Christ’s second coming figures prominently throughout the New Testament. Christ speaks of it. Paul hopes for it. The apocalyptic literature in Revelation warns of it. Given the multiple biblical approaches and a varied history of interpretations, how are we to understand Christ’s Second Coming? Mackintosh combs the New Testament to understand the nature of the Second Coming and the specific events which will precede it. He compares prophecy, parables, and apocalyptic literature on the subject to uncover the implications for both believers and unbelievers.
Man’s complete ruin in sin, and God’s perfect remedy in Christ, are fully, clearly, and often strikingly presented [in Mackintosh’s writings].
