The following is re-printed from a paper of 1793, and, as our years has since elapsed, our readers will see how the prophecy has thus far been fulfilled--and from thence what faith is due to the future.

INTERESTING PROPHECY.

The following was handed us, in print, by a gentleman lately from London. It is presented to our readers as we received it, as a support of their faith in the Millennium, which, we hope can be supported by scripture-reason, and the opinions of pious men, that it will come and the time soon.-- [1 The. V. 20, 27.]

DEAR SIR,

EVER fond, as I know you are, of what is curious, I have sent you a copy of a remarkable prophecy, lately found in Paris, and transmitted from a gentleman there, to his friend in London; who writes, that it was engraved on a flag-stone, two yards square, in Hebrew characters, and very elegantly inlaid with gold. It is supposed to have lain near 600 years, under an old wall, taken down by the late king of France, to be rebuilt. On removing the rubbish from the foundation, this stone was discovered.

Permit me to assure you, that I heard it from a man of very strict veracity and honor, who is expert at Hebrew, and on whom I can rely for the truth of the circumstance. As it predicts a most glorious and universal revolution in 1800, I heartily congratulate you on the welcome news. I do expect great changes will take place here. The Millennium will soon come, I have been long satisfied in my own mind; may you and I prepare for it. O may we live to see the really Illustrious Descendant alluded to; who, if this be true, must be now alive, past infancy, probably in Europe; perhaps in England: is the sincere wish of, sir, your affectionate friend and servant,

B. HAWES.

IN the year 1790, there will be a rebellion against the French King; and when the present Pope dies, there will be no other elected.

In the year 1791, there will be a war amongst many of the European powers against France.

1792, more of the Christian powers engaged in the war.

1793, the war increases throughout Europe.

1794, there will be a few or no forms of religion observed in France.

1795, there will be a destructive disunion among the powers of Europe.

1796, there will be a great slaughter, and much bloodshed, by land and sea.

1797, there will appear a Gog and Magog*, that will make war against all nations in the world.

1798. there will be a great destruction that will thin the inhabitants of the earth.

1799, there will come a Descendant of David, who will perform such Acts of Grace from the power derived from Almighty God, as to destroy Gog and Magog--and will cause, in

1800, the remnant of all nations to be of one religion, and no more wars among men, who will be forever after in bonds of friendship, equality, and unfeigned love towards God and one another.

By Gog and Magog, I apprehend we may understand the open and secret enemies of evangelical liberty and equality, or of genuine christianity.
