"Aunt Belle" last week, hope yoT
! will kindly publish this this week.
/. In one article she writes of send
of time, which literally means end
of time, and all time things, and theI
next says it means lend of gentle
times" which is contradiction Of
terms, for following reasons.
~ Time in former is singular.
while in latter they are plural ami SO
both cannot mean one and same thing.
same time icy The word, FULFILLED"
in "times Of Gentiles be fulfilled, "
does not mean "end" in any sense. If
l fill vessel with water that does not
end either the vessel nor the water,
and so of fulfilling "times," of 3en-
tiles, God nowhere says they shall
end NOR their "times" That is only
ignorant Russellism gone to seed, and
| will breed more ignorance.
2. The Bible nowhere says: "That
the earth endureth forever and shall
be inhabited, as "Bele" so falsely
and Russellistically says. True, by a
INSTRUMENTATION, Eccl. "a, is made to
say: "But the earth abideth forever, +"
which is in direct contradiction of
Gods own word "For fire is kind
led in mine anger, and shall burn I'M
| to the lowest hell, and shall consume
the earth with her increase, and set
on fire the foundation of the noun
tains." (Deut 32:22). 1t also con-
tradicts Q Pet. $40, which says: "The
earth also and the works that are
therein shall be burned up." and IL
the earth is consumed" and 'burn-
ed up" we know it won't even ga
bide The Hebrew word Solomon
| there used is ''ama1," and it also has
the meaning Of "ceaseth, and in this
sense did Solomon use it, as that is in
harmony with above cited Scriptures;
and the context shows that to be true.
and this word, as many others do, de-
ponds on the context for its intended
meaning So when the earth ceaseth
we know it will SO remain. never to
return again.
3. The Bible nowhere says: "When
the kingdom was taken from the Jews
the gentle Kingdoms were to rule the
world until Christ should come to es
tablish His kingdom. Then God says:
81 will give it to Him whose right it
is" a. "Belle" 80 falsely and Rus
sellitishly says But it does say:
"The Sceptre shall not depart from
judah, nor lawgiver from between
his feet, until Shiloh come, and unto
Him shall tbs gathering of the people
be y Gen (47:10), which refers to
Christ and His first coming, aud it
shows that the sceptre passed direct
from Judah to Jesus. OF this same
kingdom God says: "Thus saith the
Lold God: Remove the diadem,
and take off the crown: this shall not
be the same: exalt him that is low,
and abase him that Is high, will
overturn, overturn, overturn it: and
1t shall be no more, until he come
whose right it is, aud will give iC to
him" (Ezekial 81 :26 27) and 1 am
sure this refers to judah anu to Jesus
at His first coming, and He took the
kingdom then which God had three
times overturned, and Christ did not
establish His kingdom at all. for God

wrong again, and is only "Hell bent

4. Yes. Paul plainly sets forth
"eternal torment" in these words:
"If any man love not lin present |

be future tense) anathema maran-
tha." Il Cor 1922 That is, cal
ways be devoted to evil. Rccursed, a
person separated or excluded from the |
divine favor, and obnoxious to the d. |
rest punishments, to curse, bind by a |
curse" when the Lord cometh or |
comes. This binding of them to the |
eternal curse and direct punishment,
am sure shows eternal torment, for
only thus could it be direst, and it
was written and advocated by Paul as
a part of the gospel aud counsel of
God No man can advocate "eternal
torment" stronger than Paul did right
here, for he did it for ali peoples who
love not the Lord Jesus Christ, inclui.
ing himself and all his kinfolks.
