Daniel “understood by books” (Jeremiah’s prophecy) the length of the great
captivity of the children of Israel. (Dan. 9:2.) At Christ’s First Advent
there was but one time‐prophecy calling attention to that event (Dan.
9:24‐27), yet all the people “were in expectation” of it (Luke 3:15.) In
the year 1190 the good monk Joachim declared that the Papal system was
Antichrist, that the history of mankind is divided into three ages, and
that in the year 1260 the Papacy would give way to a new system in which
the whole world would be “one vast monastery.” “In 1260 the Council of
Arles pronounced all followers of Joachim heretics.” His application of
the correct principle, “a year for a day,” made in the very depths of the
Dark Ages, is one of the most pathetic incidents in the history of
mankind; but his study of time‐prophecy brought him peace and joy of
heart. He was an opponent of the prevailing “doctrine of the Trinity.”
William Miller, in the year 1829, was privileged to see (approximately)
the correct date for the setting up of the abomination of desolation (539
A. D.), and for the beginning of the Time of the End (1799 A. D.) Morton
Edgar, author of _Pyramid Passages_, has found foreshown in the Great
Pyramid of Egypt abundant evidence of the accuracy of the Bible chronology
of Pastor Russell and the supplements thereto supplied by Dr. John Edgar,
deceased. These findings are set forth in his work, _Pyramid Passages_,
Vol. II, of which we recommend sections numbered in the following table.
For convenience we give the citations to Pastor Russell’s works in which
the same items are discussed. The Pyramid is still there, and the
measurements can be made by anybody. Pastor Russell’s chronology was
written before he ever saw the Pyramid.
