Prophecy Is History Written In Advance: The Book of Revelation

H. Grattan Guinness writes in "History Unveiling Prophecy": "We are wearied with vain speculations as to the meaning of prophecy which have no other foundation than the assertions of men" (such as Futurism, Preterism and Idealism). "We are wearied with speculations as to imaginary future fulfillments of prophecies which have been plainly accomplished before our eyes in the past...Alas! The speculations of men have clouded these facts and brought into disrepute the Holy Word of God..."

"Modern historical interpreters of the Apocalypse are in good company; they stand with the church fathers, the confessors, the martyrs, the Reformers, with men who suffered for the truth they believed, and were guided and inspired by the interpretations they have handed down to posterity."
