GOD'S KINGDOM
NO COMMON LEVEL THERE
"As S!ar Dilfcrcth From Star."
"Greatest and Least In
liie Kingdom"
JOHN THE BAPTIST'S
HUMBLE POSITION
Berlin, Germany.
March i.Ml.-1'asioi
Russell delivered
three addresses
here todav one ol
Iheiu k 1 Jews
on "Zionism li
Prophecy," anoth
er on "Hereafter'
mid the third,
which we report,
from the text, "01
those born of women there is not a
greater Prophet than John the Bap
tist, but I he least in the Kingdom ot
Heaveu is greater than he" (Luke vli,
28).' Large and Interested audiences
attended. He leaves tonight for Co
penhagen and Stockholm. Crowds of
Jews are reported to have heard him
during the last three days iu Vienna,
Budapest, Leniberg and Krakow.
There can be no better Illustration
of the sharp line of distinction between
the earthly and the heuvenly classes
and their calling than is shown by our
text, Haiti Pastor Russell. The great
Teacher freely attested to the loyalty
and courage and snlutllncss of His
cousin John, as evidenced by the words
of our text. Hut if ho great and hoti
orable a Prophet, why could not John
be a member of the Bride class? Why
could Ik not be numbered with the
disciples of Jesus and be an Apostle,
or at least a footstep follower? The
answer is that he was not called to
the heavenly plane, but to the earthly.
He was honored of God In being made
one of the Prophets of the Jewish Age
the last of them. Although n differ
ent honor from that conferred upon the
Apostles, John's was a great honor and
we have reason to believe that, under
Divine providence when perfected In
the resurrection, he will appreciate the
earthly blessings and privileges which
will be his, more than the spiritual and
heavenly privileges bestowed upon the
Apostles and the less prominent mem
bers of the Church.
The Lord "will chooso our Inher
itance for us," we rend (Psalm xlvll, 4),
Happy are those who repose Implicit
coulldeuce In I H v I no goodness and who
seek to obtain whatever may be God's
choice for them. If we have been
called with (he heavenly calling, let lis
not shrink back and declare ourselves
unworthy and decline to accept the fa
vors of Ood and to choose an inferior
position. Let us. rather, be glad to
say, Thy will be done In my heart. In
my life. In all my future. "Order Thou
my steps In Thy Word."
A Friend of the Bridegroom.
Jesus had a two-fold mission:
(1) He tome "that the world through
Illm might be saved" that He might
give Himself "a ransom for nil, to be
testified In due time" (I Timothy 11, 01.
(2) Incidentally Ills mission was to
proclaim the acceptable year of the
Lord the time Iu which God Is willing
to accept the tacriflcc of such us desire
to walk In the Itedeemer's footsteps,
and to constitute these the Bride and
Jolnt-helr of Messiah.
John the Baptist referred to the lat
ter feature of our Lord's work, saying.
He that hull) the ltrlde Is the Bride
groom, but the friend of the Bride-
groom beareth His voice and rejolceth
greatly. TIiIh, my Joy, therefore, Is
fulfilled (John III, -11). .It was not for
him to be a member of the ltrlde, but
ho rejoiced to be a friend of the Bride-
groom. A our I-ord's forerunner he
announced the Bridegroom; he called
tiM)ii the nation of Israel to turn from
sin, to purify their hearts, to come
buck into harmony with God and thus
to be prepared to receive the Bride
groom and to become the Bride. So
far as the nation was concerned John's
mission was u fullure, as God hud fore
known nnd foretold. But so far us
the Bride class was concerned John's
mission wus a success, for, us the
Scriptures intimate, those who believ
ed John's testimony accepted Jesus
and He accepted them.
Greatest In the Kingdom,
We must remember that the Church
Is the Kingdom of God -now In a
formative or embryotlc state, but in
the end. by "tht resurrection." to be
spirit beings and partakers with Je
Riis, their Bridegroom, In Ills wonder
ful glory, honor. Immortality and
Kingdom work. This Klngdon class
Is not reigning now, but merely form
Ing. It Is Joined "on probation." after
the Method's! style. If the probation
ur.V M'i'l'd of the present life be faith
fully used, the full Induction Into thp
Kingdom, its glories, honors and Im
mortality, will surely follow-by par
ticipation In the First Resurrection
Amongst the faithful followers of
the Muster there will be differences,
us St. Paul explains, "as one star
dlfferoth from another star In glory
I (I Cni'lnlhliins xv. -Hi. We cannot
know, and It Is not necessary for
us to guess, who shall occupy the
chief I lin es In the Kingdom. These
shall lie given to those whom the I 'a
tber prefers, us the Redeemer explain
ed to the woman who asked that her
two sons might sit. one on His right
hand mid the other on His left hand
In the Kingdom iMalthew xx, 21 1.
closest In position to the Master we
would suppose that St. Puul would be
first, with St. John, St. Peter und St.
James near by Iu glorious excellence.
And yet we know not how nearly up
to the Apostolic standard some may
lie who have lived very humble and
obscure lives, have fought a good
fight nnd finished their course with
Joy. Indeed, the twelve AMstles seem
to occupy, by IMvlne decision in ad
vance, the very highest stations in the
Kingdom, next to that of the Redeem
er. Who said of them, "Vo who have
followed Me, iu the ieaeiuiaiwn
ftil nit wio (irr?r thiime Judging
the twelve trilies of Israel" (Matthew
xlx, 2SI. Again, they are pictured to
us as the "crown of twelve stars" to
the Church (Rex elation xll, 1). nnd yet
again, they are pictured to us as the
twelve precious foundation stones of
the Church In her future glory, as the
New Jerusalem (Revelation xxl, 14).
Those called of God to this high sal
vation, as members of the spiritual
Kingdom which shall bless natural Is
rael and through her all the nations.
are required to demonstrate tlielr hv-
alty to God by faithful- even unto
denthu the narrow way of self-sacrifice.
As there Is no other Name than
that of Jesus whereby any may be
saved to eternnl life, so, likewise, there
Is no other path whereby any may
reach the Kingdom except tbo uar
row way, "nnd few there be that find
It." All who attain to the Kingdom
must be overcomers of the world to
the extent of self -sacrifice. The grada
tions of glory will be liecnusc of spe
cial manifestations of eenl for the
Lord and His cause of righteousness
and Truth against sin nnd ennr.
A Lester Spiritual Salvation.
The Scriptures clearly show another
class In process of salvation during
this Gospel Age, quite separate and
distinct from the Bride class. These
are referred to In vurlous parts of the
Scriptures. They will nil bo loyal, to
the extent that they would not deny
the Lord nor wilfully practise sin.
Their failure to reach the status of the
Bride Is indicated In an Insufficiency
of real In connection with their loyal
ty. This class Is described In Revela
tlon vll, 14. They are represented as
having failed to keep their garments
unspotted from tho world -failed to
live circumspectly, carefully enough.
Hence In a grent time of trouble In
tho end of this Age these are represent
ed ns washing their robes and making
them white In the blood of the Lamb
and then coming up through that trib
illation to glory nnd honor, but not
to Immortality, uor to the same degree
of lory nnd honor ns tho Church, the
Rrlde. The distinction In their glory
Is Indicated In that Instead of being in
the Throne they are Ufore It; Instead
of being the Bride, they will serve; In
stead of wearing the crown, they will
bear palm branches; Instead of being
the Temple, they will be servants In
the Temple.
This same class Is referred to by the
Apostle In his declaration respecting
tho end of thhi Age. He Intimates that
some will have an nbundant entrnnco
(H Peter I. 11) Into the Kingdom, w hile
others will be "saved so as ly lire
(I Corinthians III.. 15). Tho fire of this
Day will test every man's work of
what sort It Is. Some will be proved
to lie gold, silver, precious stones.
These the "fire" will not consume
Others will lie proved to be nn ndmlx
ture of hay and stubble, which will be
con.iumed, though theniM-lves will be
saved from tho flro (I Corinthians 111.
12. 131.
The tribe of Levi pictured the entire
"Church of the First born," but It con
tained Iwo elasses-lhe "liltlo flock" of
priests und the "greut company" of Le
vltes the Bride class nnd tho servant
class, none of whom have any Inher
itance In the earth, all of whom have
the heavenly Inheritance.
As Isaac typified our Lord, the Re
deemer, nnd us Rebecca typified the
Bride class, so Rebecca's maiden typi
fied thii "ymit company" class. This
same thought Is brought to our atten
tion In Psalm xlv, where the Bride
clnss Is pictured as being presented
to Jehovah In the end of this Age In
glory, honor und Immortality, Illustrat
ed by ralniont of fine needlework uud
gold. Following tho Bride come "the
virgins, her companions, who follow
her." These also will be greatly hon
ored, greatly blessed, though theirs will
bo a less honor. This "great company"
will not constitute the Kingdom, al
though they will be identified will) It
and its wonderful salvation and bless
ing for mankind. ,
Keeping or Breaking Commandment.
The Great Teacher's declaration that
they who bi"ak God's commandments
and teach ri'tjcrs so to do shall be
culled "least In the Kingdom" has caus
ed considerable perplexity In the past.
The question has been, How could any
one be fit at all for the Kingdom who
breaks God's coniiiianduieuts und
teaches others so to do? The answer
is that many of God's people have la
bored under inoie or less of blindness
and have done things whirl) they
ou;'ht not to have done and left un
done tlio things which they ought to
have done. As an Illustration. John
Calvin, noble man as he was, burned
his Christian brother. Servetus. Suc h
violation of the IMvlne commands and
such wrong leaching must, according
to our human Judgment, assign Brother
Calvin to u lesser place In the King
dom I ha ii if he had nmre carefully,
more earnestly sought the will and
Spirit of God. However, It Is not for
us to Judge. We nre merely seeking
to ascertain the spirit of our Lord's
words.
Begotten of the Holy Spirit and priv
ileged of the Lord to be disciples and
to lie guided of i lie Holy Spirit, we
should lie so faithful iu the study of
the Scrlpturos us not to lie mistaken
In respect to the general application of
their meaning. Wrong practice and
false teachings do not alwnys repre
sent disloyalty to God, but they surely
dt always represeut slackness or Inat
tention to the Iilvlue message; though
we may be sure of the Lord's faithful
ness in enlightening all who are of the
proper, teachalile spirit.
John the Baptist's Class.
To what cluss does John the Baptist
belong, and what will he his share in
the Kingdom, according to our text?
Since the call of God begun with th
call of the Church. ' and since the
Church began at the First Advent of
Jesus, It follows that no one was called
of God to salvation prior to Jesus' time
none for forty-one hundred and fifty
years after sin entered the world.
God did. however, recognize the loy.
ulty of heart of Ills Prophet Enoch
and communed witli him and blessed
him, etc. God also recognized Abra
ham's falih und spirit of obedience,
nnd Isaac's nnd Jacob's, and that of
Moses and Aaron and numerous proph
ets anil other faithful ones less notable.
lld he not call these? We answer
that he did not call them to salvation.
for no salvation could lie positively
offered until the itedeelner had sacri
ficed; nor were they called to the King
dom, for the same reason. God did
tell them that iu due time He would
bless all the world. He did tell them
that In due time tho great Ruler of
the world would come forth from
Abraham's posterity In the line of
Isaac and Jacob uud the nation of Is
rael. But telling them of a coiaia
blessing and giving them eternal life
are different matters. St. Paul de
clares that none of them got everlast
ing life, and that "by the deeds of the
Law no tlesh can be Justified before
God."
Israel's Ijiw Covenant served ti
Instruct tho Chosen People. It was
a call to do right, nnd a promise of
eternal life If they would keep the
Ijiw. "Ho that doeth these things
shall live." Israel learned tho lesson
that a perfect Law cuuld not be kept by
Impel feet beings. Some of them nnd
some of the Gentiles In due time heard
of Jesus und how God has provided
Justification through Ills sacrificial
death.
Cod Provides Some Better Thing For
the Church Than For Ancient
Worthies.
St. Puul tells us the status of those
uoblo characters, of whom John Uio
Baptist was tbo last They were vol
unteer servants of Cod, so to speak .
Those of them who were born under
the Law Covenant, by their faith lived
above It und will be fully rewarded,
although they lived before liny specific,
cull or offer of eternal life wus made.
Their f ul t h uud obedience were pleus
Ing to God; as St. Paul relates, "All
these died In faith, not haviug receiv
ed the tilings promised ithem), God
having provided some better tiling for
us (the Gosis-I Church), that they with
out us should not be tnado perfect
(Hebrews xl, 13, 4(1).
"Tho Church of the First-born" is to
be perfected first, nnd ou the 'spirit
plane, "partakers of the divine nu
ture" i II Peter I, 4). In due time those
Ancient Worthies will come forth,
from the tomb to receive the blessing
which God declares shall be tho re
ward of their loyalty. As the Church
will have the "better resurrect lou" on
tho spirit plane, so those Ancient
Worthies will have the "belter resur
rection" on the earthly plane. They
will (time forth from the tomb actual
ly perfect, while (he remainder of
mankind will be obliged to attain per
fection by the slow process of faith,
works, obedience, during the thousand)
years of the Kingdom.
Ancient Worthies Will Be Princes In
All ths Earth.
Moreover, those Ancient Worthies,
while not members of the Kingdom,
pir e, which will l -spiritual, will be
members ef that Kingdom In Its earth
1y pha. They w ill be tho Kingdom's
earthly representatives, princes or
rulers. In ull the earth, as the Scrip
tures declare (Psalm xlv, lt). We re
member the words of Jesus to this ef
fect: "Ye shall see Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob nnd nil the Prophets In the
Kingdom." but He said not wortl
about Himself or His disciples being;
seen; properly so, because they, as spir
it beings, will be Invisible to men.
The Scriptures still further luttiuata
that during the thousand years of
Messiah's reign, all the fulthful of
mankind, ull the obedient, will be priv
ileged to come Into relationship wltls
the King. This Is figuratively repre
sented In the statement thut the great
ones of earth "will bring their glory,
nnd honor Into the New Jerusalem."
With such glorious hopes before us.
with such npproclailon of our Heaven
ly Father's glorious chnracter sin!
wonderful Plan, with such n grant
view of our Savior's work, with such'
n hope of a share with Illm In His
Kingdom, what manner of person
ought we to be In holy living and
godliness! Nor should It be thought
strange that any of the splrlt-begotteu:
now. or the restored of the future,,
who would turn their backs upon the
gracious provisions mnile for their sal-',
vatlon. v oti'd be considered unworthy;
of further favor or blessing at.thi
hands of God and would die the Sec
ond Oealli - annihilation. As Tnul says
"they shall be punished with everlust
Ing destruction from tho presence ot
the Lord and tho glory of his power"
(II Thessalnfilans I, ID.
Soon the disciples of the Muster wilt
be one with 1 1 1 in beyond the vell.i
sharers of Ills glory and Kingdom.'
Then will come the tlmo when the'
world will believe. Tho knowledge of
the Lord will fill the earth nnd all'
the blinding and stumbling Influences))
of the present will be nt an end. Th
Savior will then exenise His power
on behalf of the world, overthrowing
evil nnd uplifting every good principle
nnd nil who love righteousness, and,
destroying those who would corrupti
the earth.
If we were to guess who shall be
