Excerpt from Illustrations of Prophecy, Vol. 2: In the Course of Which Are Elucidated Many Predictions, Which Occur in Isaiah, or Daniel, in the Writings of the Evangelists, or the Book of Revelation From ch. xvi. of the apocalypse a prophecy has been cited, which foretells the overthrow of a number of confederated princes. But there are prophecies yet more express. There are prophecies, which clearly announce that every antichristian government in Europe shall be destroyed. To the philanthropist such conclusions, if satisfactorily deduced from the prophetic scriptures, must be capable of imparting the purest pleasure. If I am asked, why I take so much pains to explain the prophecies, which foretell the arbitrary conduct and the subsequent destruction of the antichristian princes of Europe, I reply, that I have the highest authority for doing it, the particular recommendation of the prophet himself. At the close of the description of the ten-horned Bead, which represents these kings, St. John adds', (xiii. 9, 10.), If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Now the first of these sentences unquestionably signifies, that the reader of the apocalypse mould, to this part of it, pay a marked attention, and study it with the greatest care.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores a major set of prophesies from a foundational religious text believed to have been divinely inspired. The author argues that, while these prophesies use symbolic and figurative language, they are nonetheless capable of accurate interpretation. Specifically examined are a series of visions from the Book of Revelation that speak to the overthrow of despotic rulers of Europe. The author contends that the prophecies predict a downfall of these rulers and their empires and include insight from other ancient religious texts and early commentators. These rulers are described as tyrannical and corrupt, and the author uses the text to support this characterization and make the case that their downfall is inevitable. The book provides a unique interpretation of these ancient prophecies and will be of great interest to anyone interested in history, prophecy, or religious studies.
