Why I Preach the Second Coming
Haldeman, Isaac Massey
Second Advent
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our
iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his
stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his
own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all."
And in that hour, in that day of days shall there be a fountain
opened to the house of David, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
for sin and uncleanness.
The Lord will cause Jerusalem to be rebuilded "upon her own heap."
He will ordain the erection of that temple in which He shall
establish the throne of His holiness.
Like David He will reign first over Judah. After that He will send
Gentile messengers like "fishers" to seek out and find the
descendants of the ten lost tribes. They will respond to the
proclamation that will be made and to the search that will be
instituted in that eastern land and among those peoples whither they
were first carried away. There will be many impostors among them;
but the Lord will make them to "pass under the rod" as when the true
sheep are struck with the owner's mark and as they take up their
journey Zionward all who are not of Israel will be purged from their
midst.
Those who are really of the covenant people will be quickened,
regenerated, and when they enter the land will be welcomed by Judah
and Benjamin.
They shall become one nation in the land upon the mountains of
Israel. One king shall be king to them all. They shall not be two
nations any more, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms at
all. The Lord will make a covenant of peace with them and multiply
them and set His sanctuary in the midst of them forever. His
tabernacle shall be with them. He will be their very God as He shall
be the God of the whole earth. They shall be His peculiar people.
All the Gentiles shall know that He has set them apart for Himself
when they behold His temple erected in their midst, the most
wonderful building in all the earth.
And thus will be fulfilled the prophecy concerning Israel quoted and
emphasized by the Holy Spirit through the Apostle Paul that the
Deliverer should come to Zion and turn away ungodliness from Jacob
and that all Israel--that is--Israel united and as twelve tribes,
should be saved.
It is at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, then and not till then
that the solemn and covenant promises of God made to Abraham, to
Isaac and to Jacob will be fulfilled and united, redeemed,
regenerated and saved Israel set in their own land as the center and
channel of blessing to the earth.
