THE APOCALYPSE AND HISTORY

The Christadelphian, Birmingham, 1969.  Hard cover, 218 pages plus Bibliography.  Very good; corners and spine ends bumped with a bit of wear and fraying; a few small spots on boards; binding sound.  Prior owner’s info on FEP; remainder of interior clean and unmarked, pages lightly tanned; illustrated with black & white maps and tables.  ‘With growing Russian presence in the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean, and increasing influence in the Arab countries surrounding Israel, the point of pressure is more and more on the Middle East.  There, as Revelation shows in harmony with much Old Testament prophecy, the great crisis will come which is to issue in the establishment of the Kingdom of God under the rule of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.  The Apocalypse and History thus provides an illuminating study and a point of departure for further study for those who accept – or wish to examine – the general principles of interpretation on which it is based.  As explained in the Preface to the edition of 1949, the book was re-written and extensively revised by W. H. Boulton, bringing it up to the point of the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.  It is this Fourth Edition which is now reprinted.’ (from Foreword)
