ABOUT THE BIBLE.


It was q master stroke when Satan
induced man to believe that he never
dies. That is immortal death proof.
God has always been immortal; but
Christ was not immortal until he
arose out Of death at ms reSurrec-
ton. He could not have died for the
human race ii he had been immortal.
Cod gave HIM immortality for giving
Adam and his children back their
ives Epn. l.19 to %. Phil. 2:5 to II.
If Adam and his family are lmmOr-
tai they have never died and there
was no necessity for Christ to die for
them-the living race. Satan said,
Thou shalt never die God said, Thou
shalt die. The majority of earth'S
population has believed and is be-
lieving Satan's lie. Christ prayed to
the Father to give Immortality to as
many as would follow in his foot
steps--nOt that they already had I'M
mortality Satan thought he could
keep Auam and his race living al
ways but he got his first setback
when Adam and company keeled
over and died. He got another shock
when Christ gave Adam back his life
in the resurrection. Satan seeing his
plans thus thWarted, determined if
he could not own the earth, neither
should Christ own it. All down
through the ages he has done all in
his power to confuse, to harrass and
destroy humanity. Adam anc Eve
were the tgrst sinners. Ii the wages
of sin is eternal torture cana MOI
death), according to the general be-
lief, our fOrefatherS are in hell, to
O+<,
there were no Catholics in their day
to pray them out and they never
died. All peoples before Christ were
heathens Except the small Jewish
natlon), and since Christ only three
lOurts OF earths population has ac-
cepted Him. The remaining one
fourth are mostly half-hearted in
their devotion to Him.
No, dear friends, lets take Gods
word for it, that gehenna,, sheol,
nades, hell and the grave are all the
same and that all Of humanity who
nave died are asleep there until the
resurrectiOns - First and Second.
There are two rewards offered in
the Biblc-heaVenly and earthly.
There are two deaths mentioned. lSt
or Adams cor natural and the second
death, from which there is no resur-
rectlon Christ's footstep followers
take part in the first resurrection |
and set heaven-The spirit nature
immortality and will reign with !,
Christ over the earth not only for a |
thousand years but through all eter-
nifty. There is the known in helping
Christ to tear down Satan's en-
1i.rl> ~,
manly that ne cannot deceive them)
and then to set up Christ's righteous
government on tne runs thereof.
The End reward and resurrection
are Tor the rest Of humanity-l:fe
on the earth, the same as Adam lost.
AS in Adam all die, so in Christ shall
all be made alive 1st. Cor. l5-22.)
All that are in the graves shall hear
ms voice and come forth But God
does things In an orderly way. In It's
present condition the earth could not
accommodate 80 billions Of people all
at once. But to resurrect few at
the time all through the 1000 years
Gas the earth was gotten in readiness)
would be a better way. And the rest
or ali OF the dead lived not again I'M
til the 1000 years were finished (ReV.
20:5). When those billions of people
gradually come on earth. They will
have their first and only chance to
learn OF and accept Jesus Christ and
him crucified and to get eternal life
on the earth. Only a few of earth's
inhabitants have known and accept
ed Christ as their Saviour All of
those people after having one full
chance to come into harmony with
Gods law will be tested for a short
time to see whether they wish to re-
main loyal to God and get everlasting
life or go over on the devils side
and get eternal death along with
Satan. At Ezekiel 28:16 to 10, God
says, | will bring thee (Satanl to
ashes upon the earth; and never SHALT
thou be any more. The lake of fire
and birthstone is figurative language
meaning total destruction at Rev.
20l3 to Is it says and the dead were
brought out of death and hell (out
Of the grave) and death and hell (the
graVe) were cast into a lake Of fire ;
and birthstone which is the End
death. The same place where all the
incorrigibly wicked and Satan go
total annihiliation. Read Prov. z.22,
Pisa. 1920, Heb 2:14, l Cor 1885,
Rev. 21:4, Hosea 1914. Satan brought
death upon the human family and
he became Gods adversary and in
Gods due time death will be a thing
of the past and no hellish devil will
