understand the first coming and the second coming.
THE Two PHASES OF THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
In numerous places we find prophecies referring only
Ito His first coming; in other places find prophecies
referring only to His second coming back to this earth with
the saints in glory and to the establishment of the earthly
Israesh THEoCRATC KINGDOM and the beginning of the
Mlennial reign.
Bear in mind that there to be two distinct phases
lof the Second Coming Of Christ He at the begin
ming of the Seven daniels Seventeen weekly for the
saints and then at the end of the Seven Years with the
saints in glory.

COUNSELLOR; there others who want to put the word

Kingdom to order it, and to establish it with judgment and
with justice from henceforh for The zeal of the
Lord of hosts will perform this"
That has more reference primarily to the Church
than something wrote when [ in the primary grade
in the country school, It refers to the THEoCRATC KING
DOM, and it will be literally fulfilled when the KINGDOM is
set up and established at the beginning of the Mennial
reign

We believe in the incarnation.
How it that Jesus begotten in the womb of the
siness Virgin of the Holy Ghost she being overshadowed
by the power of the Most High is beyond coprehen
sion. 1t is true nevertheless.
He Who was God became ncarnate in the flesh He
was born of Virgin, in Bethlehem of Judea, in accord
ance with prophecy.
The fact that many of these wonderful prophecies have
been literally fulfilled and have become matter of
history makes it and certain that whatever yet
mains in the way of prophecy will at the proper time, be
fulfilled and in like manner pass into history
1t will interest you to know that there than
two hundred be found in the Bible applicable to
Him Who sent into this world and in Whom believe

Each one of these names presents aspect of His
Person or mission God would have understand His
