9th verse yet TO be fulallsd, for he Ia
never appeared with his holy angels, mel

cordlng to his works, See I'd Cor. 8 I 10
The 2sth verse is explained In the mex
chapter, verses i-2-3 A scene whlcl
Christ calls In the 9th verse a vision
This was u MIXTURE view OF Christ CON
lug In his kingdom. Matt, 2ii 1924
The disciples asked Two questions, name
iyi "Whcn shall these things beY Wha
shall be the sign Of thy comiag and tn
end Of the world,
/, When shall the temple be thrown
DOWN. 2, What shall be the slgn Of thy
coming, elc.y
The disciples understood that Christ
would come ut the end OF the world, henc,
they asked the question accordingly, the
same rs In Matt, 49, 40, The cath verse
does not touch the question at issue as |
see, Matt. 81 .. The word kingdom OF
heaven does not always imply the same
thing. Sometimes the King, as we think
the text just mentioned does, sometimes
to the subjects, as IN Matt. %; |. Luke
II 20, the same aS In Matt. 5; 2. Mar.
GIN reads (among you.) 1t Is quite gen.
orally supposed from this text that the
kingdom Of God Is in the hearts OF be-
levers, but if people will just notice the
class to whom Christ Is talking, We think
they will see their mistake, for Christ has
told these persons before this that they
were Of their father, the Deyii, and tnat
they were the children OF hell. The
Greek testament reads thus "Nor shall
they say, behold here, or there; for, be-
hold Gods Royal Majesty Is amoug you,
The Greek word Basileid here refers to
the person to whom the title and honor
OF king belonged, rather than to his terri.
tory or kingdom. Prof Whiting, an able
Hebrew and Greek scholar, says this
clause In the 2lst verse ought to be rem
dered, the king Is among you. The text
in Matt. 8: 2, is rendered the same as
this. Matt. /: II, the same. Mark 8:
$3.50. The 3Sth verse confirms or pas
sion. 39th verse Is not in the chapter, 80
we do1t know what II means. Mark l3:
oath verse we have noticed In former or.
tlclcs. The 30th verse speaks Of this
generation, that 1t shall not pass until all
things be fulfilled. What is meant here
by gene ration? Bible students disagree,
but the scriptures must settle the question
II 1t is settled at all. David said, Psalms
% 30. "a seed shall serve him; 1t shall
be accounted to the Lord for q genera
ton. What seed IS thisy Psalms IA: 5.
"rherc were they In great fear; for God
Is in the generation Of the righteous"
This shows that the seed mentioned is the
righteous; hence the generation OF the
righteous. Ps. "a: 6. This Is the gen.
Grafton Of them that seek him; that seek
Thy face, o Jacob" In Prov. 10: SOLVE
read, "The righteous shall never be re-
moved, but the wicked shall not inhabit
he earth" SO this generation shall not
PASS away, until or before all these things
,e fulfilled.
Luke 0: 27, the same US In Matt. l6.
1928. Luke 2l 6, same as we have no.
iced in Matt. "a. The 27th verse is what
We believe will be seen; also every eye
hall see him. Rev. Il 7, "And all kin
lreds of the earth shall wall, because
II him." an event not yet fulfilled. John
}; SO. "Christ is appointed judges" See
Tohn 5: 22-27. "Aud he has u day ap-
,ointed to execute it," See I'd Tim. 4: l.
John 2l: 20. proves nothing positive:
imply supposition of the disciples.
'ohn l2: 81. The result shows the ma
ure Of the Judgment referred to. 1t was
ot Christ's judgment on the world, but
he world passed judgment on him and
asst him out. In Matt. 2l: $3.50, Christ
peaks of himself by way Of a parable,
lie was the heir, and they said, "come, let
8 kill him, and let us seize on his Inherit
nee, aud they caught him aud cast him
ut Of the vineyard, and slew him." That
hrist is the Prince referred to, is evil
ent, as seen also in Acts 3: 10, Sand
illed the Prince Of life, whom God hath
lised from the dead, whereof we uye
illnesses" See also Rev. /: s. The
reek testament reads as follows There
now q Judgment Of this world, the
ller Of this world shall now be cast out.
