Forty days after Christ’s resurrection His ascension occurred. This confirms the hope of the Church’s glorification forty years (a year for a day) after the awakening of the sleeping saints in the Spring of 1878. The seven days before the Deluge may represent seven years, from 1914 to 1921, in the midst of which “week of years” the last members of the Messiah pass beyond the veil. The Great Company class shall be cut off at its end—the fact that we see the first half of this week so distinctly marked would lead us to expect three and one‐half years more of witnessing by the Great Company class; for it seems to be the Heavenly Father’s way to accomplish His work by weeks and half weeks, from the very beginning of creation until now. The covenant with Abraham, 2045 B. C., was half way (2081 years each way) between the fall of Adam, 4127 B. C., and the conversion of Cornelius, A. D. 36. The last observance of a typical jubilee by Israel, 626 B. C., was half way (2500 years each way) from the end of Adam’s Day, 3127 B. C., and the beginning of the Times of Restitution, A. D. 1874. The captivity, 606 B. C., marks the beginning of the Times of the Gentiles, half way (2520 years each way) between the end of Adam’s 1000‐year day, 3127 B. C., and the end of Gentile Times, A. D. 1914. The captivity, 606 B. C., marks a point half way (3520 years each way) between the fall of man, 4127 B. C., and his full restoration to Divine favor, A. D. 2914. Christ’s death, A. D. 33, marks a point half way (1845 years each way) between the death of Jacob, 1813 B. C., and the restoration of favor to Israel in 1878 A. D. The death of Christ, A. D. 33, was half way (three and one‐half years each way) between His baptism, A. D. 29, and the conversion of Cornelius, A. D. 36. [Chronological Chart of Revelation] The awakening of the sleeping saints, A. D. 1878, was just half way (three and one‐half years each way) between the beginning of the Times of Restitution in 1874 and the close of the High Calling in 1881. Our proposition is that the glorification of the little Flock in the Spring of 1918 A. D. will be half way (three and one‐half years each way) between the close of the Gentile Times and the close of the Heavenly Way, A. D. 1921. The three days’ (three years—1918‐1921) fruitless search for Elijah (2 Kings 2:17‐18) is a confirmation of this view. We shall wait to see; but we shall not be indifferent while we wait, lest peradventure another, more zealous, take the crown we have. The time is not long: but if we have to go on for fifty years, why should we care? We are the Lord’s. Let Him do as He will with His own.
