DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

~The Response of History to the Revelation~

Chapter 12 – The Gospel Church
spring of B. C. 37, after an obstinate

resistance of six months, says: “Such was the

end of the Asmonean dynasty, exactly 130

years after the first victories of Judas

Maccabaeus, and in the seventieth year from

the assumption of the diadem by Aristobulus

I.”

The dragon stood before the woman, to

devour her child. It now becomes necessary to

identify the power symbolized by the dragon;

and this can very easily be done. The

testimony concerning the “man child” which

the dragon seeks to destroy, is applicable to

only one being that has appeared in this

world, and that is our Lord Jesus Christ. No

other one has been caught up to God and his

throne; but he has been thus exalted.
