Synopsis

We live in troubled and dangerous times. It has been a long time since there have been as many ideas and events in our world causing fear and anxiety as there are today. But one thing, in any event, is clear, and that is the duty of Christians to search more diligently than ever the prophetic Scriptures. Do not be like the Jews at the first advent who were blind to the hand of God and the fulfillment of His purposes in all that was going on in the world. Let us instead remember that the word of prophecy is given to be a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise (2 Peter 1:19). Let us walk in that light. Let us search what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them [the prophets] did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow (1 Peter 1:11). Let us compare prophecies fulfilled with prophecies unfulfilled and attempt to make the one illustrate the other. Let us strive, above all, to obtain clear views of the things we should be expecting, both in the church and the world, before the end comes and time will be no more.

In his preface, he makes a great point, one that we'd all do well to remember. "I judge nobody. I only ask liberty to hold and state distinctly my own views. The day wi......more

Goodreads review by Daniel

John Charles Ryle is quickly becoming one of my favorite preacher / theologians. He is very easy to read, but his content follows that rich stream of Puritan teaching and is saturated in Scriptural truth. This book is a collection of sermons on the end times--a topic I needed further study in. Ryle i......more

I read this book for free on Google play books. Published by Aneko Press. A book on eschatology, a very conservative one. the author didn't want to make any interpretation to the symbols in the book of revelations. the author argue that there remains a very large number of visions and emblems which t......more

Goodreads review by Christine

I have read a few books by J. C. Ryle and always find them to be very informative. Don't let the time period of his books deter you from reading them. They are still relevant to our times.......more
