DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

                            ~The Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy~

                            Chapter 8 – Vision of the Ram, He-Goat & Little Horn
                   moment support such a claim. If, therefore,


               we do not find it in the object before us, we


               may abandon the search in utter despair; we


               may  discard  so  much  of  revelation  as  still


               unrevealed, and may cut out from the sacred


               page,  as  so  much  useless  reading,  the



               numerous  passages  which  speak  on  this


               subject. All those, therefore, who, rather than


               that  so  important  a  subject  should  go  by


               default,  are  willing  to  lay  aside  all


               preconceived  opinions  and  cherished  views,


               will  approach  the  position  before  us  with


               intense anxiety and unbounded interest. They


               will lay hold of any evidence that may here be


               given us, as a man bewildered in a labyrinth of


               darkness would lay hold of the thread which


               was his only guide to lead him forth again to


               light.
