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
                   and a golden censer (chapter 8:3); he saw


               the  ark  of  God’s  testament  (chapter  11:19);


               and all this in connection with a “temple” in


               heaven. Revelation 11:19; 15:8. These objects

               he was permitted to behold it.



               However reluctant a person may have been to


               acknowledge  that  there  is  a  sanctuary  in


               heaven,  the  testimony  that  has  been
