Excerpt from Voices From Babylon: Or the Records of Daniel the Prophet
The treatment Of these sacred Voices in the follow ing Lectures is but little in the vein of most of the commentaries and treatises on the subject. Whilst the best and worst of modern criticism and exegesis on Daniel have been consulted, and much of real worth has thus been found and appropriated, the pur pose has rather been to restate the contents of the Book in the direct import Of its own terms, and thus to revive and vindicate the Older and truer conceptions of the Church with regard to these magnificent prophecies.

The name of Babylon stands for the oldest of earthly cities and the first and most illustrious of earthly empires. It filled a large place in the early history of our present world, and possibly may figure again in its final years. According to its native etymology (B ab-E l), it means The Gate of God. Grates, in Oriental times, were the places of judgment. It was in the gates that authority spoke, whence the laws and ordinances were given out, and where causes were heard and decided. As the places of public concourse, they were also used by prophets and sages for the delivery of their messages to the people. And it is a singular fact that the great prophetic judgment upon the succession, career and final termination of worldly sovereignty was given out from the original head of world-empires, and from a primal capital whose very name denotes The Gate of God. Equally striking is the further fact that the holy prophet through whom these divine decisions and fore-announcements were made was not only an illustrious sage and courtier in this Gate of God, but that his name [D an-i-E t) means Gods Judge.
