Moses Lowman was an eighteenth-century man and was a contemporary of Jonathan Edwards. Among his peers Lowman was recognized as being most proficient in Hebraic studies. This fact is most notable because of the critically important principle of interpreting scripture with scripture. Much of the figurative language used in the Revelation is reflective and is directly derived from the Old Testament. Having this expertise is most useful when attempting to decipher the most obscure book ever written, The Revelation of St John. I believe it was this expertise along with the vast proliferation of very knowledgeable theologians publishing interpretations of the Revelation, from the Reformation to his own era, enabled Moses Lowman to submit a definitive work on the subject.
