Pope Gregory. Here is the proof: Dan iel [: 25, And he shall think to change the times" Pope Gregory did change the luna calendar to the Gregorian. So having seen all of these prophecies full filled you will readily see the correctness of our determination of the time of the end.'
 After punishing the children of Israel for their sins He told them that if they still refused to hearken unto Him that He would chastise them "seven times. We know for certainty that they did refuse to hearken unto the Lord, for in reading Luke 21: 24, we see that they were being punished when our Lord was on earth for He said: Jerusalem shall be troden down till the cseVenD times of the gentiles be fulfilled"
 Now 1t has been shown and anyone can
 idily see that 315 times is a period of 1c60 years, and "7 times would be twice as much, making 2520 years that the Lord said he would punish Israel; and by this we see that the gentle times is a period of 252O years, thus having the ultimate length, if we can show exactly what year these times began; then we would know exactly what year they would end. Now, secular history tells us that the first year of Cyrus was the year 536 BIB. C., and we find in 2nd Chron- icles 36; 21, that in the first year of Cy- rus that Jerusalem had then 1856 B. co been destroyed 70 years, which would make 606 B. c. the year when the gen tile time'' began, because we know that in that year Nebuchadnezza, who was a gentle king distroyed Jerusalem, and the crown of Zedekah, the last king of Israel, was forever removed by the Lord. These dates proven by religious as well as by profane history, being correct, then we have the beginning 606 B. C., and the length Gx36O) 2520 and the ending 1914 A. D.
 Now think 1t has been clearly shown that the fulfiillment of the gentle times,' the completion of the 252O years will be in 1914 A. D., in which all systems, religious and political, will pass away, and d new order of government will be ushered in by the establishment of Christ millennium kingdom, when the times of refreshing shall come from the fresence of the Lord when everything sks-4 be restored, which Peter speaks of in Ac@j 3: 1921.
 We will now consider another line of evidence which will be corroborative and conclusive, viz: 'The Jewish Jubilees." The year 1874 marks a very important era in the history of this age for several reasons. The first and most important one is that it was in this year that our Lord made his second advent and is now present preparing His work to begin His reign in righteousness The second is that 1t Is the beginning of the seventh thousand year of the world, which is the millennium thousand, in which Christ's kingdom is to be set up. The third is that this year ended the last or 10th Ju- bilee Cycle of 3449 years, which the chill dren of Israel began to observe on enter inc 10 nroYnicp land 1hTa hafpra Christ and which they continued to do for $50 years. Now, concerning these jubilees read the 18th and 26th chapters of Leviticus, and it will be seen how the Lord instructed his people in the calcula- tion of them. The Lord gave them spe- cial instructions to observe the Sabbath day, which was in some instances the seventh day. In determining the pente- cost day they multiplied the seventh day by 7-i9, the day following the 50th being the pentecost day, and the Jubilee years were obtained in the same manner, the 50th year being the Jubilee year; and these observances were but Shadow of things to come," and it is evident that the Lord intended this to represent the great Antetypical Jubilee-the millen- ium thousand year Sabbath. I feel sure that the Lord intended the same squaring method to be used in order to determine when the ante-typical Sabbath was to begin. Sc 50x50-2500, the number of years since the last Jubilee observance to the end of 1874. We see in the 26th chapter of Leviticus that the Lord said that there should be seventy of these Jubileees, and according to Jewish chronology there was was period of 969 years from the enter ing the land till the last Jubilee was ob- served, which is divided as follows:
 From entering the land till it's di- "lSlon ....... ............ ...... ...... Period of judges.... ...... ...... ....... 450 Period or klngs... 5lo
 Now you readily see that this being the
