The United States in the Light of Prophecy.
By John Nevins Andrews
The series of articles by Bro. U. Smith, under the above caption, will richly repay the most careful study. The subject itself is one of the highest importance. It is not a matter of mere theory. It is brought directly home to every individual. We cannot see how the reasoning of these articles can be set aside. Those who have never considered the leading idea here presented, will certainly be surprised at the strength of the argument embodied in these articles. Those who have given the subject much thought will find, in the array of facts here presented, much to instruct them in this subject. We cannot see how these things can be fairly met. The warning of the third angel pertains to the work of the two-horned beast. And that warning is the immediate precursor of the seven last plagues. It follows the proclamation of the hour of God's judgment, and that of the fall of Babylon. It also immediately precedes the Son of Man on the white cloud. It is therefore evident, 1. That the territory of the two-horned beast is that where the three angels' messages are to be given; and surely no land under heaven is so adapted to this work, or has witnessed its accomplishment in such manner as has this country. 2. That the people of God will not witness the close of the great advent work, and the consummation of their hope, till this same country which has presented such advantages for the promotion of the truth, shall prove the field of serious persecution and trouble. We earnestly invite the readers of the REVIEW to give these articles attentive study. J. N. ANDREWS.
