THT7ESDAY ! iu. Prof. Mitchell at Westoii. ALBANY'S PAST.
OUriNGNO.4.
In my last outing, I told the readers of
the Democrat about a preacher who be
longs to no church. I will now tell them
about one who is aCongregationaliat. Ho
came to Sodaville to visit his parents.
While here he gave several Bible-readings.
One of them was on the second
coming of Christ. At the beginning of
his reading.'he stated that there are two
methods of interpreting the passages "of
scripture which refer to this second com
ing, the literal and the figurative. He
adopts the former method and is sure he
is right. He is so certain about it that
he positively asserted that there is no
authority for the figurative interpreta
tion. His theory is that Christ will come
personally before the mileniuni and that
the dead saints will rise at his coming
and will reign with him a thousand
ears. Jerusalem, which is now in a
state of preparation, will be the capital
of his kingdom.
He founds bis theory (he calls it an es
tablished fact) on Rev. SO :4 add posit
tively asserts thaf'there is no scripture"
for any other than the literal interprets'
tion of the passage. Well, for the sake
of argument, we will take it literall v
What does it say? That the dead saints
will rise and reign with him- a thousand
years? Not at ail. It says that "the
souls of them that were beheaded for the
testimony of Jesus and for the word of
tiod lived and reigned with Christ a
thousand years but the rest oi tbe dead
lived not again until the thousand years
ressurrection of the martyrs at the sec
ond coming of Christ, there will have to
be another resurrection of tbe rest of rue
dead. He overlooked this point and did
not say one word about it. Where is his
proof that there will be "two resurrections
of tbe dead? The Bible clearly estab
lishes the fact that there will be a gen
eral resurrection oi all the dead and after
it a univeral judgment. If the dead
martyrs rise and reign with Christ in
their natural bodies will they die again
during the little season in which -the
devil is let loose, and rise again, the last
i day? If so, where is "tbe scripture for
it?" It cannot be found. "It Is ap
pointed unto men once to die and after
this the judgment." This judgment ac
cording to the scripture, will be soon af
ter the general resurrection. He in
terpreted Kev. 21 :1M7 in the same
way but gave no "Scripture for it." He
simply said that the "great city, the holy
Jerusalem, descending out ot beaven
from God was a reaiitv and must be
taken literally." Well, we will suppose
it mast be taken literally. From what
part of the universe did it come? Was
it from the place to which the Savior
ment when he said to his disciples
go to prepare a place lor you ; and if I go
and prepare a place lor you, x will come
again and receive yon to myself." Our
Bible-reader did not explain it. He as
sured us that the Jerusalem in the Pal
estine of older times was undergoing pre-
para tion for the return of the Jews and
the personal reign of Christ alter his
second coming. Why then did the hol
Jerusalem descend out of heaven" It
must have been tor some purpose. What
was it? That is what I would like to
know, but our Bible-reader did not tell
us.
But this is not the only difficulty con
nected with the literal interpretation ot
this passage. We are told that this city
was 12.000 furlongs, or 1500 mites long.
and of the same breath and height. If it
was a real city, it putxle me no little to
see how tbe inhabitants could get from
the lowest to the highest parts of it. Our
mole-reader did not tea us. rtrtiaps
thev had elevators.
We are also told that 'the city was
pure gold, like unto clear glass, and the
foundations of tbe watt ot tne city were
garnished with all manner of precious
stones." The weight of this city IjOO
miles high. whose only material was pure
gold, must have been tremendous, and
1 know of no word, even in tbe Standard
dictionary, with which to qualify the ad-'
besibility or cohesibility, whichever it is,
of tne particles of matter in the founda
tions. There is no material on tne earth
which can support the pressure of golden
city 1500 miles in height. !
These are some of tbe difficulties
which present themselves to my mind
in connection with the liberal interpre
tation of these two passages (Rev. 20:4
and 21 :10-17). It seems to me that our
Bible-reader did not read between tne
lines. He is the only man that I ever
saw who was perfectly sure that he un
derstood all that is in the Book of Rev
elation. All others have found it full
difficult, even when interpreted figura
tive it ; but be alone knows exactly wuat
the Holy Spirit meant when be inspired
John to write as he did. And so it was
in reference to every passage which he
quoted as proving his theory of Christ's
second Uoming. lie was absolutely cer
tain that "they have no meaning, if ex
plained in any other way than literally.
I will now eive some of the other oas-
sages quoted by him to prove his theory,
and 1 will allow tbe reader to lodge lor
himself or herself. John 14 : 2, 3 : Heb.
9:28;lThes. 4:16-18; Dan. 7:13,14;
Dan.l2:9;Matt.24:30:lThes.5: 1,2;
2Thes. 2:6.
I doubt whether any of these passages
have reference to the Second Coming of
Christ according to his interpretation;
but I allow him tbe right of private
judgment. Freedom of opinion is the
privilege of every man in this great land
of oars. o man, However, nos a right
to sit in judgment and say positively
that his interpretation of the Scriptures
is right and all others are wrong. But
this is just what our Bible-reader does.
lie knows be is right and asserts posi
tively that his interpretation is "not a
theory but an established fact." But
this is not all that be savs. He made,
with no limitation or qualification, the
fnllnwinc assertion ; "If we do not be
lieve in a literal Second Coming of Christ
to reign a thousand years, we cannot
look for film." tor tnis assertion ne aiu
not give a shadow of proof. It was a
simon-pure ipse dixit. To my mind it
was a very presumptuous assumption oi
superior wisdom on his part, but no
more than tne lonowing: ine umvenw
rh was sneaking of tbe five foolish vir
do not wish Christ to come and
11 Kn oovt ri a wKftllltanrl
yearn, and this is the reason that they Uo
nor. helipve thifl view of bia Second Com-
incr " Just after this he stated as a fact
tha fnl Win? ; "Everv 27th verse of the
Kihln has reference to the Second Com
ing of Christ to reign personally on the
.Drth thnnoanil vears." This I do not
accept as a fact. I do not believe there is
a single verse in the Old Testament
ihu- i refers to ine oecouu vuuuu v
Christ to reign -personally on the earth
tirnnt vears: and I am not sure
that t.liarn ia one in tne new AtBiaiuciiv
T An not anv that there is none, but I do
say that the texts quoted by our Bible
reader and his assumptions did not con
vince me that he is right ana tnat an

Second Coming of Christ will be at the
