Christ and Antichrist in Prophecy and History

This very readable book is in harmony with the Historical School of Prophetic Interpretation, but also offers many new and sometimes startling insights.

1. Several chapters validate the identification of the Antichrist as taught by the sixteenth-century Reformers, Uriah Smith, and other writers. They refute both Preterism and Futurism.

2. The dragon, the beast and the false prophet cannot persecute the saints of the Most High with impunity. Again and again, calamities have afflicted the nations that supported them.

3. The Little Horn has made no fewer than fourteen changes to God's Law of Ten Commandments.

4. The Heruli, Vandals, and Ostrogoths-eliminated to promote the interests of the Little Horn-were not Arians, as is often asserted. Deriving their Christianity from Asia Minor, they did believe in the eternal preexistence of Christ and also see, to have observed the Saturday Sabbath. In common with most Teutonic people, these nations belonged to the Germanic Church. Like the related Celtic Church, they would not submit to the papacy; therefore, they were crushed by military force to ensure the triumph of Catholicism.
