Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Son of Man Coming in His Kingdom a Study of the Apocalyptic, Element in the Teaching of Jesus
He will reign in person upon the earth. On the other hand, many present-day pastors and teach ers, feeling within themselves a revolt from any such conception of the Kingdom of God and the manner of its coming, and finding the New Testa ment teaching on this subject to be somewhat con fusing, leave the whole matter severely alone; with the result that multitudes of good people are left a prey to Mormons, Russellites, Millennial-dawn ists, and all the varied types of Adventists who are sure they have discovered God's plan of the ages and can prove it from the Bible.
If leaders and teachers in the organised Church ignore the Apocalyptic element in the New Tes tament two results are likely to follow. One type of people will be led astray into those views of the Kingdom of God from which Jesus laboured to deliver His disciples all through His earthly ministry; while another class of people, dominated by the modern spirit of which the characteristic words are development and progress, will turn away from Jesus disappointed as from one who shared the mistaken notions of his time and is without a message for the present day.
