It has escaped Chrlstendom in gen
eral until now that the Divine promise
to Abraham is TO be fulfilled through
two seeds-one a heavenly class, the
other an earthly class, with Messiah
the Head over all. For eighteen cen
turtles God favored the Seed OF Abra-
ham, the nation of Israel. Chastise-
ments they had, reproofs in righteous
ness: yet IN all that time they had also
Divine favor. as represented In their
Law and I'm the Prophecies and In the
privileges which came TO them under
the Law Covenant, in that they had an
annual Atonement Day, which contin-
