Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Studies in Recent Adventism
IN some form the doctrine Of the future coming of Christ is part and parcel of the common Christian creed. The distinction of Adventism, as the term is here used, lies in the following particulars: It treats the second coming, or prospective advent, of Christ as a matter of foremost importance in the Christian system; it insists that all Christians should con template this great event with vivid expectancy, as being in all probability close at hand, if not indeed certain to occur at a near-by specific date; it regards the looked-for coming as pre - millennial, that is, antecedent to the thousand-year period mentioned in Rev. Xx. 4, 5; it rates this coming as the indispensable condition of any such triumphs of the Christian re ligion as are to be associated with the millennial age.
