aad plan

A fonrth world, or a foirrtli heaven, is 11om11erenamed ill the
Bible or nsaociated mitli the past, prcsc~it.,orfntr~re,of man; btlt.
three
heavens and
three
eartlis, are distir~ctly~nentio~~ed.
'i
worlds must bc
recognized.-Not
t
IC
11ca\.cn,earth, and hell, of
the catechism;
but
tlie world tliat
wns
before the flood; "tl~is
present evil world;" and
"
the world to comc." Apt1 all that
God has revealed of man or his dcstiay, is associated ~vit,liol~e
or more of tlicse worlds. And tlicy follow cach other; that is,
ao t\vo exist at one and the snme time; hence the Bible is a pro-
gressive science.
If the above is trne?tlie wllole of Ilevclntion, wllcn 1)roperly
handled, will arwl~ge

arid promises, will prove snsccpdblc of pcrfcct orgyization,
ev-
cry part taking its true place.

tairied from Genesis to Rcvelntion, much of tllc obscurity con-
nected with tlie plan of salvation would I'RII~SII;a~id

itself into one grand syste~ii. Aiid tlic (Ic-
t.ails, instcad of beii~g
a
conf~~sed
disti~~ct
a cliai~geof diq)enfia-
tion; as is provcn, not only by tllc facts conncotcd with the flood,
but also by positive Scriptnre testimony. At the flood the wa-
tCrs rosc uiitll tile liills \rere covered, and the11 the monntait~s;
and
when
the waters subsided, the tops of tl~cmou~itainsand tho
llills a11 cared again. Ai~d

"so Nonli ki~ew

sign of tlic waters having abatcd. Tl~usit appears tlicre was
little or

cliangc of the earth, or Iierrvens, but simply
a
grcat
destruction
of life. And yet tllc Iai~g~iagc,
taker1 literally, \vould
imply a total annihilation of both hca~eiisand cnl-tli; :rrid tl~c
one "that now is," is ~ncntioiicdas
a~aothcr
hesrei~saiid cartl~,
wllich, in turn, is to
"
pass away," not with a grcat flood, but 1ritl1
a grcat ~ioisc." And yet the general teaching of
Scripture
is
that the "passing away" of this present llcavcns and earth, is
only a change of dis )ensation, ntteiided with great
ncltio7aul
(lc-
struction. l~rI'liou,krcl, in tlie beginnilig bast 1:~iclthe fo1111d:t-

the Patriarchal age, reachieg from the flood to the death of Ja-
cob; the Jewish
age,
reaching to the death of Christ; and the
Gosl)el a e, reachmg to tlic first resurrection, and end of this
world. then follows
"
nga to comc
"
(Bplrc.
2:
7));
the firnt of
mliich is the millcnnial agc; or i-atllcr tho age of
colzquest,
for in
it Clirist is to
"
rcign until he has s~ibducd
Thcu the gos 1 was given that the
"
sced," wit
I
tlie Grent Cap-
tain of our sacation,
"
might be made pcrfcct through suflering."
The "Seed," means one complete Christ; in otller words, the
head and bod
;
"He aaith not, ancl
t.o
seeds,
as
of many; but
f
na of one, An
d
to thy Sccd, wliicli is Christ" (Gnl.
3:
16
.
"And
if y.c be Cllrist's then are ye Abr:~t~aiii's
1
lieira according to the promise
"
Ye=.
29)
.
Thus the object and
sced [not scc s], and
ivork of the gospcl is to perfect t iis L'seccl," tho~ewho are
to
take the name of Christ, and bcconlc one with him. And this
agrees
wit.h
Acts
16: 14;
"
Simeon llntli declared how Godatthe
first did visit tho Gentiles, to taka out of
name.**
And this
is
the sole object of
tiles; not
to
convert tlie world, that work
nial age, but to perfect the second Adam
Christ and his wife. And tho millennia1 age
is
introdnced
by
the marriapc of tho Lamb;
"
Let us be glad and rejoice, and
give
Ironor
to
him; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and hie wife
hath madc lie~gelfready" (IZcv,
19:
7).
This world cnds with the second coming of Christ and the res-
urrection of this
"
seed;" just this nt~mberwho make up the body
of Christ, "Chriet, the first frtiite, afterwards the that arc
Christ's, at his cominq" And then it iq the work o the snlva-
tion of the
worM
begl~is.
I
All that wsa lost
ill
Adam, is to bc restored in the second
Ad-
am. And this "restitntion of all tl~ing,"beginsonly atthe scc-
ond advent:
"
Itcpcnt ye tliercfore, and beconvcrtcd, that your
sins may be blotted out., when tlic timcs of refreshing shall comc
from the prescncc of the Lord, and he shdl send Jesus Christ,
which before
lwne
preached unto you; whom tlic heaven must re-
ccive
until
the timcs of rcstitlrtion of dlthings; which God hath
spoken by the mouth of all his holy pro1)licte since tlio world

gan

(1.
Cor.
15:
26).
In the world that was before tho flood, man was without law
or national
government;
and the result wasutter corruption. In
tlic world that now
ia,
a
system of gradual development
has
ob-
tained. Under the patriarchal age a peoplc were called out; af-
tcr which, "the law. was a schoolm.zster to brin ris to Chri~t."
