of the Well, we shall find that this point indicates the year 606 B. C., when the Kingdom of Israel wasdestroyed. This point, therefore, appropriately represents both the year 606 B. C., when the Kingdom of Israelpassed into hades and the year 70 A. D., when the Nation of Israel passed into hades, and here they have bothbeen ever since.From lower edge of third plate to top of passage . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 829Thence to edge of opening into horizontal passage . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 58 1/4Thence down to the floor of horizontal passage . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27Thence along the floor to the edge of the mouth of the well . . . . . . . . . 56___British inches . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 970 1/4Deduct . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1___Pyramid inches . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 969 1/4Entrance into Canaan is . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1575Zedekiah dethroned . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 606969Restoration of the Nation and Kingdom of IsraelWhen will they emerge from hades? According to the prophecies of the Scriptures the Nation of the Kingdomof Israel will emerge at the same date, October, 1914, the end of "The times of the Gentiles." We might expect,therefore, that this date will be shown by the mouth of the Well. Should we expect it to be the upper or lowerend of the Well? The fact that the Israelites will still be on the plane of human imperfection at this date wouldindicate that we should expect the Nation and Kingdom of Israel to emerge at the lower end of the Well, to taketheir part in the "time of trouble," which is to come upon the world in 1915 A. D.We find that this is the case. When we measure from the lower edge of the 3rd transverse plate as the date of theentrance into Canaan, first horizontally inward toward a point vertically above the center of the lower end of theWell, and thence vertically downwards, we shall find when the center of the lower opening of the Well isreached, that this point indicates the date, October, 1914. Thus, the upper end of the Well indicates thebeginning, and the lower end of the Well indicates the end of the "Times of the Gentiles."From lower edge of third plate horizontally tovertical line drawn up from center of outlet of Well . . . . . . . . . . . . 1921 1/4From this horizontal line down to center of outlet . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1570 3/4British inches . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3492Deduct . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 1/2Pyramid inches . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3488 1/2Entrance into Canaan . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1574 3/4End of the "Times of the Gentiles" . . . . . . 1913 3/43488 1/2Now, dear friends, when you begin to study these different points, you will see what a wonderful Stone Witnessthis is of God's Great Plan of Salvation, a Witness which shall be for the world in the Millennial Age, - the timewhen the knowledge of the Lord shall cover the earth as the waters cover the great deep.
