"But the Judgment shall sit, and they
shall take away his dominion, to consume
and destroy II unto the end. /" DanielvII 100.
This verse refers TO the little horn
which was to be the last form Of Gentle
power, which is the Mahamedan Empire
OF Turkey. This anti-C Christ was to prevail
against the Christians, "until time and
times and the dividing of time" which is
equivalent to the 1860 year days of reyela-
ton. The Mahamedan power arose In
500 A. D., which number being added TO
1860 years, makes 1882 A. ID. nti-Christ
was then to be overthfown. The prophecies
of Daniel are prediction of all the histor-
ical events which were to occur from his
time, to the end of Gentle supremacy. Any
one may tell by consulting history, that
these predictions have been literally fulfilled.
The dominion of the earth was promised
to Israel II they would keep the covenants.
As they did not keep them, the position
of chief ruler was taken from them and
given to the Gentle nations. This Gentle
supremacy was to last ? 1900 years.
That time is now up, and marks the end
of the world in the Bible sense, or of worldly
rule.
The dominion henceforth belongs to Israel
or the seed of Isaac, as against the children
| OF Israel The rule must now go to the
children of the free woman Sarah, instead
| of the children of the bond woman Hagar.
The Christian world has become aroused
| and is watching the signs of the times, and
is looking to the early restoration of the
jews, TO the Holy land.
| They do not realize that the Christian
nations of the world represent lost Israel,
and that they are de .fdctO the rulers OF the
earth. The Gentle nations which were To
| arise in succession and bear rule over the
| earth for the period of 2,30O years were
Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome, with the
addition of the little horn or Empire of
| Mahomet.
These powers are characterized as beasts.
| But on the ruins of Rome ten kings, not
beasts, were to arise. These were to exist
during the same time as the little horn.
Now these ten kings are represented by
the Christian nations of Europe. The ten
last tribes of Israel marched off into the
wilderness and disappeared from ancient
history 722 years before Christ. But of late
wears they have been traced, and found to
have settled in Northern Europe, and be-
| came known to the Romans under the name
of the Goths. The Goths overthrew the
Roman Empire, and founded all the
Christian Kingdoms OF modern Europe "lu
those days the house of Judah shall
walk with the house Of Israel, and they
shall come together out of the lands of the
north, TO the land that have given for an
inheritance unto their fathers" Jer. In Is.
Already, then, has the chief dominion re-
turned to Israel, and when the European
Conference met in Berlin the prophecy was
fulfilled. "But the Judgment shall sit, and
they shall take away his dominion to con
sume and destroy II unto the end" This
conference had never been disbanded, but IL
still sitting; at present In Constantinople-
By its judgment nearly all of the European
provinces of Turkey have been wrested from
her; Cyprus given TO England, and the regu.
lation ofthe government of Palestine beer
put under English control. France has
taken possession of Algiers and Tunis
Spain claims Morocco, and Italy demands
Tripoli. England before our eyes, as II
were, to-day has seized Egypt, and the Sui
tan has been compelled To surrender u
Greece the lands accorded her at the confer
ence at Berlin.
This is the literal process of consuming
and destroying unto the end, which latter
cannot be far of.
Our interest In the matter is in what fol
lows in the next verse And the kingdom
and dominion and the greatness OF the
kingdom under the whole heaven shall be
given to the people of the saints Of the Most
High, whose kingdom il an everlasting
kingdom, and all dominions shall serve ant
obey Him." w. F. Quincy.
