Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Commentary on the Apocalypse, Vol. 1 That the Apocalypse is a book replete with difficulties, not only for the common reader but also for the critic and interpreter, no one will deny who has earnestly applied himself to the study of it. The sources of difficulty, in respect to the prophetic part of it, are obvious, and may easily be stated. The book is made up of one continued series of symbols, unaccompanied for the most part by such plain and explicit declarations with regard to their meaning, as are generally to be found in like cases among the prophetic writings of the Old Testament. The original and intelligent readers of this book, beyond all reasonable doubt, could understand the meaning of the writer; else why should he address his work to them? Their acquaintance with the circle of things in which he moved, and their familiarity with the objects to which he refers, superseded the use of all the critical apparatus which we must now employ. Not long, however, after the death of John, the Apocalypse appears to have been regarded as a wonderful and mysterious book, and to have given occasion to many strange and very discrepant interpretations. From that time down to the present, a similar stale of things has existed in regard to the exposition of this work. And even with all the light which recent critical study has thrown upon the Scriptures in general, there yet remains, as is generally confessed, not a little of obscurity resting upon the Apocalypse. Must this state of things always continue? This is a question of great interest to those, who believe that the Apocalypse rightfully belongs to the Canon of Scripture. Hitherto, scarcely any two original and independent expositors have been agreed, in respect to some points very important in their bearing upon the interpretation of the book. So long as the Apocalypse is regarded principally as an epitome of civil and ecclesiastical history, this must continue to be the case. Different minds will make the application of apocalyptic prophecies to different series of events, because there is something in each to which more or less of these prophecies is seemingly applicable. Such has always been the case, in past times, whenever this method of interpretation has been followed; and why should anything different from this be expected for the future? The consequence however has of course been, to create a kind of general distrust in the public mind, with regard to every effort made in order to explain the book in question.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Commentary on the Apocalypse, Vol. 2 His second ground of proof is, that 'the Jews so construed Is. 11: 2 as to make seven spirits out of it, all of which belong to the divine na ture.' But there the spirits mentioned are expressly affirmed to belong to the Mssz'a/z. Whence the proof is to come, that the Jews formed out of this passage the notion that God consists of seven spirits, I know not. I have searched in vain for it. The oldest evidence of the Cab balistic interpretation of the Jews, is generally admitted to be the Z0 har; certainly Cabbalism rests mainly on this work. Whether this work is in fact as old as the Mishna, as some have supposed, or even older, must be regarded as very doubtful, when any one reads the Mish na and finds it so full of superstitions and hair-splitting conceits, and yet partaking little or nothing of the spirit of Cabbalism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Apocalypse, Vol. 1: A Series of Special Lectures on the Revelation of Jesus Christ, With Revised Text There is a Widespread prejudice against the study of the Apocalypse. Though it is the great prophetic Book of the New Testament, the last of all the writings of Inspiration, a special message from the ascended Savmur to His Churches on earth, and pressed upon every one's attention with uncommon urgency, there are religious guides, sworn to teach the whole counsel of God, Who make a merit of not understanding it, and of not Wishing to occupy themselves With it. If such treatment of an acknowledged part of the Sacred Canon is compatible With ministerial fidelity and Chris tian duty, the author of these Lectures is very much mistaken in his understanding of Christ's commands, as well as in his estimate of the purposes for Which a Divine Revelation has been given.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Commentary on the Apocalypse To the seven churches of protonsq Asia is the work which the writer has undertaken inscribed. The names of these (l: 11) is a pledge for the importance of the churches addressed. Whether the churches of that day in Asia were limi ted to this number, is a question easily solved; for in Col. 4: 13 the church at Hi erupolis is mentioned in connection With that at Laodicea, and the former is in the near neighbourhood of the latter. Colossae, also was in the immediate neighbour hood of Laodicea. All three were on the confines of Phrygia and Lydia, and be longed, no doubt, to the circle of proconsular Asia. 80, a few years later than when the Apocalypse was written, we know there were large and flourishing churches in Tralles where lgnatius lived, and at Magnesia in its near neighbour hood, both in Lydia and but a moderate distance from Ephesus. Whether the Apocalyptist was conversant with these, and with many other churches of Asia besides those mentioned in the Revelation, cannot bedecided by express evidence but the probability surely is, that such a man as John, (whether apostle or other preacher of the gospel), would not have founded, or formed acquaintance with, seven churches only in Asia, when the whole region was filled with cities and an immense population. There must be other reasons, then, why only sea-en church es are here addressed and these Will be the subject of discussion in the sequel when we come to v. Asia is a name to which very different meanings are attached, by different writers and at different periods of time. It means, (1) The whole eastern Con tinent.

Mysia, Phrygia, Lycaonia, Lydia, Carin, Pisidia, and the southern coast, i. C. All the western, south-western, and southern parts of Asia Minor. (4) In the New Testament, the western coast from M ysia downwards, with the inland country to a considerable distance back, comprehending the western part of Phrygia, appears to be named flsia; and this tract constituted proconsular Asia, in the narrow meaning of that appellation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rationale Apocalypticum, Vol. 1: Or, a Systematic Exposition of the Apocalypse; With Historical Proofs and Illustrations The increased interest felt Of late years on the subject of prophecy, is one of the remarkable Signs of the times. This increased interest has been especially manifested in the publication of numerous commentaries on the Revelation since the commencement of the present century. Nearly thirty have come under my own Observation; and the actual number is probably much greater. It might be supposed, that so much having been written within so short a period on a single book of Scripture, the subject must by this time be more than exhausted, and that no additional light beyond what the many expositions of the Apocalypse already published afford, can be expected at present. This, however, is altogether a mistaken impression. I am disposed to think that the constant publication Of new commentaries in rapid succession, one after the other, differing very much in their schemes of interpretation, indicates, not that the subject is exhausted, but rather that much yet remains to be done, and that, in fact, the fundamental principles on which the Apocalyptic visions are constructed, as well as the meaning and application of some of its most important symbolizations, have yet to be brought to light.

Excerpt: ... greatly augmented by personal feelings, and doctrinal views, and the fashionable criticism of the day. Nor is this remark to be limited to any one party. Some of the advocates of the Apocalypse have, at times, employed but sorry reasoning in its defence. Moreover, it has often been assailed with a spirit, which, acting consistently with itself, would cover with midnight darkness the genuineness of every ancient book. Let us try, in our course, to impinge neither upon Scylla nor Charybdis. If all be not won, something perhaps may be gained; and every step that is fairly taken in advance, brings us somewhat nearer the desired goal. Before proceeding to a particular examination of the internal phenomena of the Apocalypse, and comparing its style and diction with those of John's other books, it is proper to make some general remarks on the principles by which our judgment ought to be guided on this occasion. I do not expect to advance any positions which are new and strange, and thus to appeal to the credulity rather than to the understanding of the reader. But it is proper to place before him some landmarks by which I shall endeavour to steer my course, in order that he may see whether a safe and judicious course is taken to arrive at the end proposed. 20. Principles to be regarded in judging of the style and diction of the Apocalypse. (1) It is now agreed on all hands, among intelligent critics, that the Apocalypse, as has more than once been said, is essentially A Book Of Propheric Poetry. Nearly all the prophecy of the Old Testament is Hebrew poetry; and even that which is not strictly so, retains much of the spirit, manner, and diction of poetry. The Hebrew has even a kind of poetic dialect; i. e. there are some words, forms of...

Thus the leisure and Opportunity for research that he had needed were brought unexpectedly within his reach: and the strongly urged request of his excellent friend Mr. Bick ersteth, concurred with the previous inclination of his own mind, in deciding him to apply himself seriously to the Work. The difficulty of the Seals met him at the outset. For the most careful reconsideration of the subject only confirmed him in his conviction of the utter untenable ness of the several solutions of them Offered by the best known Protestant Expositors: alike that by Mr. Faber on one theory Of Apocalyptic structure, that by Messrs. Woodhouse, Cuninghame, and Bickersteth on another, and (in so far as regarded the three earlier Seals) that by Mede and Bishop Newton also, on yet another. Thus he felt himself positively compelled on this introductory part of the prophecy to seek a truer solution. And in commencing his researches after it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discourses Showing the Structure and Unity of the Apocalypse, Vol. 1 of 3 From the flood to the birth of Christ, affairs ran on in a similar course. The church of God was tempted and seduced, or persecuted and oppressed by her enemies. But by the gracious interpositions Of her God she was delivered; and by his might, made victorious. In herself she is weak, but in the Lord and in the power of his might, she is strong. The church makes her first appearance as a body of any considerable magnitude, during this period, in Egypt, where she is persecuted and oppressed, and all her members treated as bondmen and slaves. Pha raoh, the chief agent in this persecution, is, on account Of his voracious and unrelenting cruelty, called a Dragon. From his face the church fled into the wilderness; and he, in attempting to follow, was overwhelmed and carried awav of the flood. In the wilderness she was opposed by the arms of Moab, and by the counsel of Balaam. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
