Biblical Apocalyptics: A Study of the Most Notable Revelations of God and of Christ in the Canonical Scriptures
Overview
Taking a less radical approach than his contemporaries, Terry evaluates the creation and apocalyptic passages of the Bible—specifically Genesis, Isaiah, Daniel, and Revelation—and produces his own criticism. Framed within the scope of reasonable dogmatics, this volume completes Terry’s trilogy of biblical interpretation and doctrine.

“This number, like all others in the book, is symbolical, made up of forty times forty, the number of judgment and penalty (Num. 14:34; Gen. 7:12), and thus suggestive of a retribution fearfully intensified.” (Page 413)
“The horns are here, as elsewhere, symbols of power, and the seven suggests the perfection of power possessed by the lamb.” (Page 323)
“A harlot in the prophetical sense is one who has broken the vows and bonds of the marriage covenant by any infidelity to the obligations of such union.” (Page 427)
