  • Summary

  • Part II, Chapter 2, "The Son of Man: Or, The Antithesis," from James Aitken Wylie's 'The Great Exodus': This chapter contrasts the kingdoms of the Beast and the Son of Man, highlighting their opposing natures and the unfolding of their respective reigns throughout Revelation. The Beast's kingdom, characterized by carnality, sensuality, tyranny, and idolatry, is gradually revealed through a series of increasingly powerful empires. Conversely, the Son of Man's kingdom, characterized by spiritual authority, justice, and truth, begins humbly but ultimately triumphs, ultimately leading to a peaceful and blessed world. The chapter emphasizes the contrasting symbolic imagery used to depict both kingdoms, ultimately highlighting the eventual triumph of good over evil.

Regarding these seven kingdoms, Hoffman's view is the following: "The five kings which are fallen are the Assyrian, Chaldean, Persian, Greek, and Antiochus; Rome's Caesar is the sixth; the seventh, whom John expects, is the Germanic Hengstenberg gives the same list of monarchies as forming the seven heads of the beast, only he leaves out Antiochus, and prefixes Egypt. (Vol. 2:468, 459.) Ebrard's seven heads are the same as Hoffmans. Anberlen (p. 271, 272) agrees with Heng- stenberg, and SO does Principal Fairbairn, who, almost alone among modern British expositors of Prophecy takes this view of the seven heads. (See his able work on Prophecy.) The arrangement the author has adopted is somewhat different, and has this merit, that the seven monarchies embraced in his list run in the line of the image, and are all indicated in it.#
