Why I Preach the Second Coming

Why I Preach the Second Coming by Isaac Massey Haldeman presents a compelling, biblically grounded case for the imminent return of Christ that challenged and comforted listeners at the 1919 World's Conference on Christian Fundamentals. Haldeman, a seasoned pastor and preacher, distills why the Second Coming is central to Scripture and essential to Christian faith—arguing it touches every fundamental doctrine, fulfills covenant promises to Israel, completes redemption, and ushers in a reign of righteousness and peace. Rooted in early 20th-century urgency after World War I, this religion-genre sermon explores eschatology with pastoral insight and practical emphasis: the doctrine is not merely prophetic speculation but a motivator for holy, practical living and the Church’s rightful role in God’s plan. Haldeman shows how the return of Jesus transforms hope into expectancy and scripture into action, making complex theological claims accessible to lay and learned listeners alike. Ideal for students of theology, pastors, and anyone drawn to Christian eschatology or historical sermons, this audiobook offers clear exposition, devotional warmth, and a reasoned case for why the Second Coming remains central to Christian belief and practice.
