Handbook 2 is about God's original plan and what He is doing now, including His Spirit's departure from the "organized visible church."
Why He Came
Handbook 2: Article 9 - Consider Jesus
Jesus came to Earth:
To show us the Father
To do the Father's will
To reconcile the world to His Father
To proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom
To overcome (conquer) the world -- deprive it of its power to harm
To share in flesh and blood
To seek and to save that which was lost
To make atonement for sin
To experience death for every person
To become the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him
To bring many sons to glory
To take hold of the descendants of Abraham, to give them a helping hand
To render powerless the devil, who had the power of death, to destroy his works
To purify a people for His own possession, a people zealous for good deeds
To found His church
To redeem His people from every lawless deed... to sanctify them entirely, so that their spirit, soul, and body may be preserved complete, without blame at His coming
To judge... to be a separator... to bring a sword on earth... to make the sightless see and that those who see may become blind...
To become a merciful and faithful high priest in things related to God
