General Description Of the Judgment
Day.
The gathering Of the world will be
the result of knowledge. The Time OF
Trouble will lead ON to great enlight'
enment: all the blind eyes will be-
opeued. an the deaf ears unstopped.
and the knowledge Of the glory of God
will I'LL the whole earth us the waters
cover the sea. There will be some.
however. who will resist this knOwl-
I edge and will decline to accept Christ
/ as their Mediator: this class will not
enter into this judgment, but after one
hundred years OF resistance will be de
strOyed.
Those who constitute the two classes
mentioned in the parable. the Pastor
/ declared, are those who have accepted
/ Christ's terms and desire to be on
judgment. or trial. for life everlaSt
ing. This will include all that are in
their graves; they will come forth, not
all ut once. but gradually. Messiah's
Kingdom will exercise its power and
disseminate the knowledge Of God and
OF the principles Of righteousness, with
a view TO encouraging, helping and up.
lifting all the willing and Obedicnt.
All such may arise gradually out OF
sin and death cOnditiOnS-up out OF
lmperfection Of mind and body. up
out of immoral cOnduct-tO the full
image OF Cod ms possessed by Father
Adam in the beginning.
The entire Millcnnal Age will be re.
quired to bring this about. Righteous
ness will reign then. as Sin reignS
now; that is 10 say. righteousness will
be in the ascendency, in the control
Then whoever sins will suffer prompt
ly. Hence all mankind will avoid sin:
and the world in general will he Il

stroy"; "the inhabitant shall not say

ually rolled away. and there shall be
no more crying, no more signing, no
more dying; the blessing OF God will
prevail, bringing perfection. Surely it
will be a happy Day for humanity:
and all who live throughout the thou.
sand years will receive great blessing.
Importance of Right Heart Condition.
The Pastor then discussed the sub.
ject of punishment for sins committed
in this life.,. He showed that 1t will be
equally as just for God to forgive the
sins OF the world for ChriSts sake as
it has been just for Him to forgive The
sins of the Church for Chrst's sake.
II the one is just. so will be the other:
for God is no respecter of persons, and
is equally as willing to forgive the
sins of the world MS the sins Of the
Church, when the world repents and
turns from sin, accepting Christ as
their Rcdcemer
This does not mean. however. that
justice will he ignored. In the case of
the Church. the sins of youth often
leave their scar and sting to the eud
of life; and so we may reasonably as
sumo that certain stripes. or punish.
meuts, will lie permitted to FOllOw the
world in Just the same manner. 1t will
be from these weaknesses and frailties
that they will be gradually raised up
, to perfection during the blessed thou
sand years Of Christ'S Kingdom, when
Satan will be bound and unable to Ge,
ceive any one.
Some may reason that If conformity
to the Divine Law in an outward way
\ will bring blessings to all. there still
: may be an inward difference between
people, some coming heartily into nc
D cord with the Father, and other:
merely assuming an appearance of har
mony because this harmony will be tn,
5 way to perfection. Undoubtedly thi
l. reasoning is correct. 1t is along th
l. very line that the parable under con
