CHRIST on EARTH AGAIN

OR

THE NATURE OF THE KINGDOM TO BE ESTABLISHED BY HIM AT HIS SECOND APPEARING

"IN THE DAYS OF THESE KINGS SHALL THE GOD OF HEAVEN SET UP A KINGDOM WHICH SHALL NEVER BE DESTROYED: AND THE KINGDOM SHALL NOT BE LEFT TO OTHER PEOPLE, BUT IT SHALL BREAK IN PIECES CONSUME ALL THESE KINGDOMS, A!'iD IT SHALL STAND FOR EVER"

- (Dan. 2 : 44).

"IN THAT DAY WILL I RAISE UP THE TABERNACLE OF D.\VID THAT IS FALLEN, AND CLOSE UP THE BREACHES THEREOF; AND I WILL RAISE UP HIS RUINS, AND WILL BUILD IT AS IN THE DAYS OF OLD" - (Amos 9: 11).

CHRIST ON EARTH AGAIN

Paul defines faith as "the substance of things hoped for", and he states that "without faith it is impossible to please God" (Heb. 11:6). How important, therefore, to be motivated by such a faith as can make a reality of that which, for the moment is only a matter of hope. This is possible, by gathering together the Scriptures relating to the future purposes of God with the earth and man upon it, and building up thereby a mental picture of how Christ's coming will change the world. A basis for such an exercise is provided in this treatise by Brother Roberts. It can be supplemented by personal effort in extracting from the Daily Readings any verses that depict the future and classifying them under their relevant headings: the King, the Government, the Worship, the Saints, the Nations, Israel etc. The mind will be constantly refreshed by such a contemplation of the glory that will one day fill the earth, and motivated to conquer the flesh. In the midst of his trials Paul looked to the future, and concluded that "the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us" (Rom. 8:18). He wrote: "We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal" (2 Cor. 4:18).
