« We have thus shown that 1799 began the period called the Time of the End ; that in this time Papacy is to be consumed piece-meal ; and that Napoleon took away not only Charlemagne’s gifts of territory (one thousand years after they were made), but also, afterward, the Papacy’s civil jurisdidtion in the city of Rome, which was recognized nominally from the promulgation of Justinian’s decree, A. D. 533, but actually from the overthrow of the Ostrogothic monarchy, A. D. 539—just 1260 years before 1799. » — Livre : Studies in the Scriptures, volume III, Thy kingdom come, edition of 1914, page 58 § 2.
