The New Eschatology Showing the Indestructibility of the Earth and the Wide Difference Between the Letter and Spirit of Holy Scripture.

In this thoughtful 19th‑century treatise, the author reexamines the biblical passages that have traditionally been read as predictions of cosmic ruin. By distinguishing between the literal wording of Scripture and its deeper spiritual sense, he argues that the Earth itself is not destined for annihilation, but rather that the verses speak to the inner condition of the church and the human mind. The work draws heavily on Swedenborgian ideas, inviting readers to see familiar prophetic texts as symbols of lost faith and moral decay.

The author systematically critiques long‑standing doctrines that arise from a purely literal approach—such as transubstantiation, papal supremacy, and the literal Trinity—showing how they stem from misreading the same passages. He offers a clear method for discerning apparent truth from spiritual reality, using everyday analogies like the sun’s apparent motion to illustrate how perception can differ from actual fact. For anyone curious about alternative biblical interpretation or the history of eschatological thought, this book provides a concise yet profound challenge to conventional doctrine.
