DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

~The Response of History to the Revelation~

Chapter 1 – The Opening Vision
sleep shall awake. Some of the righteous, not

all of them, to everlasting life, and some of the

wicked, not all of them, to shame and

everlasting contempt. And this resurrection

transpires in connection with the great time of

trouble such as never was, which just

precedes the coming of the Lord. May not

“they also which pierced him,” be among those

who then come up to shame and everlasting

contempt? What could be more appropriate,

so far as human minds can judge, than that

those who took part in the scene of our Lord’s

greatest humiliation, and other special leaders

in crime against him, should be raised to

behold his terrible majesty, as he comes forth

triumphantly, in flaming fire, to take

vengeance on them that know not God, and

obey not his gospel? (See Daniel 12:2.)
