AlRASlQR MSSElL)i By way Of intro
duction to hi
theme, the Pastor declared that per
ift1ps there had never been a time whel
h Erofessed followers Of Jesus beIiev
'ed less in the resurrection of the deaf
than at present. This shows n gren
falling away from ''the faith once de
itivered to the saints; for the resurrcc
ton is the great hope which the Bib,
sets before mankind.
Hale speaker cited Scriptures to prove
That death is the penalty Of sin-tht
curse upon the IA because Of Adams
sdtsobedience in Eden. Gods declara.
ton that at so1ne future time the Seed
of the woman should bruise the ser,
speat's head was the only ray Of hope
given for 1900 years after sin had en-,
tered the world Then God made an.
other statement and Of His purpose to
bless mankind. To Abraham particu.
2aarly He made known His purpose to
bless the whole world.
The Pastor reminded his hearers that
God not only made a Covenant Will,
Abraham, but confirmed His Promise
with an Oath, to prove the certainty
OF the whole matter. The Covenant
was, Tin thy Seed shall. all the FAM.
ales OF the earth be blessed Abraham
saw into the future with the eve OF
Gath, the speaker asserted. He saw
The Christ of glory and tile Reign OF
righteousness. and under it the recoy.
cry Of the human family from degrada.
tion, sin and death. He discerned that
there would be a resurrection Of the
~'dead7-not merely an awakening to the
condition in which they fell asleep. but
g raising UP to the full perfection oil
Gods image and likeness, from which
they fell through Adams d%isobedience
The Law Covenant and Shadow.
II The Pastor then discussed Abraham's
Uosterity-fhe Israelites, God permit.
ted them to become bondsmen in
Eggpt. Then He brought them up to
Mount Sinai. where He entered Into
Q Covenant with them through Moses
as mediator, and promised that Ii they
would keep Els Law perfectly He
would use them to bless all mankind.
The speaker then explained that God
had q double purpose In entering info
this Covenant with Israel:
I'd II demonstrated that mankind
were sinners md could not keep Gods
perfect Law, which Is the measure OF
a perfect mans ability; hence no man
is entitled To eternal life; for God viii
give that life only to the perfect.
N Another object, an important one,
was fSEat the Law Covenant was typ.
lical ana pointed forward to glorious
antitypes, which would bring In the
real BLESSINGS.
i Ths Antiques Far Superior.
glsbs Pastor showed that the Law
covenant itself typiied a future New
EMw Covenant, to be in operation for
all mankind during the Messianic King
dom. lis Mediator will be The Christ
Jesus the Head and the Church the
Body. Az the typical Law Covenant
was inaugnrated BIZ the sacrifice OF
bulls and goats, SO the antltypica1 Law
Covenant Will be inaugurated upon ths
basis OF better sacrifices" than these.
AS the typical Covenant had Its Day
OF A~tonennent, so the antitypical Cove
nant Will have q much greater Atone
tnent Day.
Continuing his explanation, the Pas.
for demonstrated from Scripture that
Che offering of the better sacrifices
takes place during the early part of
the a~ntitypical Atonement Day. which
began eighteen hundred years ago and

Offering was that or Jesus, finished nt
Calvary His secondary offerings. as
our greaf High Priest, have continued
eyer since. During this period He has
