INTRODUCES tine new order IL further
recorded BY Hagsai 3:e-7:
set ssss mere and / WI,
shake tAe heayens and the
earth - : md I win shake
all Nations ona tAe desire Of
all nAtiens shah Gomez
Paul. commenting on this pas
sage in Heb. 13:26-z7. says this
passage signifies the removing of
those things which are shaken.
Every system, religious. commercial
and governmental, because imper-
fections must pass away before the
desire Of all nations can come. It
is Christ acting - King that ia ma
nipulating the various forces, CAPT.
tai. labor. religion. ETC.. 30 as to
bring about the overthrow Of every
imperfect system.
What will constitute this new Or
der? I do not dare take time to
prove the point, but II is neverthe-
less abandantly provable that after
the shaking and destruction OF the
present order, Abraham and the
prophets and all the overcoming
saints Of the Jewish Age will come
forth from the tomb and become
t',e rulers Of the whole world.
There will be enough Of these
grand characters to rule the whole
world In Righteousness and equity
and these will be the earthly repre-
sentatives OF the invisible Abraham
ic Seed, Christ and His Bride.
SONE WILL LIVE THROUGH
THE TROUBLE.
Jesus pointed out in Matthey
24:21-22 that this time Of trouble
would be 50 terrible before it was
over that unless It would be short
ened no flesh would be saved. but
for the elects sake those days shall
be shortened. So then. there will
be some Of the people living at the
end OF the gospel age who will
pass through this time Of trouble
into the blessing side of the millen-
NAL age. Out Of the billi ms Of peo-
pie that live in the world today il
would be reasonable to think that
at least q hundred million would
pass through this time Of trouble.
Now since we have seen that the
gospel age vas not for the purpose
of saving the world but simply and
only for the gathering out Of the
Bride of Christ; and since we have
further seen that all the families Of
the earth, the whole world Of man
kind will get their opportunity o.
salvation in the millenial age ant
/, the saved of these will get life ev
erlasting right here on the earth
does it not therefore follow tina
the millions who pass through thu
fiery trouble with which the mil
lennial age begins, IL obedient t.
the new King and Prophet. tn
Lord Jesus, would never die? Be
cause the reward Of Righteousness
in the millennial age is life ever
lasting right here upon the earth
And, therefore, those who pas
through the time Of trouble AM
continue in obedience to the 1igh
as it shines upon them would con
tinue to live and never die.
Jesus prophetically told Of thi
wonderful period Of time when HI
said:
HE that Ike peth Ny saying shall
never see DEATH" John 1851. Ha
this passage ever yet been full
filled? Has there been any tim
during the past 5000 years whel
anyone obedient to Jesus saying
would not taste death? You say
no. But there il q time when thi
passage will be fulfilled and nov
we see when that time is and wha
people it refers to. 1t applies t
those who pass through the time o
trouble into the blessing period o
the millennial age.
As soon IS the time Of trouble i
over the merit of Christ's sacrific
will be applied to the whole worl
and as q result the penalty Of dealt
will be lifted OF the human race
You see the merit Of Christ's sac
rifice was never applied to tn
world of mankind but only to thos
who would believe, and these i
obedient to the end become mem
bers of the Christ body and wit
Jesus their Head, will conistitut
the Abrahamic Seed that shal
lbless all the families of the eartf
As soon Is this class is complet
1.-THE merit of His sacrifice will b
lappIied to the whole world Of man
kind. Then the death sentenc
will be lifted from the race. TIL
resurrection of the dead will 500
J follow and the living will not nee
to die.
" In list Cor. 1922 We read AS i
! Adam ION account of Adams SIM a
die so in Christie on account {
Christ's saGrifice) all snail be mad
alive" So the whole world are I
he brought forth from the tomb o
account of CLrist's sacrifice whic
satisfies Divine justice. But Il
world has not been brought fort
from the tomb yet thus shown
that the merit Of that sacrifice hs
not yet been applied on their b
half. God has arranged that tt
| merit Of that sacrifice VIII be onl
, applied to those that exercise fat
during the gospel age for the 81
, lection of the church His bride. 4
soon ~ this class have been q
lected then the merit Of that sacr
fee will be applied to the worl
, the death sentence will thus be LIT
, ed Of the race, the dead can the
be raised and the living will NJ
need to de. Tho whole world. III
ing and dead will then be given Z
individual trial for life BY full 81
lightanment and oil or assistanc
II any one dies after the merit I
that wonderful sacrifice has bet
applied It will be for willful d
