Christ's Spiritual Coming.

By Editor

The idea that the coming of Christ is a spiritual event, upon which the popular teachers of the present day so often and gladly dwell, is well treated in the following extract which a brother has had the kindness to preserve and hand in for the benefit of the readers of the REVIEW:
"Further, the idea of a spiritual coming of Christ, when an absolute coming is intended, has no foundation. A spiritual coming evidently supposes a spiritual absence, which is contrary to fact. Spiritually, the Lord Jesus has been with his saints from the beginning. He promised to be with his ministers to the end of the world. See Matt. xxviii, 20. In a similar manner is he with all his saints. John xiv. And since, in this sense, he is and has been with his people, and since in the prophecy an absolute coming to take the kingdom is predicted, it is in the highest degree absurd to talk of a spiritual coming. This all must see and admit."
