Him, then shall He sit upon the Throne
of His glory" Matthew 25:31.) He
said:
When six thousand years ago man
transgressed the Divine command and
came under the sentence, Dying, thou
shalt die" he was cast out of Eden,
that In the unprepared earth he might
pay the death penalty, with labor and
sweat Of face going down to the tomb.
Even then, In the declaration that the
Seed of the woman would eventually
bruise the serpent's head, God implied
an ultimate victory for humanity, over
Satan and sin and its death penalty.
Later, Gods Covenant with Abraham
told that the victory would come
through his posterity, but still did not
explain how Centuries later, Abra-
hams favored posterity became the
Jewish nation, and came into covenant
relationship with God through Moses,
the mediator of the Law Covenant.
Their hope was that they could 30 thor
oughly keep Gods Law as to merit
everlasting life; and that learning how
to practise this self-control, and gain
the victory over sin, they would be
competent to teach all nations, and TO
deliver mankind from sin and death.
However. centuries of effort proved
that none were able to keep the Divine
Law satisfactorily; for all continued
to die.
The next Divine lesson was one Of
faith in God Israel could not keep
the Law Covenant satisfactorily-could
not. therefore. have everlasting life.
Hence they could not teach others to
do what they could not do. The les
son of faith was that they should look
forward to a coming Messiah, "a
Prince and a Savior" Through Him
all the promises would be fulfilled
For centuries they waited for Him,
and sought to apply Moses words: "a
Prophet shall the Lord your God raise
up unto you from amongst your breth-
rem. like unto me 1.-THE antique Of
Mosesl; Him shall ye hear In all
things whatsoever He shall say unto
you. And every soul which
will not hear that Prophet, shall be
destroyed from among the people,

Various were the hopes and imagin-
ings respecting Messiah. He was to
be the antitype of both David and Sol

chizedek-very great He was to reign
from sea to sea- psalm 72:8) Ulti-
mately, so successful would be His
reign that the knowledge of the Lord
should I'LL the whole earth. as the wa
tiers cover the deep. Habakkuk 2:14D
Not only Israel would be blessed by
Him, but all nations. peoples, kindreds
and tongues. Unto Him every knee
would bow and every tongue con-
fess. to the glory Of God.-Philippians
2:1O, II.
The hearts of Israel looked forward
with pride to that day when Messiah
would exalt them very highly in the
earth and associate them with Himself
In the ruling and blessing of all people
All they thought. the Inauguration day
