John MacDuff on Revelations

Grace Gems has two onliine commentaries of Revelations.
Grace Gems!
Horatius Bonar is someone with whom I am familiar. I did not know he wrote a commentary on Revelations. From what I have read so far I find him on target and insightful. The second commentary on Revelation is by John MacDuff. He also seems like an able expositor. Who was he? What else did he write?

Ezra 7:10 For Ezra had set his heart to study the law of the Lord and to do it and to teach its statues in Isreal.

John Ross McDuff lived in the 19th century. Born in Perth and educated in Edinburgh he became a Church of Scotland minister in and around Glasgow. He wrote a number of books which were mainly of a devotional nature. The following link would point you to his writings.

He has also written a small number of hymns.

The Bonar brothers (Horatius, Andrew and John) are worth getting into. Andrew wrote a commentary on Leviticus (In the Banner's Geneva series) as well as editing the best edition of Rutherford's letters. His own Diary is well worth reading and is often overshadowed as his famous biography of M'Cheyne but his diary is a real treasure. Horatius wrote a number of devotional books which again are all worth reading.

I believe both were pre-millenarians, as were Andrew Bonar and Robert Murray McCheyne.

I thought MacDuff was the cartoon dog that says, 'Take a bite out of crime.'

Yes the Bonar brothers were pre-mil as was M'Cheyne which I always found a bit surprising. However it was not a hobby horse of theirs and was not a major focus of their teaching/preaching. 'Christ and him crucified' probably summed up the focus of their ministies.

Don't really know enough about McDuff's eschatology to comment.
