Divine Law of Retribution Man's First Judgment Day Death Sentence Pronounced Against the Race Re demption Secured by the Death of Another Man A New Trial For Man kind Second Trial Individual. Not Racial Messiah the Judge Trial to Last 1,000 Years Outcome Glorious, Portland, Me. August !.". I'asto Russell delivered s very interesting discourse hero to day oa the test 'Do ye not know that the saint. shall judge the world?" (1 Corlu thians C.u.'.) lie it spoke as follows: (frASTQR. gU5SFLLj Muvli eon fusion prevails through failure to under stand the Divine niili-;itioii of justice iu the world's affairs. Hitherto we have nut studied our ISililes with surJi cient care, but have jumped ut conclu sioiis and endeavored to make the lii Lie lit them, Iu every man there i some appreciation of justice, some real Ization that punishment ought to bi . Indicted for wrongdoing. Even those who practise wron recognize thisprin eiple, and are ready to condemn oth ers and to assist in punishing them even though hoping to escape the fruit of their own sin. The l'.ible clearly tea lies that t some extent national Judgments ami punishments have Leon in progress for centuries, but that individual reckon ings with Divine Justice are for the fu ture except as violations of Nature's laws continually bring retribution. It Is In view of this fact that the Lord's judgment is future that Christians are exhorted, "Judge nothing bcfire the time." Our incomplete knowledge ren ders even the int saintly liable to error of judgment. Christians have the promise that before their work as judges begins they will be iiualilied for it by a glorious change from earthly Imperfectl'Ui to Heavenly completeness in glory, honor and immortality. . The Scriptures discriminate sharpy between the judgment of the Church and the judgment of the world; and to read our Bibles intelligently we must thus discriminate. God has not Ignored sin during the past six thousand years He is punishing the w hole world every day. The ienalty specified in the lii ble Is death; and our race is dying at the rate of one hundred thousand daily exclusive of the great mortality occasioned by the European war. This death penalty has concomitants of trou ble leading up to it sickness, sorrow, pain all of which are really parts of the dying process, and therefore parts of the penalty. This ptnalty Is not graded according to moral difierenees amongst men. Di vine Justice merely decided that Fa ther Adam as a rebel against the Di vine Law had forfeited hLs life, and that none of his children could le born under conditions that would be icrfect and satisfactory to Gd. Therefore Adam's death sentence passed by he redity upon all of hLs children, Irre spective of their degrees of sinfulness, None of them being perfect none of them therefore being worthy of ever lasting life, all ov them must die, whether with much or little pain, whether by famine or pestilence or war or accident. Justice took no note of the method of the dying, but merely of the fact that they must die. Simi larly, human laws provide certain in alties for crimes, irrespective of the different conditions of the culprits. The Purpose of Jesus' Death. God might have allowed the race to perish under that death sentence, or "curse." If so. the accounts of Jus tice would have been squared, and ev ery man at death would have gotten his share of the ienalty. Then there would have In-cn neither future life nor future judgments for hi::i; for a death penalty Is the ex Irene limit of Divine I -aw, 113 well as of human law. Hut God purposed something better than annihilation for His human crea tures. He purposed an exhibition of His nu rcy i:i combination v. ith justice the redemption of Adam and all of Lis family from, the death sentence. The first step Iu this redemptive work was the death of Jesiw as a eorrespon 1 ing price for the first man, who per sonally sinned and who was personally condemned. The redemption of the original sinner, through whom the whole difficulty came, would constitute a satisfaction to Justice on his account and that of all his family, who partici pated in his penalty. Jesus' redemptive work was not with a view, to getting people out of a fiery Hell of eternal torture: for there is no such place, according to the lii ble. lib. death was to get mankind out of the rtJMe Hell the tomb-the death state Pheol in the Hebrew, Hades in the Greek. To bring Adam and his race back from the tomb signifies their res urrection. This is the promise of God's Word that because Christ died for man's sin, therefore in due time "there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the Just and of the un just." Act 24:15. The theoxv that nobody is dead that those who die merely change their form ai d live more fully Is In direct con- 1 met witli our observation a3 well as contradictory to tLe Eible, which declares that "the wages of sin i death, that "the soul that siuueth shall die. and that Christ died for man's sin in order to recover him oil of this peualty of death and to ma! possible his re-living, his resurrection from the dead. Romans 0:23; Eztkiel 1S:4; 1 Corinthians 15:21-2:5. - Another Day of Judgment. Having seen that Gods judgment, or sentence against sin, went into ef feet six thousand years ago and is still in effect that the whole world is dy iug we ask propel ly. When will the new Judgment Day begin the oppor tunity for Adam and his race to have another trial for life secured bv God' mercy through the death of Jesus? St. Paul answers our query, saying, "God hath appointed a Day, in which lie will judge the world in righteou ness, by that Man whom He hath or dained, whereof He hath given assur ance unto all men, in that He hath raised Hint from the dead." (Act 17:01.) St. Paul does not say that thi Judgment Day had begun in his time but that it was future, according to Goil's appointment, and as a result of Christ's death. lie clearly intimate also that Jesus is to lie the great Judge. In this view of matters, the appoint ed Judgment Day is not to be a time of punishment for Adam's sin; for maukind already have byn punished In the dying processes of the rae for six thousand je.irs. Xor is the com nig Juiiguieia to pumsii Adams rac because of (heir inherited weaknesse for all t'uoe weaknesses were im-ludcd in the redemptive work which til Savior accomplished when "lie by th grace of God tasted death for every man I lie coming Judgment Day simply signifies a fresh trial for Adam and his race. In the first trial in Eden Father Adam failed; and he and hi race all lost the .T-iTect life with which lie I. ad been originally endowed, as : son of God. The new Judgment Day I designed by the Creator for the benefi of Adam and his race. In other words. it will be a second great trial of the race, the difference being that the trial will be individual, and the rewards 01 punishments individual, not racial. During the four thousand vears from the time of Adam's sin and his coming under the death sentence down to tin time of Christ. Gil merely left th world under its ponaltv and without any suggestion that well-doing or iil uonig wouni nave any Hearing upon their future drstiny. The on!v excep tion to this rule was the little nation of Israel, Abraham's f amily. To A bra ham, a man of faith and loyalty to God, came the first declaration of God's purpose to bless the world. (Ga latians 3:X. 15, 2!.) Neither Abraham nor ids children were delivered from the curse. He was merely informed that God had purposed another Jtalg nunt Day, in whi'h all the families of the earth would be blessed and iu which Abraham's Offspring would bt the great Judge, through whom all tin willing and obedient might be brought back to everlasting life and perfection. God might have continued to deal with humanity exactly as lie had done during the first two thousand vears - might have left them in ignorance" of His purpose to roll away the curse ind to roll on a blessing. l!ut anotho feature of the Divine Plan made it expedient to reveal certain features of the Divine purpose. He desired to select two classes from amongst man kind before lie would beirin the sron- era work of giving a fresh judgment r trial, for everlasting life to Adam t ml his race. Iu harmony with His riau God revealed certain things to Abraham and his natural posteritj the Jews, up to the time Of Christ. In ITis dealings with them He tested them and found certain iiobh, loyal faithful characters, suitable to Hi- 11, Hire purposes, u ney are sometimes styled the An -lent Worthies, and are referred to by St. I'aul in Hebrews 11. In the closing verses of that chapter, however, the Apostle refers to the Church of the Gvspol Age as consti tuting: a different class of God's serv- lnts, as designed lo receive at I lis hands still higlfer honors than the others. Note the Apostle's words of ontrast. After speaking very highly f the faith of the Ancient Worthies. St. I'aul explains that they died with out having received the fulfilment of the promises made to them, all of which were earthly; and that they could not receive the fulfilment of their earthly promises until after the Church would have received and entered into !icr spiritual promises by the First Res fcrrectioii. Hebrews 11:3'J, 40. Selecting Judges For the World. The Church, according to the Bible. Is distinctly different from the world. nu J is to have a different kind of sal vation from that provided for man kind iu general. God's provision for humanity from the beginning was a perfect earth, suitable for perfect man kind; and all this was represented on small scale by our tirst parents iu Eden. ( Jod's Plan has not changed. The recovery of man from the death sen tence will bring him to perfection and world-wide earthly Eden, if he is obedient to the Divine arrangements. Otherwise he shall be destroyed utter lu the Second Death, as the Scrirn tures repeatedly declare. Acts 3:23. As God prepared a worthy class dur ing the Jewish Age to be His earthly representatives amongst mankind and samples of human perfection during the time of the world's Judgment, or trial, similarly lie has daring this Gospel Age been selecting another class, spir it-begotten ones, who are to be per fected on the Heavenly or Spirit Plane, made like their Lord and Kedocinw. (2 Peter 1:1: 1 John 3:2.) To Christ and His glorified Church God purposes to turn over the whole world of man kind. Including those who have gone Into the tomb. This '?33iah will oe backed by all the Divine Power in His work of res cuing mankind from the fallen condi tion. Satan will la bound; all evil in flueuces -will thus be restrained. The darkness It ignorance nnd superstition wiil be scattered before the rising Sun of Righteousness. All mankind will be blessed the Living first, and after wards the sleeping ones, "every man In his own order" or company not all at once. For a thousand years a great work of judging will progress. This judging wiil not be punishments on account of Adam's sin or of inher ited imperfections and faults, results of that sin. So far as the wrong do ings of the present life are traceable to inherited blemishes, they will be covered by the merit of the great Re deemer's sacrifice. The only accounts remaining unsettled will be for those misdeeds ami pernicious words of the present life done or uttered contrary to knowledge. The degree of knowl edge will determine the degree of sin. Each individual then on judgment, on trial, will have in himself the rec ord of his own iolations of conscience. Tliat is to say, the unforgivable sins, which must be punished, are those against the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Righteousness, the Spirit of Truth done intelligently against it. Thus the Ivili7.ed could sear their consciences in a manner that the uncivilized could not; and those having a knowledge of God and appreciation of the principles of His roiitrhteousness could injure themselves for the future in a manner that more ignorant people could not. Jesus declared that in the Day of Judgment those who did evil without knowledge will to punished with few er stripes than will those who did less evil with more light. lie gives us as illustrations the Sodomites of old, who were accounted most wicked, and the people amongst whom He was preach ing, who counted theiijseivcs holiness people Scribes and Pharisees. (Mat thew l":ir; 11:22) It will be tolerable for all. but less tolerable for those who have had more knowledge, more liht. in the present life, and who have fail ed to live accordingly. The Judgment of the Church. The iK-riod since Jehus' day, begin ning at Pentecost, has been the Church's Judgment D.i.v her trial time. Only those coming Into the True Church on the Lords terms are priv ileged to have tlsis special trial, and, if victorious, its special reward of glory, honor and immortality in the King dom." The entrance into tlie ciiurcn is through the begetting of the Holy Spir it; and this begetting to the new na ture is granted only to those who turn from sin, accept the Redeemer as their Advocate with the l ather, and make consecration to do God's will. As New Creatures, these have much advantage, in that God guarantees that "all things shall work together f"r good to them" as spirit beings. This means, however, that they will be sub jected to trials, dilhculties, testings. much more severe than come to man kind iu general; for they are being chiseled, polished, qualified, for tin glo ries of the Heavenly Kingdom. They must walk by faith, not by sight. They must make a noble light, in their hearts at least, against sin ami its allurements. They must prove themselves loyal to God. to His Truth and to His service. at the cost of even life Itself. The whole uue-tion we are discuss ing is summed up by the Lord in His Message through the Prophet Makichi (3:15-isi. The Froplx't declares mat now we do not see evil doers punished even though they injure God's true ticoolo ami blaspheme His name. P.ut after God has made ready all the jew els of the Elect class and has set them iu the gold of the Divine nature, there will be a chrnge in prevailing condi tions amongst men. Evil-doers will be chastised, with a view to their refornia tio:. This failing, they "will be de- ut roved from amongst the people." De scribing these' Restitution conditions th- Prophet declares, "Then shall ye return, and discern between tlie ngnt eous and the wicked." , Divine Judgments Desired. What God puriHises for the world through Messiah's Kingdom will be the grandest thing imaginable. Through this Kingdom, Divine judgments jus tice will be enforced everywhere yet sympathetically. Each will be required o live up to tlie perfect standard of tlie 1' olden Rule, to the extent of abil ity; and the Royal Priesthood win be fullv commissioned to remit icnalties for unintentional transgressings result ing from inherited weaknesses. The reward to well-doers will be gradual growth, in knowledge, in grace, in men tal, moral and physical strength. Many find it diflicult to understand how God's judinients could bring great blessings to the world. Hence we offer some suggestions: Suppose that the Kingdom were established, with Christ and the glorified Church In control, invisible to men, but all posvcrful and all-wise. Suppose myri ads of agents and agencies for the car rying out of the Divine will through this Royal Priesthood operating like the sound waves of the wireless tele- raph. Suppose- a contrite sinner ear nest in his full surrender to the Lord. and imagine his acceptance to Divine favor indicated by a miraculous heal ing of some infirmity or by an enlight enment of mind 'permitting him to ap preciate the Divine will. On the other hand.' suppose a lover of bin attempt ing to comnyt wrung and receiving in stant punishment his hand paralyzed iu the act of forging a signature or of taking the property of another his tongue paralyzed in the act of uttering slander, profanity or untruth. How quickly the world would'learn righteousness under such conditions: These very conditions we would now be naturally inclined to expect, but do not see; for God's great Plan has not yet reached completion. . i i i UNION.
