A REVIEW OF ETHAN SMITH'S AND DAVID CAMBELL'S EXPOSITION OF THE "LITTLE HORN," AND RETURN OF THE JEWS.
WE might inquire what power this "little horn" represents. I answer, the Romans, or Daniel's fourth kingdom, as explained by the heavenly messenger, Dan. vii. 23-26.
. . .
Messrs. Smith and Cambell say that it is Mahomet. What right they have for giving a different construction, without any intimation from God, the angel, or Daniel, I cannot conceive; but when men have false theories to support, they must explain to suit their convenience.
. . .
So let Messrs. Smith and Cambell take which horn of the dilemma they please. I have shown by the plain scripture, that the SON OF MAN must come at the time specified, Dan. viii. 14.
