Book Description
Excerpt from The Millennium, or Essays Theological and Didactic, on the Sabbath: On the Scriptural Passage "One Fold, and One Shepherd;" On the Seven Churches in Asia, &C We would not have known it was sin to break the commandments, if they had not been given, to give us knowledge of sin; for where there is no law there is no transgression, and as Paul said, Rom vii, 7, 1' I had not known sin but by the law, for I had not known lust exceptthe law had said thou shalt not covet, I would not have known it was obligatory on me to keep the Sabbath if the law had not said thou shalt keep the seventh day holy. By that I know it is sin to break the Sabbath, for by the law is the knowledge of sin, Rom. Iii, 20. And _the penalty of sin under the new covenant is eternal death, for the soul that sinneth shall die, Ezek. Xviii, 4, 20, Jer. Xxxi, 80. To find that the American people and others keep the commandment accord ing to the decree of Constantine, a Roman emperor, whose reign com menced long after the apostolic day, and who seemed to be impressed with the belief, like many others at this time, - thatkeeping the Sabbath was commemorative of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Now if that be true, we should keep the first day of the week as a festival and not the seventh and cook and feastinstead of rest, which suits the custom of many at the present time. We learn from St. Matthew xxviii, 1, Luke xxiv, 1, John xx, 1, that-christ rose from the dead on the first day of the week and St. Mark xvi, declares his resurrection on the first day of the week after the Sabbath had past and that his followers after his crucifixion returned and prepared spices and ointments and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandments, and went on the first day of the week and found that Christ was risen, Luke xxiii, 56, which shows that Christ's disciples were not impressed with that belief.

Book Description
Are these the last days? Could Jesus return at any time to establish his thousand-year reign on earth? What is the nature of Christ's millennial kingdom referred to in the book of Revelation? What must happen before Jesus returns, and what part does the church play? Three predominant views held by evangelicals seek to answer these and related questions: premillennial, postmillennial, and amillennial. This book gives each view a forum for presentation, critique, and defense. Besides each contributor's personal perspective, various interpretations of the different positions are discussed in the essays. Three Views on the Millennium and Beyond lets you compare and contrast three important eschatological viewpoints to gain a better understanding of how Christianity's great hope, the return of Jesus, is understood by the church. The Counterpoints series provides a forum for comparison and critique of different views on issues important to Christians. Counterpoints books address two categories: Church Life and Bible and Theology. Complete your library with other books in the Counterpoints series.
