And I will show WONDERS in the heavens and in the earth" (Joel ii. 29, 30). "Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing WONDERS?" (Exod. xv. 11). "Thou art the God that doest WONDER3" (Psa. lxxvii. 14). Sing unto the Lord-declare his glory among the heathen, his WONDERS among all people. For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth" (Psa. xcvi. 2, 3, 13). "O give thanks to the Lord of lords, to him who alone doeth great WONDERS" (Psa. cxxxvi. 3, 4). "They that dwell on the earth shall WONDER, when they behold the wild beast that was, and is not, and yet is" (Rev. xvii. 8). "And there appeared a great wONDER in heaven.-And there appeared another WONDER in heaven" (Rev. xii. 1, 3). "And I beheld another wild beast coming up out of the earth.

THE outline of the present treatise on COMING WONDERS was drawn up by the author three years ago, in the latter part of 1862, and has been in preparation ever since, but it has been hitherto delayed in its completion by various causes. The type-setting of it was commenced in November, 1865. Its leading views were, however, briefly stated in the author's pamphlet, "The Coming Battle," in 1860, and in his treatise on Louis Napoleon in 1861-2. The pages of this book are enriched with valuable quotations from prophetic expositions, which are not within the reach of many people, owing to their high price or from being out of print. It should be particularly observed that these extracts are invariably, according to customary usage, enclosed between inverted commas to distinguish them from the author's own remarks, and are in some cases necessarily abbreviated. The prayers of Christ's people are requested for the Holy Spirit's influence to accompany the teachings of these prophetic works, and their author. Believers in these views will find the pamphlets-"The Coming Battle" (32 pages, 2d.), and the threepenny abridgment of the Napoleon treatise (96 pages) very useful for distribution in their respective neighbourhoods. It may also be mentioned that as it is the author's aim and desire to send gratuitously one or other of these pamphlets to as many ministers as possible, especially in country places and distant colonies, where such information is not easily obtainable, and particularly during the present postal facilities for spreading information, before they are greatly impeded by approaching wars and revolutions; with this object, any sum of money can be sent to Messrs. J. Wright and Co., printers, Thomas Street, Bristol, England, for the gratis circulation of these prophetic works, by persons who may wish thus to help in disseminating these views. The author has received many applications from ministers in the Southern States of America for a gratuitous supply of copies of his books. Any communications for the author, who is in England, will reach him, if directed to the publisher of this book, or from American correspondents, if directed to Messrs. J. Claxton and Co., 606, Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, U.S. December, 1865. Postscript in August, 1866.-The printing and publication of this treatise has not been fully completed until August, 1866, but the commencing portion, comprising the first six wonders, was all stereotyped in 1865. The prophetic conclusion, expressed in the second wonder, that the Austrian empire would ere long be broken up, and Venetia re-annexed to Italy, was also stated and maintained in the appendix on Menacing Perils in Britain and America, added in April, 1865, to the author's Napoleon treatise, 1013828 |
