Jerusalem's doom ‘was rapidly apj Achlng and the temple was destined become desolate.

A fren- zied soldier sent a firebrand through one of the temple windows and it soon be- came a sheet of fire.

Christ’s Second Coming. Christ’s second coming is one of the most prominent truths in the New Testament. =~ Jesus drew from the teachings of the prophets in His refer- ences to His return. The darkening of the sun, moon and stars were bor- rowed from Isaiah and Ezekiel. Daniel predicted the coming of the Christ upon the clouds. He also predicted the time would come when the daily sac- rifices would be taken away from the ‘Temple, “and the abomination mlketh duollh" would be set up marked with distinctness the lwfu.l '-Im of Jacob’s trouble, referred to by Jeremiah.

We should be warned by the punishment that the evil servant re- ceived for ‘his profession without pos- session of real religion. Through his lack of faith in the Lord’s return, he became worldly in life and unfaithful in service. The great need of our times is Christian preparedness. Christian Preparedness. Jesus sought to impress the need of vigilance upon His followers in His parable of the 10 virgins. It is one of that gathers about the word itch” in the Master’s teachings. ‘The central truth is not “the time or exact ‘manner of Jesus' second coming, but rather our need of being watchful and prepared for that coming, whenever it may be.” The tragedy of the five fool- ish virgins warns us against our ignor- ing our duty to God.

There is a difference of opinion as to who.are meant by the five foolish virgins. Some hold t they represent the nominal professors, who have made a profes- sion, but did not possess the real vital experience of regeneration and religion. Some believe that they refer to the worldly Christians, who, through their neglect of their own spiritual life and service, will not be prepared to wel- come their Lord when He returns. Oil is a type of the holy spirit. Some hold that only those Christians who are filled with the holy spirit wm be " pre- red for Christ'’s. coming to assume kingdom. Regardless of one’s bellef in the character of the second coming of Christ, we should individually fen!w our spiritual life through the study of God's Holy Bible and by means of daily communion with the Father and active service in vcarrying out the Master's commands to win the world for Him. He will not come until the gospel preached to all nations. “The restless millions wait the light Whue _coming maketh all things Chrm .lune waits, but, men are slow d la te; ane we done what we could? Have I? Have'you?” The difference between the wise and foolish virgins was not in their outward appearance, but in their preparation. The foolish were not ready. eir lack could not be supplied by others. They lgcked the spiritual preparation. The Master repudiated them, and they were shut out, like the evil servant. Only as we are busy about the work of es- tablishing Chfin's kingdom among men can we be ready to meet Him when He comes. We must be prepared for His return at any time. “Take ye watch and vny. {or yl know not when oy oy bt hile Hiie "He "delays His may tarry, bu w e He delays we should be alert, aggressive coming the | and active in trying to advance His king- dom. “Watch, therefore, for ye neither know the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh.” “Blessed is that servant whom the Lord when He cometh shall find so doing.” REV.

The question arises as to whether “Elohim” or “Yahweh" i e ol:ler tem. The Toot of “Hah!.m” ‘pam" and, therefore, a nmrk: name "mmm“ is the vhlnl form of the word and means “gods.” ‘The Hebrews seem to have grouped the various “els” or “gods” under the comprehensive mm:ept “Elohim,” which expressed the inclusive and singlar sense of God as the one all holy ate of the uni- verse. This “Elohim” was ultimately called “Yahweh.” The origin of the later name is somewhat obscure. I one Bibical document Moses is said to have used it for the first time (see Exodus vi, 2 and 3). But in another document it is implied that the name “God” had already been used by the patriarchs (see Exodus iii, 13-15). ‘The questions involve a full discus- sion of the origin, priority and rela- the various Pentateuchal tion | documents which cannot be zlvan here. looking forward to the future ding of an odnuuoml unit to the church.

What is meant by Revelation xv, 2-4, which speaks of over '.he blllt‘l ‘What is t.he significance of mark, image and the number of his mmedwhenhefledmmwmm? Midian in the Sinaitic peninsula. There, as you may recall, he met Jethro, the priest of the land, and married his daughter. Moses felt he could not worship this Nature deity, which may have been a fire god. But he identified Yahwek, apparently derived from the Hebrew verb meaning “the existent” or “the dependable” or “the eternal one,” with the “Elohim” of his fathers; after which he returned to t to deliver Israel in the name ard in the strength of ‘Yahweh-Elohim. Just how much -content Moses put into this great name is not easily de- termined. But we know that in the period covered by the. Book of Judges '.he people regarded Yahweh as simply their tribal god. It was left to the mighty prophets of the House of Israel to give the name of Deity a rich, ethi- cal content, and to conceive Yahweh as the God of the heavens and the earth, utterly righteous and universally |y, supreme. Q. What course would you suggest adopting for the instruction of a class of young people who lre candidates for church membership? A. An effective course should include the essential doctrines of the faith of the church these young people are to join. Exemplify ‘and strengthen their instruction in these doctrines by the A. Two beasts figure in this book. ‘The first comes up out of the sea and is patterned after the fourth beast men- tioned in chapter 7 of the Book of Daniel, verses 2 to 7. That beast was used by the pi Arhn to typify the Greek kingdom of Alexander and his suc- cessors. After the conquests of Pompey in the first century B. C. the fourth beast of Daniel was identified with the Roman state, hence the first beast in Revela- tions represents the Roman Empire. ‘The second beast, which comes from the hinterland, r:presemts the leaders of the nationalistic cult who persecuted the early CI s who refused to worship the imperial image. © The “mark” was an external sign affixed to those who conformed to that worship. None but these devotees could possess it. The “image” mentioned was that of the emperor. " Statues were re- gnrded by paganism as the means by gods and demons entered into Xellowlmp with their worshipers, and the power to work miracles was often attributed to such images. The “number of the beast's name” refers either to 666 or 616, which was its numerical symbol. This number 15 _com) of the numerical equiva- lents of the Hebrew letters forming the name “New Kaiser” or “Neron Kaiser.” The victory over the beast was won by those believers who were loyal to their Lord even lt the cost of life.
