DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

~The Response of History to the Revelation~

Chapter 1 – The Opening Vision
the Christian’s present song of joy; for here

we are permitted to say that we have

redemption through his blood, though that

redemption is not yet given, and that we have

eternal life, though that life is still in the hands

of the Son, to be brought unto us at his

appearing; and it is still true, as it was in the

days of John and Peter, that God designs his

people in this world to be unto him a chosen

generation, a royal (kingly) priesthood, a holy

nation, a peculiar people. 1 Peter 2:9;

Revelation 3:21; Daniel 7:18, 27. No wonder

the loving and beloved disciple ascribed to

this Being who has done so much for us, glory

and dominion, forever and ever. And let all the

church join in this most fitting ascription to

their greatest benefactor and dearest friend.
