, 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 two includes propositions 107–164.
