~The Response of History to the Revelation~

Chapter 8 – The Seven Trumpets
“A furious tempest was excited among the

nations of Germany, from the northern

extremity of which the barbarians marched

almost to the gates of Rome. They achieved

the destruction of the West. The dark cloud

which was collected along the coasts of the

Baltic, burst in thunder upon the banks of the

upper Danube. The pastures of Gaul, in which

flocks and herds grazed, and the banks of the

Rhine, which were covered with elegant

houses and well-cultivated farms, formed a

scene of peace and plenty, which was

suddenly changed into a desert, distinguished

from the solitude of nature only by smoking

ruins. Many cities were cruelly oppressed, or

destroyed. Many thousands were inhumanly

massacred; and the consuming flames of war

spread over the greater part of the seventeen

provinces of Gaul.
