Signs of the Times Magazine for June, 1909
By Editor
There have been most stirring events during the last month, and some leading men of international fame have made some striking statements concerning them. These events that are so literally fulfilling prophecy are reviewed in Current Topics of the June number of the Signs of the Times magazine, and make that a very important feature. The Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy
M. C. Wilcox shows how the records of old Babylon, Assyria, and Egypt are being brought out to fulfil the Word of God, and to silence the infidels and critics. Ten illustrations help to make this article impressive. The following is a brief description of these illustrations:— No. 1.—Fragment of a baked clay tablet inscribed with the Babylonian account of the deluge, confirming the Scripture account. No. 2.—Baked clay cylinder of Nabonidus, one of the kings of Babylon. No. 3.—Inscription of Hammurabi, the Amraphel of Genesis 14. No. 4.—One side of the Black Obelisk set up by Shalmaneser II, King of Assyria, to record the victories of the thirty-one military expeditions of his reign. No. 5.—A cylinder of Cyrus inscribed with an account of the capture of the city of Babylon, confirming the record in the book of Daniel. No. 6.—A portion of a stele of Pharaoh Mer Neptah, mentioning Israel in Egypt. No. 7.—A bas-relief of Sargon II, and the capture of Samaria. No. 8.—Clay cylinder of Sennacherib, confirming the story of Sennacherib’s invasion as recorded in 2 Kings 18:13-15. No. 9.—An inscribed cylinder of Nebuchadnezzar, referring to his restoration of the tower of Babel and the building of the edifices in Babylon. See Dan. 4:29, 30. No. 10.—A record which mentions the death of Belshazzar, confirming the account of Daniel 5. Following this excellent article by Elder Wilcox, we have one from Mrs. E. G. White, on the “Sufferings of Christ in Gethsemane;” another from George McCready Price, telling the “Story of Creation as Revealed in the Bible;” a Bible Reading by Elder J. O.
