    G. Campbell Morgan

    George Campbell Morgan was born in Tetbury, England, on December 9, 1893. At the young age of thirteen, Morgan began preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. Morgan and his wife, Annie, had four boys and three girls. His four sons followed him into the ministry.Morgan visited the United States for the first time in 1896, the first of fifty-four times he crossed the Atlantic to preach and teach. In 1897, Morgan accepted a pastorate in London, where he often traveled as a preacher and was involved in the London Missionary Society. After the death of D. L. Moody in 1899, Morgan assumed the position of director of the Northfield Bible Conference in Massachusetts. After five successful years in this capacity, in 1904 he returned to England and became pastor of Westminster Chapel, London, where he served for the next thirteen years, from 1904 to 1917. Thousands of people attended his services and weekly Friday night Bible classes.He had no formal training for the ministry, but his devotion to studying the Bible made him one of the leading Bible teachers of his day. In 1902, Chicago Theological Seminary conferred on him an honorary doctor of divinity degree. Although he did not have the privilege of studying in a seminary or a Bible college, he has written books that are used in seminaries and Bible colleges all over the world. Morgan died on May 16, 1945, at the age of eighty-one.

      I – INTRODUCTORY

      ..................

      FOR A CORRECT ESTIMATE OF the present times, and a true conception of future events, we must have a clear understanding of the things that are past. We are in danger of living too much in the present, and of looking upon the Divine activities as if they were haphazard or accidental, as our own always are, save as we are under the control of the Spirit of God. We seem to have contracted the idea that in the history of the race God has been making experiments with men; and that when one plan has failed, He has adopted another. Such false conceptions arise from the fact that, mentally and spiritually, we live too much in the circle of our own times, and are forgetful of all that has gone before. The corrective is found in studying history from the Divine standpoint. Nothing yields a more chaotic, uncertain, and unsatisfactory result than a view merely from the human side; while, on the contrary, order, beauty, and progress, are seen only as we take the Divine outlook.

      The Chart which accompanies these Lectures is intended as an aid to the mind through the avenue of the eye. It is a comparatively simple delineation of the events with which we have to deal, and is intended to represent the whole stream of time. The portion of a circle at the extreme left represents the past eternity. The beginning of time is marked by a small circle, signifying a, state of earthly perfection, the garden of Eden as it came from the hand of God. Human history runs on in epochs from the Fall of man to the Flood; from the Flood to the call of Abraham; from the call of Abraham to Moses; and the reign of Law to the coming of Christ. From the point where human sin begins, parallel lines mark the presence of sacrifice, the blood of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. At the end of the period of Law, the Cross is uplifted; and a, line ascending indicates the return of Jesus to the heavens. So far as humanity is concerned, that line is black, announcing the culmination of sin; and, in contrast, we have the upper half which tells of heavenly glory accomplished by that Cross of Jesus Christ. A large circle, showing the sphere of the Holy Spirit’s dispensation, the present age, follows.

      The whole earth today, as viewed from the Divine standpoint, is under the blood of Christ’s Cross. God is dealing with man, entirely and everywhere, under the shelter and shadow of that Cross. A thin line from Eden to Calvary marks the fact that throughout human history God has never left the earth without witnesses who have been loyal to Him. That line becomes, in the period of the Spirit’s work, a golden one; for the testimony is now of a heavenly, as distinct from the former earthly, character. A double line above the circle indicates the priestly work of Jesus Christ in the heavens during this period. The device of a tongue of fire represents the Spirit as connecting the exalted Christ and the earth on which we live. This dispensation ends with the coming of Christ, and the ascent of the Church to meet Him, marked by a ling the black of which signifies the mystery of the rapture to the unregenerate, and the upper portion, the glory the Church now enters upon with Christ. Then sets in a short period of tribulation upon the earth, indicated by a black section; at the end of which Christ and His Church come to the mid-heavens; He Himself descends to the earth; and we have the Millennium, a smaller circle with the star, showing that while an earthly glory is set up, the Kingdom of Heaven will be realized under the direct rule of Christ and His people. The line of sacri6ce is taken up and continued on our Chart immediately upon the end of this dispensation. At the end of the Millennium there will be a short period of further trouble upon the earth, again marked by a black section. The last section indicates the fullness of the times, the glorious reign of Christ, and then the great eternities set in, when God shall be all in all.

      It is well to approach this subject reverently, humbly, and apart from controversy. The Bible we shall regard throughout as the authoritative revelation of God concerning His dealings with men. We shall turn neither to the right hand nor to the left to defend the statements of the Word of God.

      At the outset, however, there are certain principles to which assent must be given, in order to a true understanding of the whole scheme of these studies.

      I. First, the one abiding, eternal, unchangeable fact- God is. It is necessary thus to get down to the bed-rock for a sound structure.

      II. Then we must recognize the truth of Divine Sovereignty. The God from Whose thought all good things come, has never handed over anything to other government than His own. It may be that, for awhile, the prince of the power of the air has seemed to rule; but let it never be forgotten that God is upon His throne, high and lifted up, still holding in His hands the reins of government. Not only in His own heavens, not only on this earth, but in the deepest abyss itself, God is absolutely Sovereign.

      III. The next point is that this rule cannot be set aside; it will continue forever, notwithstanding all opposition.

      IV. Lastly, because God is, and because He still holds the reins of government, there must come the final triumph of His Kingdom and of His will.

      II – FROM CREATION TO CHRIST

      ..................

      IN THOUGHT WE ENTER THE dread silence of eternity past; and as the voices of earth are hushed, we have in that silence one consciousness, God is love. Every movement of creation began there.

      In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

      The phrase the beginning carries us behind all dates. The first certainty is that God created-when, no man can tell: how far back, is beyond all computation. Behind the beginning of material things God. Those who would put science and revelation in opposition say to us, You tell us that the world is six thousand years old; but here is a piece of rock which must be thousands of years older. We reply that we do not count our six thousand years from the creation of matter, but from that of man. Your rock may be as old as you please. Our claim is that, beyond your longest stretch of years, is God-creating. Yet another change. The earth was waste and void; darkness was upon the face of the waters."

      It may be well to tabulate the statements of Genesis i. 1, 2:

      1. In the beginning God.

      The only satisfactory statement possible concerning the countless ages of the past. The light of the New Testament enables us to make a further assertion concerning that past eternity, viz., God is love."

      2. God created the heaven and the earth.

      That declares the origin of all of which we know anything beside God Himself. No date is fixed, nor can be.

      3. The earth was waste and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

      Between this and the former, some un-chronicled event has transpired; for waste and void are words which cannot describe the first conditions of any creation of God.

      4. The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

      The chaotic earth was not God-forsaken, but watched by the un-wearying vigilance of the Eternal Spirit. How long this lasted none can tell.

      We come now to
