16. And it has (through popery) "practised," -- practised<br />

its deceptions upon the people, and its schemes of cunning<br />

among the nations, to gain its own ends, and aggrandize its<br />

power. p. 162, Para. 2, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

17. And it has "prospered." It has made war with the<br />

saints, and worn them out, and prevailed against them. p.<br />

162, Para. 3, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

18. It has run its allotted career, and is to be "broken<br />

without hand." Verse 25. How clear a reference is this expression<br />

to the stone cut out without hand which is to<br />

smite the image upon its feet and dash it to pieces. So the<br />

papacy is soon to perish in the consuming glories of the<br />

second coming of our Lord. p. 162, Para. 4, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

Thus Rome fulfils all the specifications of the prophecy.<br />

No other kingdom meets even one. Rome is the power in question.<br />

No other can be. p. 162, Para. 5, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

In view of all these facts, if any one still affirms that<br />

Antiochus was the little horn, or if he even hesitates to<br />

admit its application to Rome, all one can do for such a<br />

person is to take him by the hand, and exclaim, with the<br />

deepest commiseration for his unfortunate condition, "Non<br />

compos mentis. Farewell." p. 162, Para. 6, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

The bearing of the point here made upon the conclusion of<br />

the prophecy, will soon appear. p. 162, Para. 7, [LOOK-<br />

<strong>IN</strong>G].<br />

Chapter 19 -- THE YEAR-DAY PR<strong>IN</strong>CIPLE p. 162, Para. 8,<br />

[<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

<strong>IN</strong> the exposition of the symbols thus far given, the field<br />

of vision is laid out clearly before us. The first symbol,<br />

Persia, covers a period of two hundred and seventy years;<br />

the third, which we have seen to be Rome in both its<br />

phases, pagan and papal, from B.C. 162 to its division into<br />

ten parts previous to 483 A.D., continued six hundred and<br />

forty-four years; and if we come down to the close of papal<br />

supremacy in 1798, we have the long period of nineteen hundred<br />

and fifty-nine years; and if we come still forward to<br />

our own time, for this power is not yet broken without<br />

hand, we have the surprising period of nearly twenty-one<br />

hundred years covered by this symbol. p. 163, Para. 1,
