Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Unfolding of the Ages in the Revelation of John In the following pages the Apostolic authorship of the Book of Revelation is accepted on the ground of its having been proved thoroughly and convincingly by competent scholarship. Such has been the belief of the great majority of Christians in all ages. The first denial of this was made in the second century by the heretical Alogi, and a revival of the early attempt to find another John than the Apostle has not succeeded in changing the general opinion. The writer of the fourth Gospel was inspired by the Holy Spirit to write the Apocalypse, and this fact guarantees the title of the book to a place in the sacred canon. Reference is here made to the different schools of interpretation, not for the purpose of giving any account of apocalyptic commentators, but in order to indicate the reason for adhering to the plan followed in the exposition of the book. The Præterists, as the term implies, believe that the whole book, or at least nearly everything in it that claims to be prediction, has already been fulfilled. Such a theory is comparatively of recent origin, and was not even thought of by the early Christian Fathers. It is set aside by the writer for the all-sufficient reason that the predictions of the book are in the plainest possible terms connected with the Second Coming of Christ, and must therefore be viewed in their obvious relation to that event.
