earth.” It was the power which dominated

Europe for forty-two months, of which Daniel,

the prophet, says, “He shall speak great words

against the most High, and shall wear out the

saints of the most High, and think to change

times.” This is an inspired picture of the

first asked aid of the nations, then took the

reins of government, and ruled both kings and

nations. God calls this church a whore,

“Mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother of

harlots.”
