THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, A. D.

COMPLETING THE SIXTH MILLENNIUM.

EVE ALSO OF THE SEVENTH

OR SABBATIC MILLENNIUM.

We had in SALVATION last year, a view of the symmetrical periodicity of the recorded Times of the Kingdom of God, still more mysterious and surprising than the numerical and geometrical symmetry that pervades all the creative evolutions of matter, from vegetation and crystallization up to the celestial systems of suns and planets. (Volume II. April and May, 1900.)

We found the chronological frame of Divine or sacred history visibly jointed in three main spans, of exactly 2000 years each: bi-millenniums. ADAM, ABRAHAM, and CHRIST, are the three grand heads of history in its sacred, or true and permanent, aspect, as relating directly to the Redemption of Man. Speaking statistically, we are now at the eve of the completion of the Third Bimillennium and of the beginning of the Seventh Millennium in the Divine Evolution of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.

We might here review also, with amazing interest, the symmetrical subdivisions of sacred time, in millenniums, and again in semimillenniums, all marked off with precision by such great and controlling events as the prophecies of Enoch and of Noah, the call of Abraham, the Exodus from Egypt to Canaan, the Davidic kingdom and Temple of Solomon, the Captivity, the Restoration, and the First Advent. Few, probably, have noticed the fact that all these critical epochs were, as nearly as we can reckon, exactly 500 years apart; or that the grander ones were exact periods of 1000 years: or that the grandest—to Abraham, to Christ, and to the end of the present Century—are bi-millenniums, or periods of 2000 years; while the next century will begin the Seventh and the only quite separate and single millennium like the sabbath of the Lord, to follow once more, as all are hoping, the completion-or shall we say, the triumphant inauguration?-of His work, the New Creation. Furthermore, to confirm our conviction of the sovereign symmetry peculiar to the Almighty Ruler's times, we might turn back again to the May number, of 1900, and see how the sacred seven of God's week of days, and week of years, and week of weeks of years, were all
