Multiple Protestant commentators, including the Evangelical Low‑[[Church of England|Church of England's]] writer [[Edward Bishop Elliot|Elliot]]<ref>[[Edward Bishop Elliott|Elliot, E.B.]], ''Horae Apocalypticae, added to post event printings of the 4th Edition'', Appendix on Recent Events (1871)<br />''“The Pope’s temporal dominion has been overthrown by the Italian nation.”''</ref><ref>[[Edward Bishop Elliott|Elliot, E.B.]], ''Horae Apocalypticae, added to post event printings of the 4th Edition'', later notes (1873)<br />''“The Pope’s temporal dominion has been overthrown by the Italian nation.”''</ref>, as well as early [[Seventh-day Adventist]] writers such as [[Uriah Smith]]<ref>[[Uriah Smith|Smith, Uriah]], ''Review and Herald'', January 10, 1871<br />''“The Pope’s temporal power has been taken away by the Italian government.”''</ref><ref>[[Uriah Smith|Smith, Uriah]], ''Review and Herald'', June 13, 1871<br />''“The Italian Parliament has passed what is called the ‘Law of Guarantees,’ defining the position of the Pope.”''</ref><ref>[[Uriah Smith|Smith, Uriah]], ''Review and Herald'', June 13, 1871<br />''“The Italian government has now completed the work of secularizing Rome.”''</ref><ref>[[Uriah Smith|Smith, Uriah]], ''Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation'', Daniel 7 commentary (Little Horn), 1882 ed., p. 131; 1897 ed., p. 131; 1912 ed., p. 131.<br />''“In 1870 the last vestige of the Pope’s temporal power was taken away.”''</ref>, and [[J.N. Andrews]]<ref>[[J.N. Andrews|Andrews, J.N.]], ''Review and Herald'', July 4, 1871<br />''“The Italian government has passed the Law of Guarantees, defining the Pope’s position as a spiritual ruler.”''</ref><ref>[[J.N. Andrews|Andrews, J.N.]], ''Review and Herald'', March 4, 1873<br />''“The last remnants of papal civil authority have been swept away.”''</ref>, have all acknowledged the Italian events of 1870–1873 as historically significant milestones marking the end of the Papal States and the final removal of papal civil authority.

 

These writers generally treated the events as important for church history or as evidence of the decline of temporal papal power, but did not assign them a specific prophetic fulfillment.

 

[[Commentary: Daniel 11, Anthony's Historicist Study Aid|Anthony's Historicist Study Aid]] uniquely identifies these events—particularly the fall of Rome in 1870, the Law of Guarantees in 1871, and the abolition of ecclesiastical courts in 1873—as forming a unified sequence corresponding to the conclusion of the 1335‑year period of Daniel 12:11–12.
