| How speedily the world will ther
learn righteousness Now it doubts
| the very existence of God, and de
clares that if He exists He pays little
or no heed 10 wrong-dOers. Now the
wicked flourish; yea, they that tempt
God are even exalted" as the Scrip
lures declare. But the New Day will
change all this. Messiah will lay
| righteousness to the line and justice &c
| the plummet, and the hail Truth
shall sweep away the refuge OF
lies, Misrepresentation, misunderstood
ings" Qsaiah xviii II, 49,. "The
blind shall see out of obscurity, and
the deaf ears shall be unstopped;'
''The knowledge of the glory of the
Lord shall fill the whole earth" until
None shall need say to his neiehbor
Know the Lord for all shall know
Him"
Gravitation Reversed
The present tendency is TO gravitate
downward. but our text tells OF a re-

the righteous Kingdom OF Messiah:
MANY people shall say, Let US go
up" The Kingdom, in its original
establishment, will be Israelitish-

Prophets will be made Princes in all
the earth psalm xiv. 1G).
The Jews. naturally. will rally to
their standard and begin to recognize
The fulfiiment of the prophecies of Old.
Other nHtiOnalities will begin slowly
to realize the import of the great, New
Jewish Dispcnsation. Their ideas and
ideals will be autagonistiC for a time.
Gradually they will see the Restitu-
ton blessings coming to Israel, in har,
mony with the Divine arrangements
of the Kingdom. Then, as our context
declares. Many people will say,
Come let us go up to the Mountain
of the Lord to the House of the God
of Jacob; He will teach us as well as
the Jewsl His ways and we fas well
rs they'll will learn TO walk in His
paths"

Judging Among the Gentles
Tho context tells us that the new
King, Messiah will judge amongst the
nations-amougst all the peoples. 1t
will he a general Judgment first, an
individual one subsequently. The ma.
tional judgments will mean calnmities
upon the nations. The demonstra.
tons Of the great dreadnaughts and
great armies will prove that they are
not TO be the pcaccmakers OF earth.
On tho contrary. those trusting in these
devices will suffer most severely. All
must learn the lesson that Messiah's
Kingdom comes not by human might
nor power bHt is the Lords institu-
ton, in His own appointed time.
The lesson will be so thoroughly
learned in that Day Of Trouble that
war win forever cease. The Prophet
David tells us that the mighty army of
the Lord. through Messiah's Kingdom,
will work havoc with present institu.
tions. Then He will make wars to
cense unto the ends of the earth" Our
context tells us that thereafter "Phey
shall beat their swords into pillow
shares ana their spears into pruning
hooks; nation shall not lift up sword
against nation, neither shall they learn
war any more" Even Boys Brlgadcs
etc, thereafter will be at discount.
Human energy and activity will find
better employment in conquering self
sin-sicliness and death.
tiiciing In the Rocks
The description here given by the
Prophet Isaiah OF the Day with which
this Gospel Age will end. the great
Day when Messiah's Kingdom hegins
agrees very closely with description
Of the same given in the book Of Reve
lation. Isaiah tells us that idoatrv to
gold and silver shall he brought TO an
end. and the great trouble Of that Day
viii cause many TO hide themselves in
the rocks. for fear of the Lord and for
