Excerpt from The Apocalypse Interpreted, Vol. 2: In the Light of "the Day of the Lord," In accomplishing a Second Volume of this work, the Author cannot find himself brought so far through his undertaking, amidst much to interrupt, without again recording his thanks to the God of all grace, who has permitted him, however humbly, thus to vindicate the Apocalypse from the cabalistical character so generally assigned to it; and to show, by actual examination, that the direction in which to look for its fulfilments, lies not in the history of Christendom which is past, and deposited in human records, - but rather in that of Israel, which is yet to come, as rehearsed in the other prophecies of Scripture. Of course, this impugning of the popular system of interpretation was not a thing to be brooked by its patrons, and so the Author has had to encounter the measure of animadversion usual on such occasions. Nor does he by any means except to this. Fair discussion, he reflects, is ever promotive of the cause of truth.
