Utble CrutH 11HE GOSPEL, PROPHESY, AND POLITICS." Although clergy o£ all denominations teach, and people generally have been led to beleive, that the revelation from God contained in the Scriptures relates exclusively to the " soul," yet it stands out from almost every page of the sacred volume, that God has a mighty work to perform in the earth, apart from personal salvation at the resurrection; and that is, to establish on the shattered remnants of the present social and political structures, a new organisation of the social state, with new habits, new enjoyments, and. new aims, all regulated and harmonised by governors possessing both the will and the power to preserve order, enforce otygdience, and perform the most beneficient actions. Does the reader believe that the Bible contains a revelation of God’s purposes to mankind? —that as it says, it is, “A SURE WORD OP PROPHECY, TO WHICH WE DO WELL TO TAKE HEED, AS TO A LIGHT SHINING IN A DARK PLACE?” (2 Pet 1:19). If so, let him note that the Gospel itself is a great prophesy of what shall be in the age coming; for to deny that one can khow beforehand what is to come to pass, is to affirm that we cannot understand the gospel, for THE GOSPEL IS GLAD TIDINGS OF WHAT IS TO BE to all nations. It is the report of good things promised. That which has already been fulfilled in Jesus, is an assurance that what remains will certainly be accomplished also Tlie intelligent believer foresees the crashing down of thrones: the abolition of all kingdoms, empires, and republics; the setting up of a divine monarchy in Israel’s land; the blessedness of all nations UNDER THE GOVERNMENT OF MESSIAH and his brethren; and THE WILL OF GOD DONE ON EARTH as it is done in heaven (Mat. 6:10). The Bible, in short, intelligently understood and believed, DELIVERS ONE FROM ALL DOUBT, He knows of a certainty, that the future and unseen world has no present existence any more than next week has. HE KNOWS THAT IT IS COMING, and that when it arrives (Acts 3:20 —25) it will be a constitution UNDER WHICH ISRAEL AND JUDAH WILL BE A UNITED NATION under Christ and the saints, forming the kingdom of God to which, dominion over the British Empire, and all other nations to earth’s utmost bounds, will bo annexed. He has no doubt about this. But to those who believe not, all is darkness and perplexity. AND WILL CONTINUE SO TO BE, till the reality opens upon their astonished ignorance WITH TERRIBLE EFFECT. If man prefers to place his trust in “ pacts ’’ of human devising. WHICH SHALL ALL PROVE ABORTIVE, he doubtless will experience the penalty due to those who put their trust in man in whom there is no help;” Psa (146.3) for no “pact” of human devising shall avert the “ time of trouble such as never was,” since the world hrean (Dan 12:1. Rev 16:181. which SHALL BREAK ALL SYSTEMS OF MAN’S CREATION EXTANT UPON EARTH, political, ecclesiastical and social, and thus in place thereof, establish “ His Kingdom ” which shall never be destroyed, “ WHICH SHALL , NEVER BE DESTROYED.” (Dan 2:44).
