THE STORY OF DANIEL THE PROPHET

                                             Stephen N. Haskell


                 “But go thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest and stand in thy
                                   lot at the end of the days.” Daniel 12:13.


               under  his  control,  he  mustered  an  immense


               army-over  five  million,  historians  state-and


               crossed  the  Hellespont  to  subdue  Grecia.


               Defeat  and  disaster  accompanied  the  effort,


               however,  and  he  returned  unto  his  own


               kingdom.



               The Spirit of God was not yet withdrawn from


               the Medo-Persian court, and although Xerxes


               is the last king mentioned in the vision which


               Daniel  saw,  yet  God  was  still  holding  out


               mercy to the Israelites; and it was during the


               reign            of        Artaxerxes                  Longimanus,                     the



               successor of Xerxes that the final decree for


               the  return  of  the  Jews  was  issued.  In  like


               manner  the  grand  jubilee  will  immediately


               follow Satan’s last effort to destroy the people


               of God.
