NEBUCHADNEzzAR AND THE
GREAT WHITE BEAR
Or What will Come to Pass in the
Latter Days
VII.)

Not the destroying OF CnIS pAdASC
we dwell on, and Gods dwelling place
as a great many may suppose, but
when we prove scripture by scripture
we find the heavens spoken of in this
sense as a ruling power and the earth
as the people who are ruled over.
At the present the people are rul-i
ed by mortal man, but the new ruI- /
ing power will be by those who po-
sess the divine nature, having been
changed from mortal to immortal, be-
ing made like the angels and cannot
die anymore.
Moses in speaking to the rulers and
to the people who we're ruled over,
called them the heavens and the earth
as we find in Deut. 32:1, "Give ear
o We heavens, and will speak; and
hear o earth, the words of my
mouth
And we find by reading the rest of
the chapter plenty of proof that
Moses was not speaking to the plant
ct we dwell on, neither has 1t any
power to hear.
Also we find in End Peter 3:6; he re-
fers to the flood saying saying
ssWhereby the world that then was, be-
ing overflowed with water persisted"
And then he goes on to tell us of
a day of judgement when the heay-
ems and earth that are now shall pass
away, Cor the ruling power which rs
/
who are ruled over being the earth.
In the 7th verse he says, "But the
heavens and the earth, which are now,
by the same word are kept in store,
reserved unto fire against the day OF
judgement and perdition of ungodly
men,"
The same word that warned those
who persisted in the flood Peter said
has warned US against the judgement
day of Christ.
The tenth verse reads, "But the day
of the Lord will come as a thief in the
night; in which the heavens shall pas!
away with a great noise, and the ele
ments shall melt with fervent heat
, the earth also and the works that ar
: therein shall be burned up"
Verse 13, Nevertheless we, accord
: ing to his promise look for new heav
:. ems and a new earth, wherein dwelletl
righteousness"
When Christ rules on David's thron
he will in righteousness and the ma
:, lions being brought into the knowl
edge of the Truth as it is in Chris
Jesus will become new people.
Paul in writing to the Corinthian
le Cor. SIT, said Therefore if an
% man be in Christ he is a new crea
le ture; old things are passed away; be
Is hold all things are become new"
y A person is either in Christ c
s Adam; there is no halfway about i
70 In 1st Cor. 1922 Paul told them, "FC
: as in Adam all die, even so in Chris
al shall all be made alive"
n We are all born of Adams fami
+ and the sentence put on him W.
e. death when he disobeyed Gods law
% therefore all of his posterity are boz
y of sin and Paul said the wages of s
Up is death in Rom 6:3, "For the wag
of sin is death; but the gift of G.
is eternal life through Jesus Chri
= our Lord.
90 Paul tells US if we remain in Ada
:" we die; but if we would have etern
u life we must get out of the Ada
&c family into Christ, being adopted
"9 to the Abrahamic family and becoI
ii0 an heir with them of Gods promis'
We find in Gal. 1927 Paul tells
- how we are to become an heir w
"-e Christ in the kingdom that he will I
tablish on this earth as it reads, ST
as many of you as have been be
- tized into Christ have put on Chri
'There is neither Jew nor Gre
there is neither bond nor free, thu
u is neither male nor female; for
- are all one in Christ Jesus.
- "And if We be Christ's then are
Abraham's seed and heirs accord
to promise"
So we find by these passages, il
person believes the gospel of CHI
and is baptized in that belief they
"a no longer children of Adam but
~ come adopted children of God, ;
- heirs with Abraham and Christ WI
az the kingdoms of this world are to
80 come the kingdom of ur Lord and
Christ. Rev. 11:15.
Again we have the assurance
,ob there is to be a new ruling po'
lor which is termed heaven and !
4ha earth; for the first heaven and
; i first earth were passed away; and
his sea was no more.
