E. W. Buillinger, the author of the Companion Bible, also wrote this one-volume commentary on the Book of Revelation. This is a free book module installation for SwordSearcher Bible Study Software. Excerpt: THE CHURCH NOT THE SUBJECT OF OLD TESTAMENT PROPHECY. Closely connected with this foregoing point, that the book is Hebrew in character, and intended specially for Hebrews, is another undoubted fact, that the Church of God is not the subject of the Old Testament, either in history, type, or prophecy. Passages, etc., may be found there and used to illustrate what is subsequently revealed. But this can be done only by way of application, and not by way of teaching or of interpretation. Because, of the "Mystery" or the secret concerning the Church of God, we are told that it "was kept secret since the world began" (Ro 16:25). That "in other ages it was not made known unto the sons of men" (Eph 3:5). That is, "from the beginning of the world, hath been hid in God" (Eph 3:9). That it "hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to the saints" (Col 1:26).
