THE STORY OF THE SEER OF PATMOS

Stephen N. Haskell

“Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at
hand” Revelation 22:10.

recorded this date with such definiteness. To

the prophet on Patmos, it had been revealed

that “their power was to hurt men five

months.”

Five prophetic months is the equivalent of one

hundred and fifty literal years, one day

meaning a year, and counting thirty days to

the month. Since the exact day for the

beginning of this power is given, the

expiration of the five months may be reckoned

to the day. It closed July 27, 1449. It is these

dates which enable the student of the

trumpets, to locate the events which take

place under each trumpet. These dates are

“nails in a sure place” for both the first and the

second woe.
