CHAPTER TWELVE: Medley of Voices Swell Prophetic Chorus

Now let us turn to other examples of prophetic interpretation in the 1830’s that are somewhat off the beaten track. One is a colorful feminine figure—a world traveler and “1847” enthusiast—who put her exposition into verse as well as prose. Another is a reprint of a former Catholic priest’s summary of church history from the prophetic angle, of interest in that period of violent anti-Catholic agitation in America, when numerous periodicals used apocalyptic language in denouncing the Catholic Church.
