J HE Omn dynasty o: Israel was a j I j successful or.o according to world? ly standards, but a failure from the i Divine standpoint Omri, a great general. f succeeded to Israel's throne after the 3 death of Jeroi urn He was very sucj cessful and conquered the Moabltes, to f the East of the Jordan, putting them uni der an annual tribute of the fleece of two { hundred thousand sheep. He built a new ) Capital, the city of Samaria, and succesaj j fully outranked Jeroboam as a mlsleader f , of his people, along religious lines. Aci cording to Israel's Covenant with the Alf I mighty there was but the one^Levltical i priesthood and the one holy temple of Jehovah's presence for the whole people of Israel, and it was at Jerusalem. As i worldly wisdom guided Jeroboam to com pletely separate the ten tribes from the 5 two tribes by establishing new places of i worship and simplifying the worship and ) symbolizing God by a golden calf, so the ~ same spirit 01 wonuiy wisuuiu suaseaicu f to Omrt a still fur| ther departure _ j < from God and a f f/~ 1 f still closer ap- ' / J ?/?!! proach to the cus- f ( j torn? and Idolatry _ of surrounding na- ^ ^ Omrl died, or, ac- "Vs cording to the records. "Omrl slept with his fathers." We are not from this declaration to e draw the Inference v f that as a wicked % ~ J man he went to ( eternal torment \_-r-?jC^ 2 and that the na- f^p^^yTfrl < ture of the tor- j YfOSw [ ment Is sleep. Nel- y LGf. think of Omrl as saintly and going to heaven and to I imagine that those <Vi in heaven are *.U asleep. Neltherare we to think of him a Moabite /lock of tktmp. as having gone to Purgatory snd that the experiences there are drowsy. We must leave all such unscrlptural notions respecting the dead, good and had. We must come back to the Bible and from it learn that all who die, like St. Stephen (Acts 7:60), fall asleep to await the morning of the resurrection, when the Redeemer will call all forth from the tomb (John 5:28, 29. Rev. Ver.) Ahab and Jazabal Ahabs name signifies, "Like his father." And surely he was! His name was appropriate. His was a reign still J more successful in unrighteousness. For J twenty-two years he devoted himself to 1 the further undermining of true religion f and to the introduction of the worst ) forms af licentious, heathen Idolatry. He I was greatly assisted in this course by his wife?Jesebel, the daughter of the King I of the 8idonians. Her name signifies !etests; yet she used her great influence with her husband and throughout the nation for the furtherance of unchastity in f connection with the oryiat known as the i rtliflouM Hies sad ceremsafes, connected 7 with the worship of Baal and of "AshtoJ rath." the female divinity worshipped. ; Lessons Hara For Us I All civilised people are deeply Interest? ad in earthly governments and their sue; cess. We all crave social and financial t prosperity. Nevertheless it is still true i that prosperity Is Injurious in proportion i u It separates the people from the Divine ? arrangements and the blessings which I thereto attach. Only righteousness can ) truly exalt a nation. Every form of inljf ouity la injurious, however it may at the I time seem contrary to this. Ours is the Iday or the greatest woriaiy iKusycui; this earth has ever known. But alas! It la not a day of religious prosperity. On * the contrary, there never was a time f when unbelief in a persona] God and in ? the Bible as his revelation was so general i, amongst Intelligent people. Our church ji edifices are becoming temples of fashion. (concert and lecture halls, while the real worship which alone is pleasing to the Almighty is far removed. The worship of Mammon, the bowing to the golden calf, the sacrificing of lives to the acquirement of wealth, belong to our day as truly as to that of Ahab?but on a more refined scale and therefore the more deceptive and insidious. 5 Continually we find that God uses the \ i wrath of man to praise him. The effect f I of the prosperity of Ahab and Jezebel was f | two-fold: it en* 1 " Ha. !| graded one class, i while '* aroused i an(j separated !' f !] 'rom 'lso" another class?those who i worshipped God In , f'yZpP^ C spirit and in truth.

Antitypical Ahab and Jezebel As all Christian students know, Jezebel. " Ahab and Elijah were used of the Lord as types, and their experiences foreshad' owed much greater things in the experience of the Church, spiritual Israel, during this Gospel Age. Ahab typified civil power. Jezebel typi1 fled a religious system. The improper marriage of Ahab and Jezebel, contrary 1 to the Jewish Law, typified the marriage ^ or union of Church and State. The progress of evil under this union is portrayed in the Book of Revelation, where Jezebel is specially mentioned by name. (Rev. 1 2:20-23.) The Lord charged that the antl. typical Jezebel, the Church system, was suffered or permitted to teach and seduce ) his people from the proper course of Christian living. The same Scriptures represent Elijah, who was persecuted by Jezebel, through her husband, as a type / of truo believers of this Age persecuted ?;- a false Church through the arm ot civil power.
