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 Hand In the character of the Son of man, the Son of God has gone "into a far country to receive a Kingdom, and to return." Ere he left this lower world, He communicated his purpose to those whom he honoured with his love, and who were the chosen companions of his toil. In the prospect of his absence, He consoled them with the promise of the Spirit as the Comforter till his return, and animated their hearts with the prospects of glory which then awaited Him and them. With feelings which once characterized all the followers of Jesus, but which ignorance of their Masters will has now weakened greatly, these tried and faithful friends on a particular occasion addressed to him an inquiry respecting His Coming. With endearing condescension did the Saviour at once comply with their request, giving them an Extensive Prediction of events from that time forward till the coming of the Son of man in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. On this object of their peculiar desire he particularly enlarged, presenting a detailed account of the circumstances by which it should be attended, as well as a summary of events in the History of his church by which it should be preceded. Regarding this magnificent Prediction of our blessed Lord, there has been a most unhappy discordance among Scripture Expositors, which, considered apart, might suggest an idea of great ambiguity as to its meaning.
