Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Papacy in the 19th Century: Or, Popery What It Is, What It Aims at and What It Is Doing "And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration." The book of Revelation may be divided into two parts. The first showing the state of the church at the time of the solemn address to the seven churches of Asia: the second the future state of the church contained in the book sealed with seven seals, which John saw opened. This, which may be called the book of Gods counsels, contains the future state of the church in seven successive periods. The vision, from which our text is taken, announces, in detail, the final afflictions of the great harlot which had corrupted Christendom, which in verse 18, is defined to be the city that governed the world. The visions in the preceding chapters were directed to the Papacy, or general dominion of Popery over Christendom; the vision of the 17th chapter narrows itself to Rome, the capital of idolatry. She is seen under the usual emblem of a female figure - her system is splendid, profligate, and idolatrous. She is the mother of all the idolatries and impurities of worship throughout the Christian world. In our text she is represented as stained and intoxicated with the blood of the people of God. "I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and I wondered with great admiration," or deep astonishment. Her magnificence and power over mankind are calculated to excite the wonder of the world. The angel interprets the symbol of "the beast on which the woman sits," as the Papacy whose religion, grand and imposing, is but another name for Paganism. Its birthplace is the "bottomless pit," and to the bottomless pit it shall return. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
