Synopsis
Excerpt from Free Church of Ancient Christendom: And Its Subjugation Under Constantine
AT that great epoch in the history of mankind, the goal which antiquity reached blindfold, and the starting-point of modern times, when the light of the world began to shine in the darkness which yet comprehended it not, the last of the four mighty empires spoken of by the prophet Daniel, that of Rome, whose splendid destinies were foretold by the inspired statesman whilst as yet it lay unconscious in its cradle, had attained its giant prime. From the Pillars of Hercules to the Euphrates stretched those colossal legs of iron which bore the load of Chaldean, Persian, and Greek civilization. Its eastern neighbour, the Parthian kingdom of the Arsacidae, who ruled over the countries be tween that river and the Indus, was Rome's rival in breadth Of territory, and was dotted here and there with great cities of Hellenic origin and culture, founded in the times.
