Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Little Stone and the Great Image: Or, Lectures on the Prophecies Symbolized in Nebuchadnezzar´s Vision of the Golden Headed Monster "Another book on prophecy! Whence the necessity for it?" Let the reader proceed, and he may perhaps ascertain; at least, let him read the introductory Lecture, and he will possibly see reasons for the opinion that the "Revelation of Jesus Christ" is indeed a revelation; that it is not a tissue of unexplained and inexplicable mysteries; but on the contrary, that it is bona fide what it professes to be, an uncovering of the mind and will of God concerning the leading facts and dealings of his providence with his Church and the nations with whom she has come into collision. True indeed, another book; and yet I may add that it is not another; for the pretensions of this work to originality are humble. Though the prophetic portions of the sacred word have comparatively, both to their relative and absolute importance, been greatly neglected; yet he who should urge pretensions to much that is new in this field of biblical discovery, would probably produce the impression upon the minds of the learned, that his modesty and his sense were in direct proportion. Still though the leading features of prophetic interpretation must necessarily be the same; there are many portions of these writings whose meaning is not sifted and ascertained beyond a doubt; and some which have been supposed to be thus settled, may yet be misunderstood. In selecting among such expositions as lay within his reach, the author need not say that he has exercised his best judgment; and where he could find no explanation satisfactory, in whole or in part, he has endeavoured to elaborate one for himself; not on the one hand, dissenting for dissent´s sake; nor, on the other, yielding his own judgment to mere authority. He has generally, (and he supposes always in important matters) acknowledged his indebtedness to other authors; though possibly those extensively acquainted with such writings may find coincidences where there is no acknowledgment. If such cases occur, charity claims the imputation of them to defect of memory, or independence of thought, and not to intention. As to apologies for the new book, the writer is somewhat at a loss. He has never acquired celebrity in this line, nor is it probable he ever will. His opinion has long since been made up in regard to this subject; and briefly it is, that no man has a right to offer a new work to the public, unless he honestly believes that he can instruct them, and do them good.
