The book Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation by Uriah Smith [also known as Daniel and the Revelation] has been relegated to the trash heap of history in modern circles. Modern thinkers, theologians, and pastors, conclude that although the book was good for its time and had some truth, it is now outdated and irrelevant, and its interpretations of prophecy no longer fit the current world situation. In fact, some have gone so far as to call the author a satanic jesuit.
Those that say that they accept the book as truth are thought to hold fringe ideas and two camps have developed. However, the difference between the two sides is more than a book. Each side believes in a different interpretation of certain verses in the prophetic books of Daniel and Revelation, and each side follows a different set of interpretive principles for coming to their conclusions.
