Excerpt from Expository Thoughts on the Gospels
The expectations of Bengel, the German commentator, appear likely to be fulfilled with curious accuracy in the present day. He said, in the year A.

Now, therefore, a spirit of liberal Latitudinarianism will prevail everywhere, a notion that every one may be right in his own way of thinking, and consequently that all is well with the J ew, the Turk, and the Pagan. Ideas of this kind will wonderfully prepare men for embracing the false prophet.
