The Kingdom of God Once the truth about
human nature has been grasped, it will readily be understood why human governments throughout the centuries have
failed to establish lasting peace on earth. The minds of men are powerless to cope with the severe problems which
have arisen, but from the beginning the Bible has foreseen their solution. The intervention of God in human affairs
at a critical moment in history is the firm prophecy of the Bible.
The return of Jesus Christ to the earth, just as literally as he left it, was the unanimous hope of the early
believers. The Church abandoned it in the early centuries, because Christ did not come as soon as they had hoped,
but even more because it did not square with the popular idea of the righteous enjoying their reward in heaven
at death. The New Testament repeatedly asserts the Second Coming; the apostles take it for granted in their writings.
