Synopsis

""The Apocalypse of St. John or Prophecy of the Rise, Progress and Fall of the Church of Rome"" is a religious text written by George Croly. The book is an interpretation of the biblical book of Revelation, which describes the end of the world and the second coming of Christ. Croly's interpretation focuses on the role of the Roman Catholic Church in these events, and he argues that the church will rise to power before ultimately falling and being replaced by a new order. The book is written in a poetic and prophetic style, using vivid imagery and symbolism to convey its message. It is an important work for those interested in religious prophecy and the history of the Catholic Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

There is the strongest reason for believing, that as Judsea was chosen for the especial guardianship of the original Revelation; so has England been chosen for the especial guardianship of Christianity. The original Revelation declared the one true God; Paganism was its corruption, by substituting many false gods for the true. The second Revelation, Christianity, declared the one true Mediator; Popery was its corruption, by substituting many false mediators for the true. Both Paganism and Popery adopted the same visible sign of corruption, the worship of I mages. The Jewish history opens to us a view of the acting of Providence with a people appointed to the preservation of the faith of God. Every tendency to receive the surrounding Idolatries into a participation of the honours of the true worship, every idolatrous touch was visited with punishment, and that punishment not left to the remote working of the corruption, but immediate, and, by its directness, evidently designed to make the nation feel the high importance of the trust, and the final ruin that must follow its betrayal.
