173. The Coming of the Lord is revealed, in the end of a Church. At the end of the Jewish Church, He Himself came in flesh, and He then revealed Himself as being God or Jehovah Who would come, as written in the Prophets, and still further that He it is Who rules heaven and earth and Who is the only one God, this, in the Gospels (Matt. 24) also is called His Coming. For thus far He had been practically neglected because in thought and idea He was regarded as an ordinary man concerning whom there was scarcely any thought of anything of the Divine, for the reason that men have in their idea placed the Divine outside Him and not within, as undoubtedly He teaches. By the Divine outside Him, most men have understood the Father, thus another person, so that the Lord was practically neglected in the world at the end [of the Church]. Therefore His new and Second Coming is made.
