McLees of the Willamette Christian Center In a recent article in the Emerald, I read a statement made by a friend. This statement referred to the Second Coming of Christ to the world He stated that Jesus was not returning to the world to redeem society by direct intervention and those who believed this were copping out religiously I cannot agree with this position. The article disclosed two statements of Jesus declaring them to be in error. Two scriptures were cited by way of example. Hie first. “Verily I say unto you there be some standing here which shall not taste of death ‘til they see the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom” (Matt. 16 28), on the surface presents a problem. We must remember that the Bible was not divided up into chapters and verses as we have it. Read the next statement in context. It states: “And after six days, Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up to a high mountain apart and was transfigured before them and His face did shine as the sun. and His raiment was white as the light.” (Matt. 17:1). This is not a pic ture of a man but of a transfigured kingdom man. Isaiah said of Him, “He hath no beauty that we should desire HjmThe Prophet further referred to him, “as a root out of dry ground,” in other words, earthly man But now they were seeing the Kingdom of God in the sense that He was tran sfigured before them and His face did shine as the sun and His raiment was as white as light. Jesus made no mistake when He made that statement. Those disciples standing there actually saw the Kingdom of God in the Person of Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration before they “tasted death.” The other quote was “this generation shall not pass Til all these things be fulfilled.” (Luke 21:29). Here again, it is wise to read the context that one might get the truth Jesus said, “. . . I tell you, this generation—that is the whole multitude of people living at the same time, in a definite given period will not pass away till all these things taken together take place." (Matt. 24.34 Ampth version). Jesus did not say the generation that was living right at the time he uttered these words would be the one that would see the Son of Man coming. But what He did say was this. “The generation that sees these things all taken together coming to pass.” It was not possible for all of the things of which he spoke to be taken together or happening in the same time period in which Jesus lived on earth. Why? For Jesus also said. “For there will be a great distress upon the land, and WTath to this people and they will fall by the edge of the sword (speaking of Israel) and they will be led captive into all nations .” (Luke 21:23-24). The Bible also speaks of the regathering of Israel into their land after centuries have passed. “After many days, you shall be visited and mustered for service; in the latter vears vou (Israel's enemy, shall g0 against the land that is restored from the ravages of the sword, where many nations upon the mountains of Israel which had been a continual waste; but its people are brought forth out of the nations . .” (Ezekiel 38:8 Amplified). For many decades now, Bible believing preachers have preached that the Jew would return to the land of Israel, in fact, in 1864, Dr. John Cumming stated, “How comes it to pass that as a nation they have been dispersed over every land, yet insulated, separated, and alone amid the nations? The predictions of their restoration are in words as definite only not yet fulfilled. As a nation they were cut off and disper sed, and it is “as a nation that they shall be gathered and restored.” This man wrote this over a hundred years ago on the strength of the teaching of Jesus. But our generation has lived to see Israel return and become a nation on May 14, 1948. This is a major development of our time. The generation that sees all the various events taking place together, this will be the generation that sees His return. These events included the dispersion of a people and their regathering to their national home land. “Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.” (Matt. 24:42). Pastor Truman Robbins University Street Church of Christ OF ONE HEART AND SOUL By William J. Richardson, Interim Minister University Street Church of Christ TTiey were “of one heart and soul”—such is the witness of Acts 4:32 concerning the earliest believers. Something new, or more correctly, someone new had come to their lives, and now the whole world was different. Each of them sensed a new oneness with other believers. They still had different opinions on many subjects relating not only to life outside their fellowship but to their life inside the fellowship as well. For example, they may have had different feelings about how many Roman troops—if any—should be garrisoned in : Jerusalem to keep order, whether Christians should j attend chariot races, or whether too much smoke j was being created by refuse-burning in the Valley of i Hinnom south of the city. Nor may they all have been in accord on ways of carrying out their mission to those outside the fellowship, or how to distribute food and other necessities to the needy. But they were one in Christ, and this relationship tran scended all such differences—social, economic, racial, political—they may have had. "Hiis sense of oneness reflected itself in personal sacrifices freely made in love in behalf of the fellowship: . . Neither was there among them any that lacked; for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them and brought the prices of the things that were sold . . . and distribution was made to each ... as any had need.” (Acts 4:34-35) How else can we explain the existence and continuance of the fellowship in such an en vironment. hostile and threatening? How else can we explain the progress in witness and mission that caused some people at another time and place to accuse Christians of turning the world upside down (Acts 17:6)? Their faith had brought them new life, new fellowship, new sense of mission. To a world acutely aware of its need for a new sense of community the New Testament community bears witness to the power of Christian faith to build a lasting and meaningful fellowship among men.
