, 1884

Overview

In this work it is proposed to show what the Covenants demand, and what relationship the second coming, kingdom, and glory of “The Christ” sustains to the same, in order that perfected Redemption may be realized. In order to obtain a full and complete view of the divine purpose relating to salvation, we must regard past, present, and future history. The latter must be received as predicted, for we may rest assured, from the past and present fulfillment of the word of God, thus changed into historical reality, that the predictions and promises relating to the future will also in their turn become veritable history. It is this faith, which grasps the future as already present, that can form a decided and unmistakable unity.

This defense of dispensationalism is organized into a series of propositions which build upon each other. Each proposition is stated and then defended with a series of annotated observations. Volume one includes propositions 1–106.

“The Scriptures cannot be rightly comprehended without a due knowledge of this kingdom.” (Page 29)

“Hooker: ‘I hold for a most infallible rule in expositions of the Sacred Scriptures, that where a literal construction will stand, the furthest from the letter is commonly the worst. There is nothing more dangerous than this licentious and deluding art, which changes the meaning of words, as alchymy doth, or would do, the substance of metals, making of anything what it pleases, and bringing in the end all truth to nothing.’” (Page 47)

“The history of the human race is, as able theologians have remarked, the history of God’s dealings with man.” (Page 13)

“The kingdom deserves the first place in Biblical and the first rank in Systematic theology.” (Page 31)

“The kingdom of heaven must form the central point of all theological learning.’” (Page 30)
