Under his leadership, the Court upheld the constitutionality of a national bank, established the supremacy of the federal judiciary over state courts and legislatures in matters of constitutional interpretation, and profoundly influenced the economic development of the nation through vigorous interpretation of the contract and interstate commerce clauses.

They were not thought to refer to a near or distant future. Throughout the long history of Christianity - from at least the 4th century to the early 19th - the vast majority of those who read and heard the stories in the Bible (including the forerunners of modern evangelicals) believed Revelation was describing events that had already happened or were happening in their own time in the life of the church. This is widely known among historical scholars of the Bible but scarcely at all outside our ranks. In fact, Scripture says no such thing, either in Revelation or in any other book.
