DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

                            ~The Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy~

                                          Chapter 11 – A Literal Prophecy
                   refer  the  overflowing  and  passing  over  to


               the king of the north, these words expressing


               the  result  of  that  movement  which  is  just


               before likened to the fury of the whirlwind.




               VERSE 41. He shall enter also into the glorious


               land, and many countries shall be overthrown:


               but these shall escape out  of his hand,  even


               Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children


               of Ammon.



               The facts just stated relative to the campaign


               of the French against Turkey, and the repulse


               of the former at St. Jean d’Acre, were drawn


               chiefly  from  the  Encyclopedia  Americana.


               From  the  same  source  we  gather  further


               particulars  respecting  the  retreat  of  the


               French into Egypt, and the additional reverses


               which  compelled  them  to  evacuate  that


               country.
