Excerpt from The Pre-Millennial Advent of Messiah Demonstrated From the Scriptures: Specially Addressed to the Consideration of the Ministers of Christ

A period of fourteen years has now elapsed since, in the first edition Of my work on the Apocalypse, which appeared in 1813, I brought before the church the doctrine of the second personal advent of our Lord at the commencement of the Millennium, and his reign upon earth during that dispensation. Opposed however as these views were to the doctrine held in highest repute in the church, and unsupported as I then was in maintaining them, by any other commentator of the present day, I did not, either in the first or the second editions of my work, enter into the subject minutely. I was, indeed, well aware, that the mind of the Christian public was scarcely at that time prepared to receive even some distant hints of the nature of the dispensation, which I then believed to be rapidly approaching, and now believe to be at the door. Contenting myself, therefore, with a simple avowal of the doctrine wherever it occurred in the course of exposition, I purposely abstained from further details; but in the Preface of my book, the sense in which I held the advent itself was thus explicitly acknowledged.
