Synopsis
Clear, principled guidance on interpreting biblical prophecy
This concise work argues for a plain-language approach to Scripture, urging readers to follow established, language-based rules rather than speculative fancy. It explains why most readers should expect the times and symbols in Daniel and Revelation to be understood in their ordinary sense, and it traces the historical influence of popular but controversial methods. This edition presents the author’s aim to keep interpretation honest and consistent with common sense, offering a framework that highlights language, logic, and the natural way people understand time designations in prophecy. It also situates the discussion in a broader historical debate about how prophecy has been explained by English- and American-language scholars.
- How to distinguish plain readings from speculative or allegorical interpretations
- Why symbolic time designations are debated and how the author grounds his view
- Arguments about the origins and influence of popular prophetic methods
- Guidance on evaluating interpretations with language-based hermeneutics

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.
