Christ's second coming will exhaust the object of the Scriptures. His coming is the goal of all revelation, its furthest horizon, its last terminus, its Sabbath and haven. Thither are directed all the anxieties which divine truth awakens. Every hope which it kindles and every fear which it excites instinctively points to that awful event, its concomitants, and its issues, as the needle to the pole. To prepare men for it, as an event future to all whom it addresses, is what the Bible proposes, and positively all that it undertakes and is fitted to do.
