DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

~The Response of History to the Revelation~

Chapter 9 – The Seven Trumpets (continued)
“A still more specific illustration may be

given of the power, like unto that of scorpions,

which was given them. Not only was their

attack speedy and vigorous, but ‘the nice

sensibility of honor, which weighs the insult

rather than the injury, sheds its deadly venom

on the quarrels of the Arabs; an indecent

action, a contemptuous word, can be expiated

only by the blood of the offender; and such is

their patient inveteracy, that they expect

whole months and years the opportunity of

revenge.’”

VERSE 4. And it was commanded them that

they should not hurt the grass of the earth,

neither any green thing, neither any tree; but

only those men which have not the seal of God

in their foreheads.
