number of years that they remained In the land, and 50 years being a Jubilee they could not have observed more than 19 before being carried away captive to Babylon. 19 years after the observance of the 18th, or last Jubilee. If it is fact that there was to be TO and only 19 have been observed, then there are 51 more due, whether observed or not, and we know that the requisite number of years which was to constitute the 70 Ju- bilees must elapse before the great ante typical Millennium Jubilee should begin.
 We have shown that there were ob- served 19 full Jubilees of 50 years each making $50 years, and as there was to be 70, there would still be 51 more due. and as the Jews were not allowed to ob- serve the Both year any more being in captivity in Babylon, the Cycles would count 49 instead of 50 years. making 24I9 years. So by adding the 19 full Jubilees of 50 years each (950 years) and the 51 which are not full (on account of not being observed) being 49 years each, to- gether, we have the grand total of 3449 years, the exact number of years the Lord said wauld elapse before the 7Oth or millennium thousand year should be- gin, which was October 1874, Jewish time. This long period of time is divided as follows:

 I think it has been clearly shown by both the explanation of the gentle times" and. the Jewish Jubilees," that Christ, who is to be the ruler of the earth in the next world, or age, did make his second advent in 1874, A. D., and is now present preparing to take charge of His kingdom in 1914 A. D.
 Now let us consider another line of corroborative evidence, "rhe Paralel Dispensations,' and see what wonderful precision that they correspond to each other. Perhaps there may be some who do not know that the Jewish and gospel ages are exactly the same length, and all that was done in the close of the Jewish is now being repeated in the close of the gospel age. According to Jewish chronology the length of the Jewish age Was 1945 years, dating from the death ot Jacob, when God selected, or rather elected, the Jews from among all others to be a church nation, and His favor was given and remained with them for 1S45 years. when their Abuse became deso- late in rejecting thek King. Now let us go back to the old xrophets (Jeramiah 161S: Isah 61.7:) and see what the Lord said He would do to this stiff-neck peo- ple: q will recompense their sin double" What did He mean by that? A double is two things that are equal, and in this case it is two dispensations of equal length and importance, one of favor, the other of dsfavor. of equal length, 1915 years. We find that this pe- riod of favor began 1913 B. C., and the length being 1S45 years, ended when Christ was rejected, A. D. 32-1S13-1S45. And we see that the whole social system of the Jewish age was destroyed 37 years the ending of their period of favor. So We see it's parellel that B years after their period of disfavor has ended the whole gentle nations shall be destroyed, 1ST7x37-1914, as shown by direct testi- mony, the gentle times.''
 In Isiah 402: the Lord said that He would speak comfortably to Jerusalem when she had rendered double for her sins" and that when her appointed time was accomplished His favor would begin to return to her. It will be shown 1877 plus 37-1914, as shown by direct testi- gun to be shown to the Jewish race.
 Israels double" or 1S45 years of dis favor, began in A. D. 8, and necessarily ended A. D. 1878 We see that when Christ typcally cleansed the temple and weeping after Jerusalem said, Your house is left unto you desolate," it was the Jewish church system that was re- jected but His favor remained with the individual members for 97 years, till they as a nation were utterly destroyed-A. D. 70. And we have the correspondence in this age.
 Since the Jewish period of disfavor ended A. D. 1878 the Lord has withdrawn His favor from the gentle churches (nominal Christendom Babylon), with it's confusion of doctrines. The Lord speak ing through the prophets to His chil-
