                            ~The Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy~

                                             Chapter 7 – The Four Beasts
                   There are persons who believe in a thousand


               years’  triumph  of  the  gospel  and  reign  of


               righteousness  over  all  the  world  before  the


               Lord comes; and there are others who believe


               in probation after the Lord comes, and a mixed


               millennium,  the  immortal  righteous  still



               proclaiming the gospel to mortal sinners, and


               turning  them  into  the  way  of  salvation.  But


               both of these systems of error are completely


               demolished by the verses before us.



               1. The fourth terrible beast continues without


               change  of  character,  and  the  little  horn


               continues to utter its blasphemies, and hold its


               millions  of  votaries  in  the  bonds  of  a  blind


               superstition,  till  the  beast  is  given  to  the


               burning flame; and this is not its conversion,


               but its destruction. (See 2 Thessalonians 2:8.)
