Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Report of a Public Discussion Between J. M. Stephenson and P. T. Russell: Subject: The Kingdom of God Upon Earth; Its Nature, Locality, the Time of Its Establishment, and Its Duration, as Taught by the Prophets, Christ and His Apostles
Having said thus much for the purpose of identifying: the, two passages as speaking in regard to one and the same kingdom, let us next inquire what are the ordinary and the essential elements of a kingdom 2 and while I ask what are the essential elements of a kingdom, I answer' as follows: first, a king, crowned, clothed with authority;. Second, as a result his issuing laws; third, subjects sub mitting to those laws thus issued. Wherever we have these three elements conjoined there we find'a kingdom, and wherever these three elements meet, there we find. The beginning of a kingdom. To these three points then we shall call your attention. But first I desire to b1in07 bef01e y our minds some tui ther testimony upon this point. Go with me now to Revelations 19th chapter, and let us scan it for one moment. I will lead the 11th and l6th veises inclusive. And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white h01se; and hethat sat upon him was called faith ful and true, and in righteousness he (121th judge and make war. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, king OF kings, and lord OF lords.
