Excerpt from Rationale Apocalypticum, Vol. 1: Or, a Systematic Exposition of the Apocalypse, With Historical Proofs and IllustrationsThe increased interest felt Of late years on the subject of prophecy, is one of the remarkable Signs of the times. This increased interest has been especially manifested in the publication of numerous commentaries on the Revelation since the commencement of the present century. Nearly thirty have come under my own Observation, and the actual number is probably much greater. It might be supposed, that so much having been written within so short a period on a single book of Scripture, the subject must by this time be more than exhausted, and that no additional light beyond what the many expositions of the Apocalypse already published afford, can be expected at present. This, however, is altogether a mistaken impression. I am disposed to think that the constant publication Of new commentaries in rapid succession, one after the other, differing very much in their schemes of interpretation, indicates, not that the subject is exhausted, but rather that much yet remains to be done, and that, in fact, the fundamental principles on which the Apocalyptic visions are constructed, as well as the meaning and application of some of its most important symbolizations, have yet to be brought to light.
