LOOKING UNTO JESUS OR CHRIST IN TYPE AND ANTITYPE. BY ...

They were Macedonia, in the west, Thrace, in the north,
Syria, in the east, and Egypt, in the south, ruled over respectively
by Cassander, Lysimachus, Seleucus, and Ptolemy.
The kingdom of the goat dates from B.C. 331 to the time
when a succeeding power appears upon the scene, which was
B.C. 161, as we shall hereafter see. A period of one hundred
and seventy years is thus covered by this symbol. p.
153, Para. 6, [LOOKING].
SYMBOL OF THE LITTLE HORN EXPLAINED. p. 154, Para. 1,
[LOOKING].
"And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors
are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance,
and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power;
and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and
practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper
in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and
by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against
the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without
hand." Verses 23-25. p. 154, Para. 2, [LOOKING].
This little horn is unquestionably a symbol of the power
that succeeded Grecia in the dominion of the world. And
this, according to the prophecies of Daniel 2 and 7, was
Rome. Some special reasons must be given if we are to take
the ground that this prophecy does not run parallel with
the others, and from the time of its beginning bring to
view the same universal kingdoms. In this case, of course,
this little horn would represent Rome. p. 154, Para. 3,
[LOOKING].
The view is however taken by some that this prophecy is
not parallel with Daniel 2 and 7, and that the little horn
of this chapter does not symbolize Rome; but the good reasons
upon which such a view ought to rest are not forthcoming.
Romanists, to avoid the application of this part of
the prophecy to the Roman power, which includes as one of
its phases, the papacy, endeavor to shift the application
from Rome to Antiochus Epiphanes. And this lead of the papists
has been followed by the majority of Protestants,
thoughtlessly, it would seem, or for some reason of their
own. This view cannot be correct; for the reasons which
show that this applies to Rome are more clear and numerous
than those even which determine the application of the
