(Ezekiel 4:6) Here
are mentioned, then, three and a half times of 360 prophetic days each,
or a total of 1260 prophetic days, equal to 1260 years. The Prophet then
was shown that the 1260 years would mark the beginning of the time of
the end of this beastly order. Twelve-hundred sixty years from A.D. 539
brings us to 1799--another proof that 1799 definitely marks the
beginning of "the time of the end". This also shows that it is from the
date 539 A.D. that the other prophetic days of Daniel must be counted.
[398]The most important thing to which all the prophecies point and for
which the apostles looked forward has been the second coming of the Lord.
It is described by the Prophet as a blessed time. Daniel then says:
"Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred
and five and thirty [1335] days". (Daniel 12:12) The watchers here,
without question, are those who were instructed by the Lord to watch for
his return. This date, therefore, when understood, would certainly fix
the time when the Lord is due at his second appearing. Applying the same
rule, then, of a day for a year, 1335 days after 539 A.D. brings us to
A.D. 1874, at which time, according to Biblical chronology, the Lord's
second presence is due. If this calculation is correct, from that time
forward we ought to be able to find some evidences marking the Lord's
presence.
