| Summary |
"Why I Preach the Second Coming" by Isaac Massey Haldeman is a theological treatise written in the early 20th century. The work serves to articulate and defend the doctrine of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, emphasizing its significance in Christian theology and its foundational role in the faith. Haldeman presents a variety of biblical references and theological reasoning to assert that this event is central to themes of redemption and eternal life, affecting both individual believers and the entire Church. The opening of the text establishes the basis for Haldeman's address, delivered at the World's Conference on Christian Fundamentals in 1919, introducing key reasons for preaching about the Second Coming of Christ. He highlights its frequent mention in scripture, its interconnection with fundamental Christian doctrines, and its implications for both personal faith and the collective mission of the Church. Additionally, he outlines a historical and prophetic framework by referencing figures like Enoch, Noah, and Abraham, illustrating how their narratives foreshadow the ultimate fulfillment of promises tied to Christ’s return. Haldeman's rhetoric seeks to not only inform but also inspire vigilance among Christians regarding this pivotal event, emphasizing the hope and urgency it carries for the faithful.
