Author’s Preface
The Triumph of the Crucified—this is the import of the New Testament historical revelation. The winning of the church, the conversion of the nations, the transfiguring of the universe are the three chief stages in the triumphant course of His redemption. Christ Himself is the first-fruits, the beginning of a new humanity. In harmonious rhythm of ages and periods the Divine economy moves towards its eternal goal. The end of the whole, as its beginning, is God Himself (1Co_15:28).
To show this connexion is the task of the present history of salvation. It is an attempt at an outline drawing of the Divine unfolding of the redemption of the world culminating in the heavenly Jerusalem.
At a time of great events in world history this book speaks of the greatest event which has taken place on earth and is still taking place, the redeeming work of the Son of God. It speaks of the people called His church, and of the carrying through of His plans for His kingdom, with Israel and the nations, with the individual as with the universe.
Out of all the darkness of time our gaze will be directed to the sunrise out of eternity, to the victory of the cause of Christ and the glorious future of His church. And our hearts shall rejoice over the plans of His love, and as we march on through this world, with its crises and catastrophes, we shall know that “light must ever arise to the righteous” (Psa_97:11, that “the path of the righteous is as the brilliant light of dawn, which shines ever clearer until the height of day” (Pro_4:18).
