Excerpt from The Revelation of John: Its Own Interpreter in Virtue of the Double Version in Which It Is Delivered If the author succeeds in presenting to the Christian world for its decision the question, whether the prophecy of the Revelation be double or not, he will regard his labors as eminently successful. He believes this question will be answered in the affirmative, and its answer in the affirmative will be a matter of no small consequence. That its bearing on the interpretation of the book will be productive of the best results, is apparent to every one. If John has delivered his prophecy in two versions, containing each two sets of symbols precisely correspondent in significance, the prophet is evidently, to a very great extent, his own interpreter. That he is the best of all interpreters, few will doubt. The question itself as to the existence of a Double Version is evidently one which lies at the very threshhold of the interpretation of the book, and as it now asks for a fair hearing, it will certainly receive it from those - and ought not the number to comprehend all Christians - who are interested in "the sayings of the prophecy of this book."
