DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

~The Response of History to the Revelation~

Chapter 9 – The Seven Trumpets (continued)
“The king of Persia despised the obscure

Saracen, and derided the message of the

pretended prophet of Mecca. Even the

overthrow of the Roman empire would not

have opened a door for Mohammedanism, or

for the progress of the Saracenic armed

propagators of an imposture, though the

monarch of the Persians and chagan of the

Avars (the successor of Attila) had divided

between them the remains of the kingdom of

the Caesars. Chosroes himself fell. The Persian

and Roman monarchies exhausted each

other’s strength. And before a sword was put

into the hands of the false prophet, it was

smitten from the hands of those who would

have checked his career and crushed his

power.
