"These predictions so
limited, therefore, were fulfilled to the very letter : and
the facts of the case make it utterly impossible they can be
fulfilled again."

TEACHES THAT "THE PROPHECIES
OF THE APOCALYPSE"
-- AND EVERYWHERE ELSE IN THE BIBLE -- HAVE "ALREADY BEEN
FULFILLED"
"BEGINNING OF SORROWS"
OF PERSECUTION TERMINATED WITH ROME'S CONVERSION & DOMITIAN IS THE "WILLFUL KING OF DANIEL"
"We are told that a Stone,
cut out of the mountain without hands, so struck the Image
(of Nebuchadnezzar) on its feet which were of iron and miry
clay, that the image was broken in pieces, and so utterly
carried away, that not a particle of it remained : that
then, the stone grew into a great mountain and filled the
whole earth. But is was the feet of the image
which the stone so struck and broke. Taking then the
head of the image to symbolize Babylon, the feet must of
necessity symbolize heathen Rome in its last times.
[B]oth the legs and feet together represent this fourth
Empire : the feet its latter period."

"We are next told that, then should the
People of the Prince who should come, destroy both the city
and the sanctuary. I now know therefore, that, some
time after the cutting off of the Messiah, Jerusalem should
fall. But I know when this took place : and,
therefore, that it happened within Daniel's seventieth week,
as I also do, that this event cannot take place again" (iii)
"As we know of but one great promise
made to the Fathers, which the coming of Christ was intended
to fulfil, it should follow that, -- as the Bible is
necessarily consistent with itself, -- event ministration of
the Patriarchs, Prophets, and Apostles, would in one way or
other be subservient to its fulfillment : and this again,
would have the effect of exhibiting in the Scriptures one
plain, consistent and invariable system : and,
accordingly, that how numerous and various soever the modes
of expression adopted might be, all would in the main
conspire to put forth, declare, and illustrate, the
particulars of this one great events. (xiv.)
"According to (I Peter 1:12), the Prophet
ministered to nothing beyond Apostolical Christianity.
They do not seem -- i.e. as explained to us by the
Apostles -- to have had any idea whatever of a future
restoration of Jews, Christian Millennium, new Dispensation,
personal reign of Christ on earth, or of any think of
the kind." (xv)
