solute authority. There is no such
thing as limited monarchy, much less
democracy, about the kingShip OF
this Coming One. He will be no
mere tigureheau, as some OF the
kings of our day. The second
chapter of this prophet Isaiah declares
he will Judge between the nations All
international questions will in his day
be referred to him and from his deei-
Sions there will be no appeal This is
in accord with the ancient idea of
! kingship, but with the difference that
where other kings We're sub iect to err
r0r and made mistakes there will be
no errors or mistakes in the exercise
/ OF authority by the Prince OF Peace.
Ruling in the supreme authority given
him by God and ruling with the glory
Of God as the one motive of all his
acts. there will come under this beneti-
cent king the full bleSSeineSS on earth
for which man has waited SO long
l!.-He will have supreme power.
There have been and there are today
kings who have authority but lack the
power to exercise ii. This Coming
One will have all power for the full
and proper exercise OF his authority.
None will be able to turn him aside
! from his DEGREES, nor Will any be able
/ TO make his DEGREES null and void
/ Even some who will be disposed to re-
! sent his authority will, because OF his
! power, bow to his DEGREES. RIAing as
he will, wholly for the glory oS God
means that all selfish exercise of pow
er Will be done away, and those who
would feather their own nests by op-
preston will find their occupation
gone. This would cause war 81, be.
heard were it not that this Ruler has
all power TO enforce his DEGREES As
I all his deereeS are calculated to- bring
supreme blessing to all men it is little
wonder that his coming is awaited by
many with esfgernesS and delighS.
lli.-He will provide certain pyotec-
ton. The ancient king was charged
with the guardianship Of his people,
who looked to him to guard them from
their enemies. This Coming King will
afford such protection for his own that
none will make them afraid, but al
will dwell III security and peace. Ii
his day every man will dwell under
his own vine and tig tree, no oppreS
sion of the weak will be found, ant
p no unfair advantage whereby one ma!
grow rich ut the expense of anothe
q will be allowed throughout the world
Man will then have a chance to com
to his full development, with no fea
of sudden destruction of himself or o
his plans. There Will be protectio
from wars and rumors of war, protet
ton from the criminal and the lawles'
and protection from all evil save onl
that which individual men and wome
Will desire to carry within themselve
Certain protection will be afforded b
the unlimited power and absolute a
thority Of the Coming King again
all the Vaccinations of evil and II
righteousness of men.
lV.-He will bring full provision f
his people. The ancient king w
looked to by his people to provide {
=, necessary provision, and his people
pi, needs were his sacred charge. Like
;, father he was supposed to provide f
his own people as though they we
80 his children. SO this One who is co
ing will provide for his own all thin
g. required to make contentment the r,
no throughout the world. In his reign
I,
ed. derness will blossom as the rose a
ite. the dry lands will become fruit
IN. fields. The cry of hunger will me-
~, be heard and famine will only be
y.ns membered as d nightmare of days ge
bottle by. With fullneSs of bread there '
be the full knowledge of the Lord,
~, his knowledge will cover the earth
- the waters cover the sea.
