THE KING OF THE NORTH AT JERUSALEM

“Now comes the point in the argument upon which very much depends. Does the eleventh chapter  of the prophecy of Daniel cover the ground, measured by chapters two, seven, and eight? If so, then the last power mentioned in that chapter is Rome.” (Emphasis his.)
In a sermon on Daniel eleven delivered by Uriah Smith at Battle Creek, Michigan, he introduced the new interpretation bringing Turkey into the prophecy. At that time James White said: “Elder Smith has
given a very fine talk on the eleventh chapter of Daniel, and his interpretation seems plausible, but IF the legs of iron, and the feet of iron and clay in the second chapter represent Rome, and the nondescript, ten-horned beast, and the little horn of the seventh chapter represent Rome, and IF the little horn which waxed exceeding great of the eighth chapter represents Rome, the King of the North represents Rome also. These are four parallel prophecies, brethren, reaching down - to the coming of our Lord.” (Quoted in King of the North, by M. C. Wilcox, Mountain View, California, 1910, page 44.)
