“The apostle Paul was moved to write in this manner on the second coming of Christ. "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a command, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God," and so forth. But the same apostle also set forth in order in his prophetic writings the ultimate coming of the antichrist and his depravity, and after this the glorious appearing of our Saviour.” FRAGMENTS IN DANIEL, FRAG. ε
