DSAR BRO. WHl'rB :-As I have been informed
th~t tne inq uiry has arison, why t h,IV' romained so
long silent; I wonld just say that I have been nece.&arily employed in mn.nual labor, providing for my
family; alId have had but little tim3 either to read
Or write, and worl!. with excessive toil I hOove felt but
little disllosition or spirit of writing, and hence, am
poorly pI'ep~red to write a.ny thing that would be of
fiorvice to the church. But what little sympathy
and zcal I have had in exe,·cis. fvr tho C~tlse of truth.

tho hen.t alld burdeu of the day, in advancing ti,e
truths it ad VOCl\t.s.
As you recently requestetI me to write Otlt for the
RevietO, some of the prominent leading points of my
long unlJ:ntured article, suoh ... the evidenc~d on the
beglllning and ending of the se~en prophetic times. or
252~ years of' Lev. xlCvi, &0.; nlld as I h",ve not time
lit prosent to mature the subject, I send you a Jlortion of the broken, unmatured ideas as they arc. )'
do lIot ask that they now go Otlt as adopted Or sanctioned by the Review, but merely ror the elCamina,
~Ioll ~nd inspection of the hrethren; and if tbe subJect by thelll bejudgeq to be of service to the church
.lnd ,,·o/·thy of furth 'r investigation, then it mOoY heroAfter be revised, improved, Iln:l c~rried out in its furthel' bea.rlng nnd extent.
But befol'e enter-iog Up'JO the SU1)j:!ct, permit me to

or thing .• of oU whicll are made ex,llDples, are de~ign~d to aid U~ in undl3rstanJing pl'ophecies which
are to be fulf1lJc:l in like manner in .fter ages; and
hence it is not unfrequently the case that a prediction fulfilled in days of old, design cd ~serve as an
example, is recoflled ill connection with a propheey
to be fulti.lled ill like manner in aLter D.j!;es. See Jeremiah xxv, where t.he prophet a.fter pl'edicting the
o~erthrow of ancient IhuylQn, then glides almost imp3rc3ptibly d,)Ivn the .treatO or tim. to where ho be11D1'h and ftJl'etulls the du,vnf,dl llond destruction of
My~tery Blbylon the great.
Wltbout observing
this f:wt and the abuve rule, some in reading these
chaptel'3 amI other lik~ predictiolls, might confound
the do,vllf,,11 and dootrnctioo of ancient and modern
Babylon together, and conclLlde th.t all applied to
~neient B"byl~n.
But hy the aid of the above rulo
we l!l"y distingllish between the former examples and
its likeness fulfilled in after times.
I t is pre dicted that Go~ would set his haud llogain
the second ti me to recover the remnant of his people,
&c. In conncction with this reoovery, is predicted a
glorious triumph and prosperity of ~he church. The

wild.Jrnes" !Lnd the solitary plnce to bo made glad to ..
them, and the desert to rejoice and blossom as the
ro,., and in the wilderness wntcrs were to break ou~
'Ind "treams in the.dcsort: the parched gl'ound to become a pool, and thirs~y land springs of water, and
her wild"",,,,ss to become like :E.1en, !lnu her dese,·t
like the garden of the Lord; onu she is coiled upon
to arise and shine fat' her light is coma, nnd.e glory
of the L)rd is risell upon Iler, and Gentiles were
to come to her light, and kings to tho brightness of
her rising. This predicted triumph and prosperity
of the Chtll'ch is a sort of preltlde prep •. ra.tory to entering the im:nortu.l st:J..te; hence it ma.y be seen in
[so. 1)(, th~t thc prop;let glid~s almost imperceptibly
from this st3~0 of triumph and prosperity of tho church
in~o the re,;titution 01' immortal state. Some in reading this chapter o.n,1 other like prediction" confonnrl
thi, state of triamph and Jlrespority of the Chnrch
with the im,nortal st.te, and hence look for a glorious probationary Ooge to come after the second advent
of Christ. '1'he above rule Oond considel'ations arc
