- 2520 = seven times, 7 × 360, the full length of the scattering of the holy people — built by 7 covenant times × 360 carried day-for-a-year, and by doubling the named papal half, 1260 + 1260 (Lev. 26:18, 21, 24, 28; Dan. 4:16, 25; Dan. 7:25; Dan. 12:7; Num. 14:34; PREX2 124.2; PREX2 204.1). — defined in "A Time Is 360, Seven Times Is 2520 — the Reckoning."
- the captivity of Manasseh = the carrying-away of Judah's king to Babylon, B.C. 677 — start of the 2520 reaching A.D. 1844 (2 Chron. 33:11-13; MWV2 262.2). — defined in "Two Captivities, Two Termini — 677 to 1844, 723 to 1798."
- the captivity of Samaria = the fall of the northern kingdom to Assyria, ~B.C. 723/722 — start of the parallel 2520 reaching A.D. 1798 (2 Kings 17:6, 18, 23; 2 Kings 18:9-12; HST March 20, 1844, page 55.8). — defined in "Two Captivities, Two Termini — 677 to 1844, 723 to 1798."
- chastise / I, even I = corrective discipline with a definite term, the LORD personally fixing and executing the measure (Lev. 26:28; Lev. 26:25). — defined in "Seven Times for Your Sins — the Fourfold Sentence."
- the covenant = the LORD's sworn agreement with Israel, conditional throughout — blessing for obedience, curse for rebellion (Lev. 26:9, 15; Deut. 30:19; Deut. 29:24-25). — defined in "The Blessing and the Curse — the Covenant Sanctions."
- the curse = the covenant sentence for disobedience, the inversion of the blessing, fully unfolded as desolation and dispersion; never causeless (Lev. 26:14-17, 28, 33; Deut. 28:15-16; Prov. 26:2; Dan. 9:11). — defined in "The Blessing and the Curse — the Covenant Sanctions."
- the day-for-a-year principle = one prophetic day stands for one literal year, "each day for a year," on two witnesses (Num. 14:34; Eze. 4:6; Num. 14:33). — defined in "A Time Is 360, Seven Times Is 2520 — the Reckoning."
- the gathering = the regathering of God's people promised within the same covenant that scattered them, realized as the scattering ends — the second-time recovery, the gathering time, all drawn to the lifted-up Christ into Abraham's one heir-people (Lev. 26:33, 40-45; Deut. 30:1-7; Neh. 1:8-9; Jer. 31:10; Isa. 11:11-12; Acts 3:19-21; John 12:32; Gal. 3:29). — defined in "Made a Curse for Us — the Scattering Ends in a Gathering."
- the "if ye will not... hearken / be reformed" refusal-clause = the escalation hinge, a fresh refusal to repent repeated in varied wording at each stage — the four ascending warnings that bring the measure to bear (Lev. 26:18 "if ye will not yet for all this hearken"; 26:21 "will not hearken"; 26:23 "will not be reformed"; 26:27 "if ye will not for all this hearken"). — defined in "Seven Times for Your Sins — the Fourfold Sentence."
- made a curse = Christ bearing the covenant curse in our place on the tree, made sin and accursed that the blessing of Abraham might come (Gal. 3:13; Gal. 3:10; Deut. 21:22-23; Isa. 53:5-6; 2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Pet. 2:24; Gal. 3:14). — defined in "Made a Curse for Us — the Scattering Ends in a Gathering."
- nebuchadnezzar's seven times = the literal seven years of abasement, the living type of the prophetic seven-times scattering (Dan. 4:16, 25, 32-37; Lev. 26:18). — defined in "Nebuchadnezzar's Seven Times — the Living Type."
- the scattering = the dispersion of Israel among the nations, the form the curse takes when fully unfolded (Lev. 26:33; Deut. 28:64; Deut. 28:36-37; Ezek. 5:10). — defined in "The Blessing and the Curse — the Covenant Sanctions."
- seven times = the measure of the covenant curse, read prophetically as a definite period of chastisement upon God's people (Lev. 26:18, 21, 24, 28; Dan. 4:16, 25; Dan. 12:7) — the full reckoning to 2520 years deferred to "A Time Is 360, Seven Times Is 2520 — the Reckoning." — defined in "Seven Times for Your Sins — the Fourfold Sentence."
- the stump bound with a band of iron and brass = abasement that does not annihilate — bounded, reversible judgment, restoration held in the spared root (Dan. 4:15, 23, 26, 36). — defined in "Nebuchadnezzar's Seven Times — the Living Type."
- a time = a prophetic year of 360 days, established by equating 3.5 times with 1260 days and 42 months for the one wilderness/papal span (Rev. 12:6, 14; Rev. 11:2-3; Rev. 13:5; Dan. 7:25). — defined in "A Time Is 360, Seven Times Is 2520 — the Reckoning."
- the times of the Gentiles = the whole 2520-year treading down of God's people, pagan then papal, bounded by an "until" (Luke 21:24; Lev. 26:18; Rom. 11:25; Dan. 8:14). — defined in "The Times of the Gentiles — the Treading Down."
- the treading (trodden down / trodden under foot) = the subjection of God's people, city, and sanctuary under the desolating powers (Dan. 8:13; Isa. 63:18; Dan. 8:10; Rev. 11:2; Ps. 79:1; Lam. 1:10). — defined in "The Times of the Gentiles — the Treading Down."
- the tree = a ruler or kingdom at its full height, its height its pride (Dan. 4:20-22; Eze. 31:3, 10). — defined in "Nebuchadnezzar's Seven Times — the Living Type."
- the two desolating powers = paganism (the daily, climaxing in pagan Rome) and papal Rome (the transgression of desolation), the successive treaders coupled in one treading (Dan. 8:13; Dan. 8:11-12; Dan. 8:23-25; Dan. 9:26-27; Dan. 7:25; Rev. 11:2). — defined in "The Times of the Gentiles — the Treading Down."
- the two termini = the two ends of the one 2520-year "seven times": A.D. 1844 (from Judah's B.C. 677, converging with the 2300) and A.D. 1798 (from Israel's ~B.C. 723/722, when papal dominion was broken) (Lev. 26:33; Num. 14:34; Eze. 4:6; Dan. 8:14; Luke 21:24). — defined in "Two Captivities, Two Termini — 677 to 1844, 723 to 1798."
