Lochman [Journal Article] True Christianity: A Treatise on Sincere Repentance, True Faith, The Holy Walk of the True Christian, Etc. by John Arndt Lincoln's Gettysburg World Message by Henry Eyster Jacobs Forty Years In The Church of Christ by Charles Chiniquy Featured The Key to the Apocalypse by Henry Grattan Guinness “It is an unquestionable fact that the intimately related prophecies of Daniel and John contain seven divinely given interpretations, and it is evident that these must constitute the only infallible basis of exposition. “In building on them, we build not on the shifting sands of human opinion, but on the stable rock of revealed truth. Without such a foundation no interpretation of Daniel and the Apocalypse can be secure and trustworthy, as resting upon divine authority, but can only stand on ‘begged principles and mere human conjectures.’ The basis on which we build is divine interpretation.” “May the Divine Spirit, who ‘searches all things, yea the deep things of God,’ enlighten us to understand these sublime and sacred prophecies, and sanctify us through the knowledge of the Truth.” — H. Grattan Guinness On This Page Henry Grattan Guinness (1835-1910) was an Irish Protestant Christian preacher, evangelist and author. He started Harley College, also known as the East London Missionary Training School. A traveling preacher, he drew thousands to hear him during the Ulster Revival of 1859. Rev. Guinness trained and sent hundreds of “faith missionaries” all over the world. [Wikipedia] Level of Difficulty: Primer: No subject matter knowledge needed. Book Contents Preface 1.
