stars of heaven, and will give unto thy

seed all these countries; and in thy seed

shall all the nations of the earth be

blessed. Genesis 26:4

•And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the

prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have

not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.

•They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil

way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the

land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your

fathers for ever and ever. Jeremiah 25:4-5

Because ye have not heard my words, Behold, I will send

and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD,

and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my

servant, and will bring them against this land, and

against the inhabitants thereof, and against all

these nations round about, and will utterly destroy

them, and make them an astonishment, and an

hissing, and perpetual desolations. Jeremiah 25:8-9

•And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an

astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of

Babylon seventy years. Jeremiah 25:11

down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the

palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all

the goodly vessels thereof. carried he away to

Really Only One Prophecy

•Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. Daniel 9:24-25

Seventy Week Prophecy

457 BC

•And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the

priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters,

and the Nethinims, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of

Artaxerxes the king. Ezra 7:7

457 BC

John Gill: Baptist Scholar• “...this space of "seventy" weeks is not to be understood of weeks of

days; which is too short a time for the fulfilment of so many events as

are mentioned; nor were they fulfilled within such a space of time;

but of weeks of years, and make up four hundred and ninety

years; within which time, beginning from a date after mentioned, all

the things prophesied of were accomplished; and this way of

reckoning of years by days is not unusual in the sacred writings.”

•Daniel 7:25: He shall think to change times and laws

•“The Pope has power to change times, to abrogate laws, and

to dispense with all things, even the precepts of Christ.”

Decretal, de Tranlatic Episcop.

•The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because

they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance,

broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse

devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate:

therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men

left. Isa.24:5-6

•"The Catholic Church for over one thousand years before the

existence of a Protestant, by virtue of her divine mission,

changed the day from Saturday to Sunday."--The Catholic

Mirror, Sept. 23, 1893.

•The Catholic Universe Bulletin, August 14, 1942, page 4.

"The Church changed the observance of the Sabbath to

Sunday by right of the divine, infallible authority given to her by

her founder, Jesus Christ. The Protestant claiming the Bible to

be the only guide of faith, has no warrant for observing

Sunday."

•"The Bible says, Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day.

The Catholic church says, No! By my divine power I abolish the

Sabbath day, and command you to keep the first day of the week.

And lo, the entire civilized world bows down in reverent obedience to

the command of the holy Catholic church!" Father Enright, C.S.S.R.

of the Redemptoral College, Kansas City, Mo., History of the

Sabbath, p. 802

• "The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and

earth." Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Chapter XXVII, p. 218, "Cities

Petrus Bertanous".

• "The Pope takes the place of Jesus Christ on earth...by divine right the

Pope has supreme and full power in faith, in morals over each and

every pastor and his flock. He is the true vicar, the head of the entire

church, the father and teacher of all Christians. He is the infallible ruler,

the founder of dogmas, the author of and the judge of councils; the

universal ruler of truth, the arbiter of the world, the supreme judge of

heaven and earth, the judge of all, being judged by no one, God himself

on earth." Quoted in the New York Catechism.

Westminister’s Confession of Faith (Presbyterian)

VI. There is no other head of the Church but the Lord

Jesus Christ. Nor can the Pope of Rome, in any sense, be

head thereof, but is that Antichrist, that man of sin, and

son of perdition, that exalts himself, in the Church,

against Christ and all that is called God.

Dr. Henry Grattan Guinness

“The seventy weeks of Daniel, or 490 days to the Messiah,

were fulfilled as 490 years; that is, they were fulfilled on the

year-day scale. On this scale the forty-two months, or 1,260

days, are 1,260 years. We ask then, Has the Papacy endured

this period? An examination of the facts of history will show

that it has.”..:

Adam Clarke: Methodist

• In prophetic language a time signifies a year; and a prophetic

year has a year for each day. Three years and a half (a day

standing for a year) will amount to one thousand two hundred

and sixty years, If we knew precisely when the papal power

began to exert itself in the antichristian way, then we could at

once fix the time of its destruction. The end is probably not very

distant; it has already been grievously shaken by the French. In

1798 the French republican army under General Berthier took

possession of the city of Rome, and entirely superseded the

whole papal power.

•Adam Clarke’s Commentary on Daniel 7:25

538-1798= 1260 Years• David Simpson (1745-1799) theologian and religious writer,

educated at St. Johns College, Cambridge, a Methodist,

wrote: "Is it not extremely remarkable, and a powerful

confirmation of the truth of Scripture prophecy, that

just 1260 years ago from the present 1798, in the very

beginning of the year 538, Belisarius put an end to the empire of

the Goths at Rome, leaving no power therein but the Bishop of

that Metropolis? Read these things in the prophetic Scriptures;

compare them coolly with the present state of Europe, and then,

I say again,deny the truth of Divine Revelation, if you can.Open

your eyes, and behold these things accomplishing in the face of

the whole world. This thing is not done in a corner."

• "Perhaps the boldest thing, the most revolutionary change the

Church ever did, happened in the first century. The holy day, the

Sabbath, was changed from Saturday to Sunday. 'The Day of

the Lord' [dies domini] was chosen, not from any direction

noted in the Scriptures, but from the Church's sense of its

own power..... People who think that the Scriptures should

be the sole authority, should logically become [Seventh-Day]

Adventists, and keep Saturday holy."

woman. Jeremiah 6:2
