DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

                                 ~The Response of History to the Revelation~

                                       Chapter 18 – Babylon, the Daughters
                   respect  to  the                           remarkable  physical


               phenomena                          everywhere                         manifesting


               themselves, as they seem so plainly to indicate


               that  all  the  courses  of  nature  are  disturbed,


               and  that  the  earth  itself  is  waxing  old  in


               anticipation of the time when it shall vanish



               away.  Within  a  few  years  past,  how  many


               unnatural  visitations  of  storm  and  fire  and


               flood have wrought ruin in different localities,


               and  awakened  forebodings  of  fear  in  the


               hearts of men in general. Witness the Chicago


               fire, the Wisconsin fires, the Michigan fires, in


               connection  with  all  which  there  were


               manifested                   strange              and           unaccountable


               phenomena;  the  floods  of  the  Ohio,  the


               Mississippi,  and  other  Western  rivers;  the


               devastating floods of Europe; the famines of


               China and India; the cyclones and tidal waves,


               sweeping  away  the  proudest  works  of  man,
