This work of ENGRAVING the Gentiles
into the Jewish stock and making them
heirs with the Jews of the orig
inal Divine promise made to Abraham
has progressed for now nearly nineteen
centuries. This is the same Gospel,
because it all springs from the same
gracious promise. 1t was good
tidings" when as a message 1t was
given to Abraham. It's value was In
tensified when God made oath to its
certainty of fulfilment. The fulflment
began in Jesus. continued through the
Jewish disciples, and now has accumu-
lated a considerable number of the
Gentiles-probably the foreordained
number is completed When the Elect
number shall have been tested and
proven and shall have been accepted
in the resurrection change and passed
beyond the veil-then this most won
derful feature of the Gospel win have
been accomplished.
Jewish Share of Gospel.
The completion of Spiritual Israel
will be followed by the establishment
or Messiah's Kingdom and the begin
ming of the blessing of all the families
Of the earth. We are to distinguish
here between the Church and the fam
flies of the earth, for the Church in
their conservation and acceptance Of
the Lord and begetting of the Holy
Spirit become members Of the new
nation. They are no longer humans
AS st. Paul declares, "Ye are not in
the flesh, but In the spirit, if so be that
the Spirit Of God dwell in you" Gro
mans viii, 81. The Church not only re-
ceives eternal life, but that life is on a
higher plane-as spirit beings. Theirs
will be glory, honor and immortality,
In joint-heirship with their Lord.
Amongst the families of the earth to
be blessed by Messiah's Kingdom the
first place will be given to Natural Is
rael In all things the Jew was to
have pre-eminence, for this is the Di-
vine arrangement. As the Jew got the
opportunity Of becoming members of
the Body Of Christ before it was Of
fered to the Gentiles, so Fleshly Israel
will be the first nation to be granted
the opportunities and blessings of Res
titution to human perfection under
Messiah's Kingdom. Provision has al
ready been made for this. Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob and all the Prophets
Of old have the testimony that they
a better resurrection than the ordinary.
They cannot be members of the Bride
Of Christ, nor sharers In the spiritual
privileges and the Heavenly Kingdom.
They lived before the High Calling,
before the Heavenly Calling was open
cd. Jesus was the Captain, Leader and
Forerunner in this, and His joint heirs
all follow Him. None of them pre-
coded Him.
"Princes in All the Earth"
But the Messianic Kingdom, itself
spiritual, will need earthly Representa-
tives, and they are provided for in those
Ancient Worthless. Their testing hav-
ing been completed, they win be raised
perfect human beings, as Adam was in
his perfection, and Jesus in His, while
on earth. Their superior powers OF
mind and body will soon grasp all the
wonderful things which Divine provi
dence has arranged for since their day
and they will be quite masters of the
situation. Naturally, perfect men viii
be Princes amongst imperfect ones
But these will hold the title from the
Great Messiah. This is prophetically
stated: Instead Of Thy fathers shall
be Thy children, whom Thou (Nessiah
shalt make Princes in all the EARTH
Psalm xiv. 16.
Assuredly the new order Of things
will appeal to the Jew first. His les
sons under the Law will make him spe
cially amenable to the new condition
Of things, for during that thousand
years all mankind will be judged, no
according to their faith entirely, ou
specially according to their works
Faith will be easy when knowledg,
will be so complete and so general
Good works will be gradually more ant
more possible as they shall be blessed
and restored to perfection under the
Kingdom arrangements.
The Scriptures intimate that the
world at that time will be in defect
cd condition The great thine Of Trou
BILE" with which Messiah's Kingdom
win be inaugurated will cut a deeI
swath in earthly hopes and ambitions
and all nations will be In the condition
to desire the Messianic Government
and then, 1.-THE desire of all nations
shall come."-Hag. II, 7.
"Come, Let Us Go Up"
The Scriptures prophetically foretel
that as the Divine blessings Of Mes
siah's Kingdom go more and more t.
Israelites, other nations will take not,
Of this and 'be inclined to entreat /,
share Of the Divine favors, saying
"Come, let us go up to the mountain
(Kingdom) of the Lords house; HI
will teach us Of His ways and we will
walk in His paths The whole world
every nation, people. kindred, tongue
needs just the blessings Of healing
and life eternal which the Messianit
Kingdom is to offer them. And tht
terms will not be impossible, but quit,
the reverse. Messiah is to be, not only
a Great King to rule, but also Grea
Priest the Church with Him II
promised to be Royal Priesthood
However, God will not accept any
other nation than Israel. All of His
blessings are to go to the Seed Of
Abraham. And as Abraham's Seed
spiritual in the resurrection becomes
"as the stars of heaven" so his seed

earth, and are compared to ''the sand
of the seashore" Nor will this be an
arbitrary matter 1t means the great
est good to all. Note that the first
members of Spiritual Israel came from
Natural Israel, and that the Gentiles
were grated In. Similarly the first
fruits Of the world will be Natural
Israel, but all nations will have the
privilege and opportunity of being en-
grated into and becoming members OF
Israel-much after the same manner
that people of all nationalities com.
ing to American Canada may enjoy
citizenship here under certain Coven
ant conditions. The New Covenant
conditions inaugurated with Israel Ger
XXI. 31-3G will thus be open to all
mankind, because all will be permitted
to become members Of Israel. Thus
es the Scriptures prophesy, Abraham

nations. Romans ", II.
Eventually, all the willing and
obedient Will be glad to enter into
this New Covenant relationship with
God through Christ and to be counted
