onians under the chief prince of Meshech. Successful passage of the
Pison. The whole land of Havilah occupied. The men of Togarmah rally at
Gihon. Fierce fighting in Eden. The invaders defeated in the mountains
of Ararat. For according to ancient names of people and country, such
was the fact. It is comforting to all God's people to know from His Word
that there is a time of peace; that there is a golden age in the near
future. Dr. McKay has the Christian idea in his poem:

"There is a good time coming, boys,
Wait a little longer;
Let us aid it all we can,
Every woman, every man,
The good time coming."

When will the 1,335 days of years, spoken of in the text, end? We
answer, About the year 1957. And why that year? Because these days
evidently date there, beginning from the time the daily sacrifice is
taken away and the city trodden under foot. The little goat horn of
Daniel viii. 9 stands, we have before shown you, for Turkey. "And out of
one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great toward
the South, and toward the East, and toward the pleasant land." It stands
for Mahommedanism, which was to overturn Christianity for a given period,
a time, times, and a half time, or in figures, 1260. Now Mahommed was
accepted and crowned at Mecca in the year 622. If we add 1260 and 622,
we have 1882--a time that is very plainly pointed out in the Pyramid.
Daniel says, "Seventy weeks are determined upon Thy people and upon Thy
holy city," Jerusalem. These weeks put into prophetic years make 490,
which, of course, brings us to the time when Jerusalem was destroyed by
Titus. Daniel asked how long the vision concerning the daily sacrifice
and transgression of desolation to give the sanctuary and people to be
trodden down? The answer was, Unto 2,300 days, taking a day for a year.
Jerusalem was destroyed in the year 70. Take this from 490 and we have
420. Now these 420 years taken from 2,300 will bring 1880. Then the
sanctuary is to be cleansed--that is, Jerusalem will be in the possession
of England. She now is.

From about 1880, or 1882, England will possess Jerusalem. In the twelfth
chapter of Daniel, eleventh verse, we find thirty days added to the
1,200, making 1,290; these added thirty years denote the time England
will have to contend for her right to Palestine. It will finally be
acknowledged, however, by all nations. In 1935 the battle of Armageddon
will end, b
