The Pre-Millennial Advent Disproved
By Editor
A TRACT has been sent us, entitled, "The Pre-Millennial Advent Disproved," by one W. Gribbon. A sample of the argument is shown by the opening words:— "The pre-millennial theory of the second advent of Christ is disproved by the following considerations: First, it maintains false views of the kingdom of God. It makes Christ's kingdom a literal one, whereas he says, 'My kingdom is not of this world.'" If the pre-millennial theory never has to do battle with any heavier argument than this, it will never suffer. Just as though nothing could be literal that was not earthly. In heaven we have "a better and an enduring substance." Heb. 10:34. The writer makes the same mistake that is made by many others; he confounds Christ's present kingly priesthood with his eternal reign. When Christ comes his kingly priesthood ends.
