His elect Church of the pres- ent time associated with him as his Bride, will constitute the “new heav- ens” or new spiritual domination un- der which human regeneration will bring the “new earth.” Under that new dispensation everything will be in accord with the character of its King, the Prince of Light and Right- eousness, just as the conditions of “the present evil world” are in har- mony’with the characteristics of the “Prince of this world, who now work- eth in the hearts of the children of disobedience”â€"â€"“the Prince of Dark- ness.” The “world” or epoch which ended at the flood accomplished a great work.

St. Peter divides the world’s history into three great epochs. which our common version Bible designates as “worlds.” The first of these, he says, lasted from the creation of our first parents to the flood. The flood was the harvest time, the reaping time, of that epoch. It was the conclusion to the course of sin which, he tells us, there prevailed. And only eight per- sons, Noah and his family, were car- ried over as a nucleus for another great epoch or “world,” which St. Peter calls, “The world that now is,” and which St. Paul calls, “This pres- ent evil world” or epoch, and of which Jesus states, “My kingdom is not of this world (epoch);” while again he informs us that Satan is “the Prince of this world.” _ ‘ ,, 7 . llluu uvu ~-â€"- ---,, ting him to have an opportunity to show the traitorous attitude of his heart in connection with our first par- ents.

But the angels to all eternity might have supposed that an easier way of saving men was pos- sible; that if permitted they could educate, assist and uplift mankind out at sin and death conditions back to harmony with“ God.

For long centuries this relationship between the angels and mankind con- tinued. We have no record of any human being receiving an uplift from, their ministrations. 0n the contrary, as God had foreseen, the influence of sin'was contagious and ere long some of the angelic hosts became so enam- ored of the daughters of men that “they took to themselves wives of such as they chose,” and preferred to leave their own habitation or spirit condition and to remain in a material- ized form and to raise earthly fami- lies, although their course was con- trary to the Divine arrangement and must have been so understood by them. Divine power was not inter- posed to hinder them. The error of this sedition, the leaving of their own habitation or plane of spirit being. from a small beginning, spread, and God’s non-interference justified the supposition that he was either not able to cope With the situation, or un- able to enforce his own Law. Thus centuries rolled by, while the earthly children of “those angels which kept not their first estate” became “giants and men of renown” at a time when maturity was not reached until at least One Hundred years (Genesis vi). During .all those centuries we may be sure that every one of the holy angels had fullest opportunity to par- ticipate in the seductive pleasures of sin. And we may be quite sure dur- ing that epoch or age God demonstrat- ed fully, completely, which of the an- gels were in'heart and indeed in spirit and in truth loyal to him and to all the principles. of his righteousness. This work having been accomplished, that “world before the flood” was brought to an end, was overwhelmed by a flood of waters, the Lord declar- ing that the whole earth had become corrupt through this evil. The influ- ence of the angels along licentious lines seemingly tended more and more to degrade hu anity, so that we read that God behe that “every imagina- tion of man’s heart was evil, and only evil, and that continually.” With this closing of that epoch or “world” those angels which had not sought to abandon the angelic plane of be- ing were restrained in Tartarus, our earth’s atmosphere, until the judg~ ment of the great day of trouble in the close of this “world," when evi- dently they will recover their power of materialization. “This present evil world” differs gmongst the liberties granted to all e angels atthat time was the pow- er to materialize â€" to assume human forms. We need not stop to discuss the possibility of this, for we are ed- dressing those who believe the Scrip- tural record,‘and‘ to Such it will be uite sufficient for us to cite one of t e many Scriptural instances: 'the case of the three men who appeared to Abraham and were subsequently found to bet angelsâ€"spirit beings. They looked, talked, ate and were clothed like men. Abraham knew not whom they were until subsequently they revealed their identity, as we read in the account of Genesis xviii. The Apostle Paul adds his testimony to this incident, saying to the. Church. “Be not forgetful to entertain strung- ers; for thereby some have entertain- ed angels unawares” (Idebrews Friii,‘ 2). “This present evil world” diflers from “the world before the flood” in that it is not under the ministration of the angelsâ€"but man, in a general sense. is left to himself. Since the flood the world in general has been going on just as if there were no God. the exceptions. aside from the Jewish nation and the Church of Christ,‘beâ€" ing the destruction of the Sodomites and the preaching of Jonah to the Ninevites, warning them that they were about to perish. In other words. so far as outward appearance goes. God has allowed the world to take its own course, interfering only when the corruption became so great. as to make life injurious rather than a fav- or. We may also understand the Scriptures to teach that God has had a silent supervision of the nations to hinder them from overturning or «tis- turbing any feature of the Divine pro- gram. He is wise enough to know how to make the wrath of man to praise him and the remainder more than this he will restrain. v-nuu .-. .u. “v St. Paul, reviewing the question of human degradation as exhibited in heathendom, etc., explains that the great deterioration in the human fam- ily is the result of man’s being left to himself as respects the Divine super- vision. Hersays, looking back along the - line of Noah’s descendants, “When they knew God they glorified him' not as God, neither were thank- ful.

Fathe: l)lace for him and for the world was far higher than this. As an earthly potentate he would have ruled over a falling and dying race and would have been privileged merely to coun- sel, rule and direct their imperfect energies; but he never could have brought them to eternal life. Hence the Divine Plan was that he should die as the Redeemer of Adam and his race, that thus he miszht have the just. the legel right to lift out of sin J - -u. -11 n0 JU§u9 Luc LCEG‘ nae-nu -v __-- _-,, and degradation and death all of mankind who would fall in line with the gracious arrangements of the Di- vine purpose which centre in Christ.

Where will he begin his blessin work? All the prophe- cies impli that Messiah fiould be- gin his work with Israel and that It should progress through Israel to all nations. But the prOphecies did not event hint at the fact that before giv- ing the “restitution” blessing to Is- rael, under the New (Law) Covenant of Jeremiah xxxi, 31, Messiah would first make use of his “restitution" authority for the gathering of a spe- cial class of people. “a holy nation. a peculiar people, a royal priesthood." This, as the Apostle tells us. was kept a “Mystery,” and, generally speaking. it is still a “Mystery;" not only to Israel. but to the world. _The gather- ing of the Spiritual Israelites was the first ate pinuthe new program.

More- over, the character, of the promise was such that it imnlied not only the resurrection of the natriarchs, but the resurrection also of all the families of the earth that have gone down into death under the great Adamic sen- tence (Romans v. 12, 17, 19). tor our Lord'a crucifixion.

The Kingdom, the life eternal, etc., which the Lord has to give away, are those of Adam. which were lost through his disobedience and repur- chased by our Lord at Calvary. These he gives to his followers, the “little flock,” but not to keep. Earthly resti- tution blessings are theirs to sacrifice only. Whoever will not accept them on these terms cannot be Jesus’ dis- ciples. Such are the terms of the heavenly or high calling bestowed the police confinissioners to perform their sworn duty in the enforcement of laws. upon his followers.
