The Roman Empire in the Light of Prophecy-The Rise, Progress, and End of the Fourth World-empire is a classic bible prophecy study by W.E. Vine. The following pages are the outcome of several conversations with inquirers shortly after the outbreak of the great war, in 1914, and of requests for notes of the views expressed. The subject of these conversations had occupied the earnest if intermittent attention of the writer for over twenty years.
