sanity Church selected during this Cos

dred and tongue. Not everything done by
typical characters is typical Although
! Messiah Is known as the second Adam
| the reflections Of the first Adam are not
found in him. Although Abraham typi-
! fed his Creator, he had blemishes, even
though he was the friend of God, and
possessed most remarkable faith. He was
| type Of God in that through his Son
blessings would come to the entire race
| Of Adam-in him all the families Of the
earth would be blessed. Again he typed
his Creator in that he offered his son
Isaac SCIENTIFICALLY. in order to the carry

Not everything that Isaac did represent

Rebecca typif1ed the Church. not In ev
| erything that she did, but in certain lead
ing particulars noted in the Scriptures.
| Thus Abraham sent his servant (who typi-
; fed the Holy Spirit) to find a bride for
| his son. Abraham charged him not to go
{ amongst outsiders and wayfarers. but to
secure bride from amongst those already
! related to him. The Holy Spirit was sent
| to call the spiritual little flock" during
this Gospel Age to joint-heirship with their
| Redeemer In his glorious Kingdom. which
! shortly is to bless Israel and all the fam
lilies of the earth by making them all
children of Observation-Disclosures Of God.
Thus In the antitype the Holy Spirit does
not go to the world to invite unbelievers
and lovers of sin to become Christ's joint
/ heirs in the Kingdom, but instead, goes
given to know the mysteries of the King
dom Of heaven, but to outsiders these
things are done in parallels"
| When Abraham's servant arrived at his
| destination he sought the will of GOD in
| prayer-Divine guidance in determining
! the one to whom he should make pro-
! posal of marriage for Isaac. At we'll he
met Rebecca. Water in the Scriptures is

found at the well Of Truth. Not only so.

! As soon as the decision was made, Ahra-

Rebecca additional jewels of silver and of

The journey to Isaac's home represents

their lives as they travel on under the
