Heine i Sermon on Revelations Text 1, Says Ordinary Doctrine 5 ; Not Scriptural ; K The Rer. A. L. Heine, pastor of i the Cnrlst Lutheran churen. State and 18th streets, will use Rerel- atlons 20:1-10 as the basis for '- nls sermon this morning, a synop- sis of which follows:. C The Scriptures In general are ' hot dark, as some would hare us ;"thlnk. but only portions of them. On the other hand the Scriptures are a bright 'and shining light which God has set Into this world bo full of darkness. . ,t ' Those are not few who know ' nothing in spiritual things, but Nwho imagine themselves very en- lightened and very wise. Such --men frequently formulate their own opinions and doctrines, and then they wrest the words of the Scriptures to suit. them to their a own preconceived Ideas. They are i sure to miss the way of truth by i their own conceit. To guard against being carried away by our own fancy is of paramount impor tance when we treat of prophe cies referring to the history . of 1 the church, the coming of Christ r n and the end of the world. I Often Distort Text ! What are we to understand by the thousand years of Christ's rul ing with his saints? There are, two rules or inter- pretation which we must be care ful to observe m, explaining mis chapter of Revelations. The first Is: "We must neverjput anything. finto Hie text wnioniis necsj talned therein. For instance, la sUtutlog , the Holy Supper the Lord said: "Take. eat. this Is my p body." Now if I explain these i words so 'as to make them say: IThls Is an emblem of my body, then 1 am putting something into these words which Is pot there. and I am so corrupting the Lord's f words and altering His testament. I f The other rule 1 this: Dark I passages, or passages which ap f pear dark to us must be explained 4 by clear passages and not vice . versa. This also applies to entire books of the Scriptures, For In stance: It is evident that Paul's epistles are clear on the doctrine of the Justification of a sinner be fore God. but what James wrote ion justification is not so clear I Therefore I must not explain Paul by James, but must explain $. James by Paul. i' Kingdom Is Spiritual ' The Scriptures distinctly teach that the kingdom of Christ is a spiritual, invisible, and not an earthly and visible kingdom "My kingdom Is not of this world," eaith (he Lord. The kingdom of Christ Is of a spiritual nature with spiritual treasures and spir- ttual Joys. And because its joys are spiritual and not earthly it must be a kingdom of the cross f while It remains on this earth. Bo il; Ing a kingdom of grace and the . 5 cross Christ's kingdom can nev ; ': er become a kingdom of earthly - .and visible glory, or earthly and Si v in j vuuiij eujujrmcuis. It is not doubtful that this -. ..::: y. I IS Paator of the ChrUt Lutheran church. State and 18th street, who la nearing the end of Ms second year of service In Salem. the time .when "The end of all things is at hand." It la incum bent on us to watch and pray that we may escape the snares of the evil one, and our names be found in the book of life which Is Jesus Christ. & ML CHURCH li!'. Chapter of Revelations does teach a millennium, Christ ruling a f1 thousand years with His saints. ut tne enier questions concerned tare these.: whether this millen nium is past or future, and wheth- j er it-is kingdom of earthly glory and enjoyments, or of a purely spiritual nature. t One Doctrine Involved ! The doctrine of the Iflllenar- lans runs about In this wise; Th r boast and the false prophet would come visibly on earth; the sleep- . ing sainu would arise, ana with - these Christ would rule In a vls- 4ble kingdom over all the earth. t . . m m ,wbhb anuu woaia d nouna tor fa thousand years. Then, Satan be ting loosed, Gog and Magog would I come, and then the end. i . That the ordinary xnlllenarlan fldent from the tact that it mil itates against doctrines clearly Uausht in the Scriptures. Such a doctrine would change the very I nature of Christ's kingdom on l earth, which can never be. be- - w i cause It must always remain a j 'kingdom of salvation for sinners. This is therefore what the text says: "Christ ruled with His own a thousand years, but the rest were dead and. remained dead and became not alive. Therefore this I first resurrection is not a resur rection . of the bod V. hut nf tho I soul from being dead Jn trespasses and sins, and this ls'Vremonstrated from the fact that by It men are made "priests of Godv and of S Christ." Now priests of Christ ws I do not become by the resurrae- tion of the soul through repen 1 tance .and - faith. . The thousand Jyeara here spoken of can not h 1 mean a visible kingdom, of earth. at 17 gtory.'. " ' " H I : Application of Text i ' The application may be stated H ithua: This key la the power over i t hell and death earned bv Jean i I Christ. .The chain binding Satan g Is the- word of. the Gospel which 4 l "the power of God unto salva s I tlon to every one that belleveth." V This chain remained unbroken for f a thousand years and over, dur- ; lng wfalch time the divine auth- ,f-i oiity of the Bible was not quae- v tloned within Christendom. In- M tlan nations are products of mod ' era times. Rationalists, skeptics , I and infidels are now stepping up- i ,; on the. broad of the earth, and I are assailing the church not with .; . the sword, but with the more dan i geroua weapons of falsa, philos- opny, mockery and ridicule. The f many legions of unbelievers may Te tn Gog and Magog. I ; " Certain- Is the day of Judgment in coming, and the one thing I needful for us to do is to embrace 1 Jesus Christ as the Savior of our i soul: but in Jesus Christ wa must vot seek earthly advantages; we ;--tnukt' be willing to follow him un CZt the cross.
