But there is reason to believe, that the greatest part of the ten tribes still subsists in the places where Salmanasar carried them. Search accordingly has been made for them in those countries, and apparently not without success. p. 86.-15. Reasons for thinking, that the restoration of Judah will occupy a period of 30 years, and the subsequent restoration of Israel, an additional period of 45 years. p. 91.-16. At the end of this last period, the houses of Judah and Israel will coalesce into one kingdom; the children of Jacob according to the flesh will be made instrumental in converting the pagan nations to Christianity; and the blessedness of the Millennium will commence. p. 94.-17. It may be ascertained from prophecy, that the great maritime nation, which is to act so conspicuous apart in the restoration of Judah, will be that state of protes tant Europe which shall possess a decided naval superiority at the time when the 1260 years shall expire. p. 97.-(1.) This is all the positive knowledge, which we can attain to: nevertheless it is worthy of observation, that, as we draw near to the time of the end, we behold a nation which exactly answers to the character of the infidel king, another which no less exactly answers to that of the mighty king of the North, and a third which has arrived by rapid strides at the most complete naval superiority that was ever possessed by any people. As yet we behold no kingdom, which, consistently with the general tenor of prophecy, may be considered as the king of the South. p. 101. -(2.) England may possibly be the great maritime power in question, but we have no authority for positively saying that it will. p. 108.-III. Remarks on the mode of exposition proposed to be adopted. p. 109.-1. Unchronological prophecies are framed in such a manner, as to have a double meaning, primary and ultimate. ibid.-2. The phraseology of prophecy is greatly affected by this circumstance. p. 114.
