believe that the scriptures do reveal to
us in plain language, that Jesus Christ
will appear again on this earth that he
will come in the glory Of God, in the
clouds of heaven with all his saints and
angels; that he will raise The dead bodies
Of ell his saints who have slept, change
the bodies Of all that are alive on the earth
that are his, and both of these living and
raised saints will be caught up TO meet
the Lord in the air. There the saints
win be judged and presented to the Fa-
Their without spot or wrinkle. Thea the
gospel kingdom will be given up TO God
the Father. Then will the Father give
the bride to the Son Jesus Christ, and
when the marriage takes place, the church
will become the New jerusalem the
beloved city, And while this is per-
forming in the air, the earth will be cleans
ed by ire, the elements will melt with fer
vent heat, the works OF men will be de-
stroyed, the bodies Of the wicked will be
burned to ashes, the devil and all evil
spirits, with the souls and spirits Of those
who have rejected the gospel. will be BAN
ished from the earth. shut up 10 the pit or
place prepared for the devil and his an
gels, and will not be permitted TO visit the
earth again until thousand years. This
is the FIRST resurrection and first judgment.
Then Christ and his people will come
down from the heavens, or middle air, and
live with his saints on the new earth in
new heaven or dispensation forever, even

Then will the promise of God TO his
Son be accomplished, will give him the
heather for his inheritance, and the utmost
parts of the earth for his possession
Then the whole earth shall be full of
his glory And then will the holy peo-
pie take possession Of their joint heirship
with Christ and his promise be verified,
the meek shall inherit the EARTH and the
Kingdom of God will have come, and his
will be done in earth as in heaven After
a thousand years shall have passed away,
the saints will all be gathered and encamp-
ed in the beloved city. The sea, death
and hell will give up their dead, they will
rise up on the breadths of the earth out OF
the city, a great company like the sand OF
the sea shore. The devil will be let loose,
70 go out and deceive this wicked host =
He will tell them OF battle against the
saints, the beloved city; he will gather
them in the battle around the camp of the
saints But there is no battle. the devil
has deceived them The saints will Judge
them, the justice Of God will drive them
from the earth into the lake of fire and
birthstone, where they will be tormented
