And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
The portrayal of hair like women's hair and teeth like lions' teeth belongs to the prophecy of Revelation 9 that foretold the fall of Ottoman power. Its measured spans of 150 years and of 391 years and fifteen days were reckoned to reach their end on August 11, 1840. On that day Turkey accepted the protection of the allied European powers, surrendering its independence in government.
That fulfillment drew many to confidence in the system of prophetic interpretation that sustained the Advent movement.
