A BRIEF SKETCH OF THE DIVINE PLAN!

uoON uol HlcdH lldl all VINO are not
elected must spend eternity in ever
lasting punishment. Unfortunately,
The majority of the preachers have
I bceli and are yet maintaining this
unScriptorial theory--that all must
| be elected to go to Heaven during
thus Gospel age or spend eternity IN
Lake of Fire and Birthstone. They
have attempted to apply the scrip
lural rules governing the election
OF the little flock to the world of
mankind in general, hence, we note
The muddle and great misunder-
standing. You can not make the
Bible statements fit in Gods great
/ plan unless YOU place them where
I they belong.
| During this Gospel Age the Lord
( has not been dealing with any one
Dut those who have entered the race
/ fol the Great prize. lie is onlv
dea'lsg with those who have agreed
to walk in the narrow path of sur-
ier'ng with the Lord in order that
they may be selected to reign with
/ HIM when his kingdom is sci up.
/ order, is Heavens first law and
Jehovah God has er in his deaf
ingS with fallen humanity He has
not been dealing permisciously
Wiih the whole human family. Dur
ing the Patriachal age he only dealt
win the PalriarchS, Noah. Abra-
ham, Isaac and Jacob. During the
/ jewish age he only dealt with the
Jews and during the Gospel Age,
he is and has only been dealing with
the electorS-thc little flock. the
ones running for the great prize of
NE immortal on the devine plan.
/ IN ether words he is only dealing
/ with those who are aspiring TO he
| Judges of the world in righteous
ness when the kingdom is set up.
He Bride of Christ, the little flock,
has almost made herself ready ami
soon will be united in Heavenly
wcdlock to her Bridegroom and
Lord. After which the Great Judg-
| ment or human restitution will be-
CIR. Then the whole race of man
kind, including Father Adam, will
nave a chance to gain life everlast-
ing on the human plane. II is Of
ter The marriage Of the land, which
is IN the near future, when God
Will begin with the whole world
of mankind. He has a day sci. the
Judgment or Millennium Day where
in he will judge the whole world in
righteousness.
Someone may say, well | do not
see anything so very great in ever
lasting life on the human plane"
but friends stop and think for
moment Man will be perfect ply
Sically, mentally and morally. There
will be no sickness, sorrow, pain,
death, or any such thing to molesi
and disturb. The Devil will be
chained and finally destroyed. Every
individual will be King. The
whole earth will be as the garden of
Eden. If you would get some idea
rs TO what perfect individual will
be, call to mind all the physical
beauty there is in the whole world
ali the knowledge Of science, art,
oralory, music and what not and
combine all these qualities in one
individual and as great as this
p might seem TO us we must remem-
= bcr that such qualities represented
in such an individual would only
/, be feeble remnant of the quail
tiee of a perfect man which quail
ties have been in process of deter
' ioration for more than six thousand
: years.
!, Friends would not have you
a misunderstood me. The Churches
S hcpeS are not life everlasting on the
,, human plane, but life immortal on
a the Divine plane-the same kind OF
$ life on the same plane as Jehovah
, God far above angels, principalisies
q and powers. This immortal life on
c the same plane with Jehovah Sod
- is the Great Prize for which the lit
;. tie flock is running during this Cos
II pei Age.
= Man has not been satisfied to work
T according to Gods plan. God did
q not plan the conversion of the world
II during the Gospel Age His time for
y converting the world is after ihe
II Gcspel Age, or period of election, is
u ended. The electing and qualifying
u of the little flock during this age IS
C preparatory and for the very pur-
5 pose of converting the world To
y Goodness.
II Under the binding inilence OF Sa'
IS tan The majority of The preachers
u have been acting upon the theory
