sheep class will lo separated from the

In the past many of God's people
have read their TiMes very carelessly.
Our minds have been slnc.cish to spir
it'.;:.! th'.njr?. For intanee. the Pa ra
tio of the Sheep and the Goats was at
o;;e time applied to the Church. We
failed altocether to notice that it does
rot say even oz.e word respecting the
Church, but is applied to the world, the
r.atk-ri-s. the heathen. Per many ceu
turi 's the Jews had been accustomed
tf) ttiink of themselves as God's nation,
God's peon'e: all others they styled
heathen. Gentiles, the nations, the peo
ple: and In the Old Testament prophe
cies God has treated the subject from
that standpoint.
Iu line with this usace. when Spirit
ual Israel was received into Pivine fa
vor as the Koyal Priesthood, the holy
nation, the peculiar people, all the re
mainder of mankind were properly
enough to be thought of as the nations,
the Gentiles. Polliovinc this then cut.
our Lord te'.Is in the Tarable of the
Sheep and the Goats what will befall
the nations after His Kincdom shall
have been set up-after the selection of
the true Church class to be the Dride,
the T limb's Wife.
The Parable Descriptive of the New
That this parable refers to the work
of the incominc Ace is clearly indieat
ed in the openinc verse. There the
Master distinctly says. "When the Son
of Man shall come iu His glory, and
all the holy ancei.s with Iliiu, then
shall He sit upon the Throne of His
glory." The scene of this parable evi
dently is laid after the Time of Trou
ble, when the nations shall have been
subdued. Satan bound, and the authori
ty of Christ's Kingdom established.
Tefore that time shall have come, the
overcoming Church will have leen
serncd with her Lord as His Dride In
His Throne. As the Apostle writes,
"Know ye not that the saints shall
judge the world?" I Corinthians 0.2.
Then follows a desTiption of the
work of the Messianic Ace: -Defore
"Him shall be gathered all nations."
.All the people in the world, except
'God's holy nation. His peculiar people,
the Church of Christ, will be gathered
before the great white Throne of Di
vh'.e Justice. Mercy and I.ove. First
will come the living nations: and then
in their appointed time the dead of all
nations will bo called to appear be fere
the Judgment Scat of Christ, there to
receive a fair, impartial trial as indi
viduals under the most favorable cir
cumstances, the outcome of which will
be a filial sentence of worthiness or
nnworthiness of life everlasting.
Sis: thousand years ago. in Eden.

in due time God sei.t His Son to die

race, by a man Jcsuj also will coma

General Dscript;on of the Judgment
Day.
The gathering of the world will be
tho result of knowledce. The Time of
Trouble will lead on to creat eislicht
enmeiit; all the blind eyes will be
opened, all the deaf ears unstopped.
r.:.d the knowh-dce of the clory of God
will till the whole earth as the waters
cover the sea. There will be some,
however, who will resist this knowl
edce and will de -Mi.e to accept Christ
as their Mediator; this class will not
enter into this judgment, but after one
hundred years of resistance will be de
stroyed. Those who constitute the two classes
mentioned in the parable, the Pastor
declared, are tho--( who have accepted
Chri-t's terms and desire to be on
ju-I-'ii-or.t. or trial, for life everlast
ing. This will include all that are In
their graves; they will come forth, not
all at once, but cradually. Messiah's
Kingdom will exorcise its j to v. or ami
disseminate the knowledge of God and
of ;!: principles :' righteousness, with
a view to oneonragiiic, helping and up
ofung all the v.illinc and obedient
All such ra-iy arise L.rad.uai;y out of
sin and d'vith cenditi"n up out of
Imperfection of mind and body, up
out of immoral coudii' t to the full
image of Go, as possessed by Father
Adam iis the b";inuinc.
The entire Millennial Age will be re
;inrcd to bring this about. Righteous
ness will rei;:n then, as Sin reigns
now; that is to s:'y, righteousness will
bo in the r.seondoney, in the control.
Then whoever sins will suffer prompt
ly. Hence all mankind will avoid sin;
an-1 the world in general will be a
grand race; "nothing shall hurt or de
stroy"; "the inhabitant shall not say,
I am siek"; the curse shall be grad
ually rolled away, and there shall be
no more crying, no morj sighing, no
more dying; the blessing of God will
prevail, bringing perfection Surely it
will be a happy Iay for humanity;
ami r. II who live throughout the thou
sand years will receive great blessing.
Importance cf Right Heart Condition.
The Pastor then discussed the sul
jeet of punishment for sins committed
in this life. He showed that it will be
ua!ly as just for God to forgive the
.sins of the world for Christ's sake as
it has been just for Him to forgive the
sins of the Church for Christ's sake.
If the one is just, so will le the other;
for God Is no respecter of persons, and
i niually as willing to forgive the
sins of the world as the sirss of the
Church; when the world repents and
turns from sin. accepting Christ as
their Redeemer.
This does not mean, however, that
justice will be ignored. In the case of
the Church, tiie sins of youth often
leave their scar and sting to the end
of life: and so we may reasonably as
sume that certain stripes, or punish
ments, will be permitted to follow the
world in just the same manner. It will
be from these weaknesses and frailties
that they will be gradually raised up
to perfection daring the blessed thou
sand years of Christ's Kingdom, when
Satan will be bound and unable to de
ceive any one.
Some may reason that if conformity
fb the Idvine Law in an outward way
will bring blessings to ail, there still
may be au inward difference between
people, some coming heartily into ac
cord with the Father, and others
merely assuming an appearance of har
mony because this harmony will be the
way to perfection. Undoubtedly this
easonir.g is correct. It is alosig this
very line that the parable under con
sideration teaches. Outwardly the
sheep class and the goat class will have
much the same appearance and de
meanor, except to the Judge, the King,
who will read the heart and ultimately
will manifest to all that there has been
a real heart diiYerence between the two
classes, all of whom will have been on
trial for a thousand years, receiving
blessings from Messiah's Kingdom.
Character the Casis of Judgment.
Meantime each Individual on judg
ment will be ma king character. This
the Great Judge will fully appreciate,
and will rate the individual either as
a sheep or as a goat. All the sheep
class will thus be received at the right
Land of the great Jehovah; and all the
gat class will be rated as out of favor
with Him. even though all the while
they will be receiving the blessings of
the Millennial Kbsgdom and outward
ly rendering obedience to its laws.
Not until the lose of the Millennium
will the decision of the Judge be
manifested. Then both sheep and
coats will show great surprise at Ills
decision.
To the sheep class the Judge will
say, "Come, ye blessed cf My Father
the kind that My Father is pleased to
fe-rant everlasting life, inherit the
kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world." When God
laid the foundation of the earth und
planned for its human habitation, it
was His design to give it to you. Now
has come the time for you to enter
lno this kingdom and possess it.
This is not the Messianic Kingdom.
On the contrary, it is the kingdom
which God gave Adam, but which he
lost through disobedience and which
Christ redeemed by the sacrifice of
Himself. It will bo given oLly to
those who will hae levelop-d the
God-like character thee who during
the Millennium have become the Lord's
sheep.
To the goat class He will say, "De
part, ye accursed ones doomed ones,
Into everlasting punishment." Grant
ed all the privileges, blessings and ex
periences of a thousand years of con
tact with righteousness, tr uth and the
Spirit of God. you indeed render an
outward obedience, but at heart you
.have not come into harmony with God.
I cannot present you to the Father ns
blameless find irreprovnble. You must
be destroyed in the Second Death
"everlasting destruction." The j-enal-ty
upon you is everlasting, bc-onuso
there will le no further provision
made for your redemption or your res
urrection from this Second It-atl'
You will be as though you had never
been. You have failed utterly to ap
preciate the goodness of God and to
copy His character-likeness. Eternal
life is for those only who have the II
vine likeness and spirit.
Doth classes were surprised at what
the KInc. the Judge, declared to be the
basis of His judgment. To the sheep
He said. "I was hungry, and ye gave
Me meat; I was thirsty, and ye pave
Me drink; I was a stranger, and ye
took Me in: naked, nnd ye clothd Me;
I was sick, and ye visited Me; I was in
prison, and ye came unto Me." The
goat class, He declared, had failed tt
meet these tests.
Doth sheep and goats claimed to have
no knowledge of such experiences. Put
the answer was. Inasmuch as ye did It
unto one of the least of these. My
brethren, or did It not unto them, ye
did it, or did It not, unto Me.
Ths Resurrection of the World.
Then the Pastor explained who these
are respecting whom there will be a
test upon the sheep class and the goat
class, and how it is that there will be
sickness, poverty, hunger and prisons
during the Messianic Kingdom. With
the establishment of the Kingdom all
who come Into harmony with it will
have the great privilege of doing some
thing to help others. The world i
blind and starved now, for want of
spiritual food and the anointing eye
salve of Truth. While the Millennial
blessings will be showered upon those
who accept the Lord's terms, there will
le others who will need assistance.
Those who have the Spirit of God, the
spirit of love, will bo glad to carry the
Heavenly Message of reconciliation b
all humanity, glad to apply the rye
salve to the blind, glad to unstop the
ears of the deaf, glad to help the sin
sick back Into harmony with God. glad
to help them to cover their nakedness
with Christ's merit.
Those who take pleasure In this work
will thereby demonstrate that they have
God's Spirit and are co-iaborcrs with
Ilim. All these will le the sheep. Put
those who are careless resjiectlng their
Vow, and merely enjoy the Millennial
blessings themselves, will be of the
goat class and will thus mark them
selves as goats. Correspondingly they
will be out of favor with the King of
kings, their Judge.
The Prison-House of Death.
The prison referred to in the parable
is undoubtedly the great prison-house
of death. Into which approximately
twenty thousand millions already have
gone. All these are to come forth, not
all at once, but "every man in his own
order," as the Scriptures declare. Only
the Church will be in the First Resur
rection. During the Millennium the
awakening from the slep of death
will, we believe, come about by Divine
Power, of course, but in answer to
prayer. Each family circle, as It can
prepare for another and another mem
ber, will be glad to do so, and will
make request for his return. Thus the
race will come out of the prison-house
in reverse order to that in which they
entered, and will be acquainted with
their friends and relatives, who will
have prepared for them and will iden
tify them.
While the blessing of the Lord will
provide an abundance f r all. never
theless we may safely assume that the
provision will be in the hands of their
fellows. It will be the sheep that will
be especially Interested In those in the
great prison-house of death, and who
will be praying for them and prepar
ing for them. By so engagluc their
time and energy these sheep will be
manifesting a purpose, a will. In har
mony with that of the Creator. God
has willed that all In the graves shall
come forth at the command of the Ixrd
Jesus; and those In harmony with God
pud Christ will be co-laborers with (1ml
in accomplishing the work for which
Christ died. Whoever Is not Interested
in that work will be lacking In God's
Spirit; and this is exactly what Is
charged against the goat class.
The King, having redeemed the world
of mankind and having provided for
the resurrection of nil the redeemed,
counts them as In a certain sense rep
resenting Himself, as He says in the
parable. Ills reproof to the goat class
Indicates that they were not really In
terested In the things of God. Their
Interest was merely a selfish one. They
had more or less of the spirit of selllsh
ness. which is the spirit of Satan.
The Lord's provision, as the ApotIe
points out. Is, "The gift of God Is eter
nal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
but "the wages of sin is death." Ro
mans 6:23.
