DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith
~The Response of History to the Revelation~
Chapter 18 – Babylon, the Daughters
conversion of sinners was becoming “a lost
art.”
Abundance of similar testimony might be
produced from persons in high standing in
these various denominations, written, not for
the purpose of being captious and finding
fault, but from a vivid sense of the fearful
condition to which these churches have fallen.
The term Babylon, as applied to them, is not a
term of reproach, but is simply expressive of
the confusion and diversity of sentiment that
exists among them. Babylon need not have
fallen, but might have been healed (Jeremiah
51:9) by the reception of the truth; but she
rejected it, and confusion and dissensions still
reign within her borders, and worldliness and
pride are fast choking out every plant of
heavenly growth.
