I Make Q Inspect our I shades. A King's! The Millennium. Editor County Record:? The great cause of so much misunderstanding about the Millennium among Christian people is that they do not read and study the articles of faith set forth by their own churches. Baptist Church Directory, page 561, article 20 ("The World to Come"): "We believe the Scriptures teach that the end.of the world is ap-' proacbing; that at the last day Christ . will descend from Heaven and raise the dead from the grave for final! retribution; that a solemn separation will then take place; that the! wicked will be adjudged to endless sorrow, and the righteous to endless I joy, and this judgment will fix forever the final state of men in Heaven V or hell on principles of righteousness.'' See 1st Peter iv:7: "But the end of all things is at hand; be ye therefore sober and watch unto prayer." Acts i:ll: "This same Jesus which is taken up from you into Heaven shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into Heaven." Very many more passages can be cited in the Old and New Testaments. Methodist Discipline, page 2, article 3: "Christ did truly rise again from the dead and took again His body, with all things appertaining to the perfection of man's nature, wherewith He ascended into Heaven, and there sitteth until He return to judge all men at the last day." To suppose that these great, good and intelligent people made a mistake is to conclude that we are wiser than they, which would be intolerable ignorance. I often thank God for such safe leaders in His churches and rejoice to overflowing in the fact that we shall have them to the end. God will have men at the head able to lead us safely by His Word and Spirit.no matter what men and devilslmay teach. Instead of concluding Jwe are ahead of the church, may| God open our eyes to see how far behind we are. I often sing with Dr Watts: To Thee our spirits fly With infinite desire; And vet how far from Thee we lie; 0, Jesus, raise us higher. Let us turn to Revelations, 20th ' ? ?i ? ,-.1/^ Kf, cnapier, wntrtr ?u ihbuj nuuni-m, teachers and leaders think that they have Scripture for the Millennium. Verse 4: "And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." : God alone can teach His Word. Scripture must explain Scripture. 1 The context here: Gospel of John, i v:22, 2d Cor v:10, 1st Thes iv: 15-17. Another Scripture shows that all judgment is committed to the Son by the Father, and that in the i church while on earth there will be corruptions within and temptations without, there will be hypocrites.there will be offences. Though freedom from all these will at that i time De more tnan usuai, yei tatting up the cross and living: conformed to Christ in His sufferings will be duties belonging to saints while the world endures, hence there is no ground in these or any other Scriptures for millenniums. It seems not probable, because the Scriptures are silent about it. To expect Christ to come and reign a thousand years on j earth with His church is not taught in the Word. It does not say He reigned with them, but they reigned with Him, denoting that His kingdom is spiritual, consisting in purity and peace, righteousness and joy in the Holy Ghost. For various reasons: first, if Christ came He would be no use to His saints. He is glorified; the saints are not and cannot be till the resurrection, therefore they Daylight teautifal line of: enlanriirl linp nf opivuuiu llii v VI ree Dry could not talk with Christ. Second, what will become of the saints dur" x 1 ?t/vA?*a PKriot'o II1J? LflUUSttUU )Cfll9 Ui VWiigi.v>| supposed presence with them? Will j they live all that thousand years or die during the time? It is unreason- j able to suppose that they will live, j and if they die and go to Heaven, they will yo from Christ and Heaven will be an indescribable place with-! out Him. It wiK be too melancholy | a place if Christ be not there. "His presence makes our paradise, and where He is, is Heaven." The living and reigning with Christ holds forth the flourishing condition of the church militant. The expression, "sitting on thrones," speaks an honorable condition that the church will certainly be in after the downfall of anti-Christ, and the term of a thousand shows that it will be the longest happy condition that the church avar pninvpd /Jaatpn T,nrd. this .glorious time; help all to be ready to meet Him.
