The Story Of The Seer Of Patmos by Stephen Nelson Haskell

The Story Of The Seer Of Patmos by Stephen Nelson Haskell

In The Story of the Seer of Patmos, author Stephen Haskell walks readers right into the life of John the Beloved, explaining in great detail the closeness of John to God, and how, because of that closeness, John was shown many future events in vision. So much more than a story, the book delves so deeply into Revelation that it can serve as a verse-by-verse, step-by-step guide. Chock full of spiritual and historical gems, Haskell's book opens the Bible's last book up in an easily read, narrative style that explains the various symbols within John's visions and their meaning to us today.

The study of prophecy is considered uninteresting by many. Much that is written upon this subject is given in an argumentative style, which is unattractive to many minds. Stephen Haskell changes all that in The Story of the Seer of Patmos, presenting Bible prophecy, together with details of last day events and the life of John, in a fresh way that will be interesting to young and old.

From the seven churches, to the seven seals, from fearsome beasts to the riders of the apocalypse, Haskell covers it all. His explanation of the signs of the times in the last 1700's and early 1800's, which included a spectacular meteor shower, the Lisbon earthquake, and the day the sky turned dark at noon, is particularly fascinating. Haskell points out that these very signs were predicted in no less than eight different books of the Bible (four in the Old Testament and four in the New), with thirteen identifying characteristics making them truly unmistakable as harbingers of the end.

When published, this classic book was sent forth on its mission of love with earnest prayer to God that it may point all who read to the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world. It was the earnest hope of the author that, within these pages, the Bible student would find treasure, the skeptics ground for faith, and the thoughtless become acquainted with the very thoughts of God.

Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. (Revelation 1:3)

Haskell, Stephen N.: - Stephen Haskell was described as being a large, slow-moving man who was very deliberate-yet somehow irresistible in speech. He had a flowing beard, a shovel-tipped nose, and his hair, which became gray and then white as he aged, was described as a luxuriant mane. Those who heard Pastor Haskell speak said that, in manner and speech, he was a typical old-fashioned New Englander. His English was not always perfect, and his Yankee dialect never left him, but his earnest, kindly smile always made friends. A fatherly figure, Haskell earned the affection of thousands of spiritual children. He grew with the years-alternatively serving as a preacher, executive, author, and publisher. But most importantly, Haskell was a lay leader for the church, using his talents for literature, correspondence, and personal missionary work. An accomplished organizer and administrator, Pastor Haskell served for years as a conference president within the Seventh-day Adventist Church. At one point, he even served as president of the New England and California conference simultaneously! In 1889, Pastor Haskell heard a talk given by Ellen White in which she admonished ministers that there should be more teaching and less preaching in Adventist camp meetings. After considering the counsel, Pastor Haskell developed a method of Bible readings which came to be known as fireside preaching. The idea caught on like wildfire, as Christians around the country undertook training to hold home Bible readings. One institute in Battle Creek grew rapidly by studying the Bible Reading Plan. Under the leadership of Pastor Haskell, began with 300 students and ended with 1,000. Today the Bible reading plan continues to be one of the most successful means of winning people to the truth. Today, that book is published as the Bible Handbook. Haskell's other works include The Cross and it's Shadow, The Story of the Prophet Daniel, and The Story of the Seer of Patmos.
