Pastor M.W. 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).

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.
