DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith
~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.)
