Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Time of the End; Or the Slaveholders Rebellion Predicted More Than Two Thousand Years Ago by the Prophet Daniel: The Government of the United States Vindicated in Suppressing the Rebellion Prophecy was for many years a trouble to my mind. Its seeming obscurity cast around it a fear and terror, and it appeared as temerity to tread upon such hallowed ground. But an anxiety to know God´s Word in its fullness made me take even the study of the prophets and prophecy into view. And I have now to say that I could never have had so clear a sight of the plan of Redemption and of the future glory of the church as this study of the prophecy has given me. And what I once did not believe, I now most cordially embrace. That is, that Christ comes prior to the millenium to give his saints their inheritance on this earth rather than after that period. And also, that without doubt that day is so near at hand that it is both the duty and blessed privilege of every Christian to look constantly for his "appearing." Let no man be deceived. If the following pamphlet be a true construction of Daniel´s prophecy, then indeed are we upon the verge of time and of the resurrection of the righteous dead. Not because your humble servant has any foreknowledge, but because God has both the ability to foreknow and also to foretell whatsoever comes to pass. And certainly both His foreknowing and foretelling would be useless if His servants could not understand his prophets after they had transferred the vision to his people. I am one that now denies the position that the event cannot be known with certainty, before it comes to pass. This false position would cheat us out of heaven itself. For certainly both heaven and hell are subjects of prophecy; and if I am bound to believe in future rewards and punishments at the mouth of the prophets, am I not also bound to believe in future events of time? There is probably this point which has not been fully realized concerning prophecy. The Scripture simply gives the outlines of events as a general thing, and that too, oftentimes in highly figurative and symbolical language; while the event itself is brought about by the movements and ordinary circumstances of time.
