The Church
Continued from last week.
By Wilbur Glenn Voliva

The Fifteenth Verse Of this Twentyfourth Chapter Of
Matthew marks absolutely the middle Of the sevenyear
period and thus shows that the Fourteenth Verse refers
the preaching of the Gospel of KINGDOM by the Jewish
remnant be sealed Immediately after the beginning of
the years. (See Revelation the Seventh Chaper)
When refer Jesus King, have Israel in mind
When refer to Him the Head = the Bridegroom
have the Church in mind.
THE KINGDOM OF THE HEAVENS having been announced
hand the words Eat hand not to be understood
absolute declaration that the thing announced must at
take place. but simply that other thing then matter of
knowledge known have been foreod should to
pass before that which is declared to be at hand takes
Jesus then announced the constitution of KING
DOM. (See Matthew Chapters Five, Six, and Seven.)
When the THEoCRATIC KINGDOM is set up it will be
governed according to the principles therein set forth
THE LEGAL AND SPIRITUAL APPLICATION OF THE SERMON
ON THE MOUNT
The Sermon on the Mount so-caed as it applies to the
THEoCRATIC KINGDOM is LAW. There u.s. however, spirit
application which may be made to the members of the
Body of Christ.
Some of the principles which we this Sermon
restated in the Epses where must go to get teaching
concerning the Church.
You must bear in mind that there Church until
the Day of Pentecos that you do find the word church
in the Gospel of Mark the Gospel of Luke the Gospel of
john that you find the word but twice in the entire Gospel
of MatheWrSt in the Sixteenth Chapter where Jesus
made the prophecy and then in the Eighteenth Chapter
where there antcpatory statement relative to dsc
pline.
THE CORRECT APPLICATION OF THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT
BLESSED the meek for they shall inherit the EARTH
has reference to the Church primarily literally
but only morally or spiritually
BLESSED the poor in spirit; for theirs is KING
DOM OF HEAVEN has reference to the Church-prmar
ly or literally but only morally spiritually.
The reference is to the THEoCRATIC KINGDOM which
will be set up when the Lord back in glory with the
saints the earthly THEoCRATIC KINGDOM, with Jerusalem
the Capital and with the throne of David And the whole
world will have under the dominion Of that KING
DOM.
When THE KINGDOM OF THE HEAVENS is set up then
the Sermon the Mount will be the constitution.
"And in thy seed shall all the nations Of the earth be
blessed =" Genesis 2218)
That will come to pass there is question about it,
The Bible is perfectly plain the whole matter.
Some interesting things will take place when that time
1t will be then that the Gentle nations throughout
the whole world will realize somewhat their wonderful
privileges and blessings under the reign the rule and the
administration of the THEoCRATIC KINGDOM.
After they rejected the King and KINGDOM, in the
last part of the Eleventh Chapter of Matthew Jesus offers
message. 1t is longer the Gospel of KINGDOM
but Jesus offers salvation to INDIVIDUALS.
In the Thirteenth Chapter of Matthew the mysteries Of
ected and postponed exists in mystery and is Christ
