(Co.tiased from last week.
And at the end of the sixth day
II is written, "Thus the heavens and
the earth were finished, - n ~
Asse q tAsa-" Nothing remained un
finished in ths& 1rsss.A ~ IN ~
fseass - esAa. in the plan and purpose
Of God; for the word of God vas there
sown. and the purpose signified in the
nature of everything made to estat-
ish the full purpose of God, as written
by the Prophet, "Thus saith the Lord
tlat created the heavens; God himself
that formed the earth and made it:
hath established it; He created it not
in vain, He formed it to be inhabit
ed' tby His own good and faithful
children. Isaiah 45.
And he says again, $50 shall Ny
word be that gOeth forth out of Ny
mouth: II shall not return u.te Ne
void; but Il shall accoapltsh that
which ! please, and it shall Droapsr in
the thing whersto I ssn& IL" So it
is written, "Thus the heavens, and
the earth were finished and al tho
host Of them. And on the seventh day
God ended His work which He had
made and He rested on the seventh
day and sanctified it, Now this
rest day, the seventh day of Gods ere
alton, like Gods work in the other
six, signifies the purpose of God in
the seventh age of the world to make
it an age Of rest and peace without
any disturbing forces to influence OF
disturb the peace of God and His fam
lily Of light. Gods resting on the
seventh day was given for a sign, and
hundreds Of years passed after that
day and nothing more said about the
day Of rest until Moses wrote the
law; and thus the Sabbath day com.
mandment was written about $500
years after the seventh day and like
the other ordinances Of the law, vas
given for sign to the people Of Col,
Of the Lords purpose in sanetifying
then for His kindom in the age of
rest. God establishes this truth by the
mouth Of Ezekiel, saying, "I gavs then
ny Sabbashs 70 b sign bstvssn Ne
anA then that thsy might knew that
I an tAs Lord that sanity them" (for
His Kingdom.
And after the Lord rested and sane
titled the seventh day then He sald
Of the seven days containing all that
He had created and made. "1hsss are
IT, gsnsra4feas of the heavens, and of
the earth, when they were created, in
the day that the Lord God made the
earth and the heavens, and every plant
of the field before It was the earth,
and every herb of the field before it
grew" These words are enough to
establish the fact that all Of the gener.
ations Of God were established in His
creation to fulfill His every and COM
plete purpose in the very beginning as
God Himself has said, "Who hath
wrought and done it, calling ~ gen
ssasaeu frsa ~ Sssta1tas1 the
Lord, the first and with the last; I
am He" Isaiah II.
The eenerations all to come out Of
Adam were classified as tws, namely:
"The genefations Of the hsavsas; and
Of the earth" signifying both the
good aad the evil.
Thus we learn that in seven days
from the time in which the Spirit Of
God moved upon the face of the wa
ters in q world without form and void,
= vegetable kingdom; q paradise, had
been created and made, all moving
life and vigor, whose life was the Word
of God. 1t was a beautiful globe
Eden, and on its surface full and com-
plete, grew every tree that is pleas
and to the sight; and good for food. y
Two classes of trees grew there in
"the Garden of God' which covered
the whole earth, one class noted for its
height and beauty; and the other par
ticularly noted for its fruit bearing
qualities, and there in the midst was
"The Tree of Life, and the tree of
knowledge of good and evil (the life
and the law represented). Rom. Z, 9,
10.
The Garden of God in Eden had its
representative trees, s:gnifying every
ruler and king and their kingdoms of
tho ages to come afterward. The
height, beauty, proportion and grand
