Ono Kinu, But Two Kingdoms.
1t has escaped Christendom in gen.
era! until recently 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 tRomans
~. l6,. For eighteen centuries God
favored the Seed OF Abraham, the ma
ton of Israel.
That period of favor, explain it how
we may. began to wane about the time
Of Jesus death. 1t was completely
removed from them in the desolation
of their land by the Roman army A
D. 10 Now a parallel time has been
reached. hence II is time for the re-
turn Of Gods favor, as shown on preVi'
GUS occasions. The favor already Is
returning.
The jew has not been so comforta

day, in more than eighteen centuries

Shortly Divine favor, in Gods due
time, will accomplish for His Chosen
People all the precious promises of the
Law and Of the Prophets, Already
the Jew is awakening to a realization
Of this great truth.
A voice Is sounding from the wilder
ness, and the Jews everywhere are
hardening to 1t. 1t does not call them
to become Christians. but to remain
Jews and to realize, as Jews, the ideals
set before them by the Lord in the
Law and in the Prophets. To all
those exercised thereby a great bless
Ing Is near, which will more than
compensate for the sorrows of the past
Neither by swords nor guns nor dread
noughts, neither by flying airshlps noI
tOrpedoes will lsrael's great victory be
gained; neither by money power anC
worshiplng of the golden calf Of finance
nor by trusting in the arm Of flesh, buI
by looking to the Lord, from whom
will come their help.
Messlah's Spiritual Empire, about t
be established, will bind Satan. re
strain every evil and lift up a stand
ard for the people, blessing Israel ant
establishing with them the New Law
Covenant instead of the Old Law
Covenant-under the better Mediator
still more capable than the grea
Moses; under the greater King. still
more wise than Solomon and still NOR
beloved Of God than David. This grea
Celestial Empire will be established
with great authority in the world by
time of trouble, a time of earthly dis
tress, which the prophecies picture a
terrible.
l%sraers Hopes-Why So Delayed2
The perplexing thought with on
Jewish friends. as well as With Chri,
tlans. is: II these things be so; II Me,
slabs Kingdom is yet to. be establish
ed, as the Jews contemplated, only o
a spiritual plane instead Of an earthl
one; and If Gods purpose is to us
those %anciently favored people us tn
channels Of His blessing In the futur,
why has there been so long delay?
We answer: This is what the ScrlI
lures term the Mystery-the matte
which God did not reveal direct,
either to Abraham or through any {
the Prophets. Indirectly He limited {
1t, saying to Abraham, THY Seed sha
be as the stars Of heaven. and as tn
sand Of the seashore for multitude"
But Abraham did not discern, NJ
did others, that these two illustration
belonged not to the same people, bt
to two different lsraels-the heavenI
and the earthly, the stars representa-
the heavenly Seed and the sand of Ii
