Dialogue Between.a Pharisee and
Il Nazarene.
CONTINUED

Phorisee-As you do not believe In the
immortality of the soul, what becomes of
the righteous and the wicked when they
die?
Nasarene.--Both classes return to dust.
David. speaking of mans death, says
His breath gOeth forth, he returneth to
his earth; in that rery day HIS THOUGHTS
PERISH"
Phartsee.-What advantage, then, have
the Just over the unjust?
Naaarene.-A remarkable advantage.
The righteous are to. be rcsurrected, but
the wicked are not.
PhQrisee.--Is there to be no resurrection
of the wicked for the purpose of judging
them? j..
Nazarene.-None whatever. Christ said
that he that believeth not Is condemned
aiready." And If condemned, then is he
Judged already, for Judgment always pre-
cedes condemnation. "THE WAGES OF SIN
Is DEATn"-eternal deatll-for "man that
is in honor, and UNDERSTANDABLE not, Is like
the beasts that perish.".
PhMisee.-Whatj judgment is 1t that takes
place when Christ returns?
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, in this conncc
ton. means Il remarkable punishment
You remember that Jehovah told Abra-
ham that his seed should serve n strange
nation 400 years, and said unto him, THAT
nation. whom they shall serve, Will ]
Judge" The result of this judgment was
that Pharaoh and his host were drowned
in the Red Sea. But no sensible man
would say that those Egyptians, who died
hundreds of years before, were affected in
the least by the calamity thus inflicted up
on the nation of Egypt. 10 acas a judg
ment Of the lring only. The Judgment
to which You refer, will be u judgment OF
all the nations of the earth; and we have
shown that this Judgment will occupy
forty years, (Micah 7:l5) and have given
our reasons for believing that all the Gen
tile inhabitants of the earth, from twenty
years Old and upward, with few excep-
lions, will be slain.
Phartsee.-This will be dealing with the
Gcntiles as the Hebrews were dealt with
when God brought them out Of the land Of
Epypt. DO you consider the II event a.
typical of the other?
Ndzdrene.-Most assurcdly do.
Parisee.-WhaJ becomes of all those UNI
der twenty years of age who escape de-
struction in the forty years Judgment?
Nusarene.-They will constitute the sub.
iccts over whom Christ and the Saints will
reign.
Huisee.-Win these subjects be morta.
or immortal?
Nuzayene.--They will be mortal, and will
marry and be given in marriage; but dur.
