Prophecies of Jesus / Matteson, J G / (HB/1895-1895/RED/C+/USED)

God has revealed his wonderful love for mankind by giving his beloved Son to die for them. Jesus is the life and light of the world, and it pleased the Father to freely give us all things with him. Through him we have obtained the Holy Scriptures, the testimony of God concerning Christ. ** We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write. And again the Scriptures say, "Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently: ...searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow."
Jesus loved his church on earth and did not want her to be in darkness concerning the things that would come upon her, and that would be the means of her salvation. Hence he revealed future events to the prophets by his Spirit. Of the last book in the Bible we read that it is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass." The book which is hereby presented to the reader contains a portion of the word of prophecy belonging to our time, revealed by Christ either verbally or by his prophets, and the apostle says of the word of prophecy, "Whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place."
The first and second parts of this book treat of the prophecies of our Saviour and the apostles; the third and fourth parts, of the visions of Daniel and John. Jesus is the source of all prophecy. For this reason the book is called the "Prophecies of Jesus." May the same spirit that guided these holy men as they wrote these predictions also guide him who reads it, and may he be a partaker of the blessing pronounced by the faithful and true witness: "Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand."
