days it was shown that at some fu-
ture time there will be a kingdom of
divine rule that will be a blessing TO
the nations, who remain after all wars
have ended.
Then there will be a peaceful reign
and all nations blessed in Abraham's
seed who is none other than the Lord
Jesus and those who are rulers with
him over the nations, with the twelve
apostles judging the twelve tribes of
Israel in Jerusalem, the city of the
great king. The Lord after he as
cended to the Heavenly Father, ap-
peared to Paul while on his way to Da-
mascus to prosecute the followers of
Christ, and caused him to embrace
the truth and go preach the Gospel
of Christ to the Gentiles.
The incident is recorded in Acts 9th
chapter and is very interesting to
read.
Paul preached the same gospel that
the Lord proclaimed, and in writing
to the Romans he said, "For / am not
ashamed of the Gospel of Christ; for
it is the power of God unto salvation,
to every one that believeth; to the
Jew first, and also to the Gentile."
And all thru Paups ministry we find
him teaching the people to live good
life, believe the gospel and be baptized
into the faith that will constitute
them heirs of the kingdom and the
seed of Abraham as we find written
pei was preached to Abraham, and
in verse Is, he told them the promise
was not to all of Abraham's seed but
to one that was Christ.
So by this promise Paul said they
were constituted heirs of the world as
it is written in Rom. Alb.
And in the days of Christ's ministry
on earth, in his sermon on the Mount
he said, BLESSED are the meek for
they shall inherit the earth. Mat.
5:5.
And Paul in writing to the Coloss-
ians, as we find in ga saying:
"When Christ, who is our life shall
appear, then shall We also appear with
him in glory"
Jesus taught the same gospel as
found written in John 5:25: "Verily,
verify, / say unto you, the hour is
coming and now is, when the dead
shall hear the voice of the Son of
God; and they that hear shall live. "

Also in the 18th chapter of John,
reading from the 25th verse: "Jesus
said unto Martha, / am the resurrec-
ton and the life: he that believeth in
me, though he were dead, yet shall
he live"
This gospel was also believed in the
days of Job as we find him asking a
question in the 18th chapter, in verse
14:15, and it concerns every man
who has desire for eternal life.
eff man die, shall he live again ?
All the days of my appointment time
will 1 wait, till my charge come.
'Thou shalt call, and 1 will answer
thee: thou wilt have a desire to the
work of thy hands"
And Job tells US in chapter 10
reading from verse %, when he look.

state to be resurrected to die tic
more, when his redeemer shall re-
ceiver him in his glory, and these
are Jobs words:
''For l know that my redeemeI
liveth, and that he shall stand at the
latter day upon the earth.
"And though after my skin worms
destroy this body, yet in my flesh
shall / see God.
"Whom I shall see for myself, ant
mine eyes shall behold, and not an.
other; though my veins be consumed
within me-"
So we find the gospel of Christ, the
same that Paul taught, and the testi
mony of Job agrees with them, alsC
it was Gods promise to the Fathers
which Paul said was his hope as we
find written in Acts 1856, z, 8: "AnC
