I saw, far down th e coming time, The fiery chastisement of crime, W ith noise of m ingling hosts, and ja r Of falling towers, and shouts of war; I saw th e nations rise and fall, Like fire-gleams on th e whitened wall; I saw them draw the stormy hem Of b attle round Jerusalem . Who trem bled a t my warning word? Who owned th e prophet of th e Lord? O prophet of th e beating heart, For God’s g reat purpose set apart, Before whose far-discerning eyes The fu tu re as the present lies; Beyond a narrow-m inded age Stretches thy prophet’s heritage.

Prophetic students have long seen the probable form ation in th e near fu tu re of th e g reat N orthern power spoken of in Scripture.
