Q.-The Bible tells US that Noah took
into the ark some of all kinds of the
wild animals. Did God miraculously
cause these wild beasts to go into the
ark, or in what manner did Noah get
them it?
Answer-The Bible does not give
direct answer to this question, but into
an indirect way it does show us how
Noah could get the wild animals in
the ark. The 8th Psalm describes the
perfect man as king over all earthly
things. Adam was created a perfect
man and God gave him dominion or
control over all the wild beasts of the
field. (See Genesis 1, 1929. He caused
these to pass before Adam that Adam
might name them Genesis 2, 19). The
animal creation was subject to the per-
feet man Adam, not along the line of
force. but because of his mental power
and domination. When Adam sinned
and was driven from Eden he began to
lose this power, and it is quite reason
able that the more man became de-
graded the less power of control he
possessed over the animals. Noah was
not a perfect man, because the child of
Adam, but undoubtedly he possessed
much more power than man of this
day possesses, and this power would
enable him to control in large meas
ure, the animals. Even in this day we
note such power in horse trainers, and
trainers of wild beasts, who control
such animals partly by force and part
ly by will power, which we can now
but imperfectly understand.
Owe read in the Scriptures,
"Then shall the desire of all nations
by 1.-The desire of all nations?" When
will It come?
AnSwer.-An nations, all peoples,
desire happiness and prosperity. I'm
der the present reign of sin and death,
the course of nature is irregular. Of
ten evil prospers and righteousness
suffers; hence, mankind is bewildered
and many do things that they would
prefer not to do, because of their de-
sire for joy and peace and comfort,
and because they hope that the
wrongdoing will bring them these
blessings. In a word, we believe that
the majority Of humanity would prefer
to do the right rather than to do
wrong, if there were as great or great
er blessings resulting from right-do-
ing. When Christ's Kingdom is estab-
lished in the world and every good
deed shall receive its just recompense
of reward and every evil deed shall
receive it's proper punishment, the
world will learn to appreciate and to
prefer righteousness to unrighteous-
ness. Thus it is written that when the
judgments of the Lord are in the
earth, the inhabitants of the world
will learn righteousness Usaiah 26:9).
Under the new regime the Divine
blessings will be poured out upon all
flesh: 1.-The glory of the Lord shall be
revealed and all flesh shall see it to-
gether: for the mouth of the Lord hath
spoken it,
