness
1000 years, tho binding of Satan.
666 years, tho number OF the ..bcast"
who is to SO into pcrdition.
800 years, tho symbolic age of Enoch,
the great prophet OF tho advent.
AZ years, tho number of final compile
ton.
Total 8.265 years.
Now remember tina; before all tho
catastropbes denounced on mankind as
the divine judgments against sin there
were usually periods Of waiting be-
fore tho judgment fell. so as to afford
opportunity of repentance and escape,
and these periods multiplcs of 40, as,
for example. before tho flood, 1870
years; before tho conquest of Canaan,
Az years; and boforo tho fall OF Nine
veh, 40 days, denounced by the pro-
phct Jonah. Now add together 1870
years OF Noah's warning before the
Hood came, 40 years of Israel's warn
ing before judgment fell on tho guilty
Canaanites. 81 yenrs that the witnesses
laid unburicd preparatory to rcsurrec-
tion, and three years during winch tho
owner OF tho vineyard camu seeking
fruit and finding none, at tho cxpira-
ton Of which period tho fig tree WAS to
be cut down. and you have 1864 rs tho
sum.
Now. to apply Z ESQ mystic numbers
and learn their ,niieancc, imagine
your life divided into tho four periods
OF childhood. youth, manhood, and old
age. SO rs TO get it in its completeness.
Iako your ago in years. leaving .of
months and days. add it to itsclf thrco
times Como for zach OF thcso four
periods). add to it tho mystic number
o.265 the sum OF tho great prophetic
periods) In order to ascertain the full
sum Of timo's revolutions. and divide
tho amount OF four (tho number Of
universally, because thoso calculations
apply equally to overy human boing).
subtract from tho quotient tho other
mystic number 1861 (poriods Of warn
ing given to man before tho execution
OF final doom). and from tho remainder
deduct tho number of years you have
lived in this sublunary world, and you
get the number 1894.
NOW 1t matters not what agc You
take. that Of tho little child or tie old
man, tho result is tho samo, tho omni-
GUS l,0993 always remains as tho one
fatal period when every human life is
to close. But tho ono yoar in which
overy human careor Is to terminate
and evory life close must be tho final
year, the winding up. tho conclusion
OF all sublunary things. tho year Of
doom.
A singular confirmation OF this cal
culation Is to bo found in tho fact that,
according to an old jewish tradition.
the world was created in tho fall Of tho
year, of which tho old fehst of trum-
pots, occurring In October, was sup
posed to bo the memorial. And 1t
would DO natural TO suppose that it
would DO worry appropriate for It to
close Its career on the completion Of
ono Of Its annual revolutions; in otho
words, In tho fall of the year. And so
this remarkable calculation plainly in
dicates. The throe-fourths singularly
points out that fact Hence, II theso
