The Last Things is a book written by Joseph Agar Beet that explores the Christian doctrine of Eschatology, or the study of the end times. The book is divided into four sections, each of which examines a different aspect of Eschatology. The first section focuses on the return of Christ and the events that will precede it, such as the rise of the Antichrist and the Great Tribulation. The second section discusses the resurrection of the dead and the final judgment, including the fate of the righteous and the wicked. The third section examines the nature of the eternal state, including the new heaven and earth and the nature of the glorified body. Finally, the fourth section discusses the practical implications of Eschatology for Christian living, including the importance of living in light of Christ's return and the hope of eternal life. Throughout the book, Beet draws on Scripture and theological tradition to provide a thorough and thoughtful examination of this important aspect of Christian belief.Two Chief Subjects Are Here Discussed: The Second Coming Of Christ, And The Future Punishment Of Sin. Of These Topics, The Former Has Been Discredited By Attempts To Read Into The Unfulfilled Prophecies Of Holy Scripture Predictions Of Modern History. Undeterred By The Failures Of Earlier Interpreters, Successive Writers Have Attempted To Delineate The Course Of Events In The Future; Pushing The Dates Further And Further Forward As Earlier Anticipation's Have Been Disproved. The Failure And Manifest Folly Of These Attempts Have Led Many Thoughtful People To Turn Away From The Whole Subject Of Unfulfilled Prophecy As Having No Bearing On The Practical Life Of today. Even The Plainly Foretold Return Of Christ To Judge The World, Which Occupies So Large A Place In The New Testament, Has Been In Great Measure Overlooked. To Others, This Oversight Has Given To The Subject Undue Importance. The Practical Use Of The Future Punishment Of Sin As A Means Of Moral Persuasion Has Made It In All Ages A Favorite Topic In The Pulpit. And Popular Preachers Have Used A Free Hand In Delineating The Sufferings Of The Lost. But, In Modern Times A Quickened Moral Sense Has Revolted Against The Heartless And Awful Pictures In Which Some Preachers Have Indulged. In This Volume I Have Endeavored To Reproduce, Impartially And Fully, The Teaching Of The New Testament On Both Departments Of The Subject Before Us.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
