IV. Response of History to the Call of Prophecy

Scattered over Europe are skillfully contrived pantomime figure clocks that illustrate impressively what we mean by the response of history to the call of prophecy. As the clock strikes certain hours, a door opens, and a procession of figures files past in realistic action around the clock dial—ringing bells, blowing trumpets, bowing, gesticulating, or otherwise heralding the coming of the hour. Similarly, in the field of prophetic interpretation, as the key hours on the clock of divine prophecy have struck among the nations, always with the coming of the hour have the heralding figures appeared, announcing to mankind the fulfillment taking place before its eyes.PFF2 15.3

This phenomenon has been repeated so often and with such regularity, as the attendant circumstance to each major fulfillment, that it becomes a virtual law of prophecy that each fulfillment of a major epoch or event of prophecy will invariably be recognized and proclaimed by a chorus of intelligent voices at the time of fulfillment. This will become increasingly apparent in the centuries traversed by this investigation.PFF2 16.1
