A Set of Histories

THE Bible, with history and prophecy, is a sword before which every word opposed to its teachings must fall. The Bible predicted events to happen in our past; history proves they occurred. This fact is conclusive proof that other prophecies, as yet unfulfilled, will come to pass.

It is well to make statements that such and such kings and kingdoms ruled during certain periods, and that certain things took place during their reign; but do you have a history to which you can turn and prove your assertions? It is this that carries conviction with your statements. If you have not, you should have a set of the histories written by Elder A. T. Jones.

Volume I, “Empires of the Bible,” is a history of the time from the fall of Babylon to the captivity. Research in Babylon and Egypt have brought to light many valuable historical records inscribed on stone. These records the author has connected with Bible statements, showing how they agree.

Volume II, “The Great Empires of Prophecy,” is a history of the times from Babylon to the fall of Rome, with particular attention to the prophecies of the book of Daniel, and the quotations from more than eighty standard histories bring the writings of these historians to your hand in one volume, so that you have their own language, and therefore a veritable cyclopedia of history.

Volume III, “The Ecclesiastical Empire,” contains an account of all the principal events that have affected civil government and tended to the establishment of ecclesiastical authority, from the time of the fall of Rome to the present day. It contains a good history of the Reformation and compendium of the principles of true Christianity, the reason for our National Apostasy, and a full treatise upon the Union of Church and State. 874 pages.

After reading the preceding, the advantages to be gained from possessing this set of histories is apparent. Every library should contain them, and especially every Seventh-day Adventist teacher, minister, and student should possess them.
