Books Treating Upon the Subject of the Second Coming of Christ
At different times and in different places, the Saviour, while here on earth, spoke of his return, when he should come as “King of kings and Lord of lords.” Holy men of God, as they were moved by the Holy Ghost, have prophesied of this grand event. These prophecies, some of them fulfilled, others partly fulfilled, and some yet to be fulfilled, all deal with a theme upon which many authors have delighted to dwell. No other subject is of such importance to the people of this generation, and those who have light concerning it are under obligation to give that light to others. Believing this an opportune time to call to the attention of the readers of the REVIEW interesting and important publications on this subject, and suggesting a specially wide circulation of the same among their friends and relatives at this particular season of the year, we submit the following:— TREATING upon the marvelous record of the nineteenth century,—the wonderful advance in the sciences and art, the development of natural resources, the prevalence of crime, the perfection of death-dealing instruments of war, the suppressed anger of nations, the disturbed condition of the elements,—and citing scriptures that declare these to be signs of— This book sets forth the prophetic signs with their present partial fulfilment in the appalling loss of life by murder, suicide, political and social troubles, dissatisfaction between employer and employed, strikes and fires, wars and rumors of wars, as evidence that there is a social vortex into which all unsettled factions and the world at large will soon be plunged as another great sign of the end of earthly kingdoms and the setting up of the everlasting kingdom. “Heralds of the Morning” has just been revised, and greatly improved in contents, illustrations, and new attractive cover design. Bound in durable cloth, with marble edges. Price, $1.50. Regular discount to agents. THIS work presents in a clear, concise, and interesting manner the live issues of our times, revealing how history is accurately fulfilling the great prophecy of Christ as recorded in Matthew 24. The money question, the iniquity abounding in political, social, and religious life, the great war preparations of all nations, and other kindred topics, are discussed in separate chapters, showing that they are but the response of history to the unerring voice of the prophecy of Christ and his apostles. These events are all shown to point to the great culminating event of this earth's history— and the restoration of this earth as the final abode of those who are faithful in their allegiance to him. “The Coming King” has been thoroughly revised, and brought up to date. It has also been reillustrated, and new matter added. There has been quite an improvement made in the cover design, but the prices will remain the same as before; namely, plain binding, $1; gilt, $1.50. Regular discount to agents. Our Country; Its Past, Present, and Future, and Its Place in Prophecy
TAKING up the history of American progress since the nation's birth, all those elements, which have entered into the life of our country to make it, at the close of the nineteenth century, a world power, are considered. The manner of its rise and its nature politically are taken as evidences of its importance in prophecy, while the marvelous development of natural resources and the advance in the arts and sciences declare the character of the time in which we live. While the historical past and the present of this nation are of great interest to the American people, and easily attract their attention, the principal object of this book is to call attention to the Scriptural future of this nation, and through it, to the final termination of all earthly governments and the setting up of the kingdom of God. Cloth, plain edges, $1.25.
