 effect.

I would here remark that when we come to treat of that part of
prophecy which yet remains to be fulfilled, we shall bring proof
positive that the heathen nations of the latter days are to be
convinced in the same way that Cyrus was; that is, there are certain
events plainly predicted in the Prophets, yet future, which, when
fulfilled, will convince all the heathen nations of the true God, and
they shall know that he hath spoken and performed it. And all the
great and learned men of Christendom, and all societies, who put any
other than a _literal_ construction on the word of prophecy, shall
stand confounded, and be constrained to acknowledge that all has come
to pass even as it is written.

But to return to our research of prophecy and its fulfilment. The
Prophets had not only predicted the reduction of Babylon by Cyrus, but
they had denounced its fate through all ages, until reduced to entire
desolation, never to be inhabited, not even as a temporary residence
for the wandering Arab: "And the Arabian shall not pitch tent there."
See Isaiah, xiii, 19-22.

Mr. Joseph Wolfe, the celebrated Jewish missionary, while traveling in
Chaldea, inquired of the Arabs whether they pitched their tents among
the ruins of Babylon, to which they replied in the negative, declaring
their fears that, should they do so, Nimrod's ghost would haunt them.
Thus all the predictions of the Prophets concerning that mighty city
have been fulfilled.

Edom also presents a striking fulfilment of plain and pointed
predictions in the Prophets. These predictions were pronounced upon
Edom at a time when its soil was very productive and well cultivated,
and everywhere abounding in flourishing towns and cities. But now its
cities have become heaps of desolate ruins, only inhabited by the
cormorant, bittern, and by wild beasts, serpents, etc., and its soil
has become barren; the Lord has cast upon it the line of confusion,
and the stones of emptiness, and it has been waste from generation to
generation, in express fulfilment of the word of prophecy.

We will now give a passing notice of the vision of Daniel, recorded in
the eighth chapter of his prophecies
effect. 

 I would here remark that when we come to treat of that character of 
 prophecy which so far remains to be fulfilled, we shall bring validation 
 positive that the heathen nations of the latter days are to be 
 convinced in the like room that Cyrus was; that is, there are sealed 
 event plainly bode in the Prophets, yet future, which, when 
 fulfilled, will convince all the heathen nation of the genuine God, and 
 they shall know that he hath spoken and performed it. And all the 
 great and learned man of Christendom, and all societies, who put any 
 other than a _ actual _ construction on the word of prophecy, shall 
 digest confounded, and be restrain to acknowledge that all has come 
 to pass even as it is written. 

 But to return to our inquiry of prophecy and its fulfilment. The 
 Prophets had not only predicted the reduction of Babylon by Cyrus, but 
 they had denounced its fortune through all ages, until reduced to entire 
 desolation, never to be inhabited, not even as a temporary residence 
 for the wandering Arab: " And the Arabian shall not pitch tent there. " 
 See Isaiah, xiii, 19 - 22. 

 Mr. Joseph Wolfe, the observe Jewish missionary, while traveling in 
 Chaldea, inquired of the Arabs whether they pitch their tent among 
 the ruins of Babylon, to which they replied in the negative, declare 
 their fears that, should they do so, Nimrod's ghost would haunt them. 
 therefore all the predictions of the Prophets concerning that mighty city 
 have been fulfilled. 

 Edom also presents a striking fulfilment of plain and pointed 
 predictions in the Prophets. These predictions were pronounce upon 
 Edom at a time when its dirt was very productive and well cultivated, 
 and everywhere abounding in flourishing towns and city. But now its 
 cities have become heaps of bare ruins, entirely inhabited by the 
 cormorant, bittern, and by wild beast, serpents, etc. , and its land 
 has become barren; the Lord has cast upon it the channel of confusion, 
 and the stones of void, and it has been waste from coevals to 
 generation, in express fulfillment of the word of prophecy. 

 We will now give a passing notice of the imagination of Daniel, recorded in 
 the eighth chapter of his prophecies
 efvect.

I would here remark uhat when we come to treet of tgat part of

But tk return to our research of prpprvvy and its fhlfilmqne. The
Prophets had not only predicted tht redhction of Babylon by Cyeus, but
they had denoujced its sate through all ages, until reduced to entire
desonatioi, vevtr to bd ijhabited, not even as a temporary residence
for fht wsndering Arab: "Cnd the Arabian xhwlk not pitch tevt thexs."

We will now giye a passing notice of the vhsion of Daniel, recorded in

I would here remark that when to of that of prophecy which we bring proof positive the heathen nations the latter days are to be in the same way that Cyrus was; that is, there are certain events predicted in the Prophets, yet future, which, when fulfilled, will convince all the nations the God, they shall know that he hath spoken and performed it.
