The Great Exodus Or The Time Of The End James Aitken Wylie by James Aitken Wylie instant download after payment.

"In the Word of God there are two whole books of Prophecy, — the Book of Daniel, and the Revelation of John. These we may liken to two parallel lines. They run on to the very frontier of the Millennium, — nay, all through its many blissful ages, — and terminate only where time itself terminates, — at the gates of eternity.

"To foretell the future is the prerogative of God alone. Not less is it God’s exclusive prerogative to interpret the future. In truth, Prophecy can never be clearly and satisfactorily understood till the finger of Providence has unveiled what the voice of Prophecy had announced. Man’s humble part is to sit down, and, by an attentive and patient comparison of the two, to seek to understand what the spirit of Prophecy did signify, when He spake in old time of the things that were to come to pass hereafter. Such a task, it is true, is but little fitted to gratify man’s pride: it is the only task, nevertheless, for which he is competent. If, from interpreting Prophecy, he shall fall to prophesying, it is not difficult to foretell the result: he will wander from light into darkness.

"Do we seek to know principles rather than events? Are we desirous of learning lessons, rather than of fixing dates? If so, then we shall find Prophecy a field in which lie hid treasures of inestimable price, whose value will amply repay all the pains we may bestow upon the search for them. —J.A. Wylie, from chapter 1.
