Synopsis

Excerpt from Discourses Showing the Structure and Unity of the Apocalypse, Vol. 1 of 3

From the flood to the birth of Christ, affairs ran on in a similar course. The church of God was tempted and seduced, or persecuted and oppressed by her enemies. But by the gracious interpositions Of her God she was delivered; and by his might, made victorious. In herself she is weak, but in the Lord and in the power of his might, she is strong. The church makes her first appearance as a body of any considerable magnitude, during this period, in Egypt, where she is persecuted and oppressed, and all her members treated as bondmen and slaves. Pha raoh, the chief agent in this persecution, is, on account Of his voracious and unrelenting cruelty, called a Dragon. From his face the church fled into the wilderness; and he, in attempting to follow, was overwhelmed and carried awav of the flood. In the wilderness she was opposed by the arms of Moab, and by the counsel of Balaam.

Product Description

Excerpt from Discourses Showing the Structure and Unity of the Apocalypse, Vol. 1 of 3 The Apocalypse presents a view of church history, from the days of John to the consummation of all things. No event that is of magnitude or importance in itself, or productive of great consequences in advancing or retarding the progress of religion, in ameliorating or deteriorating the condition of human society, is omitted in this Divine delineation of what was to befall the people of God in the latter days. And we cannot expect that events which leave religion and human society as they found them, are to be distinctly noticed here, although to men in whose days they happened, they may have seemed of great importance, and pregnant with consequences which they believed should extend to all coming generations.
