SCRIPTURAL INDICATIONS OF THE PATRIARCHAL ORIGIN OF

RELIGION AMONG THE ANTE-MAHOMETAN ARABIANS.

Belief of ancient Arabs elucidated from Scripture history.

Ishmaelites and Midianites inhabiting Arabia as one people

in time of Moses. Jethro-prince of Midian-guide

to the state of national belief. Worshipper of true God

-evident from sacred narrative. Example of patriarchal

religion among Abrahamic Arabs to the age of Moses.

Job antiquity of book author an Edomite - his faith

indisputably patriarchal. State of religion in Arabia in-

ferred from book of Job-from conversation of the inter-

locutors. Three interlocutors of the stock of Abraham.

Agree in confirming authority of Arabian tradition.

Bp. Sherlock. Persons of this sacred drama speak in

Its place in the canon of Hebrew Scripture an evidence
of connection between the faith of Jews and that of Abra-

hamic Arabians. Subsequent periods of Jewish history—

continuance in Arabia of patriarchal belief. Kenites and

Rechabites - mention of in Jeremiah. Queen of Sheba

an Arabian - her visit to Solomon connected with reli-

gion-natural inference. Gospel Magi-from Arabia-

probably of race of Abraham - their journey to Jeru-

salem its object inference confirmative of preceding

indications. Their knowledge of prophetic sign of Christ

favoured with direct communication from heaven.

CRITICAL REMARKS ON THE SEVERAL APPLICATIONS OF

THE PROPHECY, DAN. VIII. 9-25.

Relative merits of views taken of this prediction — An-

tiochus Epiphanes Romans - Mahonictanism. Ob-

jections to last application examined - disproved —

equally applicable to Rome. Type of little horn far more

appropriate to Mahometan tyranny than to Roman power.

Chronology of vision. Rise of horn certainly posterior

to age of Antiochus or of Vespasian - its period appa-

rently fixed by Dan. xi. 40. Latter prophecy interpreted

by Sir Isaac Newton, and by Bp. Newton, of Saracens.

Agreement of rise of Mahometan apostasy with chrono-

logy of vision-with that of parallel symbol and apostasy,

Dan. vii. Conclusion of Mr. Whitaker arrived at by a

different process. Germinant interpretation - admits se-

veral applications of same prophecy. In this sense, little

horn may include all the received applications. Table of

comparative correspondences with type. Inference left

with the reader.

PROOFS OF THE IDENTITY OF THE CRUSADES WITH DANIEL'S

66 TIDINGS OUT OF THE NORTH."

Interpretation supported by the geographical and historical

evidences. Geographical positions — of Europe—of chief

powers engaged-of Turkish kingdom of Roum. Line

of march of crusaders. Geography accurately corresponds

with prophecy. Historical fulfilment in the crusades.

Colonization of Europe from the North at the fall of

Roman empire at subsequent periods. Normans -

latest northern conquerors

flower of crusading armies.

Achievements of Tancred — of Bohemond- of Robert of

Normandy of Richard Cœur de Lion. Norman standard

first planted on the walls of Antioch

on those of

Jerusalem. Norman principality of Antioch a thorn in

the side of Turks. Accomplishment of prediction stated

in the words of Saracenic historians — in the words of

Mr. Gibbon.
