the overthrow of every form of In

Golden Rule. In other words, when
the Kingdom class shall have been

which is the Divine arrangement OF
this Age. forthwith that Kingdom will

eousness will begin.
But God has a time and order and
arrangement In respect to every fea.
ture Of His Program. In the remote
past. before Jesus came and became
the Head and Leader of the Church to
Glory, God was in covenant relation
ship with Abraham and his natural
seed. The Scriptures assure US that a
| considerable number were so full of
faith and loyal obedience to God that
even though they lived at time be-
| fore the calling to the Church began
they. nevertheless. were marked by the
Lord for special blessing and special
share in the Kingdom work when the
time should come for Messiah to take
his great power and reign.
Reference is made to these Ancient
Worthless by st. Paul. in Hebrews xi,
S8-40 He says: these all died in
faith. not having received the things
| promised them-the earthly promises
God having provided some better
thing for us 1.-THE Church, that they,
without US, should not be made per-

ly blessing which belongs to them
Accordingly. the Scriptures tell us
that one of the first operations OF Mes
siah's Kingdom, after the binding of
Satan. will be the resurrection of the
Ancient Worthless of the Jewish race.
These, the inspired Word tells us. will
be made Princes In all the earth-rep-
resentatives of the spiritual and in
visible Messianic Kingdom. These
win constitute the earthly Jerusalem.
the capital Of the New Dispensation.
While the Law will proceed from the
invisible and all-powerful spiritual
Messiah. 1t viii come through these
resurrected, perfect and approved
earthly representatives: and from
them it will go forth gradually, as the
Divine message and rule. to every ma
ton, people. kindred and tongue.

i Even If nothing were said in the
Scriptures respecting Gods special
blessing to natural Israel. 1t might be
inferred that they would most quickly

own race. particularly as this would
be In harmony with the traditions of
their race for the past thirty-fve hun
dred years. Besides. the Law given
to Israel. and represented on the two
tables Of stone. will be the same that
will go into force again as the Law Of
the Kingdom-the Gospel Call being
an appendage. The difference be-
tween the Old Law Covenant and the
| New Law Covenant Jeremiah XXI,

have a greater and more powerful
Mediator than Moses: the Antitype Of
Moses-Jesus the Head and the Church.

all coming under that New Covenant,

their past sins so fully forgiven that
the Lord win not remember them any
more-the basis for this full forgive

Scriptures set forth that the New Cove

amongst those living under that Cove

Bible tells US, will also desire to enter

One King, But Two Kingdoms.
1t has escaped Christendom In gem
eral 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
Nv. 49,. For eighteen centuries God
favored the Seed Of Abraham, the ma
ton Of Israel
That period of favor, explain 1t how
we may, began to wane about the time
of Jesus death. It was completely
removed from them in the desolation
of their land by the Roman army A.
d. 70. Now parallel time has been
reached, hence 1t is time for the re-
turn Of Gods favor, as shown ON previ-
GUS occasions The faver already is
returning.
The Jew has not been SO comforta-
BILE. nor 80 favorably fixed. as he is to-
day, in more than eighteen centuries.
But his blessing is only beginning.
Shortly Divine favor, In Gods due
time, win 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 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 airships nor
torpedoes will Israels great victory be
gained; neither by money power and
worshiping of the golden calf Of finance
nor by trusting in the arm of flesh, but
by looking to the Lord, from whom

Messiah's Spiritual Empire, about to
