  18. Recapitulations: Uriah Smith • Uriah Smith • First recapitulation • Smith got this one right. • Second recapitulation • Smith went forward here rather than back. This mistake took the church on a detour that has lasted a century and a half. • If Smith’s mistake was to go forward, going forward again is not a solution. • Third recapitulation • Smith correctly relates “this time” to 11:45 rather than 11:40, but does not correctly capture the cause and effect relationship between Michael’s act of standing up and the king coming to his end.

  19. Recapitulations: Uriah Smith • Uriah Smith • Smith’s problems in Dan 11 are confined to a bloc of ten verses. • Outside 11:36-45 he was substantially correct. • Inside 11:36-45 he was badly wrong.
