"I believe we Gentiles have been very guilty concerning a large portion of God’s truth. I believe that we have cherished an arbitrary, reckless habit of interpreting 1st-Advent texts literally and 2nd-Advent texts spiritually. I believe we have not rightly understood ‘all that the prophets have spoken’ about the 2nd personal Advent of Christ any more than the Jews did about the 1st.” - JC Ryle
