Standard dystopian future with the Biblical prophecies tied directly to contemporary European politics. The pamphlet caused considerable controversy, and there are a number of refutations and responses to them by Pae. There are two Canadian editions (Toronto, ON, Canada: T. MacLear, 1853 and 1854) by John Thomas (1805-71), the founder of the Christadelphians, in which he claims that Pae plagiarized his Elpis Israel: A Book for the Times: Being an Exposition of the Kingdom of God; With Reference to the Time of the End, and the Age to Come. London: Author, 1849 with numerous later editions published by the Christadelphians into the 21st century.
