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.

prophecies concerning the promised Messiah

were put into the universal language nearly

three hundred years before the birth of Christ.

The world might become intoxicated with

Greek philosophy, but God left man without

excuse by placing the word of life in the

household tongue of the nations. Satan may

scheme, and his agents on earth may be wise,

but they can do nothing against the truth

without in that very act promoting the truth.

While the dark wings of paganism were

drawing closer and closer about the world, to

shut out if possible the very light of heaven,

the word of God, as a lighted candle, a torch

among the sheaves, was shining under that

darkness, and proclaiming the advent of the

Desire of all ages.
