DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

                                 ~The Response of History to the Revelation~

                                       Chapter 16 – The Plagues Poured Out
                   world’s history. The vials of God’s wrath are


               poured  out  upon  a  corrupt  generation.  The


               wicked  have  drunk  them  to  the  dregs,  and

               beautiful and expressive language of the 91st


               psalm, which alone we have space to quote: —



               “I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my


               fortress; my God, in him will I trust. Surely he


               shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,
