Excerpt from Thoughts on the Second Advent of Christ: Taken From Several Passages of Scripture in the Old and New Testament
Here is a great king or power, that has exalted himself above every thing that is called God, (verse 45) yet he shall come to' his end and noneshall help him. (chapter xii.) Here is Michael standing up for the children of barriers people. Who are the' children of Daniel's peeple'l The true worshippers'of God in Jesus Christ, whether they be Jew or Gentile. This is the inbringirrg' of the Jes with the fulness of the Gentiles to the promised land, when Christ shall come the second time, for it is not the gathering of the rebellious or died believing Jews to the land of promise, as many vainly believe, but' the gait er'iiig of the seed of Abraham according to the faith, dren the promise was given. At the resurrection, he will gather them from all parts of the earth, raising them from their graves torjoin bim~in his kingdom, and he will reign over them one thousand years; then shall Christ give up the kingdom to God the Father, perfectly pure, holy and happy as Adam and Eve, were, when God put them into the garden of Eden; for Christ 18 the purifier of all those that are willing to come unto him intheway that he has prescribed.
