Synopsis

The Apocalypse Of St. John: Or Prophecy Of The Rise, Progress, And Fall Of The Church Of Rome; The Inquisition; The Revolution Of France; The Universal War; And The Final Triumph Of Christianity. Being A New Interpretation by George Croly. George Croly's The Apocalypse Of St. John offers a historical-eschatological interpretation of the New Testament's Apocalypse, arguing that it records the rise and fall of major civil and religious powers from the early Christian era to the end of time. Croly outlines six major sections: an introduction to the Apocalypse, a structured reading of the Seals, Trumpets, and Vials, and an examination of the Vision of the Church, the rise and fall of Paganism, the Papacy and Inquisition, the Revolution of France, and the final triumph of Christianity. He asserts that the Apocalypse not only predicts events such as the rise of the Papacy, the Inquisition, and the French Revolution but also serves as a warning against idolatry and infidelity, urging faithful Protestant nations—especially England—to preserve constitutional liberty and biblical truth. The work includes polemical Preface and Introduction, followed by detailed exegesis of each chapter and a broad, connected narrative of Church history as it relates to prophecy.
