“THE TIME OF THE END” Although the Antichrist legally lost its persecuting power and sovereignty in 1799 A.D., it still exists as a system, and will not be destroyed finally till the full end of the “time of trouble such as never was,” spoken of by the prophet Daniel (12:1). This great time of trouble began in autumn of the year 1914 A.D., when the “times of the Gentiles” legally came to an end. Papacy is in itself one of…

The “1260 Days” The “1260 days” (years) is the period during which the true Church of God was in the “wilderness” condition. She fled thither on account of the persecutions inflicted upon her by the Apostate Church, named “Jezebel,” which was set up in power in 539 A.D. (See Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. II, page 256). The year 1799 A.D. was the end of these 1260 symbolical days of persecuting power, and the following year, 1800 A.D., was the…

The 2300 days was the first of the prophetic periods to be communicated to Daniel. He was greatly exercised concerning this vision (See Dan. 8:26, 27), and prayed to God, confessing his own and…

The “Seventy Weeks” The honor of becoming members in the great spiritual Seed of Abraham was the exclusive privilege of the people of Israel till the end of their “seventy weeks” of favor (See Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. II Chapter 3). It is interesting to note that the complete period of 4162 years of the world’s history from the time of Adam’s fall till the end of Israel’s 70 weeks, is equally divided into two grand periods of 2081…

THE JUBILEE An outstanding year in the history of the nation of Israel was that on which fell their last typical jubilee, 626 B.C. As pointed out in Section XXII (“Rest and Restitution” Part 23 and 24 in our study), God commanded the nation of Israel to observe every 50th year in a very special manner. The land was to be wrought for six years, allowed to rest on the seventh, and then after seven of these periods of seven,…
