CONCLUSIONSWe have briefly shown in this volume the harmony of the entire prophetic Word concerning the great future events to come. It would have been an easy task to enlarge each chapter and add hundreds of passages from the Word of Cod. What we have written and give in this volume, however, seems to us sufficient to prove conclusively two great and important facts. The first fact proven is the wonderful harmony of the prophetic Word, and the second fact, springing from the first, is the verbal inspiration of the Old Testament Scriptures. No sane man would believe that such a perfect agreement in the description of these coming events, written by so many different men, living centuries apart, writing independently of each other, is of purely human origin. That these men wrote down their own imaginations, their own thoughts, and that the Spirit of God had nothing to do with it, is harder to believe than the fact which we have demonstrated, that this wonderful harmony is supernatural. Our aim has likewise been to produce a short handbook of Old Testament prophecy, and point the way to a better and more correct understanding of the little read and less studied prophetic books. If under the blessing of our Lord some of His children receive help through this volume, and our little work will be used to open up God's precious Word to some hearts and unfold some of God's gracious purposes, we shall thank and praise Him for it in all eternity. May the blessing of our Lord rest upon every reader, and, living in these significant times, when the fulfilment of all this volume teaches is so near, may we all be "like men who wait for their Lord."
