Synopsis

The Destiny Of Mankind, Or, What do The Scriptures Teach Respecting The Final Condition Of The Human Family? by Obadiah H. Tillotson. This historical tract argues for universal salvation, contending that all humanity will ultimately be holy and happy in a restored relationship with God. Tillotson surveys key biblical themes—God's will, the Abrahamic promises, the law's intent, and Christ's redemptive work—to support the claim that every person will be reconciled to God. He cites oaths, covenants, and prophetic promises as evidence that the salvation of all is assured, and he addresses common objections to universalism, including concerns about judgment and the afterlife. The book analyzes terms such as death, perish, and destruction, arguing that they often denote present-life phenomena or symbolic language rather than eternal annihilation. It also interprets the second coming and resurrection as instruments leading to universal restoration, asserting that God will ultimately be all in all. Originally published in 1851, the work defends a universalist reading of Scripture.
