Synopsis

The Signs Of The Times: Comprised In Ten Lectures, Designed To Show The Origin, Nature, Tendency, And Alliances Of The Present Popular Efforts For The Abolition Of Capital Punishment by Lebbeus Armstrong. This polemical tract, written in 1848, argues that capital punishment is a divinely ordained penalty and that abolition is a grave threat to Biblical authority. Rev. Armstrong, then in advanced years, delivers ten lectures that mobilize evangelical readers against reform movements, infidelity, and anti-scriptural critiques of the death penalty. The work combines Biblical exegesis, historical narratives, and prophetic interpretation to portray a cosmic struggle between godly restraint and secular modernity. It also surveys alleged alliances among Infidelity, Popery, and Mahometanism, and frames the anticipated millennium as a time when Bible truth will vindicate itself. Rich in dedication, preface, and a comprehensive table of contents, the book seeks to warn, exhort, and mobilize evangelical Christians toward resisting abolitionist and anti-Christian currents.
