ought to be no prejudice to the credit and authority of this book that
|
||
|
|
it has been rejected by men of corrupt minds, such as Cerdon and
|
||
|
|
Marcion, and doubted of by men of a better character; for this has been
|
||
|
|
the lot of other parts of holy writ, and of the divine Author of the
|
||
|
|
scripture himself. The image and superscription of this book are truly
|
||
|
|
sacred and divine, and the matter of it agreeable with other
|
||
|
|
prophetical books, particularly Ezekiel and Daniel; the church of God
|
||
|
|
has generally received it, and found good counsel and great comfort in
|
||
|
|
it. From the beginning, the church of God has been blessed with
|
||
|
|
prophecy. That glorious prediction of breaking the serpent's head was
|
||
|
|
the stay and support of the patriarchal age; and the many prophecies
|
||
|
|
there were concerning the Messiah to come were the gospel of the Old
|
||
|
|
Testament. Christ himself prophesied of the destruction of Jerusalem;
|
||
|
|
and, about the time in which that was accomplished, he entrusted the
|
||
|
|
apostle John with this book of revelation, to deliver it to the church
|
||
|
|
as a prediction of the most important events that should happen to it
|
||
|
|
to the end of time, for the support of the faith of his people and the
|
||
|
|
direction of their hope. It is called the <I>Revelation,</I> because
|
||
|
|
God therein discovers those things which could never have been sifted
|
||
|
|
out by the reasonings of human understanding, those deep things of God
|
||
|
|
which no man knows, but the Spirit of God, and those to whom he reveals
|
||
|
|
them.</P>
