rAOS BIGHT, Till Ki& QF DEATH AMD HADES Siieol to Bs. Destroyed Then Will Come the Shout: "0 HADES WHERE IS THY VICTORY!" Sunday, April 30. Pastor Russell Y If' ernaeIe preached - III today on the Ues I orreetlon, ap- y 7"', L III Ject from another structlon of sheol, hades, ' the ' grave, the state of death. He considered a number of texts voic ing his tMme. He said: Death Is spoten of throughout the Bible as an enemy. Merely hymn-book theology presents !t as a friend, an an gel sent of Ood. Death Is Introduced to our attention In the Bible as the penalty for sin, with the distinct un derstanding that had Adam' not trans gressed the Divine commands he need not have died, nor, ever have been cast out of bis Eden home. St. Paul em phasizes the fact that death Is the pen alty of. sin and that the resurrection of, the dead will come to mankind as the result of the, redemptive.-work of Christ. He says. "Since by man come? death, by man also comes the resur rection of the. lead. For. as all In Adam die, even so all In Christ shall be made alive; but every man in his own order." band or cohort (J Corinthians xv. 21t23).'' ;('- , As Genesis introduces death as a, penalty for sin. Revelation concludes the great drama by pointing out Christ's victory and the destruction of sin and death, the release of all the members of Adam's family from his sentence and eventually the bringing of all the willing back to fellowship wlthod and to eternal life. Between these two extremes of Divine Bevela-' Uon are the assurances of the Proph ets and the words of Jesus and His Apostlen explaining the processes of redemption ' and reconciliation., St Paul summarizes these with the state ment, "By one man's disobedience sin entered Into the world, and death as the result of sin. and thus death passed upon all men, because all are sinners. As by one man's dis obedience the many were made sin ners, so by the obedience of one shall the many be made' righteous" (Ito-' mans v. 12-191. Death a Ravanous Monster. In the poetic language of Scripture death Is symbolically represented as great monster which has been swal lowing up the human family, never 'satisfied.. Millions on millions have already been devoured. Mankind in vain has looked, for a Deliverer for one able to vanquish death and to de liver the prisoners from the great prison-house of sheol. hade, the grave. This monster was granted permission to devour the race by Him Who cre ated "us, because we we're unworthy of eternal life. Death, therefore, is backed; by the mandate of the A1-. mighty, and He. cannot overthrow His own'decislon, 1 The .Divine proposition is that who ever ''would meet the requirements of Justice against Adnm and his race might purchase or ransom them, and have fall light to deliver them from the prtsoo-house, the tomb. For four thousand, years there were promises looking forward to this great Mes sianic, tieliverer,, but only promises nothing was accomplished. Finally, in due time. Ood sent forth HIk Son. He says that "He came not to con . demfi the world (not to add to (ts con demnation, not to add to Its sorrow or pain or trouble or . hopelessness), but. that the world through Him might be saved'.', from death have life, perfect and everlasting, deliverance from the Jaws of the monster and from his prison-bouse. But although more than eighteen' centuries have since elapsed, the race ts belnaanwnllo'wed up of this great monster, death, more voracious ly than ever ninety thousand, every day. His prison-house, sheol, hades, the tomb. Is supposed now to contain twenty, thousand millions of Adam's children. Why the delay? Did God's plans 'go awry? Was the Savior in sufficient for His work? Was His sac rifice Imperfect and unsatisfactory? The Scriptures assure us that the sacrifice that Jesus offered (Himself) was a satisfaction, "ransom-price." for the sins of the whole world. . They tell us that the Heavenly Father manifest ed His approval of the sacrifice when He granted the Pentecostal blessing, and that Jesus Is even now at the Father's right hand watting (Hebrews x. 12. 13i until the time shall come when 'the heathen and the uttermost parts of the earth shall be given to Him, that He mny establish His reign of righteousness, blessing the world and releasing all the prisoners of Sin nd Death. The dejay s not in any sense an indi cation of weakness, nor of any change in the pivlne program. It merely in dicates that there Is another feature of the Almighty's purpose which' we did not for" a time discern. The work ts to be a great "He. Twenty thousand millions nre' to be delivered from death's' prison-house. And all of them will need Instruction, uplifting, chas- sult vmir Avtnr. Ask him Uever stains or changes the Bald? tenlng, scboollnc. to nrnar them for the Divine blessing of life everlasting. The time for instructlou and uplifting is declared to be a thousand years. The power for the Instruction In the Mes sianic Kingdom, the Ruler of which will be Mesilab and His Bride Joint- heir with Him In His Kingdom. Dur ing the past nineteen centuries God. bv His Word and providences, has been calling and drawing a "little flock" to Christ to be His Bride, And not until all of these shall be call ed, drawn, tested, proven faithful uuto death as followers In the Master's foot steps, will the elect Body be complete and the slaylng of the great monster. Sin and Death, be begun and accom plished, For that day the saints are waiting and praying. "Come. Lord Jesus, come quickly!" And for that day the whole creation is waiting, al though not clearly Informed respecting the blessings in Btore for them (Romans vill, 19, 21). "The Last Enemy" Death. St. Paul points us to the great De liverer, tbu glorified Messiah, at the time when He shall take the Kingdom under the whole heavens and begin the fulfilment of the prayer He taught us. "Thy Kingdom come: Thy will be done on earth as in heaven." He tells us He must reign until He shall have put all enemies under His feet "The last en emy that shall be destroyed Is death" (I Corjnthlaus xv. 201. The meaning is clear. Messiah's Kingdom will ad' dress Itself, promptly to the rectifica tion of every form of unrighteousness, financial, political, social, religious. He will rule the world with a rod of Iron and every nation and every sys tem or element contrary to the Divine standards of righteousness will be bro ken to shivers 'with His "Iron rod." Thus will righteousness be established in the earth In the midst of "a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation." But the putting down of sin will be but the beginning of Messiah's work. Satan being bound, and the reign of sin thus estopped, each transgression will receive a Just recompense and each good endeavor a Just, reward Gradually mankind will rise out of sin and therefore proportionately come from, under the power of death, until all the willing and obedient shall be fully delivered from all danger as re spects the monster which bus devour ed our race for sixty centuries. Not only so, but those twenty thousand millions who have gone Into the prison-bouse of death will be released not all at once, but gradually, as the Apostle declares, "Every man in his own. order.", or band. By the close df the thousand years of Messiah's reign, His victory over Sin and Death will be complete. Every member of Adam's race will have been lifted from the prison-bouse of death. It will be a prison-bouse no longer, for there will be no prisoners in It; man kind will have been lifted out of the clutches of Sin and Death, weakness and depravity, by the processes of res titution, resurrection, uplifting (Acts ill, 19-23). The . victory over sin will be complete, because all who love sin and are willingly its servants, after being released from the condemnation of the Adumic death, will be destroyed in the Second Death. Thus Adamk Sin and Death will finnlly be complete ly routed nnd the prison-house of death be broken up. And Adam and bis family, not willingly sinners, will all be set at liberty restored to human perfection, as the earth will be brought to. Edenic perfection. ! "O Death. Where la Thy 8ina?" Then will be brought to pass the Divine prophecy, "O, death, where Is thy sting? O, grave, where is thy victory?" (I Corinthians xv, 55 1. . We must notice when this is to be brought te pass. It Is not now true. The sting of death Is In us all, for, as the Apostle explains. Sin is the sting of death. " And because all have been stung by sin, all are dying. It will require tbe entire Messianic Age to fully extract from humanity tbe virus, tbe sting, of sin by bringing mankind to perfection. Only as tbe tlug of death is removed will the pow er of death relax, because it is a part of the Divine Law that "The: soul that slnneth, It shall die." Death now has Us sting. Bu( when , that which is perfect shall have come, the sting will be gone, the imperfection and weak ness will be gone,, the cause for sin will also be gone. Not now, but then, will be brought to pass the saying. "O. Hades, where Is thy victory?" Hades, sheol. the grate; has been having a victory over Adam's race for over sixty centuries. And. Its victory will not be entirely overthrown until' the Redeemer shall have deliv ered from the power of tbe grave tht last member of the human famlly'-for all of whom "He died, the .lust for the unjust to bring us buck to Ood." Thus, is the Apostle says, with the culmination of Christ's Kingdom, with the deliverance of all mankind from the power of Sin and Death, death will be swallowed up In victory. The Apos tle probably quoted from nosea xtil., 14, where we read. "I will ransom them from the power Y the grave (sheol); I will redeem them from death: O death. I will be thy plagues (gradual destruc tion); O grave (shenh. I will be thy de traction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes." The Almighty will never change or turn from this decision. I)enth nnd the grove, sheol. hni".s (the Bible belli, are to be destroyed. Every lember of Adam's race Is to be deliv ered by Him Who redeems all. Keys of Death and Hades. A key In a symbol of authority and symbolizes a lesal power to open the prison-house and to release the prison ers. Adamle death has been a legal penalty upon our race a Just penalty. But although all shared the condemna tion and weakness. Ood foresaw that Going to neglect your hair until it leaves you? Going to neglect your dandruff until vnu are bald ? Certainly not Then con about AVer's Hair Vigor. It color of the hair, fiffi- DAILY CAPITAL some of the race, if granted the oppor tunity, would gladly return to loyalty to His laws. He has, therefore, made provision through Jesus for every member of tbe race, great and small rich and poor. World-wide redemp tion will be provided and world-wide opportunity for the coming to a knowl edge of the Truth and for being up lifted or resurrected will be a (forded Tbe right or power to release mankind from the power of death and from the prison:house of the tomb, eol, hade. the grave, Is represented by Jthe ley In the hands of Messiah. He gained that key, that rightful authority to set us free from the grave, by the redemption which He accomplished for us at Cal vary. This figure of tbe prison-house was used also by the Lord through Isalnh the Prophet Is It not written that tbe Lord was anointed to preach a mes sage of good tidings to the meek, to bind up the broken-hearted, to pro claim liberty to the captives of Sin and Death and the opening of the prison house of death to those that are bound? And did not Jesus apply this very prophecy to Himself? (Isaiah 1x1, 1; Luke iv. 18). Surely our Lord opened no earthly prison-doors at II ts first advent But Just as surely He fore told that He would open the prison doors and set all the captives free. His death, "the Just for tbe unjust" was In order that He might have tbe right ful authority to release the prisoners by nis death He secured the key. Eventually this glorious work will be consummated, and In tbe consumma tion of it the elect Church of this Gos pel, Age is invited to hnve a share. Hence the Church Is called out from tbe world first under a special Cove nant of sacrifice that she may with her Lord, the Redeemer, become part of the, Seed of Abraham on the spirit plane (Gnlatlans 111. 20). Hades Cast Into Gehenna. "And death and hell (hades) were cast Into the lake of fire. This Is the Second Death" (Revelation xx, 14). In the symbolic language of Reve lation, Messiah's reign ts described as a glorious opportunity for all man kind to come back Into harmony with tbe Almighty and to attain everlast ing life through the great Mediatorial Kingdom. The symbolic picture of which this text is a part, describes the establishment of Messiah's King dom, the saints of this Gospel Age be ing with Him In His throne, in His Kingdom, reigning with Him a Royal Priesthood (Revelation xx. 4-fl). The context further describes that period, in which all mankind shall be brought to a knowledge of the Truth, when nil will "stand before the great White Throne." Messiah's Judg ment Throne, to be tried, to be tested, to be proven whether tbey will ac cept or refuse tbe perfection and eter nal life which Divine mercy will then make possible for them. During that thousand years of Messiah's reign, as we have seen, death will be gradually swallowed up in victory. And ns the prisoners of the tomb are gradually re leased, the grave will be destroyed. wil be no more. The statement, death and hades wore cast Into the lake of fire, which Is the Second Death, is merely another way of explaining to us that Adumic death, and the grave connected therewith, will be superseded by the Second Deuth. Any of the. race who, by tbe close of tbe Mediatorial reign, will not have come up to perfection and will not, have gotten entirely free from the power of slu and the tomb, will them selves be responsible for their wrong condition, their Imperfection. The great Medintor will have done every thing right proper nnd necessary for all. Whoever then will come short of eternal life will himself only be to blame. And the trial time over, any not, fully delivered, any still beld by sin, and death, will be willingly beltr. and all such will be turned over to the Second Death, destruction, symbol ized by fire, from which there will be no recovery. Let It be remembered that the Val ley of Hlnnom, outside of Jerusalem the earthly, where only the vile refuse was destroyed, will find its antitype In the Second Death, symbolically rep resented as a lake of fire outside the New Jerusalem. In it will be con sumed utterly, completely, everything out of harmony wlth.the Divine will. The Wioked Returned to Sheol. In the New Testament, as we have seen, hades stands for the grave or stnte of death, which results from Adam's transgression; while Gehenna represents the Second Death, wbtcb will come only upon those who shall first have been delivered from the Adnmlc sentence, or shall have had at least a full opportunity for deliv erance and who will manifest their love for sin more than for righteous ness and who, therefore, will be sen tenced to the Second Death. But In the Old Testament there Is no distinctive word used to represent the Second Death the extinction which will he the penalty of pprsiinsil. wilful transgression. To meet the difficulty the word sheol Is nsed n second time. For Instance, we rend of some who will be wilfully wicked after enjoying a knowledge of the Truth not m-rely Inheritors of Imperfection nnd weak nesses which they hnve not overcome, but intelligently wilful slnners-"Tht kicked shall be returned to shml to gether with all people who forget Ood" (Psalm Ix. 17). In our Cnmmi-n V slon the prefix re Is Improperly omitted. The "wlrknT are only those who sin against light, knowledge and opportu nity, and only those can he snld to forget God who hnve once known nim who hnve been brought to a Knowledge of the Truth and turned from It. Truly, my hearers, the resur rection hope Is the great theme of the Bible We know some men who are so hardhealed that an ugur hpred In for four inches would bring nothing to the surface but bone shavings. A lot of people argue so long and loud about hell that they forget all about striving for heaven. JOCRJtAL, SALEM, ORKGOX. SA1XRDAV, MAY C, 1011.
