Book Description

Excerpt from Twelve Lectures on the Great Events of Unfulfilled Prophecy: Which Still Await Their Accomplishments, and Are Approaching Their Fulfillment The author of the following treatise on unfulfilled Prophecy was induced, more than twenty years ago, (in consequence of an unsuccessful attempt to explain a Prophecy to a layman who inquired its meaning, ) to give more earnest heed than before to those things which the prophets have spoken. He felt this to be a duty as well as pleasure on two accounts: 1. That he might inform and satisfy himself what the great purposes of God concerning the future were; and 2. Be able, as a public teacher of God's word, to show inquirers after truth the things (as he might discover them) which shall be hereafter, according to the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God. Dark as the subject at first appeared to his mind, constant application and research brought increasing light and clearer views, until at last he began to speak with that confidence which one obtains who feels assured that he has been brought out of darkness into light, and that his eyes have been opened to "behold wondrous things out of God's law." Fully aware of the dangers as well as difficulties of this branch of sacred study, he has not been intimidated by either, but trusting in the promise that they who seek for truth in God's word as for hid treasure, shall find it, he has persevered in searching into the deep things of God - things declared to be "hidden from the wise and the prudent," but promised to be "revealed unto babes."
