Excerpt from Letters to a Minister of the Gospel, on His and Other Interpretations of Our Saviour's Predictions of His Return: Recorded Matt, , XXIII, XXIV, XXV, Containing a Minute Examination of These Prophecies, and Exhibiting the Evidence They Contain That Christ's Coming in the Clouds of Heaven Is Personal, and Near at HandSanctioned though they have been by men of superior discernment and Christian attainments, the Expositions now generally offered of the Saviour's prediction of his coming seem destitute of all that should command the submission of a faithful and intelligent inquirer. Harsh as such a judgment may seem, it is not uttered unadvisedly, nor is the accusation preferred without an effort dispassionately to establish its truth. Various theories of interpretation have been controverted on grounds which lie within the range of the most ordinary understanding, and although the statements and arguments contained in theological writings of high repute have been unhesitatingly rejected, the reasons are uniformly exhibited on which their accuracy is ques tioned. Let not those whose faith is thus impugned seek to put 'away from them the imputation, till able to satisfy themselves, at least, of its being unfounded, but, as' they would value their Lord's approbation, let them receive from His mouth a knowledge of the time of his glorious return.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
