Of ignorance. error and sin. and set
humanity free from the slavery Of sin
and death, under which 1t has rested
for six thousand years. God sent Jesus
to die for the world nearly two thou

deal with the world. And that long
period of nearly two thousand years
has since been devoted to the calling
out of the Church, to be the Bride OF
Christ. the Joint-heir. in His Kingdom.
This Church is described as q Little
Flock, a sanity few. who through much
tribulation are walking in the footsteps
Of the Redeemer, and ultimately Will

great Plan for blessing and restoring
mankind to human perfection and
earthly Eden.-Acts S:19-21. With the
dawning of the New Dispensation of
Messiah's Kingdom, the true light OF
the knowledge OF the glory Of Gods
character will shine everywhere. 'All
the blind eyes shall be opened and all
the deaf ears shall be unstopped."
