DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

                            ~The Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy~

                                              Chapter 2-The Great Image
                   grave,  which  ransomed  multitudes  shall


               raise; whose light is not the intermittent light


               of earth, but the unceasing and ineffable glory


               of God and the Lamb. Into this city they shall


               enter, not as captives entering a foreign land,


               but as exiles returning to their father’s house;



               not as to a place where such chilling words as


               “bondage,”  “servitude,”  and  “oppression,”


               shall  weigh  down  their  spirits,  but  to  one


               where  the  sweet  words,  “home,”  “freedom,”


               “peace,”  “purity,”  “unutterable  bliss,”  and


               “unending life,” shall thrill their bosoms with


               delight  forever  and  ever.  Yea;  our  mouths


               shall be filled with laughter, and our tongue


               with singing, when the Lord shall turn again


               the  captivity  of  Zion.  Psalms  126:1,  2;


               Revelation 21:1-27.
