This book is very helpful for those that follow the historistic view of prophecy. It is well done and well illustrated. It presents the prophecy teachings of the Protestant pioneers and was what the bulk of the church of Christ believed until around 1830 when the futuristic pretrib teaching became more popular. I am a firm follower of the historistic view of prophecy. This is a good introduction to this view of prophecy and is also very helpful for the beginner as well as the advanced student of Biblical prophecy.
