DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

                                       Chapter 16 – The Plagues Poured Out

               and his work, are in the past. If these are past,


               then the third angel’s message, which warns


               us in reference to this work, is in the past; and

               messages  have  been  given  in  our  own  day;


               that  the  third  is  now  in  process  of
