In the ninth chapter of Daniel the
| man (angeD Gabriel gave the prophet
| a measure of the time that should
stretch from certain grand events unto
| Messiah the Anointed One. Let us
| examine the matter:
Daniel 9:24-27 may be divided into
four sections which. with their inter
pretations, are as follows:
sEcTIoNL
"a Seventy weeks are determined upon thy
| people and upon thy holy city. to finish the
| transgression, and to make an end OF sins. and
! to make reconciliation for iniquity and to
bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal
| up the vision and prophecy, and 10 snoint the
| Nest Holy.
The seventy weeks (Hebrew Sha bua)
referred to are found upon the strict
Post Exile Sabbatic scale of time.
They date from the first Jubilee year
celebrated after the dedication of the
Second Temple. The count was direct
ed to be made by the Prophet Zacha-
riah e, 81 in the fourth year of Da-
rius Hystaspes, and began with the
next year, i. E., after all the periods of
20 years referred to in Zach z and
had been fulfilled, This was the
year 34S7 A. NJ, which was a Sabba.ic
year, and counts as on the scale of so
years to reach the fiftieth or first Ju-
bilee, which was, therefore, 1886 A.

Nab.-464-S B. CT Now 20 Sabbatic
years required 20 times years-49O
years. since each Sabbatic year was
the last year of block of seven years,
and after the first Jubilee year had
been reached every forty-ninth year
thereafter was both Sabbatic and
Jubilee, explaining what Josephus
meant by saying ''the forty-ninth
year is the fftieth year" Hence
1886 A. NJ. and 400 years fetch
us to the acceptable year. (of Luke

This was in the fifteenth year of Tiber-
ius Caesar in which year John the Inner
ser came preaching in the wilderness.
The year of Tiberius began on the 10Th
of August, and the Sabbath year be-
gan at the new morn of the succeeding
autumnal equinox, exactly 1866 solar
years ago, reckoning from our current
new moon of September 10-11, 1898.
Now in this tenth Sabbath jubilee year,
after the first one above referred to, the
prophecy of Gabriel was consurlmated
by the amounting of Messiah the Prince

he was baptized, and I'd by the descent
of the Holy Spirit in the form of
dove. He was recognized by John
who testified to Him at once. and was
acknowledged by the voice OF God,
Thou art my Son, the beloved. in thee
I delighted" Now Jesus himself was
when beginning-about thirty years of
age having become $50 years old'' on
the Gath of the third civil Hebrew month
g of the winter solstice moon of 81
A. d. with which this Sabbath jubilee
year began. He was thus of the Levitt
ical legal age and SO ready to enter in
upon his ministry = Lamb without
spot or blemish."
