"~S "ioSVAh budA tuc hAuHuoih has an
earthly human phase as we'll as a
heavenly spiritual phase.
The very opposite of this obtained
at the first advent. The Jews expect
ed an earthly kingdom but could not
discern the heavenly one. This is de-
signated mystery, and the natur-
al man cannot understand it, but
through no fault of his own. Because,
as Jesus said. mo man can come to
me now except the Father draw
him.. F." "Of his own will begat he
u.s. No man taketh this honor unto
himself /"
The fact is, only the spirit-begotten
ones of this Gospel age will ever be
born, /. e.. experience a change of ma
ture from human to spiritual These
only will ever occupy this exalted
position from among men, And these
are pointedly brought to our attention
as a little flock, who are
figuratively termed the Lambs
Wife, the 144, 900. These are the
spiritual seel of Abraham. of whom
it is written, "If ye be Christ's then
are We Abrahams seed, and heirs tof
the kingdom) according to the prom
ISIS" made to Abraham, namely. "In
thy seed shall all the nations of the
earth be blessed. Gen. 22:15; Gal
B: $3.50. These are married to the
Lamb REV. 10: Z, s, 81 and are in
the throne. Then we have a great
multitude who are invited to the
marriage feast These have palms"
and are before the throne.
These two classes, we apprehend,
will be the spiritual ministers and a
gents, under the King, from and by
whom the blessings, tho opportunity
for life eternal will flow to the world
then on trial. These during this age,
the time of their trial. have been
drawn by the Father; the one into
complete conservation and separation
from the world, and typifed aptly by
Rebecca (Isaac's wife, the Lords
goat and the Aaronic under-priests.
The other great company class conse-
crate also but they sacrifice unwilling
". They look back at the human ma
ture sacrificed, and seek the things
which belong to this instead of 'set-
ting their affections on things above, "
Yet they do not deny the Lord and
, draw back to second death, but they
lose the prize of joint heirship in the
throne. Instead of becoming the
| Lambs wife, they become her assis-
tants on lower, yet grand plane.
These arc typified by Rebekah' s
nurse" the Escape goat, the Lev
ties, etc, and are we'll represented by
the foolish virgins of the parable.
All others who obtain to eternal life
will do so as perfect human being with
perfect human bodies. The faithful
worthless of the past who have hao
their trial and brought to our atten
ton in Heb II will be raised perfec
human beings and will be the
"princes" the earthly representatives
of the heavenly spiritual kingdom
That these do not belong to the spirit
ual class of this gospel age is showl
by Heb II 40 and Ps. 1915, Johl
the Baptist and forerunner belongs t.
this class, as our Lord said of him
1.-THE least in the kingdom of HEAVIER
(the powers of spiritual controO i
greater than he" The prophets ar,
profuse in their pen pictures of thi
earthly phase of the kingdom, as tn
following sample quotations will at
test; 'Rojoice We with Jerusalem ant
be glad with her that ye may b
delighted with the abundance of he
glory: for, saith the Lord, Behold
will extend peace to her like a river
and the glory of the Genties like
flowing stream. "At that time the,
shall call Jerusalem the throne of th
Lord and all nations shall be gathere,
unto it. " "And many people shall g
and say, come We, and let us go up t.
the mountain (kingdom) of the Lord
to the house of the God Of Jacob; ant
he will teach us of his ways, and W
will walk in his paths; for out of Zio
(the spiritual phase) shall go fort
the law and the word of the Lord froI
Jerusalem the earthly phase. lisa
