Remarks on the Interpretations of the Vision of the Four

Beasts given by former Commentators.

I. Mr. Faber considers the period of the prolongation of the

lives of the three first Beasts to be during the pe-

riod of the Millennium. p. 217.

1. This interpretation connected with his rejection of the

principle of territorial representation in interpret-

ing the symbols of the Four Beasts. p. 219.

2. Mr. Faber's interpretation inadmissible. p. 220.

3. Inconsistent also with the descriptions elsewhere given

of the state of the world during the period of the

Millennium. p. 221.

4. Proof that the prolongation of the lives of the three first
Beasts is before the destruction of the fourth Beast'

and not during the Millennium. p. 222.

5. The interpretation given in this work, of the prolonga-

tion of the lives of the three first Beasts, to be

found also in the work of Sir Isaac Newton. p 223.

II. All former Commentators have confined the reign of

Christ, during the latter days, to the single period

of the Millennium, instead of giving to it to three

periods, consisting severally of 30, 45, and 1000

years. p. 223.

1. Consequently passages in Daniel, that refer to these

distinct periods, are by Mede and Bishop Newton

considered as referring to one and the same period.

p. 224.

2. Mr. Faber embarrassed in his interpretation of these

passages owing to the same circumstance. p. 225.

3. The unbiassed evidence of an old Commentator ad-

duced to prove that the reign of Christ begins with

the period of the Seventh Trumpet, i. e., in the

year 1792. p. 228.

4. Mr. Faber does not divide the history of the Papacy

into two distinct periods, as the prophecy seems to

require. p. 229.

5. Defect in Mr. Faber's system pointed out, as it regarde

his application of the numbers of Daniel. p. 230.

III. Passage of Zechariah quoted, that refers particularly to

the period of the 45 years of Daniel. p. 231.
