there will always be a difference ,of

Arrived at the end Of her Journey,
she found herself In the presence Of
Isaac, ana Immediately aiighted from
her camel and covered herself, with a
veil. Thus, pictorially. is represented
the fact that the Church, when having
experienced the change Of the First
Resurrection and In the presence OF
the heavenly Bridegroom, will no
longer need the guidance of the holy
Spirit, through the Scriptures, This
part OF the picture. Of course, is yet

roborate the fact, that the time OF
this glorious change is nigh at hand.

Isaac Immediately received Rebecca
and took her into his mothers tent.
Sarah had died and Rebecca became
her successor. Thus Is beautifully

OF mankind. which win be regenerat-
ed. or granted new life by the great
Messiah during the thousand years OF
his reign as the Mediator OF the New

Messiah Will be the regenerator and
his Bride will be the nourlsher, In

the New Covenant. because It win be
this antitypical Isaac and his Bride
that win mediate for Israel. and
