Synopsis
Ground the interpretation of prophecy in clear principles, not speculation. This concise work argues for conservative, language-based hermeneutics and invites readers to examine how predictions are read in Daniel and Revelation.
In these pages, the author clarifies the difference between ordinary time-designations and symbolic time, and critiques methods that rely on “new” or hidden meanings. The aim is a thorough, fair examination that respects established rules of language and reason, while inviting healthy discussion about prophetic interpretation.
- Clear, principle‑based approach to biblical prophecy
- Examination of how time designations are understood in key books
- Discussion of historical influences on interpretation, including Mede
- Cautions against fanciful or speculative readings
Ideal for readers of biblical theology, hermeneutics, and church history seeking a thoughtful, measured critique of common prophecy‐interpretation practices.

Product Description
Excerpt from Hints on the Interpretation of Prophecy
Particularly have such charges been made against the prophecies. These have been compared to the ambiguous vaticinations of the heathen oracles, and pronounced to be deserving of merely the same credit which is given to them by enlightened minds.
