Eschatology, or the Scripture Doctrine of the Coming of the Lord, the Judgment, and the Resurrection

by Samuel Lee

Excerpt from Eschatology, or the Scripture Doctrine of the Coming of the Lord, the Judgment, and the Resurrection

The language of the Saviour can be understood only as we know the circumstances in which it was uttered, and especially the character and opinions of the persons addressed. This is preeminently true of what he says of himself as The Son of Man, of his kingdom, and of his coming in his king dom. Most modern commentators seem to suppose that the Jews, and especially the disciples of Christ, ocen pied the Same stand-point as themselves, and that the language addressed to them on this subject, must mean what it would mean if addressed to the men of this day. As well might it be assumed that what should have been said in the days of the Messiah, of the earth, the starry heavens, the rising of the sun.
