THE TRUTH-concerning Mrs. E. G. White, Uriah Smith, and the King of the North
- URIAH SMITH, AFTER SIXTEEN YEARS TEACHING THE PIONEERS' BELIEF-THE PAPAL KING OF THE NORTH-CHANGED TO TURKEY
In "A Word to the 'Little Flock"', the old Pioneers' belief, including that of Mrs. White's, is expressed: "Michael is to stand up at the time that the last power in Chap. 11 comes to his end, and none to
help him. This power is the last that treads down the true church of God: and as the true church is still trodden and cast out by Christendom, it follows that the last oppressive power has not 'come to his end'; and Michael has not stood up. This last power that treads down the saints is brought to view in Rev. 13: 11-18. His number is 666."
The Seventh-day Adventist movement unanimously held for "the first third of the century since 1844" the belief that the Papacy was the king of the north.
THE CENTRE OF THE PROPHETIC COMPASS
Literal Israel WAS the geographic centre of prophecy:
“Thus saith the Lord GOD; This [is] Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries [that are] round about her.” Ezekiel 5:5.
However, when the kingdom of God was taken from literal Israel and given to the church, SPIRITUAL Israel (Matt 21:43, Acts 13:46, Rev 2:9), the CHURCH became the ‘geographic’ centre of prophetic terminology. As the church is global that which is said to be North or South of the church cannot be taken literally. North and South of spiritual Israel now represent spiritual ideologies - North (Babylon), South (Atheism). It is similar to the political terms “right wing” & “left wing” which do not refer to literal locations but ways of thinking.
