The Divine blessing Is to come to the
world This explains the blessings
roming to mankind increasingly. This
progress will continue throughout the
Day of Messiah's Kingdom. bringing
blessings not only to the living. but to
the dead: for ''alI that are in their
graves shall hear the voice OF the Son
II God and come forth" All OF Adams
posterity must be given full oppor-
furity to come into harmony with the
creator and to gain everlasting life.

Mankind Not Ready For Blessings.
The Pastor then demonstrated that
God purposes that before Messiah's
Kingdom Is established. humanity
shall learn great lesson respecting
their own fallen condition Instead of
being happier because Of the favors
coming upon the world. mankind are
more discontinued than ever before.
The Scriptures show that this discon-
tent will eliminate in a short. sharp
period of terrible anarchy. from which
the world will be rescued by the es-
adjustment of Messiah's Kingdom.
None shall have the opportunity of
supposing that Gods bless
lngs. coming to unregenerafe hearts.
will make them thankful and happy.
A new heart is necessary to real hap
Diness. II God had permitted the light
md blessings Of our day Thousand
Years ago. then the discomfort of hu-
nanity would have eliminated in an
lrchy thousand years aeo-and be-
lore the Divinely arranged time for
he establishment of the Kingdom.
As we come gradually to realize that
We are living in the dawn Of the long
promised Sabbath Day of EARTH when
he curse OF death shall roll away. It
gives Us new interest in all of LIES
Affairs. The knowledge makes life
