The Premillennial Advent of Christ

In discussing the question of the pre-millennial advent of Christ, Professor Harnack, of Geissen, Germany, says that the belief of it "can only exist along with the unsophisticated faith of the early Christians." This is a splendid testimony in favor of those who believe in the soon coming of the Saviour, because "the unsophisticated faith of the early Christians" is the genuine faith of Jesus Christ. And as the belief that the Saviour will come before the millennium can only exist along with this faith, it follows that this doctrine is part of the true faith of Christ. In this expression the professor is strictly and happily correct.
