 horn rising in the midst of
the other ten.  I have no time to discuss arguments, and can merely state
conclusions.  All, therefore, that I can do now is to express my own
convictions on two points:

1.  That the little horn diverse from all the rest is the Papal power.

2.  That the time, times, and dividing of a time, which is to be the
limit of its power, stands in prophetic figure for 1260 years.

If this be correct it gives some idea as to the duration of the second
division of the last kingdom, for it shows that it must last at least
1260 years.  Still more, as the Papacy is to be destroyed at the approach
of the Ancient of Days, if we could only ascertain the date of its
commencement we might calculate the date of the Advent.  But here is the
difficulty, for who can say when a horn begins to grow? and who can
determine the date of the first swelling of Papal pride?  It is
impossible to make any such calculation, and I believe it would be wrong
to attempt it.  But we may still be led by the great outline to hope for
the approach of that most blessed day.  The horn has been growing a long
time, and it is impossible to read European history without believing
that the 1260 years cannot be very far from its close.  Everything
therefore looks like an approaching end.  We have long since reached the
fourth kingdom; long since reached its second, or divided period; and,
though we cannot say when it took place, we have long since seen the
commencement of the 1260 years of the little horn.  Surely then it is
high time that we be looking out for the coming of the Lord, high time
that we be watching with our loins girt and our lamps burning, and we
ourselves as those that wait for their Lord.

With these facts before us, I may fairly ask any thinking person, whether
there is not good ground for the hope that the coming of the Lord draweth
nigh?  You observe I have not dwelt on minute and isolated points.  I
have taken the great outline of the world’s history, and compared it with
the great outline of the word of prophecy.  I see that the two exactly
horn rising in the midst of 
 the other ten.   I have no meter to discourse arguments, and can merely state 
 conclusions.   All, consequently, that I can do now is to express my own 
 convictions on two decimal point: 

 1.   That the little horn divers from all the remainder is the Papal power. 

 2.   That the prison term, times, and dividing of a time, which is to be the 
 terminus ad quem of its power, stands in prophetic figure for 1260 years. 

 If this be correct it gives some mind as to the duration of the second 
 division of the last kingdom, for it shows that it must survive at least 
 1260 years.   Still more, as the Papacy is to be destroy at the approach 
 of the Ancient of day, if we could only ascertain the date of its 
 commencement we might calculate the date of the Advent.   But here is the 
 difficulty, for who can allege when a horn begins to grow? and who can 
 determine the date of the first bulge of Papal pride?   It is 
 impossible to make any such calculation, and I believe it would be wrong 
 to attempt it.   But we may still be led by the great outline to hope for 
 the approach of that most blessed sidereal day.   The cornet has been growing a farseeing 
 meter, and it is impossible to read European history without believing 
 that the 1260 years cannot be very far from its finale.   Everything 
 therefore looks like an approaching end.   We have long since reach the 
 fourth kingdom; long since reached its second, or divided period; and, 
 though we cannot say when it took place, we have long since seen the 
 beginning of the 1260 years of the little horn.   Surely then it is 
 high meter that we be looking out for the approach of the Lord, high time 
 that we be watching with our loins girt and our lamps burn, and we 
 ourselves as those that wait for their Lord. 

 With these facts before us, I may fairly necessitate any thinking person, whether 
 there is not estimable ground for the hope that the orgasm of the Lord draweth 
 nigh?   You observe I have not populate on minute and detached points.   I 
 have take the great outline of the world ’s history, and compared it with 
 the big outline of the word of prophecy.   I see that the two precisely

2.  Ehat thr hime, times, and divpdyng kf a time, which is to be the
