"I have been systematically working through
reading the... Reformed CDs I purchased. I must say, there is nothing like
them available anywhere. It is the most amazing collection of works I know of
in one package to date... The Puritan and Reformed material presented on these CDs
is exceptional. I am continually amazed at the depth and breadth of information
in both collections, and the rarity of works that I now have at my fingertips.
You have done an immeasurable service for the Kingdom of Christ in making these
CDs available, and every pastor and theologian should own them without question
(they would be foolhardy to pass them by) ... more"

This
CD contains:
ELLIOTT,
E.B.
Horae
Apocalypticae; or, A Commentary on the Apocalypse, Critical and
Historical; Including Also An Examination of the Chief Prophecies of Daniel.
Illustrated by an Apocalyptic Chart, and Engravings from Medals and Other
Extant Monuments of Antiquity. With Appendices: Containing, Besides Other
matters, A Sketch of the History of Apocalyptic Interpretation, Critical
Reviews of the Chief Apocalyptic Counter-Schemes, and Indices. (4
volumes, 1862)
All the major Reformers and all
the major Reformation creeds and confessions adopted the historicist position
-- and it is this position that Elliott so skillfully defends. Included in Horae Apocalypticae you will also find a very useful
historical survey of who held which positions concerning eschatology, much
history on the Roman empire (and its interaction with Christianity), how the
Reformation, Islam, etc., were prophesied in the Apocalypse, a world chronology according to the
Hebrew Scriptures (which would make the Earth 6127 years old), patristic views
of prophecy, the beast and his mark (666) revealed, and much more. The
Papacy is also shown to be the apocalyptic antichrist, which was a standard
position among the Reformers.
Elliott also deals with Moses Stuart's Preterism.
Concerning Elliott's Horae
Apocalypticae H. Gratton
Guinness, writes, "The 'Horae Apocalypticae' of Elliott, which may well
be considered as the most important and valuable commentary of the Apocalypse
which has ever been written,
was also called into existence by Futurist attacks on the Protestant
interpretation of prophecy (and the same would apply in our day, but even more
so, as the classic Protestant system of interpretation for the book of
Revelation is still being undermined by the Jesuit inspired Futurist system,
but also, increasingly [even in so-called "Reformed" circles] by the
other Jesuit inspired system: Preterism!--RB)."
"His Horae
Apocalypticae
(Hours with the Apocalypse) [literally 'time with the Apocalypse'] is doubtless
the most elaborate work ever produced on the Apocalypse... Begun in 1837, its 2500 pages of often
involved and overloaded text are buttressed by some 10,000 invaluable
references to ancient and modern works bearing on the topics under
discussion.... Perhaps its most unique feature is the concluding sketch of
the rise and spread of the Jesuit counter systems of interpretation that had
made such inroads upon Protestantism" (http://www.historicist.com/horae.htm).
"When he (Spurgeon--ed.) reaches the book of Revelation his
clear recommendation is E.B. Elliott's Horae Apocalypticae. He succinctly
states that it was "the standard work". It would surprise most Baptists today to realize
that this most eminent Baptist preacher was himself an Historicist or
Continuist as he called it then. Elliott's work was the standard work in 1878
because the Historicist interpretation was still the standard in Protestantism
and this work had gone through 4 editions and had established itself as the
standard within the Historicist school" (http://www.historicist.com).
2611 pages, with a 29 page
index.
M'LEOD,
ALEXANDER
Lectures
Upon the Principal Prophecies of the Revelation (1814)
David Steele writes, "I can
again cordially recommend to his attention the Lectures of Doctor M'Leod, as the
best exposition of those
parts of the Apocalypse of which he treats, that has come under my
notice."
EDWARDS,
JONATHAN
The
History of Redemption
"[A] massive theological
treatise in the form of history,"
notes Christian History
magazine (Vol. 4, No. 4, p. 6). Furthermore, regarding Edwards' work on this
book, CH states,
"To prepare himself for the task, he read every historical work he
could lay his hands on. He planned to trace the workings of God from Creation
to his own day."
Edwards chronicles God's mercy and faithfulness to His Church and the
destruction of His enemies. Written from the older postmillennial perspective,
useful insights abound. 359 pages.
BROWN,
DAVID
Christ's
Second Coming: Will It Be Premillennial? (1882, 1990)
One of the most devastating
books ever written against premillennialism, written by a former
premillennialist. The New
Schaff-Herzog Religious Encyclopedia
observed, this work is widely regarded "a classic."
BROWN,
DAVID
The
Restoration of the Jews (1861, 1990)
The bulk of the book consists
of David Brown's classic work focusing on Romans 11, The Restoration of the
Jews (1861). This is the same David Brown that had a
hand in the Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary and whose "most enduring work... Christ's
Second Coming: Will It Be Premillennial? ...remains the classic evangelical polemic against
premillennialism" (Dictionary
of Scottish Church History and Theology, p. 97). In short, this book demonstrates that Scripture
teaches (and the best Reformation theologians concur) that the future will be
most glorious for the Jews -- when they, as a people, are drawn by God's
irresistible grace to the Lord Jesus Christ.
BROWN,
DAVID
The
Apocalypse: Its Structure and Primary Predictions (1891)
Nearly 50 years after he penned
one of the most devastating refutations of premillennialism ever seen (Christ's
Second Coming: Will It Be Premillennial?), this ex-premil (after repeated solicitations to do so)
penned this book. It deals specifically with the book of Revelation from a
historicist, postmillennial position.
STACY,
JAMES
Hand-book
of Prophecy, Containing a Brief Outline of the Prophecies of Daniel and John,
Together with a Critical Essay on the Second Advent
A historicist work, by a
Presbyterian, written in the early twentieth century, which proposes to give
"a brief outline of the prophecies of John, as set forth in the book of
Revelation, and as usually held by leading interpreters." Includes helpful charts, tables
and diagrams and compares some of the major differences between systems of
eschatology.
MEDE,
JOSEPH
The
Apostasy of the Latter Times: In which, (according to divine prediction) the
world should wonder after the Beast, the Mystery of Iniquity should so far prevail
over the Mystery of Godliness, whorish Babylon over the virgin-Church of
Christ; as that the visible glory of the True Church should be much clouded,
the True unstained Christian Faith corrupted, the purity of true worship
polluted. Or, The Gentiles Theology of Demons, i.e. inferior divine powers:
Supposed to be mediators between God and man: Revived in the Latter times
amongst Christians, in worshipping of Angels, deifying and invocating of
Saints, adoring and templing of Relics, bowing down to Images, worshipping of
Crosses, etc. All which, together with a true discovery of the Nature, Origin,
Progress, of the great, fatal, and solemn Apostasy, are cleared. Delivered in
public some years since upon I Tim. 4:1,2,3. (1641,
1845 edition)
Birks, in his introduction
writes, "for close and varied research, happily applied to illustrate an
important warning of Scripture, few works can claim equal praise. No treatise,
perhaps, has had a more powerful and lasting effect in unmasking the Christian
idolatries of former ages, and thus forming a strong bulwark against the proud
pretensions of the Roman Antichrist" (p. i). Solves the "666"
mystery! We have also added Twisse's preface from the 1641 edition. 343 pages.
BARNES,
ALBERT
Notes,
Explanatory and Practical, on the Book of Revelation (1872)
Having gone into the writing of
this commentary with no preconceived notions, Barnes notes how he was surprised
"to find how nearly (his) views coincide with those taken by the great
body of Protestant interpreters." He further notes that "perhaps this
fact may be regarded as furnishing some evidence that, after all the obscurity
attending it, there is a natural and obvious interpretation of which the book
is susceptible." The Protestant confessions also attest to this fact,
having all taken the historicist view of the book of Revelation. 506 pages.
SYMINGTON,
WILLIAM
Messiah
the Prince or, the Mediatorial Dominion of Jesus Christ (1884)
This is the standard work
on the kingdom of God in English! There
is nothing else like it; it is one-of-a kind! It covers the necessity, reality,
and qualifications of Christ's dominion over not only the church, but all
nations too. Anything less is to rob Christ of His magnificent, majestic,
mediatorial glory -- for He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. "While books on the priestly work
of the Redeemer, and especially on the Atonement, are numerous," notes the
introduction to the American edition, "no formal and exhaustive discussion
of the kingly office of the Messiah... and its application to various classes
of moral agents is elsewhere to be found... It is cause for satisfaction that
the only treatise, as yet, upon this subject, is a work of signal ability,
lucid in arrangement, reverent in spirit, and with hardly an exception, sound
and judicious in its conclusion. Its very merits are probably, in part, the
reason why no other work on the same subject has appeared, and until it is
supplanted by a better work -- an event not likely soon to occur -- it will
have a value peculiar to itself."
In short, this is a unique book devoted to the absolute Kingship and dominion
of the Lord Jesus Christ -- over all heaven and earth!
GUINNESS,
H. GRATTAN
Romanism
and the Reformation from the Standpoint of Prophecy (1891)
As the author states,
We
have suffered prophetic anti-papal truth to be too much forgotten. This
generation is dangerously latitudinarian -- indifferent to truth and error on
points which Scripture is tremendously decided and absolutely clear. These
lectures, simple and popular as they are, will, it is hoped, open many minds to
perceive that the Bible gives no uncertain sound as to Romanism, and that those
who will be guided by its teachings must shun an apostasy against which the
sorest judgements are denounced.
244 pages.
GUINNESS,
H. GRATTON
History
Unveiling Prophecy or Time as an Interpreter (1905)
This book should be useful to
those interested in eschatology, history and hermeneutics. Guinness takes us from
"Pre-Constantine, or Martyr Church Stage" to "The Present
Stage." Chapters on the Reformation, Puritanism in the seventeenth century
and the French Revolution look especially interesting, in connection with the
prophetic word. Guinness also deals with "The Modern Denial of the
Historic and Protestant Interpretation of the Apocalypse," "Coming
Events in Jewish History," "The Practical Use of the
Apocalypse," and much more. Three diagrams are included, one on church
history as outlined in the Apocalypse.
515 pages, indexed.

WYLIE,
SAMUEL B.
The
Two Sons of Oil; or, the Faithful Witness for Magistracy and Ministry upon a
Scriptural Basis (1850, third edition)
A Covenanter classic opening
Revelation 11:3-4 and Zechariah 4:14.
It has been hailed as the "best presentation of the position of the
Covenanter Church that has been written." Noting that the "[t]ime has been, when the whole
body of Presbyterians, in Scotland, England, and Ireland, unanimously
subscribed" to these principles, "[f]or civil and ecclesiastical
reformation" and that thousands bled and died for the glorious covenanted
cause of civil and ecclesiastical reformation
FAIRBAIRN,
PATRICK
Prophecy
Viewed in Respect to Its Distinctive Nature, Its Special Function, and Proper
Interpretation (1865)
A 532-page manual of
interpretation focusing on prophecy. Full
of applications, it makes for interesting reading. Fairbairn elevates prophetic
discussion by helping us to "look into the very nature of God, to
behold in his light the laws of eternity, according to which he governs the
church and the world,"
which is "something infinitely higher than a mere knowledge of the
future" (Hengstenberg).
The sections on the Papacy and Antichrist are some of the best writing on
this topic. This
book is light years ahead of the modern mush and drivel that is peddled by the
prophetic speculators of our day!

DURHAM,
JAMES
A
Complete Commentary Upon the Book of Revelation (1658,
1799 edition, 2 volumes)
"After all that has been
written it would not be easy to find a more sensible and instructive work than this

my two witnesses, and they shall prophecy." Steele deals with
testimony-bearing, Antichrist, Popery, the beasts of Revelation, the mark of
the beast, 666, the image of the beast, civil and ecclesiastical apostasy,
Reformation, covenanting, heresy, schism, terms of communion, slavery,

Islam
in Revelation: An Historic Look at Protestant Eschatological Thought on the
Rise and Fall of Islam
There are two great
antichristian religious systems of deceit revealed in the book of Revelation. The "great western antichrist"
of Roman Catholicism (Rev. 17 and 18) and the "great eastern
antichrist" of Islam (Rev. 9). This has been the majority position of
historic Protestant interpretation (Historicism) for centuries (as all the most
faithful Reformers and all the Reformation creeds and confessions attest). For
example, the illustrious John Calvin proclaimed that "Mahomet" and "the Pope" are "the two horns of
Antichrist."
The following six extracts on
Islam's place in prophecy are taken from five Historicist books which Still
Waters Revival Books has published over the past years (see the URLs noted
below for the full printed editions of each title). These extracts not only clearly show that
the rise and fall of Islam is prophesied in Scripture, but they also give us
one of the most powerful testimonies to God's sovereignty (over all His
creatures and all their actions) in all of the Word of God. In fact, when the
historicist position is carefully studied, the prophetic fulfillment in the
case of Islam and Revelation chapter nine is seen to be so striking and well
attested that "even advocates of other approaches who are adamant in
their rejection of the historicist system of interpretation have admitted the
convincing nature of this particular identification" (Steve Gregg, commenting on Rev. 9:1-6 in
Revelation: Four Views,
p. 176).
The following six excerpts on Islam in Revelation comprise 105 printed
pages and are taken from:

the generally accepted position, concerning the dating of the book of
Revelation, of early church for about the first three centuries after Christ).

After noting that he found the
Jesuit (i.e. Preterist--RB) method of eschatalogical interpretation
unsatisfactory, Pond tells us how he came to settle on the historic Protestant
method of interpretation (i.e. historicism). Furthermore, he states that,
"avoiding the theories of Rationalists and Roman Catholics on the one
hand, and of the Adventists (Premillennialists--RB) on the other, the plan of
interpretation which we have pursued is the same which has been held by the
great body of evangelical ministers and Christians in America and in England
for the last hundred years."

Christ; the Romish Antichrist;
Israelites, Jews; and the New Testament Church. The final pages give a brief
chronology of noted events from the creation (about 6000 years ago according to
Brown) to the author's day. This book, Brown notes, taken together with his Sacred

"general view of the figures of Scripture language," an
"explication of metaphors respecting persons" and an
"explication of metaphors respecting things." He also notes that
"the ensuing work contains a whole system of divine truth, represented in

NEWTON,
THOMAS
Dissertations
on the Prophecies Which Have Remarkably Been Fulfilled, and at this Time are
Fulfilling in the World (2 volumes, 1817)
The author defends the
historicist position of eschatology. Historicism teaches that a number of the
prophecies of Scripture, and especially those in the book of Revelation, will
be seen to be fulfilled throughout history. The specific prophetic fulfillments
in question (for example what does the "beast" or "the mother of
harlots" in Revelation 17 refer to?) are not seen to be past (as in the
Preterist system) or future (as in the Futurist system); neither are they
spiritualized to refer to general ideas (of good versus evil) without specific
historic fulfillment (as in the Typico-Spiritual system). The historicist
position was ensconced in all the substantial Reformed confessions (including
the preamble to the Decrees of Dort [1618-19] and the Westminster Confession of
Faith [1647]); and no major Reformed Confession has ever taken the Preterist or
Futurist position (which is not surprising, since both of these positions, as
systems, originated with the Jesuits). Historicism was the position held by
almost all the Reformers including Luther, Calvin and Knox. This book also
covers the whole book of Revelation. Twelfth edition, indexed, 439 (vol. 1) and
440 pages (vol. 2).

STEELE, DAVID
Notes on the Apocalypse (1870)
In 1779, in their Testimony and Warning
Against the Blasphemies and Idolatry of Popery, the Reformed
Presbytery called Durham's Complete Commentary... On the Book of Revelation [$39.98, 2 vol. rare
bound photocopy], "the best exposition of that
book that has yet been published" (p. 61n). Had they had the
privilege of reading Steele's Notes on the Apocalypse we are quite certain
that they would have given it a similar endorsement. Though written in a
different style than Durham's work, Steele's notes on Revelation may be even
more valuable in many respects -- Steele having taken a more decided position
"in the wilderness." Steele also had the
benefit of many more resources, having written over two centuries later.
Steele's aim in writing this book is made clear in his own words taken from the
preface,
As this work is intended for the instruction and
edification of the unlearned, rather than for the entertainment of the learned,
words of foreign extract are used as seldom as possible. Practical remarks and
reflections are rarely introduced; the principal
aim being simply to ascertain and present to the reader the mind of the Holy
Spirit. How far this object has been accomplished, is of course left
to the judgment of the honest inquirer. The reader, however, in forming his
judgment of the value of these Notes, may be reminded of that inspired rule in
searching the Scriptures,--"Comparing spiritual things with
spiritual." To assist him in the application of this divine rule, many
chapters and verses are quoted from other parts of the Bible, but especially
within the Apocalypse itself; that by concentrating the various rays upon
particular texts or symbols, their intrinsic light may be rendered more luminous.
Thus the interpretation given, if correct, may be confirmed and illustrated.
Appendices include a section on, The New Jerusalem, The Antichrist, The Image of the
Beast, The Beast's "deadly wound," The Little Book, The Death of the
Witnesses, The Mark of the Beast, The First Resurrection, The Identity of the
Two Witnesses, Sounding of the Seventh Trumpet and The Title of this Book (i.e.
the Book of Revelation--RB). This work also includes various "animadversions
on the interpretations (of Revelation--RB) of several among the most learned
and approved expositors of Britain and America."
Comments on this work include the four given
below, all which were given without the solicitation or knowledge of the
author. The Evangelical Repository notes, "the
author adduces a greater number of Scriptural illustrations than any other
writer on prophecy we ever met with." Hutcheson writes, "I can recommend it to any person as condensing the best
thoughts to be had on the subject." Brooks says, "I have derived more knowledge of the Apocalypse from
this work than from all other expositions which I have consulted."
And finally, John Cunningham comments, "It is
neither a dictionary nor concordance; neither a confession of faith, nor an
encyclopedia, but a thesaurus of Theology, embodying the characters of all
these." Steele dedicated this work to John Cunningham, author
of The Ordinance of Covenanting ($14.99 P, $29.00 HP). 323 pages.

A Complete Commentary Upon
the Book of Revelation (1658, 1799 edition, 2 volumes)
"After all that has
been written it would not be easy to find a more sensible and instructive work
than this old-fashioned exposition... the mystery of the Gospel fills it with
sweet savour" writes Spurgeon of
this work (cited in Johnston, Treasury of the Scottish Covenant, p. 318, emphasis
added). Carstairs, in the introduction to this
huge set, comments that the judicious reader "will
count the author an interpreter, one among a thousand." This
book touches on many subjects "with some practical observations, and
several digressions, necessary for vindicating, clearing, and confirming many
weighty and important truths." Furthermore, along with a detailed verse by
verse interpretation of the book of Revelation it includes (at the end of
volume two) a brief summary (containing 24 pages) of the whole book. The complete photocopy
set is massive and covers 1750 pages! We would
also note that we are offering only a cerlox bound photocopy edition of this
work at the present time. This is because Old Paths Publications intends on
retypsetting the complete work, adding an introduction (or two), and publishing
this set as a regular hardcover book. The Old Paths hardcover should be ready in
a year or so and we hope to make it available to you through our catalogue at
that time. You may want to wait for the hardcover as it will have the advantage
of being retypeset (though it will likely be much more expensive); but if you

ELLIOTT, E.B.
Horae Apocalypticae; or, A
Commentary on the Apocalypse, Critical and Historical; Including Also An
Examination of the Chief Prophecies of Daniel (1862)
The title
continues: "Illustrated by an Apocalyptic Chart, and Engravings from
Medals and Other Extant Monuments of Antiquity. With Appendices: Containing,
Besides Other matters, A Sketch of the History of Apocalyptic Interpretation,
Critical Reviews of the Chief Apocalyptic Counter-Schemes, and Indices."
This four volume set is respected by many as a scholarly work on eschatology. It
will be especially valuable in our day as it absolutely destroys the Jesuit
inspired preterist system by conclusively proving a late date for the writing
of the book of Revelation. Elliott also demonstrates
the impossibility of the futurist system, which, like preterism, was also
concocted (as a system) by the Jesuits to counteract the classic Reformation
eschatology called historicism. That this is no small issue is clear, as Kevin
Reed exhibits (in his book review titled "The Ecclesiology of John Foxe: A
book review by Kevin Reed of John Foxe and the Elizabethan Church by V. Norskov Olsen
[Berkeley: University of California Press, 1973]") by citing Olsen when he
writes,
The Counter Reformation is generally considered to have three
aspects: the Jesuits, the Inquisition, and the Council of Trent. In view of the
significance of the Protestant apocalyptic interpretation of history which
prophetically pinpointed step by step the events covering the whole Christian
era from the beginning to the end, it seems justifiable to suggest a fourth
aspect, namely the praeteristic and futuristic interpretations launched by
Catholic expositors as a counterattack (p. 47).
All
the major Reformers and all the major Reformation creeds and confessions
adopted the historicist position -- and it is this position that Elliott so
skillfully defends.
Included in Horae Apocalypticae you will also find a very useful historical
survey of who held which positions concerning eschatology, much history on the
Roman empire (and its interaction with Christianity), how
the Reformation, Islam, etc. were prophesied in the Apocalypse, a
world chronology according to the Hebrew Scriptures (which would make the Earth
6127 years old), patristic views of prophecy, the beast and his mark (666)
revealed, and much more. The Papacy is also shown
to be the apocalyptic antichrist, which was a standard position among the
Reformers. Elliott also deals with Moses Stuart's Preterism.
Sadly, one major warning needs to be given about this book.
However valuable the contents are as a defense of historicism (and the late
date of the book of Revelation), the author adopted the premillennial heresy and
thus marred an otherwise useful work when he promotes these views. 2611 pages,
with a 29 page index.

Micah 4:1-5 (#9 & #10)
Reformation Eschatology, the Millennium and the Victory of Christ's Kingdom (2
sermons, 1998)
The
eschatology of the Reformers (and the Reformation Creeds and Confessions)
defended and explained: exhibiting the prominent place that the victory
of Christ's kingdom (in history) is given in Scripture -- and in the writings
of the best Reformers (from Calvin and Cameron, to Witsius [Dutch] and the
Westminster Divines [British]). Also demonstrates how the millennium (which
Price notes may begin within a generation or two) will include such notable
events as the nations bowing to Christ's Kingship civilly, worldwide unity
(based on truth, Amos 3:3) in the church, and universal peace in the world.
This is hard to dispute just in light of the text from which these sermons are
preached:
But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of
the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it
shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. And many nations shall
come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the
house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk
in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from
Jerusalem. And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar
off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into
pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall
they learn war any more. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under
his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of
hosts hath spoken it. For all people will walk every one in the name of his
god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever (Micah
4:1-5).
If you are
interested in Reformed thought and would like a very encouraging overview of
the classic Protestant position on eschatology,
this is likely the best tape set you will find!

M'Leod, a Reformed
Presbyterian, here defends (in 480 pages) classic
historicist Reformation eschatology from the book of Revelation.
David Steele, in his Notes on the Apocalypse commends this work
numerous times. Steele writes,
the best works to be obtained as helps to understand the
prophetic parts of scripture, will be found in the labors of those who, from
age to age, have obeyed the gracious call of Christ -- who have 'come out from
mystic Babylon,' from the Romish communion, from the mother and her harlot daughters,
and who have associated more or less intimately with the witnesses. Among these
may be consulted with profit the works of Durham, Mason and M'Leod (p. 312)... The late
Rev. Alexander M'Leod, D.D., who had the works of learned predecessors before
him, has successfully corrected many of their misinterpretations in his
valuable publication, entitled Lectures upon the Principal Prophecies of the
Revelation.
At the time when he wrote that work, he possessed several advantages in aid of
his own expositions. He had access to the most valuable works which had been
issued before that date (1814). He was then in the vigor of youthful manhood;
and he was also comparatively free from the trammels which in attempts to
expound the Apocalypse, have cramped the energies of many a well disciplined
mind, political partialities. At the time of these profound studies, he
occupied a position 'in the wilderness,' from which as a stand point, like John
in Patmos, he could most advantageously survey the passing scenes of providence
with the ardor of youthful emotion, and with unsullied affection for his divine
master... expressing my obligations to the
Doctor's labors, to whose system of interpretation as well as to most of his
details, I cheerfully give my approbation in preference to all other expositors
whose works it has been in my power to consult (pp. 317-19)...
Doctor M'Leod and Mr. Faber (see next item--RB) I consider among the best
expositors of the prophecies on which they severally wrote... On material
points they have shed much light where those who preceded them left the reader
in darkness, or involved him in perplexing labyrinths. Faber preceded M'Leod,
and the latter availed himself of all the aid furnished by the former; yet till
the 'mystery of God shall be finished,' his people will be receiving accessions
of light from the 'sure word of prophecy' (p. 321)...
I can again cordially recommend to his attention the Lectures of Doctor
M'Leod, as the best exposition of those parts of the Apocalypse of which he
treats, that has come under my notice' (p. 324).
But Steele is
not shy about pointing out that,
the
principal defect pervading the Lectures, and one which most readers will be
disposed to view in an opposite light, appears to be, a charity too broad, a
catholicity too expansive, to be easily reconciled with a consistent position
among the mystic witnesses. Their author, however, deriving much information
from the learned labors of English prelates on prophecy, could not 'find in his
heart' to exclude them from a place in the honorable roll of the witnesses. I
am unable to recognize any of those who are in organic fellowship with the
'eldest daughter of Popery,' as entitled to rank among those who are symbolized
as 'clothed in sackcloth.' The two positions and fellowships appear to be
obviously incompatible and palpably irreconcilable. It is true that there have
been and still are in the English establishment divines who are strictly
evangelical; but the reigning Mediator views and treats individuals, as he
views and treats the moral person with which individuals freely choose to
associate; and we ought to 'have the mind of Christ' (I Cor. 2:16, p. 322-23,
bold emphases added throughout).
Notwithstanding
a few shortcomings, this is probably the best book available (at present) on
the book of Revelation.

A Dissertation on the
Prophecies, That Have Been Fulfilled, Are Now Fulfilling, or Will Hereafter Be
Fulfilled Relative to the Great Period of 1260 Years; The Papal and Mohammedan
Apostacies; The Tyrannical Reign of Antichrist, or the Infidel Power; and the
Restoration of the Jews
(2 volumes, 1811)
Defends
classic historicist postmillennialism and its position relative to the 1260
year period mentioned in Scripture.
In the
author's words,
(t)reats of a subject peculiarly interesting to every serious
Protestant: for the famous period of 1260 prophetic days, so frequently
mentioned by Daniel and St. John, comprehends the tyrannical reign of those
three great opponents of the Gospel: Popery, Mohammedism, and Infidelity. This
period indeed may not improperly be styled the permitted hour of the powers
of darkness; since the Church is represented as being in an afflicted and
depressed state during the whole of its continuance, and since its expiration
will be marked by a signal display of the judgments of God upon his enemies and
by the commencement of a new and happy order of things.
Understanding
the Reformation position on eschatology, as it is set forth in this work, gives
us great insight into as to why the Romanists (i.e. the Jesuits in particular)
were so intent on planting both Preterism (Alcasar, c. 1615) and Futurism
(Ribera, c. 1585) among the Protestants. 583 pages.

This book is made up of six sermons and one
lengthy lecture. The first two sermons (on Rev. 8:5) deal with "Christ the Mediatorial Angel, Casting the Fire of Divine
Judgments Into the Earth." The next two sermons (on Rev. 11:6)
treat "Christ's Two Witnesses Smiting the
Antichristian Earth With All Plagues, As Often As They Will."
The first four sermons cover 112 pages. These works are followed with "Remarks on the Sixth Vial, Symbolizing the Fall of the
Turkish Empire" on Rev. 16:12 (24 pages), "Remarks on the Seventh Vial, Symbolizing the Fall of
Popery and Despotism" Rev. 16:17 and 21:5,6 (24 pages) and the
final discourse, "Observations on the Public
Covenants Between God and the Church" (104 pages), taking off
from, "They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which
refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the

Antichrist in Scripture:
Luther and Calvin's Doctrine of the Antichrist (1992)
Few
Christians know that the anti-Protestant Futurist theory originated with a
Spanish Jesuit by the name of Ribera, who, in 1585, published a Commentary on
the Revelation, in which he laboured to turn aside the Protestant application
of the Apocalyptic prophecies and symbols from the church of Rome. It is also not well
known that the anti-Protestant Praterite (preterist) theory came from the pen
of a Spanish Jesuit, Alcasar of Seville, who in 1615 published a work having in
view the same end as Ribera, viz, to set aside the commonly accepted
Reformation view that the Roman Papacy is the Antichrist (adapted from Original
Covenanter and Contending Witness magazine).
This
books shows how and why "the Reformers denominated the papacy as
Antichrist." Some quotes from the writings of Calvin and Luther appear
here in English for the first time. Regarding the Protestant testimony set forth
herein Paisley has stated,
the preaching of the Great Cloud of Witnesses of all ages in
the Church is true... that the little horn is none other than the Dynasty of
Rome's Popes and that therefore THE POPE IS THE ANTICHRIST.
This view (the
"continuous historical Protestant theory") stands in agreement with Luther, Calvin, Knox, the Westminster Divines, Owen,
Ames, Spurgeon, Baxter, Matthew Henry, Jonathan Edwards, Cunningham, Ryle,
Cotton, Brown, and virtually all of the other standard Protestant interpreters
of the book of Revelation.
Lee
provides several pages of useful references on this topic in the various Protestant Confessions of Faith. He points
out how the Westminster Confession and
the Preamble to the Decrees of Dordt 1618-19 both
clearly denominate the Papacy as the antichrist. He concludes his book with a
useful chapter summarizing the contents (British Reformed Journal, April, 1993).

after Christ). This is the postscript, excerpted from Fleming's

FLEMING, ROBERT
The Rise and Fall of the
Papacy
(1848)
"Originally published in 1701. The first of
these discourses has been the most celebrated. It arrested public notice, and
awakened the interest of Europe. After laying down the principle upon which the
author conceived the Apocalypse should be interpreted, he explained the pouring
out of the fourth vial with reference to Anti-Christian France, fixing 1794 as
the date of the expiration of the vial. When the French Revolution took place
it was then remembered that it had been so predicted by a forgotten Scottish
pastor. The work was reprinted both in England and America, translated into
different languages, and once more fell out of sight till the revolution of
1848 led to a fresh perusal. Referring to Italy, the author wrote: 'The Fifth
vial, which is to be poured out upon the seat of the Beast will probably begin
about 1794 and expire about the year 1848.' The
downfall of the Papacy, according to Fleming, is going on; the Mohammedan
Antichrist will follow, and about A.D. 2000 (Jewish reckoning, about 2017 on
the Julian calendar--RB), the millennial epoch will begin. In that
memorable year (1848) the Pope was compelled to become a fugitive from Rome;
and it was certainly a striking coincidence" (Johnston, The Treasury of
the Scottish Covenant,
371). "A reprint," wrote The Patriot, "of one of the most remarkable and sagacious works
extant on the subject of unfulfilled prophecy, deserving a perusal as a
succinct, learned, and eminently devout exposition of the Apocalypse."

illustrate an important warning of Scripture, few works can claim equal praise.

MURRAY, MATTHEW
The Millennium: Peace,
Prosperity and National Covenanting (1879)
This
is the Reformation (especially second Reformation) view of
postmillennialism as set forth and explained in terms of the national blessings
and gospel purity that will be present when the millennium arrives.
Some items
discussed include:
1. The visible state of unity in the church during the
millennium
2. National covenanting.
3. How kings will be "nursing fathers" (Isa. 49:23) to
the church during this blessed period of history.
4. How "all nations shall serve him" (Ps 72:11) in that
day (and there are no nations in heaven -- so this must be speaking of what
will take place on earth before Christ returns, contrary to amillennialism)!
In short, the millennium will be marked by visible civil and
ecclesiastical obedience to Christ as King! This is exactly the
opposite of the situation that we are presently experiencing -- for we live in
the days of the great apostasy (2 Thes. 2:3). The church (visible) is in
disarray and has grievously backslidden from her previous Reformation attainments.
No nation is covenanted with Christ (as a nation), but instead,
"The
kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together,
against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands
asunder, and cast away their cords from us" (Ps. 2:2-3).
The nations and
many churches despise Christ's royal law and He now "vex(es) them in his
sore displeasure" -- but when the millennial
glory arrives the river of His Spirit will fill the earth (Ezek 47:1-12) and
His high priestly prayer will be answered (John 17:21: "That
they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also
may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.").
This
is a greatly encouraging introduction to this topic and the best short
treatment of this subject that we offer! Excerpted from the Original
Covenanter and Contending Witness magazine (volumes 2:4-6).

After
noting that he found the Jesuit (i.e. Preterist--RB) method of eschatalogical
interpretation unsatisfactory, Pond tells us how he came to settle on the
historic Protestant method of interpretation (i.e. historicism).
Furthermore,
he states that,
avoiding the theories of Rationalists and Roman Catholics on the
one hand, and of the Adventists (Premillennialists--RB) on the other, the plan
of interpretation which we have pursued is the same which has been held by the
great body of evangelical ministers and Christians in America and in England
for the last hundred years.

aims to open Revelation to all Christians, but also deals with some
controversial points in chapters which deal with the dating of Revelation and a

Romanism and the Reformation
from the Standpoint of Prophecy (1891)
Few
today understand the importance of eschatology to the Reformation. The
Jesuits long ago succeeded in burying Reformation historicism under the rubbish
pile of their upstart theories of preterism and futurism -- and the popish
beast loves it to be so.
As the author
states,
We have suffered prophetic anti-papal truth to be too much
forgotten. This generation is dangerously latitudinarian -- indifferent to
truth and error on points which Scripture is tremendously decided and absolutely
clear. These lectures, simple and popular as they are, will, it is hoped, open
many minds to perceive that the Bible gives no uncertain sound as to Romanism,
and that those who will be guided by its teachings must shun an apostasy
against which the sorest judgements are denounced.

STEELE, DAVID
The Two Witnesses: Their
Cause, Number, Character, Furniture and Special Work (1859)
This is a great
companion volume to Steele's Notes on the Apocalypse. Here Steele zeros in
on and works primarily from the text of Revelation 11:13, "I will give
power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophecy." Steele deals with testimony-bearing, Antichrist, Popery,
the beasts of Revelation, the mark of the beast, 666, the image of the beast,
civil and ecclesiastical apostasy, Reformation, covenanting, heresy, schism,
terms of communion, slavery, sectarianism, Mormonism, Independency,
freemasonry, history, worship, idolatry, Britain, the United States, Canada,
mystical Babylon, the last days, the ultimate victory of the church and a host
of other subjects!
As is usually
the case with Steele, he makes the doctrines of Scripture eminently practical.
For example, note how the faithful witnesses are continually called to testify
against open opposition to the Lord's Covenanted Zion and the attainments of
biblical Reformation (in "the faith which was once delivered unto the
saints"); and against whom this testimony is directed:
(T)hese
witnesses are called and commissioned to testify especially against Antichrist
-- a false christ, and therefore an opposing christ. But Christ is to be
considered either personally or mystically; either abstractly in his personal
rights and prerogatives, or in the concrete, in the rights and immunities of his
church. There is this prejudice, too prevalent,
against Christians testifying against Christians! This we are often told, is
contrary to the law of charity. We have not so learned Christ. They are not all
Israel which are of Israel. Much of the business of these two prophets is to
oppose prophets -- to prophesy against the shepherds, Ezek. 34:2.
Moses with his miracles must confront the magicians with their enchantments,
Exod. 8:19. Elijah must confront the prophets of Baal, 1 Kings 18:25. Paul must
counteract false apostles, 2 Cor. 11:13. In
short, the direct object of these witnesses' testimony is apostate christendom
-- those who depart from the faith, 1 Tim. 4:1 -- who have gone out from
fellowship and renounced the doctrines of the apostolic church, 1 John 2:19.
Their special work is to testify against error and its propagators and
abettors, together with ungodliness, the natural fruit of error, rather than
against pagans. (The Two Witnesses, p. 14).
(T)hese two witnesses have always testified -- not formally
against pagans or infidels as such; but -- against apostate Christians, as
composing an organized and complex system of opposition to the Lord and his
Anointed.
And just here, the witnesses have detected the secret of Antichrist's
successful enterprise among the human family..."Many false prophets are
gone out into the world... this is a deceiver and an Antichrist," 2 John
7. The combination is ostensibly on the side and in the interest of Christ, and
the elements of which Antichrist is composed were obviously professing
Christians,
"They went out from us, but they were not of us, for if they had been of
us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they
might be made manifest that they were not all of us, " I John 2:19. Here is the apostasy, and so the witnesses are fully borne
out in asserting that Antichrist is a great Christian apostasy! To trace the
origin and development, in the organization and modifications of this enemy of
all righteousness, is the special work of Christ's witnesses. (The
Two Witnesses,
pp. 17-18).
Moreover,
having taken his own place "in the wilderness" (i.e. having separated
himself from, and having been ostracized by the "civilization" of the
obstinately defecting RPCNA and other unfaithful denominations of his day [2
Thes. 3:6;14-15; Rev. 12:6; 17:3]), it was given to Steele to see and expound
those grand old principles of our covenanted forefathers (who sat at
Westminster and in the best Reformed churches during both the first and second
Reformations -- the Scottish Presbyterians being granted the greatest measure
of light as a settled body from 1638-1649). Thus,
if you are interested in Reformation eschatology, with some of the strongest
possible application, individually and corporately (in keeping with the body of
Reformed truth), it is unlikely that you will find a better introduction to
these topics than this!
As an
additional bonus we have added Steele's 19 page
debate with James M. Willson (a prominent RPCNA minister) to this book
(along with a number of other pertinent documents). Since Steele references
this theological clash in his preface to the Two Witnesses this makes a fitting
appendix to add to this work.
We
hope that you obtain and study this fine work -- and that you will find it edifying,
as well as a useful weapon in your battle with the beasts of Revelation. 101 pages.

The Papacy is the Antichrist (1888)
"The following demonstration is rested on no
narrow basis. Its two postulates, like two posterns, admit us into the edifice,
but they are not its foundations. The whole economy of Redemption, and the
whole course of History are the broad substructions on which the argument is
based and built up; and the author humbly submits that it cannot be overturned,
or the conclusion arrived at set aside, without dislocating and shaking the
structure of both Revelation and Providence. The same
line of proof which establishes that Christ is the promised Messiah, conversely
applied, establishes that the Roman system is the predicted Apostasy. In the
life of Christ we behold the converse of what the Antichrist must be; and in
the prophecy of the Antichrist we are shown the converse of what Christ must
be, and was. And when we place the Papacy between the two, and compare it with
each, we find, on the one hand, that it is the perfect converse of Christ as
seen in His life; and, on the other, that it is the perfect image of the
Antichrist, as shown in the prophecy of him. We conclude, therefore, that if
Jesus of Nazareth be the Christ, the Roman Papacy is the Antichrist"
(Wylie's preface, pp. v-vi). This book contains the classic teaching of the
Protestant Reformation regarding Antichrist (an
integral part of that Reformation, we might add -- as all the Reformed creeds
and confessions attest). The
easy-reading format and style make this book an ideal introduction to this
topic. For more detailed research on the Papacy, by the same author,

day won first prize from the Evangelical Alliance for essays on Popery. 176

The Papacy: Its History,
Dogmas, Genius, and Prospects (1889 edition)
In its day, this book, of 572 pages, won the
Evangelical Alliance first prize for an essay on Popery. "With all we have read of Popery, we have yet met with
nothing in the English language which we regard to be so complete in itself,
and so overwhelmingly destructive to Romanism," noted the
Evangelical magazine. (Evangelical magazines of Wylie's day obviously knew who
their enemies were then; there are few that recognize this today. Some, in our
day, even teach that a return to Rome is advisable, thinking that an alliance
with idolaters will help free the land of social evils. In reality this will
only serve as a further provocation against "the Holy one of Israel,"
bringing more curses, wrath and guilt upon our land.). Wylie's
book combines the qualities of clear structure, vigorous logic, and eloquent
style and yet is written with an absence of unchristian passion and prejudice
-- making its argument all the more useful to those trapped in Rome's web of
deceit (or those seeking a fair and comprehensive treatment of this massive
topic). It is also indexed. When this book
first appeared in German, the Papists were careful to give it the "silent
treatment," lest an inquiring Papist should hear of it and be inclined to
read it. These same Romanists (later) also invoked the civil power against it, so
fearful were they of its contents.

The Two Sons of Oil; or, the
Faithful Witness for Magistracy and Ministry upon a Scriptural Basis (1850, third edition)
A Covenanter classic opening Revelation
11:3-4 and Zechariah 4:14. It has been hailed as the "best
presentation of the position of the Covenanter Church that has been written."
Noting that the "[t]ime has been, when the
whole body of Presbyterians, in Scotland, England, and Ireland, unanimously
subscribed" to these principles, "[f]or civil and ecclesiastical
reformation" and that thousands bled and died for the glorious covenanted
cause of civil and ecclesiastical reformation; Wylie sets out to
explain and defend "that cause. Not because it is an ancient cause; not
because many have sealed it with their blood; but, because," as he says,
"I thought it the doctrine of the Bible, and the cause of Christ."
This book explains how to tell if
a government (especially a civil government) is faithful to Christ and thus to
be obeyed for conscience's sake. It also gives direction regarding when and how
to resist (and disassociate) yourself from governments which get their power
from "the beast."
Moreover, it gives clear testimony as to what
the Bible requires of civil magistrates, noting "that civil rulers
should exercise their power in protecting and defending the religion of Jesus." It also gives plain reasons why dissent from the
government of the United States (and other covenant breaking nations) is the
legitimate Scriptural pattern. All these ideas are intricately
intertwined with the Reformation understanding of eschatology and demonstrate
once again the importance of a proper understanding of the Reformation
eschatology of Scripture. 99 pages.

The Interpretation of
Prophecy
This
is Fairbairn's best-known work. Like all his writings it is
characterized by a deep familiarity with the text and language of Scripture,
careful and thoroughly-researched scholarship, and a sane and balanced approach
to exegesis. Here
we have "the mature reflections of a lifetime of devoted scholarly
study of the subject of prophecy.
Part one deals with the principles of
interpretation.
Part two applies these principles to
matters related to the kingdom of Christ (and its victory), Antichrist and the beast
(and their doom), the millennium, the mystery of iniquity, and much more.
If you want to
know, from a practical standpoint, why in our day so-called Protestants are
signing compromising agreements with Roman Catholics, why there is so much
disunity and defection in the church, why age old Confessional standards are
being abandoned, and why their is general turmoil all about, this book will
certainly help to give you the clear and sobering answer.

Fairbairn elevates prophetic discussion by helping us to "look into the

GILLESPIE, GEORGE
Ezekiel's Vision of
Millennial Glory, Preparation for Coming Reformation and a Remedy for Backsliding
and Lukewarmness (1644)
This sermon, read by elder Lyndon Dohms (1998),
was originally preached to England's House of Commons "At Their Late
Solemn Fast, Wednesday, March 27, 1644." It is taken from volume one of
Gillespie's two volume Works ($24.98 P, $34.00 HP). It
gives great insight into the covenanted unity, uniformity and worldwide
Reformation sought by the majority of the Westminster Divines and the best of
the civil leaders of Gillespie's day.
Gillespie searchingly deals with
the individual, the church and the state, while painting a Scriptural picture
of prophesied earthly victory (Isa. 2:2-5, Ezek 47:1-12, etc.) -- in classic
historicist postmillennial style -- which is sure to stir even the coldest
Christian heart.
He shows how the worst disease the land can suffer is corruption in religion
(particularly as exhibited in false worship), rebukes those opposing the Solemn
League and Covenant and calls upon all to maintain (and even improve upon) the
Reformation attainments "whereunto we have already attained" (Phil.
3:16).
It is also interesting to note, especially since
this sermon was preached before civil rulers, that though Gillespie points out
the need for humility, repentance, prayer, tears, godly affections, sanctified minds
and honorable actions, he does not forget to mention the importance of a
covenanted army in this great cause of Christ's covenanted Reformation. Also noted is the destruction of Antichrist, the
calling and conversion of the Jews (Rom. 11), the two witnesses and the 1260
year apostasy. Gillespie closes with an appeal to the English House
of Commons, with whom the Scots had "joined in covenant and in arms,"
to be faithful "according to the word he (God--RB) hath covenanted with
you (i.e. in the Solemn League and Covenant--RB), so his spirit remaineth among
you" -- exhorting these magistrates to "fear not" but to
"be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might." This is classic Covenanter preaching, among the best
sermons you may ever hear!

GILLESPIE, GEORGE
Reformation's Refining Fire;
or, Iconoclastic Zeal Necessary to World Reformation (1645)
This sermon, read by elder Lyndon Dohms, was
originally preached to the House of Lords in the abbey church at Westminster
during the days of the Westminster Assembly (on August 27, 1645). It deals with
Malachi 3:2 and can also be found in volume one of Gillespie's Works. The reading is approximately 80 minutes in length and for
content this is likely the best sermon that we have ever carried.
The glory of Christ is magnified
in a soul stirring manner and at a level which is seldom (if ever) reached in
our day.
Though preaching before some of the most powerful men of his day, Gillespie
does nothing to shave off the sharp edges of the whole counsel of God. He makes
it abundantly clear that spiritual Reformation (individual, ecclesiastical and
civil) is like a flaming fire which burns the dross of the flesh and is often
hated and opposed by those that cry loudest for "Reform."
On the other hand, the
refining fire of Reformation which pleases God (and comes from His
fatherly hands, filled with mercy, love and grace), not only turns his wrath
from the nations (by granting the grace to remove the causes of His wrath), but
invigorates the spirit with that iconoclastic zeal against sin (whether
personal or corporate) that can only be produced by His sovereign power.
Whole-hearted (covenanted)
reformation is contrasted, throughout this sermon, with the half-hearted
comfortable Christianity that has been common in most ages. Gillespie wields the
sword of Scripture as few can in driving home a multitude of vitally important
points. This sermon can be listened to over and over with increasing profit, as
it contains a fullness which is almost impossible to absorb in just one
sitting. Don't miss this one; it is a real gem!

GILLESPIE, GEORGE
The Works of George Gillespie
(2 volumes)
Gillespie was one of the Scottish
commissioners to the Westminster Assembly. He was one of the greatest
theologians of all time -- almost singlehandedly steering this august Assembly
at certain points.
As Hetherington notes, "in all those debates
no person took a more active part, or gained more distinction than George
Gillespie," though he was the youngest man there. Furthermore,
Hetherington calls him a "genius of the
highest order," and writes that his
work "dazzled and astonished his countrymen." He
"held an undisputed position among the
foremost of the distinguished men by whose talents and energy the Church of
Scotland was delivered from the prelatic despotism" of that
day.
This rare work contains Gillespie's personal
notes during the Westminster Assembly and A Dispute Against English Popish
Ceremonies.
A Dispute Against English Popish Ceremonies is a rare classic on Reformed worship, taking on all the
arguments related to the use of man-made ceremonies in worship. Burned by the
Prelates (Episcopalians) just after it first appeared in 1637, this masterful
defense of the regulative principle has yet to be answered (by those that
oppose God's sovereignty in worship). It ably, and in a detailed
manner, refutes the old errors of Prelacy and Romanism in worship -- many of
which are being resurrected in our day by writers like James Jordan, Steve
Schlissel and
John Frame
(and others abandoning historic Presbyterian [i.e. Biblical] worship).
Gillespie's practical "Treatise of
Miscellany Questions,"
contains 22 chapters. Topics dealt with range from: whether prophets and
prophesying continued beyond the primitive church (which Gillespie answers in
the affirmative); whether a sound heart and an unsound head can consist
together; what are heresies and what is their purpose; are infants to be
baptized; should the civil government attach a negative sanction to not
swearing to the Solemn League and Covenant (against one aspect of Theonomy);
etc. These Works also contains a memoir of Gillespie's life and
writings, written by Hetherington, Gillespie's sermons before the house of
commons, and much more!

WILLIAM
The Progress of Divine
Providence
(2 cassettes, 1645, 1998)
Gouge was one of the many English
Covenanters who swore the Solemn League and Covenant. He also sat in the
Westminster Assembly. This sermon (read by Lyndon Dohms) was preached in the days
of the sitting of this Assembly (Sept. 24, 1645), before the House of Peers
assembled in the English Parliament, during a public fast. It is also available
in printed form ($5.98 P, $15.00 HP).
Here Gouge encourages the civil rulers in their
duty as nursing fathers (Isa. 49:23) to the church -- in furthering the
covenanted Reformation of his day. Much attention
is also paid to Reformation eschatology as it is witnessed in the unfolding of
history according to God's decree. Gouge
offers great encouragement to Christians living in evil times, as he points to
the day when "the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of
the LORD, as the waters cover the sea" (Hab. 2:14); demonstrating throughout
how the gospel continues to march forward to triumph over the forces of
darkness -- with special attention to the manner in which God was using the
second Reformation to crush both the civil and ecclesiastical beasts of
Revelation.
Gouge was a postmillennialist
and historicist, and he defends this position from Scripture (and history)
throughout this sermon. This is a good example of the type of preaching that fueled
the Puritan revolution in the British Isles in the mid-seventeenth century.

HISLOP, ALEXANDER
The Two Babylons or the Papal
Worship Proved to Be the Worship of Nimrod and His Wife (1916)
Contrasts
the distinctive characteristics of the truth with the lies and idolatry of the
Roman antichrist.
Chapters cover the "Objects of Worship," "Festivals,"
"Doctrine and Discipline," "Rites and Ceremonies,"
"Religious Orders," and the development
of the two systems considered "Historically and Prophetically."
The prophetic section is especially interesting and
shows how far Protestants have moved into Rome's camp concerning eschatology.
The whole book, in fact, shows in a most explicit manner how much Romanism has
infected the modern Protestant churches and their thinking. And as Hislop notes,
it
has been known all along that Popery was baptised Paganism; but God is now
making it manifest, that the Paganism which Rome has baptised is, in all its
essential elements, the very Paganism which prevailed in the ancient literal
Babylon, when Jehovah opened before Cyrus the two-leaved gates of brass, and
cut in sunder the bars of iron."
A welcome
rebuke to those who would offer the right hand of fellowship to the "beast
from the sea." 330 pages.

DAVID
Christ's Second Coming: Will
It Be Premillennial? (1882, 1990)
One
of the most devastating books ever written against premillennialism.
Ken Gentry says
of it,
As
The New Schaff-Herzog Religious Encyclopedia observed, this work is widely
regarded "a classic." And classics, especially evangelical classics,
well deserve a new hearing by a new generation of Christians... The present
work is Brown's postmillennial argument against premillennialism (which he once
endorsed). In Part One of the work he presents a devastating nine fold argument, organized around
nine propositions, against the premillennial system as it was presented
in the early and mid-1800's. In Part Two he presents a postmillennial view of the spirituality
of the millennium against the backdrop of the carnal, political millennium of
premillennialism. In the final Part of the book
he considers seven of the leading objections
to his views and very capably responds to them... Having
read it I wondered how premillennialism survived its penetrating analysis...
Consequently, I am delighted at the republication of this classic,
especially this particular edition, which is a later one than that published by
Baker Book House in 1983. It should be noted that Brown's
work went through several editions during his lifetime... The
republication of this work is particularly important today... I commend Reg
Barrow and Still Waters Revival Books for offering this edition of David
Brown's Christ's Second Coming: Will It Be Premillennial? May the Lord of Glory
be pleased to give a renewed vision to his Church of a conquering Christ, Who
is both Savior and Lord!

Resource 38. BROWN,
DAVID
(Contemporary introductions by Reg
Barrow & Steve Schlissel)
Hal Lindsey and the
Restoration of the Jews (1861, 1990)
And
so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion
the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my
covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. As concerning the
gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are
beloved for the fathers' sakes. For the gifts and calling of God are without
repentance (Romans 11:26-29).
O
to see the sight, next to Christ's coming in the clouds, the most joyful! Our
elder brethren the Jews and Christ fall upon one another; they will be kind to
one another when they meet. O day! O longed for and lovely day-dawn! O sweet
Jesus, let me see that sight which will be as life from the dead, thee and thy
ancient people in mutual embraces (Samuel Rutherford, Letters, 1635).
This book
echoes Rutherford's biblical sentiment throughout. It includes a short
testimony by Reg Barrow describing his rejection of
dispensationalism as a young Christian and noting why he brought this book
into print.
A 44 page
preface (by Schlissel) recounts the historic
Reformed position concerning Israel (which was written before
Schlissel himself rejected the historic Reformed view of worship) -- citing
many quotations (like Rutherford's above) in exposing Hal Lindsey's
outrageous inaccuracies and gross misrepresentations of the Reformation
position (regarding the restoration of the Jews).
Finally,
the bulk of the book consists of David Brown's classic work focusing on Romans
11, The Restoration of the Jews (1861). This is the same David
Brown that had a hand in the Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary and whose "most
enduring work... Christ's Second Coming: Will It Be Premillennial? ...remains the classic evangelical polemic against
premillennialism" (Dictionary of Scottish Church History and
Theology,
p. 97). In short, this book demonstrates that
Scripture teaches (and the best Reformation theologians concur) that the future
will be most glorious for the Jews -- when they, as a people, are draw by God's
irresistible grace to the Lord Jesus Christ. 200 pages.

Messiah, Governor of the
Nations of the Earth (1803)
Proclaims Christ's Kingship and
mediatorial dominion over all the nations of the earth. Shows how the idea of
a so-called religiously "neutral" or pluralistic state is a sinful
affront to a holy God (breaking the very first commandment at a nation level).
An excellent, easy-to-read and popular introductory volume of 47 pages. For a
more extensive treatment of this subject see William Symington's Messiah the

Nation Shaking Reformation
Promoted
A classic sermon by a modern-day Puritan! Deals
with the major facets of national Reformation from the Old and New Testaments,
as well as providing historic examples of how and why God blesses this biblical
pattern. Explains the duties of the church, state
and individual in bringing about national covenanted Reformation. Includes notes on the importance of covenanting with God
(individually and corporately) and on the forthcoming covenant renewal (of the Solemn
League and Covenant) in Edmonton. Exposes tolerationism and
religious pluralism as sin, gives instruction on
the "two sons of oil" in Zechariah's prophecy, and provides direction
(from the Lord's prayer as expounded by the Westminster Divines in the Larger
Catechism) on the kind of prayer that changes the world, destroys the work of
the devil, and honors and glorifies God. Reformation
eschatology also gets its due here. This sermon should be a great
encouragement to those that have been given the grace to see the bigger picture
regarding what God is doing in the world today --
and the certain world-changing Reformation that is to come during the
prophesied millennium!

SYMINGTON, WILLIAM
Messiah the Prince or, the
Mediatorial Dominion of Jesus Christ (1884)
This is the standard work on the
kingdom of God in English! There is nothing else like it; it is
one-of-a kind! It covers the necessity, reality, and qualifications of
Christ's dominion over not only the church, but all nations too. Anything less
is to rob Christ of His magnificent, majestic, mediatorial glory -- for He is
the King of kings and Lord of lords. "While books on the priestly work of the
Redeemer, and especially on the Atonement, are numerous," notes the
introduction to the American edition, "no formal and exhaustive discussion
of the kingly office of the Messiah... and its application to various classes
of moral agents is elsewhere to be found... It is cause for satisfaction that
the only treatise, as yet, upon this subject, is a work of signal ability,
lucid in arrangement, reverent in spirit, and with hardly an exception, sound
and judicious in its conclusion. Its very merits
are probably, in part, the reason why no other work on the same subject has
appeared, and until it is supplanted by a better work -- an event not likely
soon to occur -- it will have a value peculiar to itself."
Chapters include "The Necessity of the
Mediatorial Dominion," "The Universality of the Mediatorial
Dominion," "The Mediatorial Dominion Over the Church," and
"Over the Nations," plus much more.
In short, this is a unique book
devoted to the absolute Kingship and dominion of the Lord Jesus Christ -- over
all heaven and earth!
And He will continue His present reign from heaven until every enemy of His is
conquered, "For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his
feet" (1 Cor. 15:25). 360 pages.

WILLSON, JAMES R.
Prince Messiah's Claims to
Dominion Over All Governments: and the Disregard of His Authority by the United
States in the Federal Constitution (1832)
The reality of Christ's kingship explored
and vindicated from Scripture, with application to the United States
constitution.
The author's conclusions have far-reaching consequences and should be looked at
seriously by all Christians, whether they reside in the United States or not
(for the biblical principles enumerated here also apply to other nations). We,
today, are seeing the desolation of kingdoms worldwide (through wars, famines,
disease, unjust taxation, immorality, etc.) by the wrath of the Lamb, much of
which can be attributed to national ignorance of this doctrine. "Kiss the
Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath be kindled
but a little" (Psalm 2:12). This book will go a long way to exposing the
fact, as Willson writes, that "ungodly men
have occupied, and do now occupy, many of the official stations, in the
government," and that "Tyrants are yet on their thrones, and unholy
republics refuse to acknowledge Him (Christ--RB) as Lord of all." 48 pages.

WILLSON, JAMES R.
The Subjection of Kings and
Nations to Messiah (1820)
A lengthy sermon of 64 pages preached Dec. 6,
1819. Based on the text: "All Kings shall bow
down before him: all nations shall serve him" (Ps. 72:11).
Maintains that this text refers to a commanded duty, concerning Christ not
Solomon, and should be translated "Let all kings bow down before him: Let
all nations serve him." Explains this national duty, enquires as to how it
is to be nationally preformed, then proceeds to make practical application of
the subject. Shows that nations have a duty, as
nations, to bind themselves to Christ by covenant, to consecrate themselves to
Him, to swear allegiance to Him (as their King and Lord), and to obey all His
holy law! Furthermore, Willson maintains that it is a great sin for
nations to remain in rebellion against Christ by not performing these duties.
He also demonstrates how and why a high-handed sin of this nature brings
corporate guilt upon the nation. Moreover, this sin provokes God to wrath (as
seen in an escalation of national calamities), until the day, barring
repentance, that the national "cup of wrath" overflows. Also contains helpful direction regarding the
individual's social responsibility as a Christian in times of national
corporate defection from Christ's crown and covenant (i.e in times exactly like
those that we live in).
