“Rev. W. T. Hamilton, D. D., of Mobile, Ala., in his ‘Lecture on Millerism,’ said: ‘I freely admit, that in his general outline of interpretation (excluding his dates), following, as he does, much abler men who have gone before him, Mr. Miller is correct. The several dynasties prefigured in the great metallic image of Nebuchadnezzar—in the vision of the four beasts, and of the ram and he-goat—Daniel himself points out. Mistake there is not easy.”—p. 18. “Dr. Jarvis, D. D., LL. D., of Middletown, Ct., in his ‘Two Discourses on Prophecy,’ also applies the fourth beast in the same manner.—p. 42. “J. T. Hinton, A. M., of St. Louis (‘Prophecies Illustrated’), said: ‘The dream of the image, the vision of the four beasts, that of the ram and he-goat, and the “Scriptures of truth,” give us four detailed descriptions of the history of the world, from the time of Daniel to the “time of the end;” and the Apocalyptic visions refer to the same period as the latter portion of the prophecies of Daniel.’—p. 25. ‘The dream of the image is of the greatest importance; it leaves _without excuse_ those who would reduce the remaining prophecies of Daniel to the narrow compass of the little acts of the reign of Antiochus Epiphanes. Nothing can be clearer than that the gold, the silver, the brass, the iron, and the clay, are designed to cover the history of the world in all its successive ages.”—p. 27. “Again he says: ‘We think our readers will concur with us, and with the great mass of writers on prophecy, that the “ten horns” or Daniel’s “fourth beast,” and “the beast rising out of the sea, having seven heads,” of the Apocalyptic visions, refer to the ten kingdoms into which the Roman Empire was divided. Of the identity of the ten-horned beasts of Daniel and John there can be no reasonable doubt.”—p. 232. “2. _The Little Horn of the seventh chapter of Daniel._ This he held to be the papacy. This was no novel view of that symbol, being, as it was, the view of the whole Protestant world.
