Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The New Jerusalem in the World's Religious Congresses of 1893
The Columbian Exposition was itself a manifestation of the New Age. Divine purposes work long unseen, and divine principles are embodied often long before their source and portent are acknowledged. It is explained in this volume that by the New Jerusalem is meant a new dispensation of the Church and of Religion, which shall be truly Christian; in which it shall be allowable to enter intellectually into the things of faith, and be possible to develop a fuller spiritual and rational life; that this dispensa tion of the Church is inaugurated by new revelation from the Lord opening the spiritual sense and divine meaning of the Sacred Scriptures; and that it was preceded by a last judgment in the world of spirits from which results a new freedom of willing and thinking among men; and that in it is to be ful filled the divine promise, Behold, I make all things new. This new dispensation is the re-establishment and crowning of the Christian Church in that fullness of revelation foretold by all the prophets and promised by the Lord. But before truth, rational and luminous, attesting its Divine origin and power, could descend from heaven to set up the tabernacle of God with men, order and obedience had to be founded, rationality established and freedom constituted. In the and in the great multitude picked out of every nation and kindred and tongue, John saw the first fruits of the Lord's redemption; but for the establishment of the self-perpetuating kingdom of Divine truth upon earth, the nations of the earth had to be educated.
