That harlot is the same old woman, which is called in the 17th chapter of the Revelation, "the mother of harlots and abominations," and the giant is the representative of the Beast, at this time Pius ix, carrying on his shoulders the whole burden of abominations and blasphemies of the whole succession of the apostles whose master is the apocalyptical dragon, who has given him "power, seat and great authority," Revel. xiii: 2.
Doubtless these are only a few of the great number of apocalyptical books which those ages produced. Their characteristics are well set forth by Dr. Davidson: "This branch of later Jewish literature took its rise after the older prophecy had ceased, when Israel suffered sorely from Syrian and Roman oppression.
Since the superscriptions to the Psalter were only very late additions, the question still remains, What was the basis of the late Jewish tradition that makes David the father of the psalm literature, as was Solomon of the wisdom, Moses of the legal, and Enoch of the apocalyptical? The other Old Testament books give no direct answer.
The gentleman who was indicated in this apocalyptical vision, it appeared, simply bore a singular likeness to a reigning Hanoverian family, which for some unexplained reason he had contented himself with bearing with fortitude and patience. But it was in his official capacity that the consul's experience had been the most trying.
Of this opinion are many of our Apocalyptical men, that study more future events than their present only." In fact, however, the Chiliasts or Millenarians were hardly a mere sect. The expectation of a Millennium near at hand was very prevalent, or was becoming very prevalent, among the English Divines of the Assembly itself.
The King saw it, and all the rest, which made him say unto the Marquis, you played an after-game well; and that now he had no reason to be much offended. "I have already talked of the Revelation, and now am to speak in apocalyptical language, which I hope you will rightly comment: whereof if you make difficulty, the bearer can help you with the key of the cypher.
Although the Chinese astronomers may have recognized the aerial machine as the moving body that had given rise to such disputes, it was to the Celestial million, from the humblest tankader to the best-buttoned mandarin, an apocalyptical monster appearing in the sky of Buddha. The crew of the "Albatross" troubled themselves very little about these demonstrations.
The Beast with Seven Heads; or, the Apocalyptical Warning. No Truce with the Vatican. The True Cause of Irish Disaffection. Decline of the Latin Nations. Anglo-Saxons the Chosen Race, and their connexion with the Ten Lost Tribes: with a map. Finally, a very large book at the bottom of the case called Giant Pope. And it was no use asking for the money back or protesting.
We have these symbolisms in several of the Old Testament writings as well as in many of the apocalyptical books which are not in our canon; and the interpretation of such passages is not at all difficult when we understand the usage of the writers.
John may not have been a practiced litterateur, but he certainly had literary sense and feeling enough to know how to put a very different color and atmosphere into an apocalyptical writing from that which he would employ in a report of the life and words of Jesus.
