Shabbat Shalom again.
This time around, I thought I’d go ahead and bring about the use of actual books that I had found that come from the 16th-20th centuries when futurism and preterism were not the norm — but instead, it was historicism.
Nowadays, almost nobody decides to study the historical fulfillment of bible prophecy, as we are in the Ekklesia era of Laodecia, where we feel that we’re rich in truth, and that we are in need of nothing. This makes us, however, wicked, poor, miserable and hungry, for we do not accept a need of something. This need of something points to an alternative explanation against the false futuristic explanations of the book of Revelation, the 70th week of Daniel 9 and the Olivet discourse of Matthew 23-24 and Luke 21.
That said, though, I present some books you may want to find on the internet to ensure you understand the proper context for these three sets of prophecy to become a true student, just like these individuals were. I’ll be using AI summation before writing that in my summarized style in order to explain how this goes for me.
Horae Apocolypticae
The first book set that will be recommended is the 4-volume, 2,500-page epic called Horae Apocolypticae, which is Latin for Hours With The Apocalypse. This work is written by E.B. Elliot, and this singular work of 4 volumes boasts over 10,000+ references to prove Elliot’s arguments, specifically when it comes to Revelation (which was called Apocalypse back in the day). That said, almost nobody will read this due to the length of these books. To fix this, there are people like David Nikao Wilcoxson who essentially break up the books, and use the best of the best in order to explain themselves. If you’re confused about any of this, look at the audiobook version of Seventy Weeks: The Historical Alternative produced by Tearing Down Idols’ Paul Matrijean.
Horae Apocolypticae is one of the biggest works there is in understanding the book of Revelation. In addition to the 10,000+ references for Elliot’s arguments, it also points to many things that explain how the book of Revelation is a sort of war manual. This I had explained in Why I Must Call Out the Roman Catholic Church and the Jesuit Order, which is why I’m absolutely disgusted by their actions. This includes, but isn’t limited to, the alteration of the Scriptures, which from what I’m gathering, may have been with the King James 1611 Version (which destroyed the 1599 Geneva Bible, the version I cherish so deeply).
The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire
While not a believer in Messiah, this legendary work by Edward Gibbon outlines the exact historical fulfillment of Revelation, from the 1st seal to the 6th trumpet… and it’s from 1776. As was mentioned in a previous read, I had talked about how we still have the 7th trumpet and the 7th vial left to be fulfilled. I also talked about how we’re currently in then 6th vial, waiting for WWIII and the global economic collapse to occur in order that the Jesuits force the New World Order down our throats.
This is a 6-volume tome that, as I had said earlier, outlines the exact fulfillment of the scrolls and the trumpets. Again, while he wasn’t a believer, historicists believe Gibbon was used in order to paint a picture of how Revelation would be fulfilled at the time. This fulfillment would be starting with the Jewish-Roman war of 66-70 AD, which would be the Great Tribulation (as it lasted 3 1/2 years). Futurists will get this wrong, saying that it’s for the End Times, which is not true.
This war was described by Josephus (who was Jewish by faith) due to the horror of the scene for that length of time. This was when the Roman Beast Kingdom was conquering even the likes of Jerusalem and other kingdoms in preparation for the rule of the Papacy, which lasted from 538-1798 after the last Western Roman emperor would lose power in 476. Otherwise, it’s a fantastic read if you can find it.
History Unveiling Prophecy
Next comes a work by H.G. Guinness, who was the most well known historicist eschatological writer in existence. His work is revered by even some of the most devout historicists out there, especially since anybody willing to understand prophecy properly go directly to him. That said, his other works include the likes of The Approaching End of the Age, Key to the Apocalypse, Light for the Last Days, Romanism and the Reformation, and even this book.
History Unveiling Prophecy talks about how historical events essentially made prophecy true by the ties and pointers to Revelation and Daniel. This is to point at the many different events at the time it was written (1905), which were current history at the time. Despite the time period, it’s still a must-read for many people who want to understand what Revelation and Daniel pointed to years ago, and what Revelation still points to even today.
The Seventh Vial
This is a book written by James Aitken Wylie in 1846, which is a theological explanation of Revelation. However, it focuses on the 7th vial, which points to the New World Order in later books from different authors. Wylie digs deep into the language of Revelation, interpreting the seventh vial as a pointer to divine judgment against the Roman Catholic Church. There are parallels between the biblical prophecies and the social upheavals of the time (these are called earthquakes in Revelation), providing a specific foundation for understanding contemporary events through a spiritual lens.
This book also provides an analysis of the revolutions in Europe during the mid-19th century. The arguments are essentially this: these revolutions are not just political phenomena, but are part of Messiah’s divine plan. Connecting historical events to biblical prophecy, Wylie offers a point of view that sees the hand of Messiah (not Yah) in the changes of the era, which were harsh. This perspective allows him to present a narrative integrating spiritual faith (outside of Christianity, Judaism and Islam) with current affairs at the time, making “The Seventh Vial” quite a contribution to both theological and political discourse at the time.
While he doesn’t mention, I’ll add in an anecdote of my own, wherein the sun, moon and stars point to political leadership systems, and their darkening points to the collapse of those particular systems. 66-70 AD, aka the Great Tribulation or the Jewish-Roman War, was the darkening of the Jewish leadership — but it was also an earthquake that occurred during the first seal (the White Horse).
Conclusion
There are way more books that I could get into, but these are the ones I’d recommend you start with, as these explain the historical fulfillment of the prophecies better than I could ever imagine doing. That said, though, it’s worth noting that not all of these authors agreed on some minute details. Despite that, they all painted the exact same larger picture of Revelation specifically, but also the 70th Week of Daniel and the Olivet Discourse in some cases (as could have been the case with Gibbon to a certain extent). However, there are way more authors who understood exactly what the Catholic Church and the Jesuit Order do not want you, the historicist, to understand. For if you do, then you know too much, and they would have to kill you. This will be because you have not revered (mark on the forehead) or obeyed (mark on the right hand) the office of the Papacy, and the office of the Jesuit Superior General. Many people sadly do.
That’s all I have for these recommendations to get you started.
