Dr. Cumming of England, in concluding a lecture on the coming of Christ, says:
There is nothing shocking in it. Our Saviour does not so construe it; for what does he say? "When ye see these things come to pass," What! be terrified—be alarmed—resign your duties? No, no, no. The Bible is too rich in common-sense: And who can possibly regret the nearness of such a consummation? What will it be? The end of sin, the emancipation of the oppressed, the extinction of war, the return of earth's ancient glory, the restoration of all the blessedness we have lost, a peace that passeth understanding, no more quarrels, no more misapprehensions, no more sorrows. Instead of dreading the advent of so glorious an epoch, with all our hearts we should pray, as from the heart I do, Come, Lord Jesus; yea, come quickly.
