In the nineteenth century, as human society changed at an unprecedented pace, interest in how biblical prophecy might be fulfilled skyrocketed. Many groups began anticipating an imminent apocalypse. Responding to the demand for literature on prophetic Scriptures and several failed predictions of Christ’s coming, Josiah Litch wrote this explanation of the various prophetic events that occur in Daniel and Revelation. His exposition reflects the evolving futurist view of prophecy that proliferated in later decades.

Josiah Litch (1809–1896) was an American Methodist Episcopal preacher. He was best known for his involvement in the Millerite movement. He is also the author of Christ Yet to Come, The Doctrine of Everlasting Punishment, and The Premillennial Advent Vindicated.

  • Pages: 375

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Baptist minister Isaac Taylor Hinton illustrates a historicist view of how the prophecies in Daniel and Revelation are representative of five empires: the Babylonians, the Persians, the Greeks, the Catholic Church, and the true church. Hinton attempts to remain faithful to Scripture, while avoiding the superstition that pervaded the church regarding prophecy in the nineteenth century. He also summarizes the views of other nineteenth-century scholars, providing a glimpse into the landscape of biblical studies at the time.

Isaac Taylor Hinton (1799–1847) was the pastor of the First Baptist Church in New Orleans. He is the author of A History of Baptism from Inspired and Uninspired Writings.
