THE STORY OF THE SEER OF PATMOS

Stephen N. Haskell

“Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at
hand” Revelation 22:10.

Burgundians, and the Franks, were by that

time, or a few years later, settled within the

borders of the Western Empire True, the

Vandals, Heruli, and Ostrogoths were of short

duration, having been, before the year 538,

“plucked up” to make way for the enthroning

of the ecclesiastical power, according to the

prophetic history of Daniel 7:8. But from the

other seven developed the nations of Europe

which are in existence to-day. The smoke from

the “bottomless pit” beclouded the eastern

sky, and the consideration of the Eastern

Empire necessitates a study of

Mohammedanism instead of Christianity. The

condition was different in the western

division, that portion of Europe still claimed to

be ruled by the precepts of Christ.
