Thus we find that the number 666, as above, was used by the apostle, and also a pointed reference to future things by the words, a time, times, and half a time. The same is applied by the prophet Daniel to signify a state of things to come. Ezekiel was directed to represent the iniquity of the house of Israel by the number THREE HUNDRED and NINETY; and the iniquity of the house of Judah by the number FORTY. A similar state of things, I say, we find signified in the scriptures where-ever the same number occurs; viz. to rain FORTY days and FORTY nightsif there shall be FORTY found-Moses was FORTY years in Egypt, FORTY years he fled from the face of Pharoah, FORTY years he led the Hebrews in the wilderness -was in the mount FORTY days and FORTY nights the spies searched the land FORTY days FORTY stripes presented himself FORTY days-FORTY days and Nineveh shall be destroyedWhen he had fasted FORTY days--Being seen of them FORTY days

But as it is not my intention to enter into an explanation of scriptural numbers in this work, the foregoing are introduced to show that numbers have a secret and significant meaning in scripture, and were well understood by the patriarchs, prophets, and holy men of old, though they may be disregarded by deists in the present day. They contain great information applicable to all states, times, and things, past, present, and future and well deserve the serious attention of all people.
