The regeneration Of the human race
has been the hope of Christians for
centuries, which hope is based upon
Gods promises. To Abraham he said;
I'm thy seed shall all the families of
the earth be blessed" Genesis 1873
22:1S) This promised blessing is life
everlasting. 6:23.
The opening chapters Of the Bible
tell of the creation of perfect man
in the image and likeness Of God, and
his habtation in perfect home,
Eden; of his violation of the divine
law and his sentence to death. BY in
heritance all of his offspring have
been born imperfect therefore sinners,
and in dying condition. (Romans
512) God made promise 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. (John
3:16) He came to ransom man from
the power of the grave Matthew
2O:2S), that the people might have
life. (John 10:10) He died for the
benefit of all men 0Hebrews 2;9),
which testimony must be given to all
men in Gods due time. IL Timothy
1850 At that due time every man
shall hear the truth taught by Jesus
who promised: "If man keep my
saying he shall never see death,
John S:5D There must be due
time for all men to hear these truths
before they can be kept.
The first six verses Of Revelation
q tell of time coming when there
will be no more death. and which
time is stated to be during the reign OF
Christ. He CChrist) must reign till
he hath put all enemies under his
feet. The last enemy that shall be
destroyed is DEATH Corinthians
15:25,26
1t is evident from the foregoing
Scriptural proof that there must come
time when the people will have
an opportunity for life, peace anc
happiness. The question is. When? ST
Peter answers this question. saying
Times of refreshing shall come from
the presence of the Lord; and he
| (God) shall send Jesus Christ who
before was preached 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 tn,
world began---Yea, and all the proph
cts from Samuel and those that follow
after, as many as have sopken, have
3: 19-21,24) This statement conclusive
ly proves that at the second coming
OF Christ and during his reign th'
obedient ones of the human race viii
be restored to exactly what Adam
lost, viz. perfect manhood and a per
feet home.
Twenty-four of the holy prophet
of Jehovah foretold the coming o
such restoration of man. These proph
cts spoke with divine authority. Th'
disciples of Jesus, knowing of tn
testimony of these holy prophets ant
of the coming time of restoration pro
| pounded to Jesus this question: Mas
ter. tell us how may we know of tn
time Of thy presence and of the en'
OF the world Matthew 243) TIL
answer of Jesus to this question wa
clear and conclusive, Understandable
by men when the events mentioned b.
him should be fulfilled. The end Q
the world and the setting up Of Mes
siah's kingdom will mark the begin
ming of the restoration Of man, ant
from that time forward millions o
people living on earth will never die
The first important question, thel
is. What is meant by the end of tn
world and when does it occur? Worl
means social and political order en-
