DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

                                 ~The Response of History to the Revelation~

                                             Chapter 6 - The Seven Seals
                   eternal  law,  and  the  earth  shook.  He  is  to


               speak again, and not only the earth will shake,


               but the heavens also. Then will the earth “reel


               to  and  fro  like  a  drunkard;”  it  will  be


               “dissolved” and “utterly broken down” (Isaiah


               24);  mountains  will  move  from  their  firm



               bases;  islands  will  suddenly  change  their


               location in the midst of the sea; from the level


               plain  will  arise  the  precipitous  mountain;


               rocks will thrust up their ragged forms from


               earth’s broken surface; and while the voice of


               God  is  reverberating  through  the  earth,  the


               direst  confusion  will  reign  over  the  face  of


               nature.



               To show that this is no mere conception of the


               imagination, the reader is requested to mark


               the  exact  phraseology  which  some  of  the


               prophets have used in reference to this time.
