The Approaching End of the Age – Part III. Foretold and Fulfilled. Chapter I.
We have been contemplating the two mysteries of the Apocalypse. The word “mystery” signifies something spiritual; it here describes a church, The first mystery is explained to us by Christ Himself: “The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest; the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest, are the seven churches.” The second mystery is explained also: “I will tell thee the mystery of the woman. The woman is that great city which reigneth over the kings of the earth.”

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.

The Apostle John represents this apostate Church as corrupting the nations of the earth, and its head as ruling over them. He represents the woman as sitting upon “many waters,” and the angel explains that the waters are “peoples and nations.” He represents her also as sitting on and upborne by the Roman beast—another expression of the same thing.

The Divine Programme of The World’s History By H. Grattan Guinness
It is our earnest desire that the present work may prove helpful to many. When the Rock of history is struck by the Rod of prophecy, there flow forth living waters. Such are ever needed, and refreshing. Evermore shines on the instructed mind the sacred truth—God is in Christ, reconciling the world; and Christ is in history, its Alpha and Omega, its beginning, its centre, and its end.

This is a graphic story of the gradual unveiling of the meaning of the Apocalypse in the light of the events of history. It traces this development through eighteen centuries, from the days of the apostolic and martyr Church to those of the mediaeval Church, the Reformation Church, and the Church of modern times. It is a history of the gradual evolution during eighteen centuries, under the influence of historical facts, of that system of interpretation which has commended itself to the most temperate and enlightened minds, Historicism.
