[Footnote A: This instrument consists of two transparent stones, clear as crystal, set in the two rims of a bow, and was always used in ancient times by persons called seers, and through it, they received revelations of things past and to come. See also Glossary of Antiquities, etc., at pp. 386 and 387 of Helps to the Study of the Bible.—Oxford press.]
[Footnote B: These Lamanites are the American Indians, and belong to the tribe of Ephraim, and are therefore Israelites.]
[Footnote C: Rev. 14: 6.]
[Footnote D: Isaiah 29:11.]
[Footnote E: Isaiah 29: 4.]
[Footnote F: Daniel 2: 34, 35, 45.]
[Footnote G: Daniel certainly speaks of the latter days, for the ten kings he alludes to represent the ten toes of the image which were to come after the falling to pieces of the fourth kingdom, or Roman Empire. Christ was on the earth during the time of the kings mentioned by Daniel as representing the ten toes of the image, so this kingdom, which God was to set up, and which was to grow and stand for ever, was a kingdom subsequent to the days of Christ upon earth—Read carefully Daniel 2: 31 to 45.]
[Footnote H: Daniel 2: end of verse 45.]
