DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

                   which is trodden without the city. And blood


               comes  out  of  the  winepress,  even  to  the


               horses’ bridles. We know that the wicked are


               doomed to be swallowed up at last in a flood


               of  all-devouring  flame  descending  from  God


               out of heaven; but what preceding slaughter



               may take place among the doomed host, we


               know  not.  It  is  not  improbable  that  this


               language will be literally fulfilled. As the first


               four  angels  of  this  series  denoted  a  marked


               movement on the part of the people of God,


               the  last  two  may  denote  the  same;  for  the


               saints are to have some part to act in meting


               out and executing the final punishment of the


               wicked. 1 Corinthians 6:2; Psalms 149:9.



               The  Saints  Triumphant.  —  Thus  closes  this


               chain  of  prophecy  —  closes  as  others  close,


               with the complete triumph of God and Christ
