Voice of the Watchman, The
Description
John Ashton Savage (1818-1900) was born on the 21st June 1818 in Llanidloes, Montgomeryshire, Wales, the first child of John and Elizabeth, née Ashton. When The Mico University College in Kingston, Jamaica, was established in 1836 as a non-denominational Christian institution, J. A. Savage was among the first batch of students to be enrolled and he went on to be appointed the first Superintendent of Schools in Jamaica in 1869. It appears that it was in Jamaica in the 1880s that J. A. Savage worked on his well-known book, The scroll of Time first published by A. S. Rouse in 1893. In 1896 his book, The One Great Voyage of Life, was published by S.W. Partridge & Co. It was followed by The Kingdom of God and of Heaven (A. S. Rouse, 1899) and The Voice of the Watchman (S.W. Partridge, London, 1899).
At the time of writing The Voice of the Watchman, the author, John Savage was convinced of the imminent return of the Lord due to the prevailing conditions of the time. He outlines, in order, prophetic events that will occur leading up to the time when the Lord Jesus sets up His millennial kingdom. The fact that this book has been reprinted several times since 1899 indicates that prior generations have found it helpful to their understanding of these prophetic events. As we get even closer to the return of the Lord, the modern reader will also find this book to be incredibly helpful.
