III His promises In due time
The Church, the Elect, are indeed the
Spiritual Seed Of Abraham. This class
as the Bride Of Christ, must be com
pleted and must be united to their Re
deemer by the change OF the First Res
direction before they will be qualified
to share with Him the great work OF
blessing the Natural Seed OF Abraham.
Galatians IS 10, 20.
The completion and glorihcation OF
the Church will mark the time for the
establishment OF the Messianic King
dom. Then will begin the pouring out
Of the Divine blessing and the removal
Of the curse Satan will be bound for
a thousand years. The knowledge Of
God will gradually fill the whole earth.
The Natural Seed OF Abraham will be
the first to receive the Restitution
blessings-to return TO the image and
likeness Of God In the flesh and to
have returned to them Paradise condi-
lions and Divine favor The ancient
sanity ones Of the Jewish race, we are
assured, shall be made princes In all
! the earth for the correction OF their
| brethren, Natural Israel, and for the
instruction and assistance OF the peo-
pie Of every nation, kindred and
tongue-the living and the dead.

Of God will ill the whole earth. Cor
rections in righteousness will be meted
out to all not doing their very best to
come into harmony with the Divine
Law. Blessed rewards Of increasing
perfection OF mind and body will grad |
ually come to the willing and obedient
In that Day. The wilful evil-doers
shall be cut off in the Second Death. |
Then, as a result. before the thousand |
years Of Messiah's Kingdom shall ex
pire, every knee shall bow, to the glory
of God.
Meantime, also, the blessings of Par
adise will be coming to the earth as a
whole. God will make the place OF
His feet glorious isaiah G013; 661J
Jesus will see OF the travail of His
soul and be satisfied. isaiah 1910,
IL All those who have suffered for
righteousness sake during the reign OF
Sin and Death will be more than com.
pensated therefor In the blessings and
joys Of the New Dispensation. The
knowledge OF the glory Of God shall
oil the whole earth. The glorious Di.
vine character will be made manifest,
not only to angels, but to men. The
ininitude OF Gods Love, Justice, Wis
dom and Power may then be seen by
all; whereas today, under the reign or
Sin and Death, with minds beclouded
by the errors instilled by the Prince
OF Darkness, the opposite condition
darkness-covers the earth, and gross
darkness the heather.
What a glorious consummation Is be
fore us What lengths and breadths
of human possibility In perfection we
see with the eye of faith! Man was
made in the image and likeness OF his
Creator, and the earth was provided
to be his everlasting home. The curse
king has brought both to angels and
to men valuable lessons, which per
haps could not have been learned un-
der any other process OF instruction.
The result will be glorious, as de-
scribed by the Master Himself. There ]
shall be no more signing, no more |
curse there, nor sorrow nor pain nor
any more dying; for all the things OF
sin and death will have passed away
He who sits upon the Throne will
make all things new. - Revelation .
