 | | De Cheseaux is famous for his discovery of two comets, one a six-tailed comet, in the years 1744 and 1746 (“Philippe Loys de Cheseaux”). |
 | | De Cheseaux writes, “I had no sooner discovered this cycle, than I observed that it was a quarter of the 1260 years of Daniel, and the Apocalypse, and that consequently, this period is itself a soli-lunar cycle…”(Approaching, 398). |
 | | When de Cheseaux realized this, and that the 1260 year period was both an “appointed season” for earthly political events prophesied in Scripture, and an accurate soli-lunar cycle, he wondered if the 2300 years of Daniel 8, might also be a soli-lunar cycle. |
