“That we are in the time of the end when the book of this prophecy should no longer be sealed, but be open and understood, is shown by Rev. 10:1, 2, where a mighty angel is seen to come down from Heaven with a little book in his hand open. For proof that the little book, there said to be open, is the book here closed up and sealed, and that that angel delivers his message in this generation, see ‘Thoughts on Revelation,’ 10:2.” (Page 389)
“Was this the blessing? Listen to the Saviour’s words: ‘Blessed are your eyes,’ said he to his disciples, ‘for they see; and your ears, for they hear.’ Matt. 13:16. And again he told his followers that prophets and kings had desired to see the things which they saw, and had not seen them. But ‘blessed,’ said he to them, ‘are the eyes which see the things that ye see.’ Luke 10:23, 24. If a new and glorious truth was a blessing in the days of Christ to those who received it, why not equally so in a.d. 1843?” (Page 397)
“The ‘words’ and the ‘book’ here spoken of, doubtless refer to the things which had been revealed to Daniel in this prophecy.” (Page 387)
“The daily desolation was paganism, the abomination of desolation is the papacy” (Page 325)
“that is, not to be specially studied, or to any great extent understood,” (Page 387)
