The Approaching End of the Age by H. Grattan Guinness – 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.”

History Unveiling Prophecy by H. Grattan Guinness

This is a graphic story of the gradual unveiling of the meaning of the Apocalypse in the light of the events of history.
