This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kingdom of God, or Reign of Heaven Among Men The law in hermeneutics The Unity of Truth has been fully recognised and it is the greatest joy to see all Scripture, whether in the Old or New Testament, that bears upon this theme brought into complete harmony. Every verse has been given its most obvious meaning; for most certainly the Lord knows how to express truth in the clearest way and He means what He says, and says exactly what He desired to say; and all twisting or strain ing of the Scriptures is insulting to God. Beware of the commentator who magnifies obscure truths, putting them in a place of great promlnence. God's light is not put under a bushel waiting for some visionary to lift it Off. AS it is absolutely necessary for a surveyor to find first his beginning corner before he runs his lines, so it is just as essential for a student to find the beginning of God's kingdom, that John and Jesus proclaimed to be at hand, before he can understand the purpose, nature or place of the kingdom of God in the earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kingdom of God When the forerunner's voice was stifled in the dungeon of Herod, Jesus caught up his word and preached the Utopia of John with a wider vision and sweeter note. The hereditary dream of the Jew passed through the soul of Jesus and was transformed. The local widened into the univer sal; the material was raised to the spiritual. A Jewish state with Jerusalem for its capital, and a greater David for its king, changed at the touch of Jesus into a moral kingdom whose throne should be in the heart and its borders coterminous with the race. The largeness of Jesus' mind is its glory and its misfortune. The magnificent conception was refused by His countrymen because their God was a national Deity; it has been too often re duced by His disciples because they have no hori zon. They have been apt to think that Christian ity is an extremely clever scheme by which a lim ited number of souls will secure Heaven - a rocket apparatus for a shipwrecked crew. Perhaps there fore outside people should be excused for speaking of Christianity as a system of the higher selfish ness, because they have some grounds for their misunderstanding. Every one ought to read Jesus' own words and he'would find that Jesus did not live and die to afford select Pharisees an immunity from the burden of their fellow men, but to found a Kingdom that would be the salvation of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Growth of the Kingdom of God A satisfactory treatment would require many months of closet application and an entire volume for the presentation of the evidence. In spite of the comparative length of the chapter, he does not pretend to have treated the subject in any exhaustive way. Indeed, this may be said with equal truth of the whole book. Rather than a minute examination of the facts, he has sought to take a bird's-eye view of the outstanding features, the more conspicuous movements and growth of Christianity. The primary purpose, the Japanese audience, and the practical, rather than the theoretical interest and aim of the book, will thus account for certain of its features, which, if produced under different circumstances, it might not have had. Its value, however, may possibly be increased rather than diminished by these factors and features. His indebtedness to various writers and his sources of information are sufficiently indicated in the course of the successive chapters. His thanks are due to personal friends and kindred who have rendered very material assistance in the forms of stimulus, suggestions, and correction of the manuscript. The defects incident to the attempt to cover so much ground in a single brief work, none realise more than the author. Among such a mass of statistics, errors are inevitable. None will be more glad than the writer to have such pointed out and corrected. That this volume may find its niche of usefulness, and may help onward the growth of the Kingdom, is the one desire of its author.

Download or read book The Kingdom of God Vol 21 written by William Miller and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kingdom of God, Vol. 21: October 25, 1842 Daniel ii.44: "And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever." Much has been said and written on this by different commentators. Different sects and partisans have seized this text, and applied it to their sect, and proved, as they verily believe, that their sect is the true kingdom of God, which will stand forever. The Catholics say it was set up in the days of the Roman Cesars, and thus claim for the Pope St. Peters chair and the kingdom, and that to the Bishop of Rome were the keys of this kingdom given at the demise of St. Peter, and the popes have been the successor and earthly head of this kingdom ever since. The Baptist writers, many of them, say the same, and claim a descent from the apostles for the Baptist church, making the church what the Catholics do the Pope; and try to show a regular succession of the church, as the Catholics do their popes.

It is time to recognize that its solution lies not in bio logical analogies, not in the exaltation of the State at the expense of the individual, nor again in the destruction of government, but in that gospel of the Kingdom of God which means the realization of certain ideals at once through social relations and through the highest and fullest development of personality.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kingdom of Heaven: A Revelation N sending forth his disciples to proclaim the good tidings that the kingdom of heaven is at hand, anticipating the probable rejection of their testimony, Jesus said, Nevertheless be ye sure of this, the Kingdom of God is come nigh. Long before his disciples were able to discern the true spiritual significance of that kingdom, to them it was 'given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, for they were witnesses of their outward manifestation long before they were spiritually pre pared to understand, or enter into, that state of blessedness through purity of heart and faith in God. No argument accompanied their announcement of the glad tidings, they simply proclaimed the good news; the attestation of its truth was independent of their own minds.

V. 19, xviii. Of such is the kingdom, he shall in no wise enter therein (mark x. I4, I etc. That in it the highest morality is obeyed, is clear from the Sermon on the Mount (matt. V. - vii. Luke Vi. 20 - 42) and the whole tenor of our Lord's teaching; and that it is done as the will of God, appears from the phrase kingdom, which often means reign, of its being joined in the Lord's Prayer with the doing of His will (matt. Vi. And from the many parables in which God is represented as a King, a Master, a Householder, a Shepherd, a Father, a Judge (matt. Xx. 1, xxii. 2, XXV.

Download or read book The Coming Kingdom Classic Reprint written by C. A. Rominger and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coming Kingdom It is the purpose of this little book to set forth, in Scripture language, as far as possible, a clear-cut distinction between the Church and the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus, the Christ. So few people seem to have grasped the real idea of the Kingdom, which is so clearly set forth in the Scriptures, that the author has been burdened for more than ten years with the need for such a work. John the Baptist came preaching, "Repent; for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." Jesus also preached the gospel of the Kingdom from the same text. So prominent was the thought of the Kingdom in the mind of our Lord that the word is used 124 times in the four gospels, whereas the word Church is used only 3 times. In the use of Scripture quotations, we shall use the Authorized, the Revised, and the American Revised versions, and Leeser's translation of the Old Testament. Aware of the fact that only a few readers will make the references to the Scriptures, where only the number of the chapter and verse is given, it is the plan of this book to embody the full text into the work. Let no one object to the length, or the number of the quotations given; for it is the opinion of the author that these will be the strength of the work. It is his purpose to put together in close connection all the Scriptures bearing directly and unmistakably on the subject in hand. We shall not hesitate either to use the same texts in different chapters as they bear on the thought in each chapter; for the same texts are pertinent to two, three, or even more thoughts; viz., the Kingdom, the King, the Throne, and the Nations. In the minds of many the Church and the Kingdom are synonymous terms. Indeed, that has been the teaching of the pulpit for many years, but they are essentially different, and must be so recognized or confusion follows, and the mind of the reader becomes clouded. Let each text have its most apparent meaning. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Kingdom of Heaven Classic Reprint written by H. Maldwyn Hughes and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-18 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kingdom of Heaven The aim of this volume is practical. Every preacher and teacher has to face the question - What is the Gospel? Jesus began His ministry by proclaiming the advent of the Kingdom of Heaven. It is, therefore, a matter of paramount importance to ascertain the significance of the Kingdom in His teaching. This has been one of the main subjects of theological inquiry during recent years. There are still wide divergencies of interpretation, but there is a growing recognition that neither the 'evolutionary' nor the 'catastrophic' elements in our Lord's teaching can be explained away, if justice is done to the records. I have striven, in these pages, to present both aspects impartially, and to show how they are related to one another. The subject is approached in the light of the critical study of the Gospels, but with a desire to avoid the subjectivity which is so often the bane of the critical method. A theme on which so much has been written offers little scope for originality. I venture, however, to cherish the hope that the presentation of the material may help some of those who are engaged in the practical work of preaching and teaching to a better understanding of the central message of our Lord's ministry. I have to express my obligations to my friend, Rev. Sydney Cave, D.D., Principal of Cheshunt College, who has read most of the manuscript and has made valuable suggestions, and to my wife, who has assisted in reading the proofs and in preparing the index.

Download or read book The Kingdom and the Messiah Classic Reprint written by E. F. Scott and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kingdom and the Messiah It has long been recognised that the message of Jesus was related, in some of its aspects, to apocalyptic Judaism. The closeness of this relation has become ever more apparent as we have advanced to a larger knowledge of the surviving Jewish literature. Criticism is gradually settling towards the conviction that the apocalyptic element is not merely accidental to our Lords teaching, but is all-pervading and determinative. The discovery is still so recent that there is a tendency on all hands to exaggerate its significance. Conservative and radical thinkers alike have eagerly laid hold of it, and have endeavoured to press it into the service of their favourite theological views. In the present book I have sought to interpret the Gospel record on the ground of the new hypothesis, with special reference to the attitude of Jesus towards the two cardinal apocalyptic ideas of the Kingdom of God and the Messiah.
