DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

                            ~The Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy~

                   pertain to the closing scenes of this world’s


               history.  No  other  books  contain  so  many


               chains of prophecy reaching down to the end.


               In no other books is the grand procession of

               last generation of the inhabitants of the earth,


               and  set  forth  so  comprehensively  all  the


               aspects  of  the  times,  physical,  moral,  and



               political, in which the triumphs of earthly woe


               and  wickedness  shall  end,  and  the  eternal


               reign  of  righteousness  begin.  We  take


               pleasure  in  calling  attention  especially  to


               these features of the books of Daniel and the
