One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
The declaration marks the close of the first woe and announces that two woes more are still to come hereafter. The chapter containing it holds a timed prophecy of Ottoman power that was expounded to predict its overthrow in August 1840. Its first period of 150 years was exactly fulfilled before Deacozes ascended the throne by permission of the Turks.
The following period of 391 years and fifteen days, commencing at the close of the first period, ended on August 11, 1840, when the Ottoman power in Constantinople was broken. At the very time specified Turkey, through her ambassadors, accepted the protection of the allied powers of Europe and thus surrendered her independence and placed herself under the control of Christian nations. The event exactly fulfilled the prediction, convinced multitudes of the correctness of the principles of prophetic interpretation adopted in preaching the second advent, and gave a wonderful impetus to the Advent movement. From 1840 to 1844 the work rapidly extended.
