Full text

What it is

A chapter-by-chapter commentary on Revelation read on futurist lines, with charts of the seals, trumpets and bowls and of the order Larkin takes the visions to follow. Larkin drew his own charts and they carry the argument: the books were printed around them, and readers came to them for the diagrams as much as the prose.

Why it lasted

The most widely circulated of Larkin's commentaries and the one that carried his charts furthest. Useful for seeing how a futurist reading handles the text verse by verse; it is one such reading, and the Library holds patristic and Reformation commentary on the same book.
