Picture 1: TRANSMITING THE LUMINOUS TORCH OF PROPHETIC INTERPRETATION
This Flaming Torch, Passed From Hand to Outstretched Hand Across the Centuries, Has, When Held Aloft, Changed the Darksome Path of History Into the Lighted Way. From the Hands of Daniel the Prophet and John the Seer, Prophetic Interpretation Has Been Transmitted From Early Churchmen, Like Hippolytus, on to Stalwarts of the Middle Ages, Like Joachim and Wyclif, Then to Luther and Knox of Reformation Times, and Newton and Wesley of Later Days, and Has Now Been Passed to Hands of Responsive Men Today.
