“Notes on the Apocalypse” by David Steele is a theological treatise written in the late 19th century that explores the Book of Revelation in the New Testament. The author, a Presbyterian pastor, aims to interpret the prophetic and symbolical language found in the Apocalypse, while providing insights and criticisms of previously established interpretations by other scholars. Through his extensive examination, Steele intends to offer clarity to readers regarding the signs of the times, divine providence, and the Christian experience in light of prophetic scripture. The opening of the work begins with an epistle to Rev. John Cunningham, signifying the communal bond among believers and the urgency of interpreting the Apocalypse amidst societal challenges, portraying prophecy as an invaluable guide. Steele underscores the profound and often misunderstood nature of Revelation and its historical context, emphasizing the prerequisites for understanding its prophetic sections. He highlights the necessity for familiarity with gospel doctrines, symbolic language, and a clear perspective free from political bias. Furthermore, Steele reflects on the historical apprehension surrounding the book, particularly during the Reformation, asserting its relevance and necessity for spiritual guidance.
