A Study of Biblical Eschatology
by G.I. Williamson
Is there a significant difference between our view of the Bible, today, and that of the great
Reformers of the 16th century? The author of this small booklet believes there is. He does not
think this is intentional. But he thinks it is a fact. Our fathers said, "All things in Scripture
are not alike plain in themselves, nor alike clear unto all: yet those things which are necessary
to be known, believed, and observed for salvation, are so clearly propounded, and opened in some
place of Scripture or other, that not only the learned, but the unlearned, in a due use of the
ordinary means, may attain unto a sufficient understanding of them." The author also believes that
two of those doctrines "which are necessary to be known, believed, and observed" are the doctrines
of creation and consummation. It is necessary to know how we had our beginning. And it is also
necessary to know what is planned by God for us in the future. And it is his contention that both
of these (because they "are necessary to be known") have been clearly revealed in Scripture. And by
this he means revealed in such a clear way that even the non-scholars can understand what God says
about them.
