The Earthly Zionism.
Speaking from the text THE Law

Word Of the Lord from Jerusalem"
isaiah ii, 81, Pastor Russell declared
that Christians had inadvertently mis-
appropriated to themselves many
promises of the Scriptures which are
not wholly theirs. Christian creeds
and theories have surmised that,
through the rejection of Jesus, all
Jews dying in unbelief of Messiah
were foreordained to an eternity Of
torture because of that unbelief in the
Only Name.
A more careful study of the Bible,
he declared. is showing Bible Students
the error Of this position. Jews who
do not accept Jesus as their Savior
and who do not become followers in
His steps in the marrow way" will in
deed fail Of attaining place with
Jesus in his Throne of glory. They
will fail to become joint-heirs with
Him in His glorious Messianic King

with Messiah. This glorious privilege
is about to end because the full num-
Der predestinated of the Lord will soon
have been completed. Meantime, the
Pastor and others of Gods consecrated
people should be Zionists in the high
est sense of the word and, laying aside
every weight and every besetting sin,
each should strive to make his calling

Heavenly Zion-the Kingdom Of Mes
siah.
It will be from this Mt. Zion, the
spiritual Kingdom Of Messiah, that the
Law will go forth during the thousand
years Of the Messianic reign; the great
Judge and Law-giver of the world will
be the glorifed Redeemer; and His
associates, in His various Offices Of
Prophet, Priest, King, Judge and Me-
diator, will be the faithful Zionists Of
the present time who follow in the
steps of their Redeemer, delighting to
lay down their lives for the Truths
sake and for the brethren's sake, in
cooperation with the great Captain Of
their salvation, through the merit Of
His imputed righteousness.

1 AS soon as Mt Zion, the Kingdom,
shall be completed by the glorifcation
Of the last member Of the Church, it
will be time for the Law to go forth
therefrom for the correction Of the
worlds affairs in righteousness for
the overthrow Of every form Of iniqui-

Kingdom class shall have been COM
pleted by the elective process, which
Is the Divine arrangement Of this Age,
forthwith that Kingdom will come into
power and the reign Of righteousness
will begin.
