In this exceptional manual, Henry Grattan Guinness focuses upon the early church beliefs with examinations of the books of Daniel, Paul and John. Guinness writes in a lively and energetic style, which today serves to keep his books accessible to the modern generations. The various lore of the New Testament, and the prophecies which the books within it predicted, remain a topic of fascination to religious scholars and Christian believers alike. Romanism is a negative term for Catholicism, which in the late 19th century received strong opposition from various Protestant denominations. Guinness cites the words and writings of the ancient saints of the early church as evidence that the Catholic church became the embodiment of Babylon as depicted in the Book of Revelation. This title is adapted from a series of lectures Guinness delivered during the late 19th century at the Protestant Educational Institute at Exeter Hall. This building in central London was later demolished in 1907, hitherto becoming famous for hosting various seminars in the spirit of social change and reforms. It was thus that Guinness, with his unique and convincing interpretations of the Bible, was welcomed with open arms. Perhaps most notably is the assertion by Guinness - which he supports with citations of the original scripture - that the Bible predicted the coming of the Antichrist. Writing so ably, Guinness renders a subject often impenetrable or mysterious, digestible and accessible. His beliefs that the Holy Roman Empire had a great role in fulfilling the prophecies is much-discussed and supported by citation of both scripture and events in history.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1887 edition. Excerpt: ... LECTURE VIII. DOUBLE FOREVIEW OF THE REFORMATION. IN our previous lectures we have considered from the standpoint of prophecy the great Papal system of Latin Christianity, and it now remains for us to show you, in this closing one, that the same mirror of the future which so fully reflected the coming Roman apostasy reflects as clearly that Reformation movement of the sixteenth century which emancipated from it myriads of mankind. This could hardly be otherwise. As prophecy traces the entire story of Roman rule, in both its pagan and Papal forms, and carries it on to a point even now future, it would not, of course, pass by unnoticed the most remarkable and noteworthy incident in the later section of its history. It could not omit from its anticipative record an episode so distinctly providential as that protestant exodus, which split western Christendom into two halves, and severed from the communion of Rome Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Holland, and Great Britain. It might well be omitted from Daniel's very distant foreview, but scarcely from the latter prophecy of John, when the incipient workings of the apostasy had already commenced. Neither the story of the apostate Church nor that of the true would be complete without it; for it was an episode of stupendous importance to the welfare of hundreds of millions of mankind through nine or ten generations, both to those whom it liberated from the superstitions and tyrannies of Rome, and to those on whom--by a counter movement--it rivetted her fetters more strongly than ever. What! should the ruin wrought by Romanism be plainly portrayed in advance on the prophetic page, and the revival produced by the Spirit of God and the word of His mouth be left altogether out of view? Should the...

Excerpt from Romanism and the Reformation: From the Standpoint of Prophecy These lectures, simple and popular as they are, will, it is hoped, open many minds to perceive that the Bible gives no uncertain sound as to Romanism, and that those who will be guided by its teachings must shun an apostasy against which the sorest judgments are denounced.
