Continue reading →He is that “wicked” whom the Lord “shall consume with the Spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming.” The “Spirit or breath of his mouth,” is His Word—the preaching of the Gospel.
Continue reading →God’s revelation of Himself to man has been a progressive one.—Truth in general has been revealed progressively.—Prophecy, the divine history of the future, consists of a series of progressive revelations.—Practical results of the comprehension and application of this principle.
Continue reading →Martin Luther proved, by the revelations of Daniel and St. John, by the epistles of St. Paul, St. Peter, and St. Jude, that the reign of Antichrist, predicted and described in the Bible was the Papacy.
Continue reading →The volume now presented to the Christian public, consists as will be observed, of four parts: the first is commended to the candid consideration of those who have not yet received the truth of the premillennial advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, the second and third take that truth as proved and granted, and address themselves especially to those who, holding premillennial views, are still looking for the manifestation of Antichrist, prior to the visible advent of Christ, those who adopt a literal interpretation of the Apocalyptic prophecies, including their chronological features—in other words, to the futurist school of prophetic interpreters.

In such a situation he would have no occasion to give himself any concern about them, further than to keep the peace among them, in the same manner as among the rest of his subjects; that is, to hinder them from persecuting, abusing, or oppressing one another. But it is quite otherwise in countries where there is an established or governing religion. The sovereign can in this case never be secure, unless he has the means of influencing in a considerable degree the greater part of the teachers of that religion.
Continue reading →Revelation 17 is introductory to the judgment on Babylon, and explanatory to St. John, as the symbolic man, of its causes and reasonableness. This is God’s usual method when about to execute any very notable act of vengeance. He shows His Church its justice beforehand, thus vindicating His honour, and warning such of His people as may have been deceived to separate themselves in order to escape imminent doom.
Continue reading →This, the last Vial of Judgment, is poured out “upon the air” or atmosphere of the Apocalyptic world. As the natural atmosphere is the region of storms, the medium through which the heavenly luminaries shine on us, and the element we breathe, a great physical disturbance in the air must affect it in each of these functions; and if it be thus in the symbol, so must it be likewise in what is symbolised.
Continue reading →Each chapter of the book of Isaiah has something in it that corresponds with the book of the Bible it represents sequentially. I shows the Bible has a supernatural Source – God Almighty!
Continue reading →The Dragon is that old serpent the Devil. The Beast, or rather the Beast’s Eighth Ruling Head, is the succession of the Popes of Rome. The False Prophet represents the Priesthood.
Continue reading →The serious student will want to study the Biblical text and develop his personal understanding with some assurance. To do this, it is absolutely necessary to know and apply sound principles of biblical interpretation.
Continue reading →When a new pope chooses his papal name, it’s never a coincidence. It’s a deliberate act meant to signal who he admires, what values he upholds, and what kind of papacy he intends to lead. So when Cardinal Robert Prevost chose the name Leo XIV, it wasn’t just a tribute, it was a message. He is aligning himself with Pope Leo XIII, who reigned from 1878 to 1903 and was known as the Social Pope.
Continue reading →In order to get a true and complete view of this great antagonist of Christ and of His Church, we have to bring together the several prophecies and instructions given by the Holy Spirit, for the purpose of guiding in a sure path those who really desire to learn.
Continue reading →Martin Luther was a man for the whole world. While he was a German of the Germans, this was only because he realized most powerfully the genius of his environment. He saw life acutely, and he saw it whole. The great truth he brought to light had in it nothing peculiar to the German spirit. In it he grasped an original and universal Christian idea, quite beyond all race limitations.
Continue reading →There is a growing disillusionment on the part of many Christians with the systems of prophetic interpretation most visible in the literature of the predominant evangelical and fundamentalist presses.
Continue reading →The full settlement of our Lord’s Kingdom on the earth, even after His glorious appearing, may be—nay, must be—a work of some time. We are not told what interval will elapse between the destruction of His foes by His actual appearing and the firm establishment and organisation of His Kingdom, but for this it is reasonable to allow some space of time.
Continue reading →Luther’s thought of the pope as the Antichrist was absolutely vital to the Reformation. And what is happening today to the Protestant churches as they turn away embarrassed from this stance? Certainly much of evangelicalism and fundamentalism can no longer consider itself Protestant in the original shape of its identity.
Continue reading →While all civilized peoples share Luther’s heritage, yet especially here in America have we fallen heir to it. The principles of human freedom for which he battled have been embodied in our institutions as in no other country.
