Summary: If you want to hear something truly amazing about God (and His Word, the Bible), listen to the first MP3 on the page linked above, on Revelation 9:15, entitled, To the Very Hour! God's Omnipotence, Omniscience, Omnisapience, etc., On Display In the Perfect Historical Fulfillments Of Prophecies In Revelation Regarding the Rise, Expansion and Fall Of Islam by Dr. Steven Dilday (Free MP3, Rev. 9:15). "And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men." This sermon will help build your trust in God, encourage you through difficulties, and give you the peace that passes understanding (Philippians 4:7) -- if you take this stunning sermon from Scripture to heart. This is sermon #224 in Dr. Dilday's exposition of the book of Revelation. Dr. Dilday's full Historicist series on Revelation, the best commentary on Revelation in a very long time (maybe even the best ever), is ongoing and is at http://www.sermonaudio.com/go/147582 (on SermonAudio). Historicism is the Biblical Eschatology. Historicism is found in all the classic Reformation confessions, creeds, covenants and catechsims, when they deal with eschatology.
"And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it." (Isa. 2:2, KJV)
"Now, Christians, the more great and glorious things you expect from God, as the downfall of antichrist, the conversion of the Jews, the conquest of the nations to Christ, the breaking of all yokes, the new Jerusalem's coming down from above, the extraordinary pouring out of the Spirit, and a more general union among all saints, the more holy, yea, the more eminently holy in all your ways and actings it becomes you to be." - Thomas Brooks, The Crown and Glory of Christianity, 1662, Complete Works (on the Puritan Hard Drive), 1867, p. 444.
"The Puritan Hard Drive is a remarkable accomplishment! It presents an historic and singular opportunity. The common Christian can now have a world-class Presbyterian and Reformed library at his fingertips, for only pennies per volume. The works on the Puritan Hard Drive have been invaluable to me in sermon preparation and in improving personal and familial piety. If these had been the only blessings attached to the reading of these documents, the expense (even if it had been much greater) would have been justified; but there is more here. The best books on these subjects have not been readily available; but (thanks be to God) they are available again on the Puritan Hard Drive. For anyone interested in recovering our Presbyterian and Reformed past, the Puritan Hard Drive is a must. It is my hope and prayer that the Puritan Hard Drive will be used by God to bring to light the things that were hidden, to call to remembrance the things that were forgotten."
- Dr. Steven Dilday, Pastor, President of The Matthew Poole Project, Seminary Professor, Author, Publisher. Dr. Dilday is currently translating (from Latin to English) the "Synopsis" written by the Puritan Divine, Matthew Poole. This project when completed will consist of approximately 82 volumes.
In the history of extra-biblical study tools there has never been a resource as useful as the Puritan Hard Drive. ... The Puritan Hard Drive is a tremendous blessing... you can easily do ten hours worth of research in just seconds!" - Pastor Paul Washer, HeartCry Missionary Society, Author, Conference Speaker, etc.
"In fact, when the classic historicist position is studied, the fulfillment in the case of Islam and Revelation chapter nine is seen to be so striking and well attested that "even advocates of other approaches who are adamant in their rejection of the historicist system of interpretation have admitted the convincing nature of this particular identification." - Steve Gregg, commenting on Revelation 9:1-6 in Revelation: Four Views: A Parallel Commentary, p. 176).
