Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Revelation of John the Divine: Or, a New Theory of Apocalypse The Revelation of John the Divine is exceedingly figurative; and, if viewed simply as a specimen of composition, it is replete with interest. As in man we contemplate the crowning feat of creative power, so in the Apocalypse we find the finishing strokes of the pen of inspiration. "One star differeth from another star in glory," and it was meet that God´s Book should conclude with a production so inimitable. Other prophets have employed language equally sublime; but none of them are comparable to the Apocalypse in the grandeur of its conception. No other drama, sacred or profane, will at all compare with this, in the plot or design of the work. David and Hiram were to Solomon´s temple, what some of the ancient prophets were to John´s Revelation. Ezekiel, for instance, was instrumental in adducing for subsequent use quite a fund of metaphors. He does indeed methodize to some extent, especially where the metaphors had a local and specific reference. But human ingenuity has never yet been able to discover any systematic unity in the prophecy as a whole. It is like that pristine light, (Gen. i. 3,) which illuminated the world, before the formation of the heavenly bodies in systematic order, (as in Gen. i. 14.)
