DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

                            ~The Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy~

                                             Chapter 12– Closing Scenes
                   refer to his resurrection from the dead? This


               question is founded on a misapprehension in


               two respects: First, that the days at the end of


               which  Daniel  stands  in  his  lot  are  the  1335

               coming of Christ. Forty-five years before this,


               the time of the end commenced, the book was


               unsealed, and light began to increase. About


               the year 1843, there was a grand culmination
