DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

                                 ~The Response of History to the Revelation~

                                     Chapter 19 – The Triumph of the Saints
                   its  overthrow  is  emphatically  predicted  in


               other prophecies than the one now before us,


               notably in Daniel 7:11, in which the prophet


               says that he beheld till the beast was slain, and

               fire.



               The other power associated with it, the two-

               very climax of the work it has to do before it
