Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dissertation on the Prophecies, That Have Been Fulfilled, Are Now Fulfilling, or Will Hereafter Be Fulfilled, Relative to the Great Period of 1260 Years, Vol. 1 of 2: The Papal and Mohammedan Apostacies; The Tyrannical Reign of Antichrist, or the Infidel Power; And the Restoration of the Jews; To Which Is Added an Appendix Vol]. 9 degree of difl'erence and, while lassent in the general to Mr. Whitaker's opinion on these points, I feel myself compelled to protest against his idea, that any of the numbers of Daniel and St. John may be considered as round numbers. The perfect accuracy, with which some of them have been already filled up, affords the best war rant for believing that the rest will likewise be filled up with equal accuracy. Indeed the very notion of a round number is irreconcileable with that of a dqfnite and spe sifie number. Hence I think, that Mr. Whitaker's at tempt to harmonize the number mentioned in the eighth chapter of Daniel, with the date which he rightly assigns to the 1960 ears, by adopting the reading of the Seven ty, entirely lyails of success, because the calculation pro duces 9404 years, instead of 2400 years, which it ought to have produced had it been founded upon just princi ples even were the reading of the Seventy the genuine reading.' A similar train of ideas had once led me to adopt this very hypothesis of Mr. Whitaker; but the same reason, which forced me to erase it from my own work, forces me also to reject it in his. On the same grounds, his opinion, that the holy city mentioned in the eleventh chapter of the Revelation is the literal city of Jerusalem, will be found equally untenable, even inde pendent of other objections to which it is liable. The taking of Jerusalem by the Persians in the year 1614, can never be made to synchronize with the delivering of the saints into the hand of the Papal little horn in the year 606 nor is it to me at least at all satisfactory to be told, that the nearest round number, which will include the whole time intervening from the year 614 to the year 1866, will be Since the saints are to be given into the hand of the little horn during the precise period of 1260 years, and since the holy city is to be trodden under foot by the Gentiles during the self-same period of 4-2 prophetic months the reign of the little horn and the treading of the holy city under foot must be exactly commensurate. Consequently, if the saints were first given into the hand of the little horn in the year 606. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
