A Commentary on the Apocalypse, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Excerpt from A Commentary on the Apocalypse, Vol. 1 That the Apocalypse is a book replete with difficulties, not only for the common reader but also for the critic and interpreter, no one will deny who has earnestly applied himself to the study of it. The sources of difficulty, in respect to the prophetic part of it, are obvious, and may easily be stated. The book is made up of one continued series of symbols, unaccompanied for the most part by such plain and explicit declarations with regard to their meaning, as are generally to be found in like cases among the prophetic writings of the Old Testament. The original and intelligent readers of this book, beyond all reasonable doubt, could understand the meaning of the writer; else why should he address his work to them? Their acquaintance with the circle of things in which he moved, and their familiarity with the objects to which he refers, superseded the use of all the critical apparatus which we must now employ. Not long, however, after the death of John, the Apocalypse appears to have been regarded as a wonderful and mysterious book, and to have given occasion to many strange and very discrepant interpretations. From that time down to the present, a similar stale of things has existed in regard to the exposition of this work. And even with all the light which recent critical study has thrown upon the Scriptures in general, there yet remains, as is generally confessed, not a little of obscurity resting upon the Apocalypse. Must this state of things always continue? This is a question of great interest to those, who believe that the Apocalypse rightfully belongs to the Canon of Scripture. Hitherto, scarcely any two original and independent expositors have been agreed, in respect to some points very important in their bearing upon the interpretation of the book. So long as the Apocalypse is regarded principally as an epitome of civil and ecclesiastical history, this must continue to be the case. Different minds will make the application of apocalyptic prophecies to different series of events, because there is something in each to which more or less of these prophecies is seemingly applicable. Such has always been the case, in past times, whenever this method of interpretation has been followed; and why should anything different from this be expected for the future? The consequence however has of course been, to create a kind of general distrust in the public mind, with regard to every effort made in order to explain the book in question.

A Commentary on the Apocalypse, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint) available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Excerpt from A Commentary on the Apocalypse, Vol. 2 His second ground of proof is, that 'the Jews so construed Is. 11: 2 as to make seven spirits out of it, all of which belong to the divine na ture.' But there the spirits mentioned are expressly affirmed to belong to the Mssz'a/z. Whence the proof is to come, that the Jews formed out of this passage the notion that God consists of seven spirits, I know not. I have searched in vain for it. The oldest evidence of the Cab balistic interpretation of the Jews, is generally admitted to be the Z0 har; certainly Cabbalism rests mainly on this work. Whether this work is in fact as old as the Mishna, as some have supposed, or even older, must be regarded as very doubtful, when any one reads the Mish na and finds it so full of superstitions and hair-splitting conceits, and yet partaking little or nothing of the spirit of Cabbalism. As the Zohar new is, there are parts of it, beyond all question, of modern date see Nordheimer in Bib. Repos. Of 1839. No. IV.

Excerpt from A Brief Commentary on the Apocalypse, Vol. 2 The Bible is its own interpreter and when practicable, scripture should be explained by scripture. The meaning imputed to any passage must never contradict, but must harmonize with that of parallel texts. In illustrating the several references in the Apocalypse to the same events and epochs, a repetition of scripture is somewhat unavoidable.

Excerpt from The Apocalypse, Vol. 1: A Series of Special Lectures on the Revelation of Jesus Christ, With Revised Text There is a Widespread prejudice against the study of the Apocalypse. Though it is the great prophetic Book of the New Testament, the last of all the writings of Inspiration, a special message from the ascended Savmur to His Churches on earth, and pressed upon every one's attention with uncommon urgency, there are religious guides, sworn to teach the whole counsel of God, Who make a merit of not understanding it, and of not Wishing to occupy themselves With it. If such treatment of an acknowledged part of the Sacred Canon is compatible With ministerial fidelity and Chris tian duty, the author of these Lectures is very much mistaken in his understanding of Christ's commands, as well as in his estimate of the purposes for Which a Divine Revelation has been given.
