The article reviews a pamphlet on particular supernatural events surrounding Robert Baxter, a supposed prophet for a Scottish church. The writer believes the events were sparked by satanic delusions. The text claims that “manifestations of the spirit” exist, though the reviewer is skeptical. Baxter claims his prophetic gift was distressing. The review quotes Baxter’s supposed gifts and what prompted Baxter to make his prophecy public. He holds a curious power over his congregation. The reviewer recounts a series of prophetic moments held as the word of God. Baxter begins to question his inspiration and thinks it is not God’s word but Satan’s. He continues to follow the prophecies which often relate to the meaning of baptism. Baxter meets a missionary to the American Indians and concludes they are the lost ten tribes of Israel. He remains confused about the truth of his prophecy, though he appears more and more delusional. The reviewer recommends this to the reader to sympathize with these delusional believers. He worries that this cult will appear in America because they might believe Baxter’s words. | |
