DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

~The Response of History to the Revelation~

Chapter 18 – Babylon, the Daughters
that no atonement to meet this state of

things is necessary, — what becomes of all

those portions of the Scriptures in which these

facts are recorded, and by which they are

recognized? They must be relegated to the

realm of fable. And when professed ministers

of the gospel, to whom the people look for

instruction, and on whose views they depend

in these matters, lead out with such teaching,

what reverence for the word of God can be

expected from the masses? “Like priest, like

people.” Such ministers are doing more for the

cause of infidelity than all the Voltaires and

Paines of a past age have done, or all the

Ingersolls of the present age are doing. Worse

than wolves without the fold, they are wolves

within it, and all the more dangerous because

arrayed in sheep’s clothing.
