Synopsis :

What will become of those who are left behind? This is a sad question, but it is eagerly asked by many.... It may readily be supposed that the taking away of loved ones at the Rapture will cause many of those left behind to seek the Lord, but as the Holy Spirit goes back with the Church, and for the time being ceases His Office Work of Regeneration, who is to convert those who are left? -from The Second Coming of Christ The Reverend Clarence Larkin was one of the most widely influential thinkers on end-times prophecies of the early twentieth century, and his writings remain vital to appreciating the apocalyptic Christian thought that today enjoys widespread popularity. This 1918 work outlines exactly what the Bible predicts for the end of mankind's reign on Earth, and the return of the Christian savior, with a special emphasis on who is to be saved, and why. Numerous charts and illustrations depict the "Judgment Seat of Christ," "The Stages of the Second Coming," the "Failure of Man," and more. Also available from Cosimo Classics: Larkin's The Spirit World, Rightly Dividing the Word, and The Book of Revelation. American Baptist pastor and author CLARENCE LARKIN (1850-1924) was born in Pennsylvania, and later set up his ministry there. He wrote extensively and popularly on a wide range of Biblical and theological matters.

Présentation de l'éditeur: This edition of The Second Coming of Christ is complete with the charts for which the author was famous, together with his other original illustrations.

A devotional classic of the early 20th century, this book contains Larkin's investigations of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Based on his studies, Larkin concluded that the Second Coming was impending and that the events in Christianity hitherto - including the First Coming of Christ in Israel - happened in preparation for this great event.

Larkin supports his thesis with a close analysis of Biblical scripture and other sources, which he supplements with a series of illustrations and charts which pictorially demonstrate the validity of his arguments. Various recurring themes in Christianity, such as the conflict between the church and the Kingdom of God, and the natural of the spiritual world from which Christ will return, are discussed.

Clarence Larkin was a preacher and theologian who wrote a number of books which sought to explain the more obscure or mystical elements of the Holy Bible. His investigations were exhaustive, with every sentence and passage analyzed, explained and clarified for the lay Christian audience. Most notable of all is Larkin's profound influence upon visual representations of the Bible: his self-penned charts, often large in size and intricate, were printed and circulated separately from the books in which they had been appended.

As The Second Coming of Christ is one of Larkin's shorter works, it may be used as an introduction both to his style of writing, and to his unique use of charts. Readers should note that as many of the charts are very large, the small print may require use of a magnifying glass to fully absorb the annotations.
