constitute the earthly phase of the
Kingdom, In that they will represent
the invisible Heavenly Kingdom.
How ths Blessing VIII Come.
The Pastor then gave an outline of
arrangements In the Kingdom OF Mes

In all the earth" as Psalm As sets
forth. When the Kingdom Is set up,
Gods blessings will first go to all "Is.
raelites indeed" The first representa-
tives Will be the Ancient Worthless,
with whom the speaker thinks all the
promised earthly blessings will rest az
representatives Of Messiah on earth.
Only by coming into relationship with
this company will any get the full
blessing Of the Millennial Kingdom.
The Pastor illustrated in the case Of
the United States. There are certain
privileges and blessings to be secured
by getting citizenship here; and as a
result people flock here from every
where and become citizens. in order
that they may enjoy these blessings
and privileges. This, he declared. Is ex-
actly the picture given In the Scrip
lures. In the future all the world will
press for citizenship in the nation Of
Israel. The terms Of citizenship there
will be full Observation-Disclosures Of
sin, conservation to God, faith and
trust in Him, and loyalty and obedi-
ence to the great Messianic Kingdom.
The Pastor thinks that the Jews will
be the first people to come into the
Kingdom, for the reason that the offer
to mankind will be more in line with
what that people have been expecting
for many centuries. The Promise was
made to their ancestor Abraham about
four thousand years ago that In his
Seed all the families of the earth
should be blessed. The Jew still has it
In mind. the Pastor believes. that
somehow Messiah and His Kingdom
are coming, and that the blessing Of
Abraham Is yet to come.
The Jew does not know what to
make Of all that has been going on for
the past eighteen hundred years, the
speaker declared. He has been greatly
puzzled to know why Lazarus should
ON as Abraham's child, and why be-
himself should seemingly be rejected,
outcast and In trouble; but soon his
eyes will be opened. At the proper
moment God will pour upon Israel the
spirit Of prayer and supplication, and
they shall look upon Him whom they
pierced, as the Prophet zechariah fore
told. (Zechariah 12:1o.) Then they
will begin to see something Of Gods
great M~ystery-that It was necessary
that mankind be redeemed before they
could be restored. They will begin to
get the key to the Divine Plan. which
rests upon the Cross OF Christ
The next class to come into line with
the Kingdom, the Pastor thinks, will
be a class OF Christian people that
have been considerably misled and
confused. AS soon as these begin to
get their eyes open a little, they will
perceive that others have understood
the Scriptures better than they have,
and then they will begin to study. The
Bible intimates that this will be their
~course-that the foolish virgins will
get the oil and will finally come into
harmony with God. Gradually the
Message will spread until all nations
will realize that the Kingdom Of God
has been established. and that by be-
coming Israelites they will get the
blessings. To support this somewhat

ed several prophecies, among which
was Zechariah 14:16-21.
The speaker believes that by the end
of the Millennial Age all evil-doers will
have been destroyed and all the re-
mainder of mankind will have become
Abraham's seed-a great numbeg,
which no man can estimate. Then will
come a trial to determine who are loyal
at heart. Having demonstrated that
they could be loyal during the favorable
conditions of Christ's Messianic King

mankind will then be tried to see
whether they will do right when left
to themselves and the Kingdom with

while. Then there will be opportunity
for sin TO prevail. The race OF Adam.
then perfect human beings, will be
tested In order to determine whether
they really love God and whether they
are loyal to the principles Of righteous
ness. Those who are found to be dis
loyal to truth and righteousness and
God will be destroyed from amongst
the people.-Acts 3:23; 2 Peter 2:12.
In concluding his discourse. the Pas
cor declared that as the test at the end
Of the Millennial Age will be loyalty,
even so this is the test upon Christian
people today. The Lord desires not

hut these who love to do right and hate
