DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

~The Response of History to the Revelation~

Chapter 7 – The Sealing
complete, when it is ascertained that the

fourth commandment, which has been shown

to be the seal of the law, is spoken of by the

Lord as that which contains his name. The

proof of this will be seen by referring to

Deuteronomy 16:6: “But at the place which

the Lord thy God shall choose to place his

name in, there shalt thou sacrifice the

passover,” etc. What was there where they

sacrificed the passover? — There was the

sanctuary, having in its holiest apartment the

ark with the ten commandments, the fourth of

which declared the true God, and contained

his name. Wherever this fourth

commandment was, there God’s name was

placed; and this was the only object to which

the language could be applied. (See

Deuteronomy 12:5, 11, 21; 14:23, 24, etc.)
