his glory [the Second Advent], and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: and before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats.” The “ goat” class will go into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels (the “second death,” see Rev. 21: 8); while the “sheep” class will inherit the kingdom prepared for them ‘from the foundation of the world.”
70 The “wheat” class of the Jewish Harvest and of the Gospel Age, having been begotten of the Lord to the spirit nature (John 1: 11-13; 3: 7, 8), and being “ Sons of God” ina special sense, will have eternal life in heaven with God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ; but this privilege has been restricted to the faithful of this Gospel Age. The “sheep” class of the Millennial Age will not be called to lay down their lives, and will not, therefore, be begotten to the spirit nature (2 Cor. 6: 1, 2), but will regain all that was lost by Adam in the beginning. Paradise will be restored and all human beings, perfect as Adam was before the Fall, and “ crowned with glory and honour ”’ (Psa. 8: 4-9), will have communion with God and the holy angels. They will have dominion, also, ‘over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth.” Then will follow the ‘Ages to come” when the prayer which the Lord taught his disciples to offer will be fully answered, and the will of our Heavenly Father will be done on earth as it is done in heaven. These Ages will be ‘the days of heaven upon the earth” spoken of by Moses (Deut. 11: 21), for “the heavens are the Lord’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men ¥—Psae ito 16. ‘And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God him-
their eyes: and there shall be no more death, neither Sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful —Rey. Pe S85).
