562 KANSAS CITY REVIEW OF SCIENCE. 
day as the ist day of Nison of the Hebrew year in B. C. 1590. And 
this is further confirmed by the Jewish cycles of the Sabbatical and Jubilean 
years. 
Jesus commenced his ministry in a Jubilean year; see Luke iv, 16-19, and 
this year was the 15th of Tiberius Caesar or A. D. 29. The Jubilean cycle was 
a cycle of forty-nine years, and if the Exode took place in B. C. 1590 then the 
first Jubilean year was B. C. 1540, the thirty-second Jubilee was in A. D. 29, 
and the seventieth Jubilee, which also is the Great Jubilee, will commence with 
the Jewish new year A. D. 1890, before which time, I predict, the Jews will be 
masters in Jerusalem, for the time of Gentile rule over the Holy City will have 
ended. 
I base the above predictions on the words of the Prophet Daniel, chapter 9, 
verse 11. The curse there spoken of must relate to their chastisement " seven 
times" for their sins. Seven prophetic times are equal to 365 years multiplied 
by seven, equal to 2,555 years of punishment for sins. The beginning of this 
period must have been when Esarhaddon invaded Palestine, carried the ten 
tribes into captivity and sent Manasseh, King of Judah, a prisoner in chains, to 
Babylon, all of which took place in B. C. 670. And if the beginning of the 
" seven times," or 2,555 years of captivity, commenced B. C. 670, they will end 
in A. D. 1886, at which date the "times of the Gentiles" will end and Jerusalem 
will be once more under Jewish rule. But if a Jubilean year will commence in 
September, 1890, a Sabbatical year will commence in September, 1889, and if 
so, then a Sabbatical year has just ended at the commencement of the present 
Jewish New Year — or, to speak more correctly, it ended just one Jewish month 
earlier, for the Jews, following the 19-year cycle, are just one month out of line 
this year, with all their feasts and festivals, while last year they held them cor- 
rectly. This mistake has happened to them on account of their adoption of the 
Gentile method of regulating and bringing into harmony their lunar, with the 
true solar year, instead of following the more correct mode of their fathers. In 
other words they made the last year a leap year of thirteen months, when, ac- 
cording to the usage of their fathers, it would have been an ordinary year of 
twelve months, for they always commenced their religious or ecclesiastical year 
with that moon whose 15th day would happen after the sun had entered Aries. 
By following this rule their festivals would always be held by them at the proper 
time, instead of, as is the case this year, one month out of line with the true 
time for holding them. 
If the reader will verify for himself that I have given the true date when 
the Egyptian vague year crossed the Hebrew year, he will then be sure that the 
date of the Exode was B. C. 1590, and the date of the Flood B. C. 3048. It 
will follow that the first Jubilean cycle was in B. C. 1540, and the seventieth 
Jubilean cycle will commence September, 1890, or 7,000 years from Adam. 
In conclusion, there has been much said of late of Egyptian records running 
back into a very remote antiquity. It is fortunate that the Egyptians made an 
observation of the planetary configuration at the time of Menes' arrival in Egypt,
