The Theocratic Kingdom of Our Lord Jesus, the Christ, vol. 3
Overview
In this work it is proposed to show what the Covenants demand, and what relationship the second coming, kingdom, and glory of “The Christ” sustains to the same, in order that perfected Redemption may be realized. In order to obtain a full and complete view of the divine purpose relating to salvation, we must regard past, present, and future history. The latter must be received as predicted, for we may rest assured, from the past and present fulfillment of the word of God, thus changed into historical reality, that the predictions and promises relating to the future will also in their turn become veritable history. It is this faith, which grasps the future as already present, that can form a decided and unmistakable unity.
This defense of dispensationalism is organized into a series of propositions which build upon each other. Each proposition is stated and then defended with a series of annotated observations. Volume two includes propositions 165–206.

Top Highlights
“The past, even in its naked historical connection, is not received, but in place of it reason is put under the guidance of an Origenistic rule of interpretation which makes the Old Test. say one thing respecting the Kingdom but mean another; and which causes the Prophets to predict, in the grammatical sense, one thing (believed in by the ancients) concerning the Kingdom but which must be understood differently.” (Page 220)
“The opposition that Jesus meets at His Coming, an opposition already previously organized and terrible in persecution, is of such a nature that it cannot arise without a long introductory process.” (Page 218)
“all things must be received and explained according to the teaching of present reason and experience” (Page 219)
“ Dr. Brown (The Sec. Coming, etc.), Dr. Hodge (Sys. Div.), Dr. Rice (Signs of the Times), etc” (Page 83)
“This opening of the eyes of the understanding only comes from a searching of the Scriptures.” (Page 309)
