133. Christ’s Coming

A Presbyterian minister said to the writer: “I was never taught anything about the Coming of the Lord when I was in the theological college.” Then he asked me about the best book on the theme, and I immediately replied, “The New Testament.” No one can read through that Book without being convinced of the following—

1. That Christ is personally Coming back again, as He promised—Joh_14:1-3.

2. That His Coming is pre-Millennial, that is, before the Kingdom of righteousness can be ushered in, the King must return—Luk_19:12.

3. That He has committed to His servants the pound of the Gospel, with which they are to trade until His return—Luk_19:13-14, R.V.

4. That the Lord’s purpose in this dispensation is not to convert the world, but to gather out a people for His Name—Act_15:13-18.

5. That evil will abound and increase under the rule of man, and the god of this world—2Ti_3:1-9.

6. That Christ will Come for His people and remove them from the world, and raise the blessed dead, before He comes with them in judgment—1Th_4:13-18.

7. That Christ will destroy the Man of Sin by His personal appearing, and overthrow all the forces of evil—2Th_2:8.
