Excerpt from A General and Connected View of the Prophecies Some have supposed, that the. 1260 years are already expired, and that their expiration took place about the commencement of the French revolution. As yet I have: seen no sufficient reasons to induce me to assent to this opinion. According to the most natural interpretation of Dan. Xl1. 6, 7, the interpretation adopted by Mr. Mede and other eminent expositors, the interpretation which best harmonizes with parallel prophecies, the Jews will. Begin to be restored so soon as the three times and a half shall have expired. But the Jews have not begun to be restored. Therefore we scarcely seem warranted in sup posing that the three times and a half have expired. How-v ever this may be, I have little doubt that the wonderful shaking of nations during these last eighteen years is preparatory to the return and conversion of God's cho sen people, and to the final overthrow of his congregated enem1es.
