From His 1854 Work, The Apocalypse Fulfilled
(On the Significance of A.D. 70; Second Coming of Christ)
"The Lord came, as he said, to destroy Jerusalem, and to close the dispensation." (Preface, p. vi).
"NO scriptural statement is capable of more decided proof than that the coming of Christ is the destruction of Jerusalem, and the close of the Jewish dispensation." (p.9)
(On Revelation 1:8)
The words h, gh/ , are not infrequently used in the Apocalypse in connection with other clauses which qualify their meaning, making it evident that no particular land is pointed out, but earth generally. . . . But the words in question are sometimes found qualified by governing considerations which define and determine their meaning, and this is always the case, when they are found in connection with the governing clauses "they that dwell". Then they have, and can have, only one meaning; then they refer only to one land and to one people, and this land and this people must be the land and the people of Judea." (pp. 12-13.)
