DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

~The Response of History to the Revelation~

Chapter 6 - The Seven Seals
Beyond any question, their persecutors had

all passed off the stage of action, and,

according to the view under consideration,

were suffering all the torments of hell right

before their eyes. Yet, as if not satisfied with

this, they cry to God as though he were

delaying vengeance on their murderers. What

greater vengeance could they want? Or, if

their persecutors were still on the earth, they

must know that they would, in a few years at

most, join the vast multitude daily pouring

through the gate of death into the world of

woe. Their amiability is put in no better light

even by this supposition. One thing, at least, is

evident: The popular theory concerning the

condition of the dead, righteous and wicked,

cannot be correct, or the interpretation

usually given to this passage is not correct; for

they devour each other.
