Excerpt: THE SECOND ADVENT
It is the opinion of many, that the dispensation under which we live is the final one, and that at its close the purpose of God respecting this earth will be fully accomplished. They believe that the conversion of this world will be effected by the preaching of the gospel; that all nations will be brought under its blessed influence; that before the close of this dispensation, the kingdoms of the world will become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and that the will of God will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
That the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and that the will of God will be done on earth as it is in heaven, is fully admitted, because expressly declared; but that the preaching of the gospel in the present dispensation will effect this, there does not appear to be the slightest ground for believing, taking God's Word as our guide.
But there is another dispensation spoken of in Scripture, called the dispensation of the fullness of times," which is to succeed the present, when He who "worketh all things after the counsel of His own will" shall "gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth." Eph. 1:10; when the Son of man, who is gone "into a far country to receive for Himself a kingdom," will return, having received from the Ancient of days "dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve Him." Dan. 7:13, 14. In endeavoring to point out what Scripture teaches as to this kingdom, I propose to show—
1. That a period of universal blessedness is to be expected in the latter day.
2. That the Lord Jesus will return, not at the close, but at the commencement of this period of blessedness.
3. That His ransomed Church will reign with Him during this period.
And, lastly, I shall consider the vast importance of the subject of the Lord's coming, showing it to be the proper hope of the Church, and productive of most blessed and practical effects in the children of God.
