A dissertation on the true age of the world : $b in which is determined the chronology of the period from creation to the Christian era
Wallace, R. (Robert)
Bible; Chronology; Chronology, Historical
1. Mr. Cuninghame’s discovery of the mystical signification of
the seventy years’ captivity—Its connection with the era of
the French Revolution—Confirmed by the sentiments of the
modern Jews—Prediction of Rabbi Joseph Crool—Prediction in
the Hebrew Tract “Explanation of the Times,” published in
1794—The latter prediction not fulfilled—Hope concerning
Israel 111
2. Mr. Cuninghame’s discovery of seven streams of time, of
seventy jubilees each, in the true system of chronology—This
test wholly inapplicable to any other system—His discovery
of five streams of time of different Jubilean
periods—Utility of his “Fulness of the Times” where these
discoveries are developed—Notice of his more recent works 113
3. Various cycles which enter into the true system of
chronology—Mr. Cuninghame’s discovery of the _trinal
fraction_—Its explanation and application by an Algebraic
formula—Original form in which it was discovered—Its
superiority to the formulæ of the _figurate
numbers_—Remarkable instance of its application to
Scriptural and other numbers, and to lunar and solar
cyclical numbers—Mr. Cuninghame’s definition of the trinal
fraction the most correct—The series deduced from its
formula possesses curious properties 115
4. Application of the theory of the trinal fraction to the
discovery of the meaning of the _Number of the Beast_ in the
Revelation of John—Proof that the number 666 is the number
of a Man—Its indication of _spiritual_ and _secular_
dominion—of tyranny and persecution—Recent efforts to raise
the Beast again to power—A warning to Protestants 119
CHAPTER VI.—DEMONSTRATIONS OF THE SEPTUAGINT CHRONOLOGY.
1. Mr. Cuninghame’s application of the lunisolar cycles and
septennary periods to the settlement of chronological
questions—The Septuagint proved to be the _exact truth_ by a
complex harmony of scientific time—His “Synopsis of
Chronology” recommended 122
2. Evidence in favour of the Septuagint and Hebrew
Chronologies compared and tested by Mr. Cuninghame—His
detection of the scheme of fraud invented by the Jewish
Rabbis for shortening the chronology of the Scriptures—His
exposition of this scheme in _three distinct acts_, and the
result of the whole 123
3. Recommendation of Mr. Cuninghame’s “Septuagint and Hebrew
Chronologies Tried”—His description and table of the great
periods of 1838—His table of both Chronologies—His appeal to
the disciples of Usher—His view of their chronological
difficulties and paradoxes—His call to them to produce their
evidence in favour of their system 126
