OR HOW WILL THE TURKISH EMPIRE BE
DISPOSED OF?
Continued from last week
1t might be we'll to examine this pro-
phecy little closer and see if we are cor
rect in applying the last part of the l1th
of Daniel to the Turk: for we will notice
the time when this king of the north was
due to come against this iniidel power.
He was to come against him i'll period of
time called 1.-The time of the end, which
period began at the close of the papal
persecution in the yea1 about HIS, and as
the Sultan was the ruler OF Syria and the
surrounding country, and as ever since
Alexander S time the one that ruled this
dominion has been styled in this prophecy
the king of the north we think it proper to
say that the Sultan is the one here refer
red to, and further he is the only one on
record in this worlds history to whom
this prophecy can be applied. The course
he took after he defeated tie French, the
counties he took and those mentioned
that he would not take, ''even Edom and
Moab.
Egypt shall not escape, says the prophet;
also he shall have power over the treas
uies of gold and OF silver. Who but the
Sultan of Turkey has had this power ?
