which justice is administered and iniquity punished,
the truth discerned and the falsehood condemned; and
above all, the unity of God, the eternal rewards for
good deeds, and eternal damnation for wicked actions

is called “Justice of Peace;” that is to say, a “judge of

and the Trinitarian dominion and tyranny on the other
were eradicated and swept away entirely. There is nothing
more absurd than the assertion that Judah the Maccabeus
(Maqbhaya) was the Barnasha on the clouds, and the
Horn Antiochus. It is alleged that (if I remember aright)
Antiochus, after desecrating the Temple of Jerusalem,
lived only three years and a half -or three days and a half-
at the end of which time he perished. In the first place, we
know that Antiochus was a successor of Alexander the
Great and King of Syria, consequently one of the four
heads of the winged Tiger and not the eleventh Horn
of the fourth Beast as stated in the vision. In the eighth
