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 Apocalypticaeyou 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 ApocalypticaeH. 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.

David Steele writes, "I can again cordially recommend to his attention the Lectures of Doctor M'Leod, asthe best expositionof those parts of the Apocalypse of which he treats, that has come under my notice."

"[A] massive theological treatise in the form of history," notesChristian Historymagazine (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.

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."

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 theJamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentaryand 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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

244 pages.

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.

Many Reformers considered the Papacy "the great Western Antichrist," and Islam "the great Eastern Antichrist." Read why in this book! Classic Protestant eschatology (Historicism) on what Bible prophecy teaches about the rise and fall of Islam -- and even what to expect in the future!

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.

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

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!
