GENESIS
1:26. God designs that man shall have the dominion of earth. He does not have that dominion yet, as explained in Hebrews 2:8,9, and he cannot have it until the Life-Giver returns and gives it.
1:28. If it is God's purpose to fill the earth with a race that shall be all righteous as declared by the prophet, Isaiah 60:21. The basin of the Amazon is so rich that nothing but a population of swarming billions could ever subdue the rank vegetation.
2:2, 3. It was the divine plan that man should have six one-thousand year days of toil under the great taskmaster, Sin, to be followed by a seventh one-thousand-year day of rest from it. This is here foreshadowed.
2:8,9. This is a picture of what the whole world is to become. The work we now see everywhere going on about us, of beautifying the earth, is part of the preparation for Messiah's reign.
3:15. The Messiah is to have the power to destroy Satan and all the works of Satan, one of which is death. When Messiah reigns, Satan will no longer have power to lead men into sin and death.
3:21. This looks forward to the sacrifice of the Lamb of God, and thus to provision for redeeming man from the curse of death.
3:22-24. God purposes that man shall live forever upon earth.
4:4. Abel's sacrifice looked forward to the all-sufficient one.
4:8. Abel's death represented the death of the Christ; it is the death of these that makes the future blessings sure.
8:21. In the passing over from "this present evil world" to "the world to come" God will not smite all, but will save some alive.
9:11. All flesh shall not be cut off again.
9:15. Again, "Millions now living will never die".

13:17. Abraham's promised inheritance is to be on the earth.
15:7-21. The word here rendered "whereby" conveys the thought of, "Please give me all the information available on the subject." The Lord answered in signs which we summarize:
Eleven symbolic years, the combined ages of these animals, equal 3,960 literal years. They begin to count, as appears from Genesis 16:3, "after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan" and this, as the Bible chronology shows, was about October 1, 2,036 B.C. 2,0351/4 years brings us down to the A.D. period and 1,9243/4 brings us to the full end of the 3,960. 1,924 full years of the A.D. period will end December 31, 1924 A.D. and 3/4 years more ends about October 1, 1925 A.D., at which time there is reason to believe that Abraham will come into possession of his inheritance.
The attendant phenomena seem to suggest that the vision will be fulfilled during the time of trouble, pictured by the "smoking furnace" at a time when the Lord Jesus will be present in his second advent as the light of the world, pictured as a "burning
Page 109

lamp". As ten is a symbol of national completeness the ten nations here mentioned seem to represent all the nations of the earth.
17:8. The everlasting inheritance of Abraham and his posterity is to be on earth. As some will never die and the time for them to appear is near it is reasonable to infer that co-inheritors now will never die, and there are millions of them.
17: 17-19. The name of Isaac, meaning "laughter"; the fact that he typified the Christ, as explained in Galatians 4:28; and the fact that he was the blesser of all his brethren, as here prophesied, prove that there will come a time when millions will never die.
18:18. All the nations of the earth, including the dead nations are here promised a blessing, implying their resurrection. When that time comes the living will be blessed with opportunities for life also.
19:17-22. As Lot and his two daughters were delivered from the destruction of literal Sodom and given a little city to live in, so it may be that many will be delivered from the destruction of churchianity, "that city which is spiritually called Sodom", Revelation 11:8, and permitted to live on into the new order of things.
21:14-19. The hopes of the world are knit up with the hopes of fleshly Israel, whom Ishmael represented, even as Isaac represented spiritual Israel. The hopes of Zionists were revived at the great Hippodrome meeting in 1910 when Pastor Russell delivered his address on Zionism in Prophecy to 5,500 Jews. Here the antitipical Ishmael, ready to die of thirst, was supplied with just the water of life most needed. This is a sign of the early approach of returning favor to the Jew, new manifest in Zionism.

15:26. This promise to fleshly Israel applies also to the world of mankind to the end of the gospel age.

16:23. It was the divine plan that man should have a great Sabbath day for recovery of living and dead from sin and death.

These 3500 years began with the entrance into Canaan in the spring of 1575 B.C., 15743/4 years before the A.D. era end will come to their full end in 19241/4, o about April 1, 1925, at which time we may expect the resurrection of the Ancient Worthies and the beginning of the blessing of all the families of the earth, living as well as dead.

NUMBERS
14:31-34. The last verse of this citation is one of the keys that unlock the time prophecies and one, therefore, by which we discern that the world has ended. There seems to be a parallelism in the preceding verses between the experiences of the professed people of God in this harvest time and the experiences of fleshly Israel there. We may see that the forty years wandering of spiritual Israel began in the fell of 1881. The ten unfaithful spies, the worldly clergy, rejected the restitution message as an awful message, a devilish message, and the people heeded them instead of heeding the truth. but it may well be that, literally, they and their systems shall fall to enter in, while their children, literally, shall have the promised inheritance. It may be that these worldly systems will go down lo the fall of 1921. Or the forty years may be viewed as beginning with the proclamation of the harvest message in 1878 and ending with the beginning of the downfall of ecclesiasticism, which took place in Russia lo 1918.

JOB
33:14-30. Elihu, not one of the three contenders with Job that were reproved by the Almighty, but a fourth one whose utterances seem to have been guided by the Lord, calls attention to the fact that God has repeatedly warned mankind during this night time of evil: that man has seen strange visions upon his creed bed throughout this period, but now that we are in the day of wrath he is getting his eyes and ears open. No longer shall man be permitted to follow their own plans. Then follows the history of a man that is sick, his pains, his failing appetite, his loss of flesh, all suggesting his speedy dissolution. Then he explains that if the time has come for the second advent of the Lord, the Messenger of the Covenant, God's interpreter of his own character, the fairest among ten thousand, God is gracious unto the sick one and says, in substance, He need not die, the ransom has been applied for him; if he will repent of his sins he may grow young again and live forever." 38 11-15. Evil is permitted only to a certain extent. Here its coming end is shown as associated with the fixed time for the coming of the Dayspring from on high. When he comes, in the language of verse 14 (Leeser) "She is changed as the sealing clay and all things stand as though newly clad". All things shall be made new; death shall be no more.

WATCH TOWER BIBLE & TRACT SOCIETY
BROOKLYN, N.Y., U.S.A.

BRANCHES: LONDON, W., MELBOURNE, CAPE TOWN, TORONTO, OREBRO, BARMEN, ZURICH, BERNE, ETC.
This Society never solicits donations, but it uses voluntary contributions as wisely and economically as possible in the propagation of Christian knowledge along the lines presented in SCRIPTURE STUDIES. It yearly circulates tons of tracts and papers free, through the mails and through voluntary agents.
It justifies that portion of its name which relates to the Bible (not by publishing Bibles, nor by circulating them gratuitously, but) by supplying Bibles and Bible-study helps at wholesale prices and often below the usual wholesale rates. We mention a few of these on accompanying Pages, of course ranking SCRIPTURE STUDIES as the most important helps or "Bible Keys", and THE WATCH TOWER, semi-monthly, their efficient supplement.
