The Pastor then pointed out from
the first verse OF the parable what
many fail to notice-that the scene ID
laid after the Time Of Trouble, when
Satan shall have been bound, Christ's

General Description Of the Judgment.
The gathering OF the world before
the Throne will be the result Of knowl-
edge. The Time OF Trouble will lead
to great enlightenment, and the knowl-
edge OF Gods glory viii cover the earth
ocean deep. Some will refuse to accept
Christ as their Mediator. and Will not
enter into this Judgment. After one
hundred years OF resistance, these win
be cut off In the Second Death.
Since God Is no respecter Of persons,
Hewil forgive the world when they
tnrn from sin and accept Christ us
their Redeemer. This does not mean
that justice will be ignored. however.
All in the Church the sins or youth
often leave their sting to the end Of
life. SO we may reasonably expect that
stripes, punishments, will follow the
world. From these weaknesses and
frailties humanity viii gradually Be
