Light for the Last Days: A Study in Chronological Prophecy by H. Grattan Guinness is one of the most ambitious and influential works of nineteenth-century prophetic scholarship -- a sweeping attempt to chart the divine calendar of human history through biblical chronology. First published in 1886, this monumental study reflects both the intellectual curiosity and the spiritual fervor of the Victorian evangelical age, combining historical analysis, scriptural exegesis, and scientific precision to interpret the unfolding of God's plan for the nations.

Guinness, a mathematician, missionary, and theologian, approaches prophecy not as mystical speculation but as a disciplined study grounded in Scripture and historical record. Through careful calculation and comparison, he traces the great prophetic periods of Daniel and Revelation, aligning them with world events -- from the rise and fall of empires to the restoration of Israel and the expansion of the Church. His central conviction is that prophecy offers a "light for the last days": a guide for believers navigating the moral and political upheavals of modernity.

Yet beyond its chronological framework, Light for the Last Days is a work of deep spiritual urgency. It reflects Guinness's belief that history is not random but redemptive, moving toward a divine consummation. His tone is both analytical and devotional, calling readers to moral vigilance, faith, and hope in the nearing fulfillment of God's purposes. The result is a book that bridges the rational and the revelatory -- a landmark of prophetic interpretation and a testament to the enduring human desire to understand time itself in the light of eternity.
