W hen G eneral D ouglas M ac A rthur left the stronghold of Corregidor during those dark days of World War II, it seemed like the end o f the road and he left in apparent defeat. But the part ing words of the great General became historic words, when he said, “ I will return.” And he did! These words suggest the promise of Another who also in the hour of seeming defeat said, “ I will come again.” These words were spoken by Jesus in the last hours before the Cross. From the human standpoint His campaign was a failure. His little army was frustrated and discouraged as their hopes of the victorious reign of Christ were shat tered by the ignominy of Calvary. Then He en couraged them with the promise, “ I will return.” Editor's Note: Before this message could be printed in T H E K ING 'S BUSINESS, Dr. DeHaan, one of this era's outstanding Bible teachers, entered into the fulness of being with the Lord. "A n d his works do follow him ." JUN E, 1966
These historic words are recorded in John 14:1-3, Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto my self; that where I am there ye may be also (John 14:1-3). Yes, Jesus Christ is coming back again. He said so, and He who is God cannot lie. He is com ing again, not in humiliation but in glory! Not as a helpless Babe laid in a manger, but as a tri umphant King of kings! Not to be rejected by men, but to be accepted by His people! Not to be spit upon and led to Calvary, but to sit on the Throne! Not to be judged by human puppets, but to judge the earth and to rule with a rod of iron! 23
