Samuel Wylie's The Two Sons Of Oil; Or, The Faithful Witness

This is the Still Waters Revival Books video book summary for "The Two Sons of Oil; or

, the Faithful Witness for Magistracy and Ministry upon a Scriptural Basis" (1850, third edition) by Samuel Wylie

Samuel Wylie's "The Two Sons of Oil" is a Covenanter classic opening Revelation 11:3-4 and Zechariah 4:14. It has been hailed as the "best presentation of the position of the Covenanter Church that has been written."

Noting that the "[t]ime has been, when the whole body of Presbyterians, in Scotland, England, and Ireland, unanimously subscribed" to these principles, "[f]or civil and ecclesiastical reformation" and that thousands bled and died for the glorious covenanted cause of civil and ecclesiastical reformation; Wylie sets out to explain and defend "that cause. Not because it is an ancient cause; not because many have sealed it with their blood; but, because," as he says, "I thought it the doctrine of the Bible, and the cause of Christ."

This book explains how to tell if a government (especially a civil government) is faithful to Christ and thus to be obeyed for conscience's sake. It also gives direction regarding when and how to resist (and disassociate yourself from) governments which get their power from "the beast."

Moreover, it gives clear testimony as to what the Bible requires of civil magistrates, noting "that civil rulers should exercise their power in protecting and defending the religion of Jesus." It also gives plain reasons why dissent from the government of the United States (and other covenant breaking nations) is the legitimate Scriptural pattern.

All these ideas are intricately intertwined with the Reformation understanding of eschatology and demonstrate once again the importance of a proper understanding of the Reformation eschatology of Scripture.
