"And Gave Gifts Unto Men,"
All the blessings which. In Gods
providence. are not coming to the
Church during this Gospel Age, and
all the blessings that In the Mllennial
Age will flow to natural Israel, 1.-THE
rebellious Also and MI the blessings
that will flow through Israel and Its
New Covenant to all the families of
the earth proceed directly or Indirect
ly from the great victory which our
Lord Jesus gained over sin and death.
Our text and context. as well as the
Psalm from which the quotation Is
made, bears out this thought. 1t is
because our Lord descended, because
he left the heavenly glory, and be-
cause. in harmony with the Fathers
Will, our Redeemer left the courts Of
heavenly glory and humbled himself to
become man, and then "humbled
himself to death, and even to the death
OF the cross" that his exaltation came
as reward of his loyalty to the Fa-
TIERS will.
And in the Divine Plan it is because
his resurrection body and glory were
a reward, a blessing-his earthly body
and nature and rights had not been
forfeited through disobedience-that he
had the latter with all its privileges to
bestow upon Adams dead and dying
race. He gave the merit of that sacri-
flee. first imputedly, on behalf of all
DESTROYS OF walking In his steps of
self-saerifien even unto death, that
these might be, In the Fathers good
pleasure, counted as his members and
companions on the heavenly plane. To
this end the first gifts were bestowed
at Pentecost; and all Of similar class
throughout this age have had oppor-
tunity for participation therein. Adj
ditionally gifts of helpfulness and In
struction and assistance were provided
through the apostles. orators, pastors
and teachers of the Church-for the
qualification Of these sanity footstep
followers for the work OF service in
building up the Body of Christ, until
the elect Body shall be complete
(Ephesians ". 11-l3,.
Soon these gifts and blessings and
privileges HOW granted and imputed
to the Church will be no longer needed
by the clsss being prepared for the
heavenly oint-hcirship. Then the gift
OF the AIilennia Kingdom, and
through Ir"ael the gift of the New
Covenant Jeremiah XXI, 80, will be
bestowed upon the blood-hought world,
granting to them individually the OPP
portunity of recovering from all their
deflement aud imperfeetion.
Let us then hail this great Redeemer
and Deliverer Lord Of all, Let us bow
our hearts to him now and voluntarily
| put on the yoke of his service and suf-
| fer with him "outside the camp" that
we may be accounted worthy of shar-
ing with him In the glorious work Of
his Millennial Kingdom as his Bride
and Joint-heir Hebrews xiii. 11-18.
