DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

~The Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy~

Chapter 11 – A Literal Prophecy
the fulfillment of the remaining portion of

this chapter, and hence do not see how it can

be thus applied. It must, then, be fulfilled by

Turkey, unless it can be shown (1) that the

expression “king of the north” does not apply

to Turkey, or (2) that there is some other

power besides either France or the king of the

north which fulfilled this part of the

prediction. But if Turkey, now occupying the

territory which constituted the northern

division of Alexander’s empire, is not the king

of the north of this prophecy, then we are left

without any principle to guide us in the

interpretation; and we presume all will agree

that there is no room for the introduction of

any other power here. The French king, and

the king of the north, are the only ones to

whom the prediction can apply. The

fulfillment must lie between them.
