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.
