ll, we see they have finally moved them 1260 days. But God calls
to Ezekiel and says: "What is that proverb that ye have in the land of
Israel, saying the days are prolonged, and every vision faileth. _Tell
them therefore_, thus saith the Lord God, I will make this proverb to
cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel, but say unto
them the days are at hand and the effect of every vision, for there shall
be no more any vain vision, nor faltering devination within the house of
Israel; For I am the Lord, I will speak, and the word that I shall speak
shall come to pass; It shall be no more prolonged, for in your days, O
rebellious house, I will say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord
God" xii: 22-25. Three things here we notice; first, that the effect of
every vision is to fail with the rebellious house of Israel. This, then,
most certainly includes the _effect_ of Daniel's vision on the second
advent believers, it is the _effect_ of _every vision_. The effect of
John's vision fails with this. Now we actually know that the _effect_ of
Daniel's vision since 1842, has caused the whole world to tremble. We have
no account in history that any vision, or all the visions of the prophets
together, ever _began_, as it were, to have such an EFFECT as was produced
down to Oct. 1844. _From that time the effect began to cease._ Second,
here at the end of the prolonging of the days then, of this vision, God is
to speak. It is well known that he never has spoken to the world since
these prophets were born; therefore this is in the future, and right here
at this point of time, and after this _effect_, and before the coming of
Jesus. Third, then these days spoken of here are no other than the days of
Daniel's vision, to measure time, for Ezekiel's vision nor any other
vision given to the prophets, have chronological time to mark their
fulfillment, save Daniel's and John's. Respecting the rebellious house of
Israel, the prophets plainly and emphatically describe them to be in these
last days, according to the texts above. The 27th and 28th verses of this
xii chapter of Ezekiel, is more emphatic still: "They of the house of
Israel (same rebellious house,) say the vision that he seeth is for many
days to come, (yes, it is already advocated that it is thirty years, in
the future,) he prophesieth of the times that are far off." God says
"there shall none of my words be prolonged _any more_, but the word which
I have _sp
