In 1878 Blackstone published Jesus Is Coming, which went through three editions, was translated into 42 languages, and was dispensationalism's first bestseller in America.  It sold over one million copies.  It stands in the tradition of John Darby and Clarence Larkin.  In order to maintain formatting, chapter eighteen has a different font.  I personally am not a dispensationalist, but I find it an interesting and historically important book.

    Thanks for providing this PBB, Jerry. I'm currently reading about the dispensationalism vs. covenant theology so this resource will be useful.
