Abstract
THAT the 1260 years understood to be expressed by the “time, times, and a half ” (taking “time” to indicate a prophetic year of 360 days each) of Dan. xli. 7, and repeated in Rev. xii. 6 and in Rev. xi. and xiii. 5 under its equivalent term “forty and two months” (taking a month as thirty days), was in fact an astronomical cycle, was first suggested by Loys de Chdseaux in a work published at Paris in three years after the author's death. But it did not meet with much attention in England until a small work on the subject was published by Mr. W. Cuninghame in 1834, and it was subsequently more fully explained by Mr. H. Grattan Guinness in his “Approaching End of the Age,” which appeared in 1878.
