Now the question is did this

Yes Christ went and preached
to the spirits in prison, and this
was when the dead in the graves
heard his voice and come forth,
as we have quoted, and here
quote again, please read:
Marvel not AZ this for the hour is coming in
tho which al that are in the graves shall hear
bis voice.
Ana shalt come forth; they thA; uavc done
good unto the resurrection of life aud they
that have done evil unto The resurrection o.
damnation. st. John. 1-!s 70
When this come to pass. it is re-
corded in this manner:
And the graves were opened and n,auy bodies
Of the saint which slept arose
And came out OF tho graves after his rcsarrcc.
ton and went INTO the holy city and appeared
unto many. Matt. IL s., 81
At this time Christ was the
first to rise from the dead, was
the iirstborn among many breth-
rem. And now by prophesy we
confirm all this, please read;
Thy lead men shall live together with my dead
body shall they arise Awake and sin@ ye
that dwell III dust for thy dew is as the dew of
herb, and the earth shall cast ont the dead.
Isa III 10
When Christ rose from the
dead, u whole Gentile nation was
born at once. Christ was the
1lrst to rise from the dead. This
Gentle people who had been
without Christ, God, or hope in
the world was now made a new
creature in him, and it was this
people that those Jews like the
twelve apostles and Paul were the
ores of the Jews that had been
baptized for those Gentiles. And
this birth OF the Gentle nation is
the ones that Panl was talking d.
bout in l Cor. Is Oh. For the
lsraelltes to. believe III Paul's
day that the Gentiles had been
resurrected from the dead, was
O. fact called in question and one
that Paul was preaching on.
For some of them said that
there was no resurrection of the
dead, as Paul said:
Now IL CLsist be preached that he rose from
the dead how say rome among you that there
is no resurrection Of the dead? Cor. Is II
And in order to leave with
them a convincing record that
the dead Gentle nation did rise
from the dead, he went on to
saw:
And if Christ be not raised your faith is vain
yo arc yet in your Sins
Then they also which are fallen asleep in
Christ are persisted.
If in this life only We have hope In Christ
Wcare OF all men most miserable,
But now is hrist risen from the dead and
become the tirstrruits of them that slept.
Cor. IL II Is 49, 20
Then after he had given them
those facts above. He further
said:
For since by man came death by man came
alao the res direction of the dead.
For US in Adam all die even so in Christ shall
all be made alive.
But every man in his own order: Christ the
tirstfruts afterward they that are Christ's at
his ceming. Cor. Is II ~ y
Here Paul plainly sets forth
two people. The one class were
dead, the other alive. The one
class were brought under death,
by Adams transgression. the
other class brought to life thru
Christ's obedience, that is,
through Adams transgression
death passed on all men, and by

made alive. Or in other words
through Adams transgression
death passed on all his decen-
