sures us that the Father will put al
things into subsection to the Son, FOL
the very work Of blessing and assisting
the world Of mankind for whom liz
died. Then the Son will deliver up the
Kingdom authority to the Father, that
Jehovah may be All and in ALL" But
during the thousand years, absolute
control Of the world will be in the
hands Of the Great Messiah, who will
put down all things opposed to the Di.
vine will, and lift up the willing and
obediont from sin, degradation and the
tomb.
st. Peter tells US that at the Second
Coming Of Jesus Divine blessings will
be showered upon the earth-"T Times Of
Refreshing shall come from the pres.
ence Of the Lord; and lie shall send
Jesus Christ" He tells US that the
heavens will retain Jesus until the
Restitution Times, Of which God has
been telling us through the mouth Of
all His holy Prophets since the world
began,"-Acts III, 1921,
The Second Adams Children.
The Bible teaches that Jesus Is the
Second Adam. The first Adam had the
privilege Of being the father Of n hui
man race, I'm the image and likeness Of
God and blessed with everlasting life,
TO enjoy worldwide Paradise. All
this Adam lost by disobedlence and
came under Divine sentence Of death,
called In the Scriptures the "curse,"
lie cannot eXtricate himself, and there
fore cannot extrlcate his children from
this calamity. Neither can any Of his
children get free from the curse, nor
give to God n ransom for his fellows.
Jesus left the glory which He had
with the Father, and came into the
world n Man. He did not become a
sinful man, On the contrary, the
Scriptures tell US that "Ihe Man
Christ Jesus" was "holy, harmless, UNI
denlod and separate from sinners"
He had the right to produce human
race as instead Of Adams race; but
this was not the Fathers Plan. In
stead of starting another race, Jesus
gave His life sacrlGclally. In Gods
due time this sacrifice will be made
applicable to cancel all the claims Of
Justice against mankind on account Of
original sin
In harmony with the Fathers Plan,
Jesus purposes that as the Second
Adam IIo will take over the Adamic
race, and adopt as many Of them ns
may be willing as His own family.
This, In the Bible, Is called "Regenera-
ton" Regeneration means to generate
life again. Jesus hns the right to give
life to Adam and to his race, having
purchased that right with the sacrl-
fee Of His own life, He died, the Just
one for the unjust, and all the rights
which He had to an earthly life He
may therefore give Justly to Adam and
to ms many Of Adums children as will
accept II.
The process Of this regeneration will
be very different from the process Of
the FIRST generation. The life which will
come to mankind viii come through
the Word "My words are spirit
and are life" Whoever win hcarken
to the words Of the great Llre.giyer
win thereby receive the new life. nj
His words work in them "to viii and
to do" in harmony with the laws Of the
Kingdom, they with gradually rise out
Of their weaknesses and lmpcrrcctions,
to perfection Of human nature
