According to the sacred books of the Persians, three sons of the great Zarathustra were to appear at three successive periods of time. These sons were to be incarnations of the sun, and the result of immaculate conceptions. "The first is named Oschederbami. He will appear in the last millennium of the world.
I am labouring under no delusions as to the possibility of inaugurating the Millennium by any social specific. In the struggle of life the weakest will go to the wall, and there are so many weak. The fittest, in tooth and claw, will survive. All that we can do is to soften the lot of the unfit and make their suffering less horrible than it is at present.
The prevailing impression can have fallen little short of the conviction that a sort of millennium was at hand for mankind in general and the French in particular, and that all human ills would disappear because a bad government had been got rid of, and that without such scenes of blood and strife as had disfigured previous revolutions.
He says if all men will do that the millennium will come to-morrow. I 'spose you know what the millennium is?" "I do!" said the Princess. "But I don't know what your father and his friend Oliver P. Morton have to do with Laddie." "Why, everything on earth! Laddie is father's son, you see, and he is made like father. None of our other boys is. Not one of them loves land.
Tell me, Mr. van Koppen, how do you propose to amalgamate or reconcile such ferociously antagonistic strivings? I fear we will have to wait for the millennium." "The millennium!" echoed Mr. Heard. "That is another of those unhappy words which are always cropping up in my department." "Why unhappy?" asked Mr. van Koppen. "Because they mean nothing. The millennium will never come." "Why not?"
Here's a Health to Detail, Retail, and Curtail indeed, all the tails but tell-tales. The Coming Millennium: When great men are honest and honest men are great. Our Merchant: May he have good trade, well paid. May the Devil cut the toes of all our foes, That we may know them by their limping. May we Live to learn well and Learn to live well.
The Himalayan gateways opened once more and through them swarmed a new race of invaders, passing out of those barren plains of Central Asia that have been ever the breeding grounds of nations and swooping upon India's treasures. In one hand the green flag of the Prophet, in the other the sword, these followers of Muhammad sealed for a millennium the end of woman's high estate.
Possibly a few highly respectable saints, who were fashionable in their day and contrived to live in Kensington without infection of paganism, will take their Leviathan in conventional courses, and beginning with hors d'oeuvres may will him everything by turns and nothing long; making him soup and sweets, joint and entrée, and even ices and coffee, for in the millennium the harassing prohibition which bars cream after meat will fall through.
Neither Danton nor Billaud expected a millennium; their only aim was to shape France into a coherent political personality, and the war between them turned upon the policy of prolonging the Terror after the frontiers had been saved and the risings in the provinces put down.
Lee gave an angry sniff, and flirted up his paper before his face. "Why don't ye say?" pressed Tappan, with a hard wink at the others. "I don't know that it is any of your business," replied Lee. "Ask when the millennium's comin'," said Amidon, in the chair. "I wish I was as sure of the millennium as I am of those dividends," declared Lee, brought to bay.
