An Exposition Of The Apocalypse In A Series Of Discourses

Excerpt from An Exposition of the Prophecies of the Apocalypse The author having in the course of a ministry of more than twenty years made prophecy a subject of frequent reading and study, at length found time to write the following discourses. He ventures to present them to the public in the hope that they will be found to throw some additional light on the hidden sense of the apocalypse, and be in some degree instrumental in promoting attention and respect to the teachings and admonitions of that wonderful book. St. John has declared them blessed who read and hear the words of his prophecy and keep the sayings written therein. The author asks of those to whom these pages may come, that they will not prejudge them as fanciful and obscure, but give them a candid investigation.

Excerpt from The Apocalypse Explained: In Two Series of Discourses on the Entire Book of the Revelation of St. John From the time of the recommencement of the vision, historic narrative traces the events predicted, as far as fulfilled; and from thence we may ascertain how far the prophecy has run its course, and what yet remains future, and consequently, to what part of the course of the predicted events the present times are related.
