Excerpt from Discourses Showing the Structure and Unity of the Apocalypse, Vol. 3 of 3: The Order and Connexion of Its Prophecies How Far They Have Yet Been Fulfilled What Part of Them Remains to Be Accomplished and the Principal Events Which May Still Be Expected, in the Course of Divine Providence, Before the Millennium CommenceAnd we must beware in our interpreta tion of regarding every occurrence which may appear great in our eyes, as the effusion of a Vial of Divine wrath. Every vial, like every trumpet, must have a powerful and permanent influence in changing the state of society. But this difference will appear that the changes introduced by the first four trumpets deteriorated society, and strengthened the antichristian interest; and that though the fifth and sixth were woes to the inhabiters of the earth, yet they served to display the power of the enemies of our Redeemer, and to prepare for their overthrow, rather than to realize it in any considerable degree; but that the change introduced by every vial shall tell powerfully in the improvement of society, and in the advancement of our Redeemer's interest among men.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
