DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

~The Response of History to the Revelation~

Chapter 8 – The Seven Trumpets
poet has expressed, still under the same

beautifully appropriate Apocalyptic imagery,

‘She saw her glories star by star expire,’ till not

even a single star remained, to glimmer on the

vacant and dark night.”

The fearful ravages of these barbarian hordes,

who, under their bold but cruel and desperate

leaders, devastated and finally subdued Rome,

are vividly portrayed in the following spirited

lines:

“And then a deluge of wrath it came, And the

nations shook with dread; And it swept the

earth, till its fields were flame, And piled with

the mingled dead. Kings were rolled in the

wasteful flood, With the low and crouching

slave, And together lay, in a shroud of blood,

The coward and the brave.”
