246 The Hope of Israel: What Is It? hence it was reckoned that the year 1000 A. D., would terminate the current age and witness the Lord's Advent and the final Judgment." As to this Dr. Stafford comments as follows : "That there was a Jewish expectation of a millennium of some kind, and that it has had some influence upon Christian eschatology, is freely admitted. But that this Jewish notion is found in the New Testament is denied. This false idea, like many other false ideas, has come into Christian thought from Judaism, but does not belong there." In proof of this Dr. Stafford points out that our Lord Himself was a martyr to His outspoken "nonconformity to Jewish notions," and to the fact that He was a complete contradiction to their ideas of the Messiah; "that Paul's life-long fight was against Jewish notions"; and that he "saved Christianity from the ruin which the Jewish party in the first churches would have brought upon it." And rightly he says : "The idea of a civil government on earth for a thousand years is not found in a single utterance of Jesus, Paul or Peter ; much less that Christ is going to 'set it up' when He returns." , It is very signficant indeed that, in the various passages that refer to Christ's second advent, although a number of things He will do are specified, not a word is said about the setting up of a civil government on earth. Indeed, as will be shown later on, some of the things that are definitely predicted to happen at that time, effectually exclude the possibility of the millennium which many are now expecting.
