Church History to the Council of Nicæa: A. D. 325 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Church History to the Council of Nicæa: A. D. 325

This desire has been quickened by signs of the times at home and abroad.

Many things seem to show that the Church ought to be preparing herself to live, as it were, again in the ante-nicene age.

The predictions also of sacred Prophecy, which has foretold that the Opposition, with which the Church had to contend in those earlier times after the first Advent of Christ, will reproduce itself, with more intensity, in the latter days, before His Second Coming, may now be deemed to be in course of fulfilment.

In some countries, the Christian Church is sepa rated from the State, as it was in the first three centuries of the Christian era.

In other parts of the world, the temporal Power is withdrawing its support from the Church; and in others, it is arraying itself in antagonism to it.
