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.

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

- .and visible glory, or earthly and

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-

- these Christ would rule In a vls-

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
