Thoughts on the Times and Seasons of Sacred Prophecy
Overview
Finished by Thomas Birks’ son after he was taken ill, this volume contains four sections restating and expanding upon his ideas about the structure of Apocalypse and prophecy. Birks found his ideas and views misrepresented in Edward Bishop Elliott’s Horae Apocalypticae and set out to establish a correct understanding of his thinking on the Apocalypse.

“Now the three ratios, of the year to the day, of the month to the day, and the year to the month, are all incommensurable fractions. On the adjustment of these to each other by intercalation all the complexities of human calendars depend. The same causes enter still more profoundly into the system of sacred times; the revelation of Him who is not only the ‘Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last,’ but Palmoni, ‘The Wonderful Numberer’ (Dan. 8:13), who ‘hath determined the times before appointed,’ as well as ‘made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth.’” (Page 51)
