10 Reign over a HeVlVSu 1sOI44etu
Empire-The Rebuilding Of Jeru-
Standardization Of Christians
to Heaven.
One Of the scariest things recently
appearing in print is a publication en-
mating from the Prophetic News Of
fee, 20 Tudor street, Salisbury Square,
London.
II is a pamphlet, containing forty
two pages. entitled, Great Events at
Hand, from 1896 to 1908 and is en-
bellished with thirteen pictures and dla-
grams.
The author appears, from foot-note
on the first page, to be Rev. NJ. Baxter
said foot-note stating, among otAsr
things. that The first edition Of this
little pamphlet was written and IN
print in 1866, and was enlarged n 1881.
Since the last named year there ap-
pears to have been frequent additions
ard editions, until tins present issue.
The contents of this pamphlet, which
is decidedly phrOphet.c in its nature,
are startling enough to sati.Gy the most
exacting taste in that line Of literature.
1t is as full Of sensations and imDrob-
abilities as a copy OF the New York
World. and the reader fairly revels in
blood and is satiated with disaster,
while such unusual incidents as the
translation of 144C00 Christians TO
heaven. without their having the pain
and trouble of first dying, run through
the narrative.
THE TABLE OF CONTENTS
embraces the period between 1896 and
1908. starting, in the first-named year,
with revolutions and wars N Europe.
These wars eliminate in a grand con
fict between France and Germany,
which result in the utter defeat CT
Germany, and the annexation by France
of all the territory west Of tine Rhine.
Then follows. about 1898, the formation
Of a "ten-hingdOm confederacy,' under
ten separate but closely allied kings,
the countries thus pooling their issues
he re. "Br.t'ar separated from Ireland
and India. France, enlarged to the
Rhine. SDain. Italy, Austria. Sou.h OF
the Danube, Greece, Egypt Syria, Tur-
key and the Balkan States" Upon this
elaborate foundation "a Napoleon may
be eXpeced to arise, not l2,er than 1895
90" and this great ruler, on April i,
1901. IS 10 make "a seven years cove
nant" with many Jews" during the
continuance Of which there is to be o
renewal Of the ancient daily Jewisf
sacrifices in the temple at Jerusalem,and
The rebuilding of the Holy Ci,y ia gra st
magnifceuce. March y. 1903, there ls
to be a great item, "the resurrection Of
sain,s and ascension of $4,000 living
Christians, at Chria,'s advent into the
air" but rlere is a singular omission OF
where fhil interesting event is 10 take
place. The mex. big happening IS SCI
for April %. 1868, destruction Of anti
Chris. and the wicked at Chri5.s de-
scent on Mount Olive, a. the
ber.le CT Armagedi0n.' when about ono
half the human race perishe5, after
which gle millennium IS to commence.
This is a part OF
THE MODEST SCHEDULE
Of predictions ct which Rev. Baxter has
tried his hand, and he proceeds through
more than forty closely printed pages
briscling wiki itaIc and Biblical quo
tetions, 10 prove his ideas. He com
mances his case by stating that 1t Is
generally admitted by the s3leat stu
denis Of prophecy that we are living III
the rapids Of the stream OF Time, ana
are f3s- approaching the downfall c-
lae kingdoms of this world ana me
consequent Establishment of CHRIS
Millennial Kingdom. " what
ever differences Of opinion have eX.s ad
among expOsitors as to the more MIN
me de.ails of DrOjelic int. pre-al0n, IL
is remarkable that more than a nun
dred of them have fOresh0Wn in thel:
books (sCme c. Wlicl were written
mare nan a century ago) that the srea-
crisis accompanying the coming OF
Chr. T. and the commencement OF me
Millennium, would mos. probably
taka place at some point OF time about
or socn after. The closing decades of the
nineteenth century ana consequently
there nigh be expected abJu. that per-
iod. unparalleled changes, revolutions
and tribulaJions throughout ME Wno.e
eauh. In the Chronological Index in
Rev. John Browns Commentary, n
177S. and also in Rev. Mathew Henry S
Commentary, in 1909, the end Of this
age and .he beginning Of ,le Miil41-
MUM was computed TO be about The END
of this nineteenth century.
I'VE cannot hsip knowing seven

THE EXACT TINE
Of Christs personal descent upon this
earth at the end Of this age. because
according to more than three hundred
axpositors of Daniels prophecy OF sew
entv weeks. there is TO be covenant
confirmed for q term Of seven years be-
tween the Jews in Judea and Napol-
comic Prince that shall come exactly
seven years before the end Of this age,
Daniel tx. 24-27J And the seven
wears of this covenant must begin on
Passover day and end on a Passover
dav. because it commences Daniels
s7yentierh week Of seven years. which
is the continuation after the interval
of eighteen centuries OF the sixty-nine
weeks which ended on Passover day at
the crucifxion. when Messiah the
prince was cut or Passover week in
Anril 1901. is evidently the final ter
mination of Daniels long dates Of
