DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

                                 ~The Response of History to the Revelation~

                                 Chapter 10 – The Proclamation of the Advent
                   had declared, In the days of the voice of the


               seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound,

               the seventh angel, whose trumpet notes have
