The Apocalypse Translated And Expounded By James Glasgow PDF Download

Excerpt from The Apocalypse Translated and Expounded In the Exposition now offered, the author has followed a few leading principles deduced from the Holy Scriptures, and taught in substance by various patristic and modern writers. Thus the principle that in prophecies of "the times and the seasons," "days denote years," is recognised or implied in Scott's, Henry's, and Barnes' Commentaries; in Brown's Bible with Dr. H. Cooke's Notes; and in the prophetic interpretations of the Rev. Joseph Mede, Sir I. Newton, Bishops Newton and Waldegrave, Revs. Dr. D. Brown, Dr. Fairbairn, Dr. Keith, Dr. Boothroyd, Dr. Gumming, Dr. A. M'Leod, E. B. Elliott, Jonathan Edwards, R. Culbertson, G. S. Faber, etc. Another principle closely allied to this is thus propounded by Fr. Turretine: "Christ suggested to His servant those things which were to happen even to the end of the age." And Calvin repudiates the opinion of those who sum up the kingdom of Christ in 1000 (human) years, as an error branding with contumely Christ and His kingdom. The principle of chronological continuative fulfilment of the apocalyptic prophecies is maintained by the great majority of eminent interpreters since the Reformation. The kindred principle of the spiritual nature of the first resurrection is asserted by Augustine: "All those who have part in the first resurrection lived and reigned with Christ 1000 years, that is, in the present age.
