millions Now Living VIII Never Die


The regeneration of the human race has been
the hope of the Christians for centuries, which
hope is based upon Gods promises. To Abra-
ham he said: I'm thy seed shall all the families of
earth be blessed" Genesis 1913; 22:18) This
promised blessing is life neutrality-suspicious. 6:

The opening chapters of the Bible tell of the Gre
alton of perfect in the image and likeness of
God and his habitation in perfect home, Eden;
of his violation of the divine law and his sentence
to death. By inheritance all of his offspring have
been born imperfect, therefore sinners, and in
dying condition. (Romans 5:12) God made pro-
mise to redeem man from death Hosea 1910,
this redemption to be accomplished only by the
willing sacrifice of a perfect man. God sent his
Son Jesus into the world for that purpose Gohn
3:l6) He came to ransom man from the power of
the grave (Mathew 20: 28), that the people might
have life John 1O:1O) He died for the benefit of
all men Hebrew 2:9) which testimony must be
given to all men (Hebrew 2:9), in Gods due time |
Timothy ESQ At that due time every man shall
hear the truth taught by Jesus, who promised
II a man keep my saying he shall never see DEATH
Oohn 6:oD There must be due time for all men
to hear these truths before they can be kept
The first six verses of Revelation 21 tell of a
time coming when there will be no more death,
and which time is stated to be during the reign of
Christ "He (Christ) must reign till he hath put
all enemies under his feet The last enemy that
shall be destroyed is death."-1 Corinthians Is ::

1t is evident from the, foregoing Scriptural proof
that there must come Nme when the people will
lave an opportunity for Me- peace and happiness
The question is when? St\Peter answers this
question, saying: Times of refreshing shall come
from the presence Of the Lord; anekhe God shall
send Jesus Christ, who before was pfeached unto
YOU whom the heaven must retain until the times
OF restoration of all things which God hath spoken
by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the
world began--Yea, and all the prophets from Sam
uel and those that follow after as manv as have
spoken, have likewise foretold of these DAYS. (Acts
5i9-zl,24) This statement conclusivelv nroves
that at the second coming of Christ and DURING b;s
reign the obedlent ones of the human race will be
restored TO exactly what Adam lost, viz, perfect
manhood and perfect home.
Iwenty-four of the holy prophets of Jehovah
foretold the coming time of such restoration Of
man These prophets spoke with divine author
1ty. The disciples OF Jesus, knowing of TESTIMONY,
OF these holy prophets and of the coming time of
restoration propoundedo to Jesus this question :
Master tell us how may we know of the time Of
tiny presence and of the end of the world p, (M,tl

The answer of Jesus to this question was clear
and conclusive, understandable by men when
the events mentioned by him should be fulfilled
| - ne answer shows, in connection with other
scriptures that the end of the world and the SET
ing up OF Messiahs kingdom will mark the he
ginning OF the restoration of man. and from, +b+

will never die. N'' III
The first important question. then, is: What

years, and necessarily ended in 1914, which marks
the end OF the pre- ent order, at hichw time ifs

when that time arrived there would be a world

many of the prophets-that the return OF the
