he died; the Papal Monarchy or the Beast having seven heads, disappeared, or the woman was sitting upon the Beast, that is, took possession of the monarchy.  That woman is called the harlot and the mother of harlots, and the apostasy, or defection from truth and righteousness.  People polluted with this defection appear under the image of a harlot.  And those who professed to act in the name of the Republic or the people, after having removed the Pope from his seat, located their government on the Mountain Capitolinus, in contempt of the saints or gods of the Pope, and supported their government with a more terrible despotism, than their predecessors, the popes, did.  This government of the French Directory on the Mountain Capitolinus, is in this calculation the sixth government, or the government introduced in Rome after the fall of the governments on the five of the seven mountains.  When the government on those five mountains was translocated from one mountain upon an other, the government was not destroyed but only changed, as circumstances required.  But when the sixth government, (called in Revel. xvii:  10 “the one is” that is, the one which was in existence after the fall of the preceding five), was introduced, the former governments of the Papal monarchy were entirely abolished.  When this took place, “the other” in Revel, xvii:  10 “was not yet come,” and the government of the French Republic was in the greatest danger of being overturned.  In those circumstances, “the other,” that is Napoleon came.  He returned from Egypt and saved the republic; but the republic could not be sustained, and Napoleon advanced gradually so far that he became at length Emperor; and of him is said:  “he must continue a short space.”  Revel. xvii:  10.  His government is in this calculation the seventh government.  He thought, that the secular monarchy of the Pope was injurious to his Empire, and he required that the Pope, Pious VII, successor of Pius VI who died in France, should give up his secular monarchy.  And when the Pope refused to do so, he was taken captive and brought at length to France.

Napoleon is in our magnetic chain the same, who according to the vulgar reading and translation is called “the man of sin, the son of perdition.” 2d Ep.  Thessal. ii:  3.  We give only as many hints as are sufficient, to arouse governments and nations from their lethargy.  Theologians not knowing how the Bible originated, nor how to make the right use of it, had made already of the first chapter of the Bible the greatest abuse, and came in collision with developments of astronomy and geology as well as with the true history of man, being in that chapter nothing else but the vision or the image of the creation of the mosaic Heaven and the mosaic Earth, or the mosaic ecclesiastical and political institutions, which are abolished by virtue of our mission in which we show the new Heaven and the new Earth.  Interpreters and translators commenced to dupe people with the
