Glasgow, Scot

Bible Btudents of
tills vlclulty num
bering hundreds
have held a three
days' convention.
Today's session,
attended by sever
al thousand, was
addressed by Tas
ter Knssell twice.
We report one of
his discourses, bas
ed on Revelation
4 A v
VLj. k.jH
xx, 5. It was announced that next
Sunday lie will address a similar con
vention In London, lie said:
The resurrection of the dead seems
to be the most difficult thing In the
Bible for the worldly-minded to grasp
by fulth. This must be because the hu
man mind Instinctively ' realizes the
majesty of the Power and Wisdom
necessary to the reproduction of the
same Individuality which lived and
thought centuries ago, before passing
Into the silence of the tomb. The Bi
ble makes no denial of the stupen
dousness of the resurrection miracle
n fur hi-vnnd the wildest fllchts of
human liuiiKlnatlon It confesses this
and culls upon us to exercise faith In
the erent Creator, the Omnipotent One,
whose greatness we can but feobly
sense uud surely cannot comprenena
Hence, the doctrine of the resurrec
tion of the dead, from Its first an
nnnm-pment In the Scrlotures. has call
ed for the strongest faith on the part
of believers and bus excited the gen
eral resentment of unbelievers, who
seem to Uud It easier to believe any
thlnit pIkp resnectliiE the dead. Un
doubtedly tills Is the reason why so
many who give evidence or general in
telligence accept the ubsurd theory that
when u dog dies he Is dead, but when
a man dies lie Is more alive than ever,
These nrnnorlv Hnlm to hone for
everlnstli'iB life, hut nut having faith
enough to believe lu the IMvine power
tn nerforni the resurrection or the
dead, they are driven to the theory of
Plato. Indeed, who has not heard
Plato quoted by ministers and other
learned men when dlHcussiug tue iu
ture life? They do not quote Jesus
and the Apostles, because the explana
tions of Jesus una the Apostles are an
tn the enutrurv. Droving that the dead
are dead, and that the only hope of a
future existence In by u resurrection.
Jeaua' Answer to the 8adduceea.
Note the answer of Jesus to the Sad'
ducees of His day, who, we are told,
sneelnllv denied the resurrection of
the dead. Jesus answered, "That the
innd r Ito bel raised was shown to
Moses at the burning bush," when
God's message was, "I am the God of
thv fathers, the God of Abraham ana
the God of Isaac and the God of Ja
mb." mark xll. 20; Acts vll. 32.)
Jesus commented that God would not
flpclnre Himself to be their God If they
fiend In the absolute sense that
brutes die. Jesus' argument was that
th fnnt that God still recocuized them
as persons while dead Implied that
their souls merely slept and will be
frrniitPil n resurrection of the aeaa, in
God's due time and in better bodles
nnder more favorable conditions than
thiB under which they died.
We remember that St Paul's letters
abound in references to
the dead. We call to mind his great
resurrection chapter (I Corinthians
vi in which he declares that "As all
die in Adam, so all shall be made alive
tn Christ every man In his own or
der." (Verses 22, 23.) He does not
m that every man i alive, but that
they shall be made alive in the resur
rection. The Intermediate Btnte he oe-
ptnrpit Ih fl sleen. from which, by DI
vine arrangement through Jesus, tbey
h-iii nil he wakened In the rcsurrec
Hon morning, at and after the second
cumins of Christ.
We remind you afresh of his positive
.tntement that It there De no resur
riw.Hnn nf the dead, then all whom we
have supposed have fallen asleep have
nnrlMhed iVerses 10-18.1 Hut mat
God Is able to raise all the dead he
declares Is demonstrated by the fact
that He raised un Jesus from the aeaa
on the third day; and so likewise on
the Third Pay of a larger scale the
third thousnnd-yenr day from the time
Jesus was nilsed-God will raise up all
those who have died because of Ad-
' am's sin
Timr Third Great Day. the Mlllen
will he the Great Seventh Day
or Sabbath. So to speak, our Lord
gave Himself a Ransom-price In the
Firth Dnv. from which the Seventh
would be the Third Day. the day of
l, wnrlrt'ii resurrection "the last
riiv"-the end of the present Week
nf MOO-venr davs In which sin and death
have reigned, ushering In the glorious
Enoch when God's will shall be done
on earth as It Is done in ueaven.
The Chief Rtsurrection.
The tenor of all the Scriptures to that
the Church alone will participate In the
First or Chief Resurrection the world
in general will buve no share la It.
Hearken to Jesus' words on this sub
ject, and note their expllcltness of
statement to the effect that all who
participate in this First Resurrection
will be the elect overcomcrs of this
Aire, and thev will be the Royal Prlosts.
or Priestly Kings, of the next Age, In
which the world will be dealt with
and, so far as willing, uplifted from
sin and death. He says, "Blessed and
holy are all tbey that have part In the
First Resurrection; on such the Becona
riAnth hnth no rawer; thev 'shall be
priests unto God, and unto Christ, and
shall reign with Ulm a thousand
years." Revelation zx, 8.
The word in this text rendered flm
ilirnlflos chief, foremost, tuocrior. It
will indeed bo first In order of time,
too; but the particular thought is that
It Is superior. Its superiority rests in
the fact that all who share in its bless
ings will not only attain life, full, per
fect and nverlnatlnir. hut nddltlonnllv
they will receive life on the highest
plane, Doing .maae partakers ol the
divine nature, by the "change" which
this resurrection will bring to them.
II reter 1, 4.
The fihnrerH nf this resurrection will
not only receive everlnstlne life, but
more, they will thereby bo made death-
proof immortal In the Bible sense, In
which It Is declared that God alone
bath immortality. God has also given
Immortality to our Redeemer In His
resurrection, and has promised the
same to the elect Church, the Bride,
cue minus Hue, in cms I'irst resur
rection. Asldo from these, so fur ns

Immortality goes to no other creatures
in the universe.

fallen, possess only the ordinary Im
mortality known as everlasting life

pondcut upon the Divine plensure and
supported by necessary elements of
Divine provision. The Church, on the
contrary, sharing in this Chief Resur
rection, will possess inherency of life,
tne same kina or immortality possess
tw hv Jehovah Himself.
From the context it will tin iteen that
none will participate in this Chief Ues
iirrecrlnn exepnt such fin fllinll success
fully pass their trial and be accounted
worthy of jolnt-helrshlp with Messiah
in His glorious Kingdom, for It Is dis
tinctly stated that they are to "reign
with Him a thousand years."
Sharing "His Resurrection."
From what wn have seen it must be
evident to all of us that to gain a
share In this Chief. Resurrection is to
gain the great Prize held out before
us In the Gospel Age the Prize which
our Lord referred to as the "Pearl of
great price," for which a man would
be well justified In selling all that be
has that he might purchase It.
It will be admitted on all bands that
the i?rpnt. Anostle Paul Is represented
amongst the loyal ones who sacrificed
every earthly interest, aim, hope ana
ambition that he might attain the
Kingdom blessings and Jolnt-helrshlp
with Christ We are tnereiore aeepiy
interested In St. Paul's words respect
in hla hone, his sacrifice and his an
ticipation of attaining a share in this
better resurrection, which he styles
'His Resurrection" namely, tne resur
rection of Christ
The Scriptures continually maintain
the thought that Jesus is the "Head of
the Church which Is His Body," and
that these saintly Elect constitute tne
members of nis Body. Carrying out
this flcure. the whole Body, nil the
members, should share in the same
resurrection as that experienced by tue
Head the Redeemer. Ana to tins
facts agree. More than eighteen cen
turies ago our Lord Jesus was raiseu
from the dead by the Father's power,
st Pnnl declares that because of His
obedience in carrying out the Divine
Program as our Redeemer even unto
death "Therefore God hath highly ex-
iitpil nitn. nnd hath Elvcn him-a name
fhnnor. station 1 above every name ex
cept Ills own He is excepted, that at
the name of Jesus every knee should
bow, both of things In lieuven ana
things on the earth." (Phlllppians 11, l.
10.) To this end we must all be
changed from earthly to heavenly na
ture, because "Flesh and blood can-
nnt Inherit the KlUL'dOUl. '
It seems a long time indeed between.
our Lord's resurrection nnd the resur
rection of His Mystical Body, the
Church class (Col. 1, 18. 24), but the pe
riod Is long only from our Ilmltea nuniun
urnnrlnnlnt not lone from the DHine
standpoint, in which a thousand years
are as one day. (II Peter ui, s.) tie
who brought again from the aeaa our
rird Jesus, that Great Shepherd of the
sheep, will bring us also Ifrom the
rton!1 hv TTlm." and wltn Ulm. B
mpmhern of His Body.
It la to this that St Paul refers Bay
ing, I count all earthly things but as
loss, that I may win Christ Iwln
mpmherslilD in His irlorlfled Bouy in
the Klnudom class, thntl might
know Him and the power of His resur
rection that I might experience that
cTent nower of God which In the Re
deemer's case lifted Him not only out
of death, but to the very highest plane
of existence, the divine nature, with
its dorr, honor and immortality,
helnff made conformable unto His
death, that I might share also in His
rpHiirrectlon. Phlllwrians Hi. 7-1L
Oh, the Apostle gives us the key to
hla hnneo; he did not hone that the
Heavenly Father, who had required of
Jesus a manifestation of His loyalty
nntn lonrh before He would crown Him
with lmmortnllty at Ills own right
hand he did not expect that this same
rind would nive him a share In that
great glory and honor, except as he
should have the mind or cunst ana
should demonstrate similarly his loy

"But the Rest of the Dead."
Th Htntemont of our text that the
rout nf the dead will not live until the
thousand years of Christ's reign are
finished has proven a stumbling moot
to many who have studied too super
ficially. Let us not forget that the
Rnlrlt does not reveal tho deep things
of God, except to those who search for
Truth "as men search for Bllver" pa
tently, persistently, dolvlng deeply.
It Is verv easy for all to grasp the
thnnirht that Messiah's Kingdom Is to
last a thousand years, and that all who
shall be alive at that time, an wno suan
bo born during that period, will partic
ipate In the wonderful blessings and
privileges which it win hring ro ma
hnmnn fnmllv. Thev are ready, too,
tn admit the reasonableness of giving
an equal opportunity to those of our
race who have gone aown into ueaui
mlfh plthnr no knowledtre of Christ, as
was tho case for four thousand yenrB,
or with the too limited knowieuge to
honpflt them, as has been the case dur
ing the nnst two thousand years, and
roday, only this text respecting ine
"rPRt. of the dead" Btands In their way.
t Biinnid ho clad If any such are pres
ent hero today, because I know I can
relieve them of their difficulty. lea, l
shftll be clad if my words through the
press shall reach many others who have
been perplexed by this scripture.
It is not necessary tor us to sei mm
Scrlnturo aside, even though all Bible
scholars know, or should know, that
Hilci nnrtlnn nf TlpVplntlon XX. 4. 0
which relates to "the rest of the dead
not nonln until the thou
sand years are finished" Is spurious
that It is not found in any of the old
Greek manuscripts. It is supposed
that It got into the text, not through
to eorrunt the same and
fnialfv the record, but that In the daya
when the manuscripts were copied by
pen, some copyist mado this memoran
dum nn the marsln of his manuscript
as a helpful thought, and that other

posed It to be a part or tne original
nnd Inpnrnnrntpn It In tne text.
However, tho additional woros are
in no sense in conflict with the facts,
which are these: Adam, created in
his Maker's likeness, perfect, was alive
In the sense that he enjoyed penec
Hnn nf Ufa nnd thnt be bad a right to
a life everlasting, except as he should
forfeit tho same by disobedience, 'ine
moment he disobeyed God's command
he came under the sentence of sin,
namely, death. From that moment on
nnnl he was ludlclally dead, even
Hinuirh the dvlne process lasted for
more than nine hundred years.
Rlmlliirlv all of his posterity, irom
tha TUvln.j stnndnolnt are dead, "chil
dren of wroth." Jesus carried out
this same thought in Ills teaching,
snvlncr. "Let the dead bury their dead."
Only those who have accepted Him as
their life-Elver are even reckoneuiy
enn sldcred alive, from tho Divine
atnndnnlnt
And so. throughout the thousana
rnnr nf Messiah's rclcn. "All In their
irrnvpo shall come forth." "every man
In his own order;" but they will still
be, from the Divine standpoint, juai
r-iniiir dand without the rlht to ever
lasting llfo. The work of the Lord
Jesus, as the Great Prophet, priest,
King and Judge, and the Church wltn
mm. will be the instruction nna as
sistance of these for their gradual up-
liftlne out of sin and weakness ana
Imperfection toward perfection - to
ward acceptance with God towara ev.
prlnstlnc life. Such as reject the as
sistance offered will die the Second
nnnth. Such aB avail themselves of
the blessed privileges of tbut time will
nttnln human perfection. But sun
Hipv will not have everlasting life ac
corded to them. They will merely be
in a cood. suitable and ready condl
tlon for God to Krnnt them everlasting
life, If they shall stand His tests.
The tests for eternal lite win come
nt th close of the Messlunlc relgn-
when the great Mediator between God
and men, having accomplished His
work of restitution of the race, shall
diillver over everything into tho hands
of the Father the hands of Justice.
EverinsUiiE life will not be given as a
mntter nf mercv. but as a matter of
Justice to those who will demonstrate
their loyalty and worthiness or ever
inqtlnir life. The mercy of God will
be exercised In the bringing of them to
this condition, where perfection In
word, deed and thought will be possible.
Tho ereat temntatlon which will then
come to all the world, through the
loosing of Satan-the temporary per
mission of evil in the world will dem
onstrate which of these resurrected
from the dead God can npprove and
consistently grant the great gift of
eternal life. All those who fall in their
trial will be destroyed with Satan In
the Second Death, while all who prove
their loyalty will be acknowledged
worthy of everlasting life.
Thus the rest of the dead, aside from
those now on trial, the Church class,
will not live In the full sense of Divine
recognition as worthy of everlasting
life, until the thousand years of Mes
siah's reign shall have ended.
But, beloved brethren, much ns we
are interested In the glorious blessings
that the Messlunlc Kingdom shall bring
to the world of mankind, the Lord
wishes us to be specially Interested In
the glorious opportunity and privilege
which He has accorded as of bavins;
fellowship with our Redeemer In the
suffering of this present time, and be
ing counted worthy to share with nim
In the glory which shall follow-lnto
