ough deluSion respecting Gods Plan
We have claimed that Christ set up
His Church in Kingdom power. and
that the Church has been reigning OF
the earth AZ His representative. On
the strength of this deluSion. Jews and
heretics have been prosecuted to death
as opponents to Christ's Kingdom. All

Heaven" We knew that the Redeemer
said that He would come again to
make us His Bride and joint-heirs: but
We ignored the Scriptures We were
drunk. as the Scriptures symbolically
say. "all nations were drunk" with the
false doctrine 1t is this false doctrine

rifice must. eventually, grant Adam and
his posterity a full. fair opportunity
for the attainment Of everlasting life.
