William Miller's 1843 "Time Proved Fifteen Different Ways" - Proof #14

 
Content
  Outline

FOURTEEN:

It is proved by Rev. 13:5:

"And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months."

This time began at the same time as the preceding, when power was given to the Pope by Justinian, A.D. 538, and lasted until the Pope was carried into captivity, and his power abolished, in the year 1798.

See 10th verse:

"He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword, must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints."

This beast is the same as the little horn in Daniel 7th, and synchronizes with Daniel’s “abomination that maketh desolate,” or “that astonisheth,” (See marginal reading.)

Compare Daniel 11:31, and 12:11, with Rev. 13:3-8; and of course his power is abolished with the end of his “setting up,” and the 1290 years.

Then Daniel 12:12

"Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days,"

— carries us to the year 1843.
