Creation, Revelation, Inspiration and the Purpose of the Ages.
Excerpt: Church on Earth
1:1-9. Commission. The interest of the church in the whole.
1:10-20. Vision of Christ judging the churches.
2: 3: Moral account of the churches then in existence owned
for the last time, but judged, involving the prophetic progress of the church. She is judged in her hierarchical character in Thyatira on the one hand, spewed out of Christ’s mouth in her coldness and death on the other.
Church in Heaven
4: 5: Prophet caught up to heaven. The throne and glory there. Creation, providence, the Priesthood-Elders on thrones. The book of the inheritance received by the Lamb, but He still on the throne.
Dealings of God Upon the Earth in Providence
6:1-8. The trials or beginning of sorrows on earth, subsequent to the removal of the elect church.
6:9-11. Pleading of martyrs to be avenged of the dwellers upon earth. Respite till others are killed as they.
6:12-17. The heavens shaken. Upsetting of the secular order of all arranged and apparently stable greatness.
7: Saints owned: Jews on earth and Gentiles before the throne.
8: Silence in heaven. Preparatory judgments by providence, consequent on cry of saints below.
9: The last three woes are on the dwellers on the earth. Providential judgments of woe by the power of Satan specially let loose in earthly or providential dealings of the king of the locusts of the bottomless pit, and by the inroads of the Euphratean or northern horsemen. This is the east specifically: Anti-christ, and the northeastern or Assyrian powers acting on the land.
Half week of vengeance on the Jews. Apostate willfulness of Gentiles. Wrath of God. Destruction of beast by the Lamb. — 31/2 years
10: The three and a half years of the last week of Daniel,
11:1-3. in which Jerusalem is dealt with in testimony, the witnesses being preserved, whose worship is secured also. At the close they are killed by the beast in his last satanic form. They are taken to heaven after lying dead three days and a half.
11:14-18. Third woe; coming of the kingdom announced from heaven.
11:19. The prophecy recommences here to give the details of the
12: last days. These chapters refer to the source and character of the great parties in the conflict and therefore flow down, in principle, from the beginning. Chapter 12, had its first accomplishment in Christ Himself, but the church is to rule with Him, and this is its full application here. For this there is no date. So for the war in heaven there is none positively. Its result closes in the commencement of the three years and a half. The earthly date commences then.
Daniels last half week. The dragon’s dealings on the earth, when cast down, persecuting the woman.
13: The beast, or Roman empire.
The beast in its last apostate form, with the second beast. This last is changed into a false prophet.
14: Death, as regards the saints, is ended before the harvest and vintage begin. The redeemed from the earth, after the catching up of the church. The testimony to the nations and judgment of God on the earth or land. The harvest and vintage of the land.
15-16: The contrasted portion of those who did not, and those who did worship the beast. The wrath of God filled up on the earth.
17: Babylon and her connection with the beast. The ten horns make her desolate.
18: Her fall.
People of God summoned out of her.
Her destruction.
19: The marriage of the Lamb. He comes forth as King
