England and France, or Eng

Russia; yet, Russia is to take the
countries this side the crossings,
and is then to pass over into Asia,
it would seem.
she shall enter into the glori.
Gus land" This at once recalls
his entrance into Palestine.
"Many countries shall be over>
thrown" This would literally
imply the conquest of~agrsatpor.
tion of Asiatic-T Turkey, with some
exceptions.
"He shall stretch forth bis hand
upon the countries, and the land
Of Egypt shall not escape" Af-
rican countries are here referred
to, a part for tbd whole. "The
Lybians and Ethiopians shall be
at his steps,"
Thus having obtained nearly all
Europe, Asia, and Africa, he be.

almost limitless. 1t emulates old
Rome. as the possessor Of three
continents.
''But tidings out of the East
and out Of the North shall trouble
him"
While engaged in these South.

two directions, which enrages him.
The Eastern news may be from
Asia or America, the Northern
from Europe or Briton.
"Therefore, shall he 60 forth
with great fury to destroy, and to
make away many"
The Russian Government has
two great final works to do. The
first is to destroy the Roman
Church in Europe, and the other
is to attack the United States.
The tilings from the East and
North may be the news Of disaf>
fection Of the Papal Power, on
account Of the superiarity, which
Russia gives the Greek Church,
and on account Of the holy places
in Judea. The word tidings seems
to indicate great instructions.
"He shall plant his taber7saclcs
betVeem the seas, en- the glorious
holy mountain"
AS the Roman power, restored,
and be overthrown, so the willful
King or autocrat, is here seen
planting his imperial tents in the
land Of Israel. restored.
The term "between the seas" is |
most graphically an expression Of |
the situation Of our Christian dem |
ocracy, between the Atlantic and |
Pacific. Ascending, "hs shall fall |

shall come to his end, and none
shall help him" 'w
