BIBLICAL WAR PROPHECY
A Curious Prediction Made by a
Reader of the Future In 1902.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t has been a source of wonderment
to me that no one, during the progress of
the war, has, either in the press or In the
pulpit undertaken to associate It with a
working out Of Biblical prophecy
Thirteen years ago I clipped from copy
Of "The British Weekly" three column ad-
vertisement which seemed to be interesting
and curious. | filed it away with the caption
"A Curious Prophecy" and did not discover
it again until some time this year. II was
entitled Twenty Coming Events, from 1905
to 1929" and summarized a series of hap
penings which it predicted would occur De-
tween these years. | quote from the adver-
tisement:
"We cannot help knowing seven years be-
forehand the exact time Of Christ's personal
descent upon this earth at the End of this
Age, because, according to more than two
hundred expositors Of the prophecy of the
Seventy Weeks in Daniels 9th and 1lth
chapters, prince that shall come who will
be King of the North G. e., Syria, shall
confirm a covenant with many of the Jews
for one week of seven years. exactly seven
years before the End OF Age. And the seven
years of this Covenant must begin with a
Passover Week and end with Passover
Week, because they are Daniels Seventeen
Week of years, which is the continuation
(after more than eighteen centuries) of the
Sixty-nine Weeks of years (4s3 years,
which ended in Passover Week at the Cru
cfxion of Christ.
"The Twenty Coming Events are: Firstly,
The Change Of Twenty-three Kingdoms or
States into Ten between 1e06-'07 and 1917
..Is Al. :. -.
Roman or Latin Empire, by Revolutions OF
Wars or Diplomatic Negotiations. The Ten
Kingdoms will then be Monarchies reigned
over by Ten Kings, prefigured by the Ten
Horned Widbeast and the Ten-Toed Image
of man in Daniel 7th and End chapters, and
they will mainly be: CD France, enlarged to
the Rhine 70 include all territories west
of the Rhine-viz., Alsace-Lorraine. Belgium
Luxembourg, Switzerland also Tunis, ani
whatever of Baden, Wdrtemberg and Bavaria
is not added to Austria. apparently all this
can only come to pass by France defeating
Germany (2) Britain, dsunited (at least to
the extent of giving them Parliaments OF
their own. but still, perhaps, maintaining a
suzerainty or protectorate over some OF
them) from Ireland and India and It's other
colonies, which never formed part OF Cessr's
Roman Empire. (3) Spain. with Portugal and
Northern Morocco. (s) Italy. probably with
1ripoli. 90 Austria, losing its provinces
north OF the Danube-viz., Bohemia, Moravis,
Galicia (outside Cessr's Roman Empirel-
tut gaining perhaps part OF Servia. (6)
Greece, with Thessaly, Epirus. Macedonia and
Albania. Cd Turkey. reduced in size 70 an
cient Thrace. with Bithynia. (s) Syria, sep
arated from Turkey. (9) Egypt. (10) Balkan
States united-yiz., Bulgaria and Rumania
and Montenegro, and part of Hungary and
Servia. Thus there will be Five Western and
Five Eastern Kingdoms, as prefgured by five
toes on each foot Of Daniels Prophetic Image
in Daniel ii, 35. Spain lost Cuba in 1898 be-
cause IL was outside Cesar's Roman Empire.

Kingdoms of France, Britain. Italy. Austria.

are outside the territories Of Cesar's original
Latin or Roman Empire, will take place be-
tween ten and twelve years before the End
Of this Age, and probably about l917-1s. The
extraordinary phenomenon and apparition
will then be beheld Of the Ten Allied Kings
