The United States in the Light of Prophecy

CHAPTER Ten
7/29

What is it?
It would be naturally looked for in some of the special characteristics of the papal power.

Daniel, describing that power under the symbol of a little horn, speaks of it as waging a special warfare against God, wearing out the saints of the Most High, and thinking to change times and laws.

The prophet expressly specifies on this point: "He shall _think_ to change times and laws." These laws must certainly be the laws of the Most High.

To apply it to human laws, and make the prophecy read, "And he shall speak great words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and think to change human laws," would be doing evident violence to the language of the prophet.

But to apply it to the laws of God, and let it read, "And he shall speak great words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change the times and laws of the Most High"-- then all is consistent and forcible.
