Summary:

Collection of short, apocalyptic biblical exegeses. In the prologue to the work the author addresses the idea of the impending apocalypse being everywhere apparent. The work provides exegeses on several biblical events, including Noah's Ark and the Exodus, and illustrates parallels to contemporary circumstances, thus providing the framework for a proper understanding of the end of days. The author also includes a prologue addressed to Pope Benedict XIV (1740-58). The title page includes the dates 1733 and 1761, but the last work is dated 1741.
