from the text that this statement is a
prophecy respecting the future-re-
speeding the time when Messiah's

Living and Dead-Just and Unjust.
Pastor Russell declares that Gods
provision for the Church will include
not only those alive at the Second
Coming of Christ. but also. by a resur-
rection change. all those who have
fallen asleep in Christ throughout This
Gospel Age. These will constitute the
first resurrection" and as priests Of
God and Christ will reign with him a
thousand years Revelation Xxx. A..
Just so also. the earthly blessings
will include not only the people living
at the time of the Inauguration of that
Reign of Righteousness, but also, as
the Redeemer said. "All that are in
their graves"-the evil as well as the
good. The sanity ones coming forth
will have their reward Immediately
because of their faithfulness during
their trial time. which precedes the
trial time Of the world. Then the mass
Of mankind. aside from the Church
class. will all be brought to a knowl-
edge Of the Truth-heathen and civil
lized-none will any longer be allowed
to grope in darkness or to be blinded
by Satan and the attractions of sin.
Satan himself will be bound and all
the fallen angels with him will be re-
strained from deluding or having any
thing further to do with humanity.
The light Of the glory of God will fill
the whole earth as the waters cover
the great deep Every knee shall bow
and every tongue confess to Messiah
to the glory of God the Father.
