The Eastern Question and Prophecy

The present aspect of the Eastern question is arousing attention. An editorial on the subject in the New York Sun called out a statement from one of its readers which shows that some general knowledge exists of the relation between the expulsion of the Turk from Europe and the prophecy of Daniel II. The Sun’s reader notes that “students of the Scriptures (very many of them) are agreed that the prophecy of Daniel in the latter part of the eleventh chapter is now near fulfilment,” and states: “I have looked for a great many years to see such a condition of affairs as you describe in your editorial this morning.” He observes further: “It says in the forty-fifth verse that he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain, and then come to his end. This means that the seat of Turkish power and government will be transferred to Jerusalem from Constantinople for a short time, and then the Turk will fade away into the East from whence he came.”
While this aspect of the Eastern question is attracting public attention, a splendid opportunity is presented to bring before the people the Bible truth on this important topic. Now is the time to circulate literature treating on this subject.
