The Eastern War Fulfillment of Prophecy

Many learned divines in England and
elsewhere look upon the present war as
fulfilling, or about to fulfill. some of the
most re marka bic prophecies contained in
the criptures-to wit: the drying up of
the prophetic Euphrates. in the destruc-
ton of the Ottoman Empire. and tina,
the Russian power is nothing more nor
less than Daniels king of the North"
who is to come against that Empire with
chsriots and with horsemen, and with
many ships. and shall enter the countries,
overflow and pass on. and go forth with
great fury TO destroy. and utterly TO make
away many. and shall plant the ia berna-
Gle of his palace between the seas, in
the glorious holy mountain" (Chsp. H..
4O-45.) And some writers, in their
zeal on this subject. have gone so far as
to predict that when this King of the
North-the Russian power-shall have
"planted the tabernacle Of his palace be.
tween the seas" that is. Palestine. then
shall the Jews assemble from the four
quarters Of the globe. and make war up
on this King Of the North; and. aided by
Tue powers VI Eugtahu anu the Unlteo
States. they will then and there, in the
mountains of Judea. fight the great apo
calyptic battle of the Armageddon. OF
course the Au,ocrat. King of the North.
is there to be conquered. 'for he shall
come to his end. and none shall help
him." and his mighty hosts are to furnish
that apocaIyptic ''supper of the great

to be called, "that they may eat the flesh
of kings. and the flesh of captains, and
