Jonathan Edwards (1703–1758) was one of the greatest reformed preachers of the Gospel of Christ. From the book of Revelation Edwards draws six texts, four to teach the plight of the wicked in hell, and two to teach the strengthening and bliss of the saints in heaven: Ripe for Damnation, from Rev. 14:18-19 on God’s vintage winepress of wrath against the wicked. The Dangers of Decline, from Rev. 2:4-5 concerning the saint’s leaving their first love. Cold Nor Hot, from Rev. 3:15 concerning the manner in which wicked men profess to be Christian but live like heathen. Approaching the End of God’s Grand Design, from Rev. 21:6 concerning the God’s plan to glorify himself in the wicked and the just. Serving God in Heaven, from Revelation 22:3 concerning the saint’s service to Christ for eternity. And, The Lamb’s Book of Life, from Rev. 6:15-16 concerning the plight of the wicked before Christ's wrath. This is not a scan or facsimile and has been updated in modern English for easy reading.
