Eureka An Exposition of the Apocalypse part 13

Eureka: An Exposition of the Apocalypse is a book written by John Thomas in 1861. Each chapter has been written expounding the correspond chapter of last book of the bible (Revelation or Apocalypse in the Greek). Originally written in three volume set, later editors published the work in 5 volumes.

"The Apocalypse of Jesus Christ" is then for the servants of God: -- for those who believe the Gospel of the Kingdom it exhibits; and have been "washed from their sins in his blood," in being baptized into his name.

"Know ye not," says Paul, "that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of SIN unto death, or of OBEDIENCE unto righteousness?" Here are two masters; the first, the lord of the world; the last, the ruling principle of Yahweh's people. "Sin is the transgression of law"; and because this is the natural tendency of our nature, "sin" is sometimes used for "the flesh." He, therefore, that serves his own lusts, "the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life," which not only constitute the man, but the world, or aggregate of such, is Sin's servant or slave. Such a man, be he "priest...... clergyman," "minister," or "layman," serves sin unto death. Being of the world he speaks of the world, and the world hears him (1 John 4:5). He is essentially a man-pleaser, who holds men's persons in admiration for the sake of advantage; and therefore cannot be the servant of Christ (Gal. 1:10; Jude 16).
