Rev. 11:1-2

And there was given me a reed like unto a rod:
and the angel stood, saying,
Rise and measure the temple of God,
and the altar,
and them that worship therein.

But the court which is without the temple
leave out,
and measure it not;
for it is given unto the Gentiles:
and the holy city shall they tread under foot
forty and two months.

Now the question is who were the Gentiles that occupied the area outside the Temple?
Answer:
They were the Muslims.

So we are not to use the Christian measure in measuring this forty and two months but rather we are to use the Muslim measure. In other words, we are to recognize that these are the dates on the Muslim calendar.

We have seen how 42 months (and ALL the other scriptures) reduce to 1260. The following formula, is so accurate that it has a maximum error of a day in converting the commencement date any Muslim year to the year on the Christian calendar. You can verify the formula in many encyclopedias and other sources.

multiply 970,224 by the Muslim year,
point off six decimal places
and add 621.5774.

The whole number will be the year C.E.,
and the decimal multiplied by 365
will give the day of the year.

Here is the math. Be SURE to check it through for yourself. It will then be meaningful to you. If you are not sufficiently interested to check the math then you are not sufficiently interested in the answer for it to make any difference.

!!! 1844 !!!

And what happened in 1844? Two things of significance!

1. There was the Edict of Toleration. The above Scripture (Rev. 11:1-2) pointed out -

the holy city shall they tread under foot
forty and two months.

Matthew
23:37O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

"During the 1970's I was researching parts of the Bah?'? Faith and, out of curiosity, wrote about the Edict of Toleration to the PUBLIC RECORD OFFICE in London. The following is the reply I received.

"A translation of the edict, an acknowledgement from Stratford Canning to the Sublime Porte, and an accompanying letter from Canning, dated 23 March 1844, is in Foreign Office, Turkey, FO78/555/No.49. There are several other letters from Canning in the same volume on the question of the religious intolerance of the Turks. The draft of a letter from the Foreign Office, dated 16 January 1844, which made plain the attitude of the British Government and which provided the direct impetus for the negotiations leading eventually to the issue of the edict, is in FO78/552/No.4."

------another source--------------
H.G.Guiness, who in his book, "Light for the Last Days" (probably published around the turn of the century) wrote "the decree [Edict of Toleration] was published in the 1260th year of the [Muslim] calendar. It is dated March 21st 1844. This date is the first of Nisan in the Jewish year, and is exactly 23 centuries [2300 years] from the 1st Nisan, B.C. 457, the day on which Ezra states that he left Babylon in compliance with the decree given in the seventh year of the reign of Artaxerxes."

So there we have it -------->

The next and final essay, in this series of 15 essays on the Most Conclusive Proof, discusses the significance of these numbers.
