    Brown came up with a 2520 year period based on the 7 times of Daniel, but that is about as far as the similarity goes. He placed this period between 604 B.C and 1917 A.D and did not explicitly connect the "Gentile Times" to it. His claim was that "The full glory of the kingdom of Israel shall be perfected" at the end of this period.

    Thanks TD. This all sounds familiar now.

    Yes, Brown used the 2520 year calculation though it took him to 1917 instead of 1914. He was not the first to use the calculation.
