                                          Chapter 11 – A Literal Prophecy
                   embassadors                      at         Constantinople,                       and


               exasperated  that  Egypt,  so  long  a  semi-


               dependency of the Ottoman empire, should be


               transformed into a French province, declared


               war against France. Thus the king of the north


               (Turkey)  came  against  him  (France)  in  the

               year  1798  is  the  year  which  begins  that


               period;  and  all  of  which  is  a  demonstration


               that  this  application  of  the  prophecy  is


               correct;  for  so  many  events  meeting  so


               accurately the specifications of the prophecy


               could  not  take  place  together,  and  not  be  a


               fulfillment of the prophecy.



               Was  the  coming of the king  of the  north, or


               Turkey,  like  the  whirlwind  in  comparison
