DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

~The Response of History to the Revelation~

Chapter 6 - The Seven Seals
which brought intense alarm and distress to

multitudes of minds, as well as dismay to the

brute creation, the fowls fleeing, bewildered,

to their roosts, and the birds to their nests, and

the cattle returning to their stalls. Indeed,

thousands of the good people of that day

became fully convinced that the end of all

things terrestrial had come.... The extent of

this darkness was also very remarkable. It was

observed at the most easterly regions of New

England; westward to the farthest parts of

Connecticut, and at Albany; to the southward,

it was observed all along the seacoast; and to

the north, as far as the American settlements

extended. It probably far exceeded these

boundaries, but the exact limits were never

positively known.” — Our First Century, by R.

M. Devens, pp. 89, 90.
