Excerpt from Dissertations on the Opening of the Sealed Book: Illustrating the Prophetic Signs Used in Daniel and the Revelation The title of the book, The Revelation of Jesus Christ, occupy ing the first three verses, has been already noticed, and the purpose for which this Revelation was given; but the manner in which it was shown to John, to be by him communicated to his fellow-servants, is particularly expressed, and should also be attended to - it was signified, displayed by? Signs. It is only by carefully considering these signs, and comparing them with the signs, types, and figures made use of by the prophets (to whose word we are exhorted to take heed, as we would do unto a light shining before us in a dark place), that we can be blessed, as were the faithful in Israel, while they meditated on the wonders of that law which was the bringer in of a better hope; and, like them, understanding the loving kindness of the Lord, be led to look for the incorruptible inheritance.
