THE STORY OF DANIEL THE PROPHET

Stephen N. Haskell

“But go thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest and stand in thy
lot at the end of the days.” Daniel 12:13.

Babylon in hopes that they might there be fed

with fruit which would prove to be the bread

of life; but instead, it was a mixture of good

and evil, which poisoned the consumer.

The leaves of the tree were fair to look upon,

and might have been for the healing of the

nations; but the very odor they exhaled,

intoxicated and led to excesses. So with the

plant which has sprung from those hidden

roots. It may be fair to look upon, its fruit may

be so sweet that the eater can not be

persuaded that it is not truth, but the wisdom

of God will stand long after that of the world

has been destroyed. We should watch and

guard against the evils which spring from the

Babylonian root.
