Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Coming Kingdom It is the purpose of this little book to set forth, in Scripture language, as far as possible, a clear-cut distinction between the Church and the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus, the Christ. So few people seem to have grasped the real idea of the Kingdom, which is so clearly set forth in the Scriptures, that the author has been burdened for more than ten years with the need for such a work. John the Baptist came preaching, "Repent; for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." Jesus also preached the gospel of the Kingdom from the same text. So prominent was the thought of the Kingdom in the mind of our Lord that the word is used 124 times in the four gospels, whereas the word Church is used only 3 times. In the use of Scripture quotations, we shall use the Authorized, the Revised, and the American Revised versions, and Leeser´s translation of the Old Testament. Aware of the fact that only a few readers will make the references to the Scriptures, where only the number of the chapter and verse is given, it is the plan of this book to embody the full text into the work. Let no one object to the length, or the number of the quotations given; for it is the opinion of the author that these will be the strength of the work. It is his purpose to put together in close connection all the Scriptures bearing directly and unmistakably on the subject in hand. We shall not hesitate either to use the same texts in different chapters as they bear on the thought in each chapter; for the same texts are pertinent to two, three, or even more thoughts; viz., the Kingdom, the King, the Throne, and the Nations. In the minds of many the Church and the Kingdom are synonymous terms. Indeed, that has been the teaching of the pulpit for many years, but they are essentially different, and must be so recognized or confusion follows, and the mind of the reader becomes clouded. Let each text have its most apparent meaning. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
