DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

                            ~The Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy~

                   destroy.”  How  full  of  meaning  is  such  a


               description,  and  how  applicable  to  the


               Romans! In taking Jerusalem, they slew eleven

               which identifies the destruction of this power


               with the smiting of the image of chapter 2.
