Excerpt from The Apocalypse Explained: In Two Series of Discourses on the Entire Book of the Revelation of St. John From the time of the recommencement of the vision, historic narrative traces the events predicted, as far as fulfilled; and from thence we may ascertain how far the prophecy has run its course, and what yet remains future, and consequently, to what part of the course of the predicted events the present times are related. It is this which renders the book of Revelation so very interesting a study. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
