Jesus is Coming by William Blackstone and published by Classics.
Having found in over forty years experience the “Blessed Hope” of our Lord’s return to he a most precious influence in my Christian life, promoting holiness, consecration of time and substance, and intense activity in our Master’s service, I humbly commend it to each of you for personal comfort, and as meat in due season to preach to your congregations.
Oh! Brethren! There are tens of thousands sitting under your ministry who would be comforted by the simple testimony of the Scriptures on this all important subject. Thank God there are many who do exalt this truth, but how it must grieve the Master to see the multitude of preachers who are indifferent to his promised return, and eliminate the “comfort” which he has commanded and which the masses need.
With all my heart in this my seventy-sixth year do I implore you to read this book. Many have testified that it has made the Bible a new book them. May it be so to you, and may we all, some day, rejoice together with Luther, Melanchthon, Calvin, Knox, and the Wesley's singing “Welcome to our descending Lord.”
