Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Close of the Ministry
Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist. But did they understand that in his answer to their inquiry our Lord alluded to another, a future coming of Elias, of which that of the Baptist was but a type or a prelude, as well as to another, a future coming of the Son of man with which it was to be connected? Many think that not obscurely, such an allusion lay in the words which Christ employed, and that it is in the two advents, each prefaced with its appropriate precursorage, that the full and va ried language of ancient prophecy receives alone its fit and adequate accomplishment.
