Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prophecy and the Eastern Question: Being an Exhibition of the Light Shed by the Scriptures of Truth on the Matters Involved in the Crisis That Has Arrived in Eastern Affairs That in this channel, the events of the future have been foreshown is a demonstrable and important fact. The evidence is too extensive even to look at here. It will transpire in great measure in the course of the following pages. Meanwhile, it may not be without advantage to quote one or two express statements on the point: Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret to His servants the prophets.-(amos iii. There is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnez'zar what shall Come to pass in the latter days. - (dan. Ii. The revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave unto him to shew unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass, and He sent and signified it by His angel unto His servant John. - (rev. I. If these statements are true, we ought to be able to find recognizable and measurable light in the Scriptures on the leading events of history, and, therefore, on such a gigantic affair as the Eastern Question, which so radically affects and imperils great national interests, and involves the destiny of the land of Jehovah itself - now a pachalic of the threatened empire of Turkey. But it may be objected that the affairs in question are perfectly human in their character. It may be said their origin can be so exactly traced to natural causes as to exclude the possible operation of occult in uences. The Turks, it may be said, being a brutal race, have for centuries brutally treated the races that have been brought under their subjection by conquest, and that as a result, their empire is weak; and that Russia, by the operation of a perfectly natural ambition, desires possession of a desirable territory so evidently destined to fall out of Turkish hands by and bye that, therefore, it is absurd to seek for a divine view of the case, or to regard the consequent events as forming any part of a divine programme.
