Robert Govett (1813-1901) was a British theologian and pastor of an independent church, Surrey Chapel, Norwich, Norfolk, England. This book is a reprint by Schoettle Publishing Company in 1978, first written in 1853. Schoettle seems to be a recent publisher that prints books about the millennial kingdom.

A Big Wall with a Beautiful Gate
(On the final day of the month. Reading the last chapters of Revelation.) In the last two chapters of the Bible, Revelation 21 and 22, God describes the final country (or city if you will) that is to be built. A city “foursquare.” A city that would be about half the size of the continental […]
The Kingdom in History and Prophecy
Another book relating to theological reading this year is this 1915 book by the well-known founder and President of Dallas Seminary and forwarded by C.I. Scofield. My copy is a 1967 reprint though I also have a Kindle copy. I have been interested in the subject of the kingdom of God since my introduction to […]
Dispensationalism Before Darby
The title of this book invites you to read it. The common complaint about dispensationalism is that it began 150 years ago with John Nelson Darby. Watson gives abundant historical fact to the contrary. William Watson is Professor of History at Colorado Christian University. He received his B.A. in History from California State Polytechnic University, […]
Cross, Creation and also Prophecy
There are three great mountain peaks of importance in Biblical history. First and foremost is Calvary. The cross is the center of all God’s workings with this world. If the believer could say with Paul, “I determined not to know any thing among you save Jesus Christ and him crucified” (1 Cor. 2:2), he would […]
Of Antichrist and His Ruin
We may not think anything of John Bunyan other than his wonderful Pilgrim’s Progress and even with that we would be miles ahead of those who don’t know him. Yet I have found that his other books open a door to Bunyan that I did not know even from reading his great allegory. Bunyan was […]
Will The Antichrist Be Muslim?
One of the difficulties for Christians in apologetics is that they have to know a lot about many religions and cults, but the religions and cults only have to know about Christianity. The growing threat from Islam reminds the Christian of this very thing. That is why I was glad to receive a book exposing […]
The Islamic Antichrist
Joel Richardson has a mixed background and reputation in prophetic circles. This 2009 book has created a lot of interest because it is Richardson’s thesis that the antichrist is Islamic, not “Christian.” (See my article in this issue for a refutation of that view) In trying to look up Richardson’s background and connections I found […]
The Coming Battle of Gog & Magog
Recently I overheard someone talk about the good old days of prophecy conferences when we used to fear Russia and communism. Aren’t we even closer to the Lord’s return today than we were back then? I have often said myself how those preachers from a generation ago could not have conceived a world like we […]
