Why I Preach the Second Coming

Why I Preach the Second Coming by Isaac Massey Haldeman is a theological exploration of the significance and implications of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Haldeman argues that the Second Coming is the most frequently mentioned event in the Bible appearing in various forms such as prophecy parable and direct statement. He emphasizes that this event is intertwined with every fundamental Christian doctrine including resurrection judgment and redemption. The author asserts that the Second Coming is essential for the completion of redemption and the justification of the sacrifice on the cross. Haldeman also highlights the practical implications of this doctrine suggesting that the anticipation of Christ's return should inspire Christians to live holy and devoted lives. The book underscores the idea that the Second Coming is not merely a theological concept but a pivotal event that will fulfill God's promises to Israel establish a reign of righteousness and transform the earth into a paradise. Haldeman's work is a call to recognize the imminence of this event and to prepare for the transformative change it will have on both individuals and the world.
