That there k mething radically wrong with the g a r -
dly accepted view d the dcrtrine of tbe punishment of the
wicked is w r y manifest froin thc standpoint of reason, in
that, instead of revealing the righteousness of God, it
greatly mivtEpresents bib glorious cbatacter of love and jw-
tie, wisdom and paver. And from a Scriptttrdl standpoint
we have no hesitancy in a&ming whst wc 91.c abund-
antly prepared ta proi't, that it is far astray fronl the truth,
md that the paaition of its advocates is wholly unwnablt.
That its advocntcb tb~m~e1ves have lit& or no Mth in it
is very msnifest from the fact tfut it has no power over their
course of action. While 911 the denominations of Christ-
endom p f c f i to beiftve the doctrine that eternal torment
and endla, hopclcss dcqhir will constitute the puniohmant
of the wicked, they are all quite at case in allowing ths.

indiflerent about investigating the sub* of L'everlasting

Only one exception can we think of-those who hold the
ultra-Calvinistic doEtrine; who believe t\uU God ba9 de-
creed it thus, that all tht efforts they cotrld put forth a u l d
not alter the r&t with a single pason, and that all the

as &or? for theit fellows is conmed, but why sing the

The d&rine of eternal torment was introduced by Pa-
pacy to induce pagan6 to join ha system and support h a
prtesthood. It flourLhi at the same time that bull

love of their neighbon was often shown in torturing heretics
to induce them to recant and deny their faith and their
Bibles-to save them, if possible, thcy cq~l:~tned,from the
more awtful future of hereticu,-etental torture. T h y did
not h m w this dothine from the heathen, for no heathen
people in the world hnve a d d r i n e so crnd, so fiuidish and
so unjust. Find it, wi~ocvercan, and show it up in all its
blackness, that, if p d b l e , it may be shqwn that the essence
of brbarism, malice, hate md ungodliness has been
uclwivtly appropriated by rhcne whom God has mos!
highly favored with light from every qwter, and to whoru he
has committed tho only oncl+his Word. Oh 1 the shame
and conlusion that will c o v e the faeejof many, even good
men, who verily thought that they did God mice while
prop~g~ting tkis bloaphemous doctrine, whcn they awake in
the raurreftion, to l a m of tbc love end justice of God,

trine forced into Papacy, and which swelled her numbcrs
and her wealth, diluted what littte truth was held befare,
and mingled it w i t h their unholy sentimenrs and emm so
that, to maot the chngad coirdition of things, the "clergy '@
found it needful ta add error to error, and to rerwrt to

BELL, AN ENGLISH WORD.

l a the fimt plact bear in mind that the bid TWammt

New Testament in the Greefc, The word "hell " is am b g -
Iish word sometima selettod by the tnurshton of the Eng-
lish Bible to a t p m the seaac of the Hebrew word rkol and
the Greek words Aahs, tIwl.ivoa and gehmw. T h e s ~ c
words are rEso sometimes rendered "gmvc" a d "pit."

trrn ctf the K e v i d V e ~ i o nhad bcen thoroughly dim-
tilnglt-I from r h o Papal emr, and thorougitly honest, they
~rhoaldhi~veclone more to help the English student than
hncl c1y to sutwztitute the Hebrew word sheof and the Creck
cwc~ttl ha,ifs, as they have done. They should have trans-
Ltftrl rl~rwords. But theywere cvidendy afraid to tell the
trtrrk. anti ashamed to tell the lie, and so gave tis sAruI
2nd brrdts unttmslated, and permitted the inference that
tli- words rnem the same as the word hell." Their
ojursr, while it for a time shidds themsetocs, dixhonon Cod
3 r d the Bible, which the people still stapposeteaches a %dl"
of torment in the words sk31 and frRdcs. Yet anyone can
w that if it was proper to tra~ilattthe word shtd thirty-
one ttnlcs "grave" slrd three time '&pit,"it coitld not ha~e
h n Improper to have so rrsnslated i t in every other in-
stance.
A [~~uliarity to be o k n w i in comparing these cases, so
we will do shortly, is that in those texts where the tonnelrt
irlm would be an absurdity the King James translatots
hnw us& the words "grave" or '(pit ;" while in ail
other cases they have used the ward "1~11; " and the teadcr,
long xkooled in the Prrlxil idea of torment, reads the word
vehcll" and thinks of it as a place of" torment, in-
stud of the grave, thc hidden or covered place or condition.
For m m p b , compare Job 14:13 with Psa. 86:r3.-Thc
former tlpdg,-ctOh, that thou wouldst hide me in t h g n r v r
[slacoi], ac,"while the htter ma&,-"Thou hast d e l i d
my soul from the lowest A#&? [dheol]." The Htbmp word
being the Bame in both cases, there is no mason why the
pnre ward " p v e " should not be crslad in both.
White the mmshtoton, of the R c f o d o n times m e w r t
what ucMXbfc for their mental bias in this matt&, as tbay
were just bmking away ftom the old P8pd sptm, OW
modem tramhorn, specially those of the recent r e v i d
Bible, are not entitled to any such ansideration. T h e a 1 ~
i a i profissors and pastan of congregations consr'dcr that
they art justified in following the course of the reviaxs in
not explaining the meaning of either the Hebmw or Greek
words SMor A d s ; afld by their w of the words they
also give their confiding Ru& to understand that t%lcymcsa
a place of torture, a lake of fire. Whike attributing ra rhc
ignorant only the b a t of nxotivcu, it is maniftstly only du-
plicity and cowvdice which indttm edu~itedm a , who
know the truth on this subjdt, to prefer to continue to in-
fer the error.
But rertzemk that not all ministers know of ~hx:errors of
the tmdators, and deliberate1y c u v c ~at)J hide those wrors
from the people. Many, ind+lEd, do not know, having
n~nrctyaccepted, without inve?itigatioi~,the theories of their
seminary professors I t is the polaors and leanled ones
tvho are most blameworthy. h v e kept back the
truth about '' hell " for several mans. First, there is mi-
dcntly a sort of undtrsmdidg or Etiquette mnongthem, thot
if they wish to maintain their standing in the Nptofe9ioa"
they "must not tell tales out of acho01;" i. c., they must
not divulge profesional seems to the i4common peopk,"
?he "laity." Second, they dt fear that to let it be known
that they have been teaching an ululcsiphuoS doArinc for
yeam would h k down the popular mp& and rmxcna
for the clergy, the dcnomi~tionsaad the fhCbIogiCP1

will be the judgment of God,w h cha&

rtiwc untmnshted wordo hdp to support? Will he com-
wend these unfgithl~ll servants? Will he justify their

friends, and make known unto them his fnrther pbna (John
r 5 :r 4) that they may misrcprcsart t h a n a h t o -we
their own dignity and reverence? Will he continue totiend
fa& " l h i n p new an6 old," " meat in due season," to the
h o d o l d of faith, by the b d of the unfaithful servants?
No, such shall not continue to lx his mouthpieces or to
shepherd his flock. (Gzck. 34:g, 10.) He will choose in-
st&, as at the first advent, from irmoilg the laity--"the
common people "-mouth-piss, and will givc them words
which none of the chief pricsk ahdl be able to gainsay oz
rtsist. (Luke ZI :r5.) And, as fcbretold, "the wigdam of
their wise men shall perish, md the understanding of their
prudent men st~dlbc hid."-ha. ap:g-xg.
"HELL" IN THE OLD TESTASENT.
The word a s heti" occurs rhirtysne times in the Old
Tmtament, and in every instanmr i t is skol in the Hebrew.
It docs not mean a lakc of fire md brimstone, nor anything
at all ~~mnb1ing that thought: nor i n tht sZ&k~t&peel
Quite tfie reverse: instead of a p b of Mazing fue it is de-
scribed in the context asa Seateof "darkncnr " (Job x o : ~ ~ ) ;
instead of a piace when, shritka and groruur ue bard, it is
deacribod in the context 8s a pie# of "silence" {Pa.
rx~:x?); inrtrod of wpremtingin any sense pain m d d -
king, or remorse, the context dcscribs it ap one of forget-
fuhesr, (Fsa. 88 :I I, r 2.) "There b no work, nor &
vice, nor knowledge, io the grave [ s h / 3 whither thou
goeat."-Eccles. 9 :10.
The meaning of sRtol is, the M&en sWc, as applied to
man's condition in death, in and beyond which all is hid-
den, m p t to the eye of faith ; hence, by proper and clam
rosociation, the word was often used in the scnoe of g m n ~ - -
the iamb, the hidden p h , or place beyond which only
those who have the enlightened eye of the understanding
can scc r e s u d i o n , restitution of king. And be it par-
ticuiarly noted that this identical word skrol is h;inslatcd
*< pit" and '4gxave" thirty-four times in our common ver-
sion by thc sum trddm$-more ti- than it is mms-
latcd "hell;" and twice, where it is tmmkted "ht$l," it
seemed so absurd, according to the presmt accepted mean-
ing of the English word "hell," that, in the margin of mod-
em Bibles, the publishers explain that it means g~ayc. (ha.
x 4:g and Jonah 2 : 2 . ) In tht latter C ~ S Ethe
~ hidden state,
or grave, was the belly of the fish in which Jonah was buried
alive, and from which he cried YO God.

OTHER WWRRENCES OF THE WORD " H E W '
Having examined the ward s h , the original and only
word in the Old Testament for "hell," and the word lkulcs,
most frequently in the New Testament r e a d d d' hell," we
now notice wcq remaining instance in Scripture of tha
English word '*hell." In the New Tartamcnt two other
war& arr reDdcl+d +*hell ;" namcly, gkSmw a d tkwftmw,
we w i l l consider in the order awned
 " o ~ R [ ~ w N A , "RI*IDE- *' HIELL''
This word occurs in the following paaeagcs--in all twelve
rime:-Matt. 5:22, 29, 30; xo:z%; 18:g; z3:15, 33;
Mark 9: 43-47 ; Luke 12:s ; Jas. 3:5. It is the Grecian
triode of spelling the Hebrew words wllicE1 are imnslatd
"the Valley ofUinnom." This valley lay just outside the
city of J d e m , and served the purpose of sewer and gar-
lxqgz bwuer to that city. 'fie offal,garbage, trtc., wetc
emptied there, and fires were kept contir~uizilyburning to
r o m m utte~lyall things deposited therein, brimtone be-
ing added to assist combustion and instare complete dstruc-
t ion. But a living thing u?asnever cast into grhe~rra. ' ]:he
;eas were not pem~itrdto torture any creature.
'blrhen we cansider that in the people of IsraeI God was
giving us obj& lessons illustrating his dealings and p h s ,
rxtsent axid fhture, we should exix& that this Vailry of Hin-
rwm, or ge/rcrms, would also play its put in illustrating
zliings future. We know that Israel's priesthood and
trmpb ill~strated the Royal Priesthood, the Chrjsriin
Chnrch as it will be, the true temple of God; and we know
that their chief city was n figure of the New Jenrsalem, the
scat of kingdom power and centre of authority-the city
(government) of the Great King, Immanuel. We rwgn-
Ier, too, that Christ's govcrnrnent is represented in the
txruk of Revelation (Rev. zx : z o - z ~ ) under the figure of a
pity-the New f rrusaltrm. There, after describing the clPPs
!wn~ittedto enter the privileges and bldngs of that King-
r3r~m-the honorable and glorious, and all who Zuzvc right
~ trees of life-we find it dm d e c M that there s W
c i the
trc/ mttr it& 2 itythiag th;j defrleth, or that w w W
rh~miilation,or mltoth a lie; but only ~ u c has the Lamb
a b i l prite as worthy of iife. This city, ra;p-tlng the
m1md mr1d in the end of the MiUwniurn, wm typified
or mprcscnted in the d 1 y dty, f madem ; and the dchr-
e4 rn Soy * Scqjm?vtt

do not enter in, were teprccented by the refhe and the
bfthp, lifcim m~casasc s ~ tinto g c k w oudde the city,
for uttor destmcttion. Accordingly, wt find it stPtsd that
thaw not found worthy of life am to be cast into the '#lake
of firr" (Rcv. ao: x~>--)ire hm, aa emrywhar, bcing uscd

ing h w n from this same g~&-, or VItlley of Hfnnom.
ThurCorc, whik grhkaa scrvcd a useful la~poanto
the city of J&an aa a plaa for garbage burning, it, like
the city itself, waa typid, and illushrrred the future dcdings
of Cod in refusing md cominitting to destnrcrion atl tht

holy city, the New j d a n , after the trial of the Milla-

So, hen, grAnmo was a type or illusantion of the second
dutth--fid and c o m p h dt?smu:tion, from which therecan
be no racovay; for Plta that, "there remaincth no more
arnifica for sins," but only " f i q indignation which shill

But member that h l , for the purpose of being UBEd
as typs of God's future dding. with the race, waa typically
treated though the ransom had been given before they
left F a t , though only a typical lamb bpd been slain.

 aondmnation of 911 who, when granted firllat opportdtp,
rill not heartily submit to the righteous d i n g md laws of
the Great King.
M a g , then, that luael's polity, condition, erc., profig-
ured thw of the worid in the coming age, how appropriate
thpt we should find tho valley or thyas, ~ ~ I ~ l ua lfigure
o , of
the sceond death, the utter destruAion in the coming age of

the s p W , "lakc of ike burning with brimstone" {Rev.
xp :lo), dmwn from this m t e geAma, or Valley of Hin-
nom, borning continually with brimstone. T h e a p d o n ,
"burning with brimstone," adds force to the symbol, "fire,"
to cxpnss tlre utter and i r r c v 6 I a deoaucltivenees of the
mond death; for the lotcot dcdu&ions of xienrista are that
k i n g brimstone is the most daadly rynt known. HOW
~ n a b l ctoo,

fudge resembling or prefiguring such courts and judge in
the next age; and that the sentence of thoat (figurative)
courts of that (figumtive) people under those (fifrguntive)
laws, to that (fiSundve) &gap, ouddetttat (figurative) city,
would largely cormpond to the (real) sentences of the (red)
court and judges in the next age. If them paints am kept
in mind, they will p t l y absiat us in undrrstanding the
words of our Lord in refermce to geAenna; for though the

(I:xod, 1 3 ~ x 9 ;Heb. xr:a2; A i l s f : x s , 16.) Hence the

The same thought is contintred in

Thesc expressions of our Lord not only senvc to show us
rite pe+crch'm (Rom 7: 12) of God's Law, and how fufiy it
will be defined and enforced in the Millennium, but t l i q
e r v d as a lesson to the Jews also, who previordy raw

13rit this lesson thcy did nor learn, for the cam of their

understanding, and hearing to their dmf ears. Then the
"rail ahall be taken away"-& vail of ignomce, pride
and human wisdom which Satan now uses to blind the
worId to God's true law and true plan of salvation in Christ.
And not only did our Lord's teaching h e n sfsow the law
of dx New Covenant, and teach the Jew a lason, but it is of
lxnefit to the Eoapel Church slso. I n proportion aa we km

as will be shown. It fs a comparatively modern invention,

this life successfully), or to trial, as it must be to the great
majority who had not, in this pmsent life, come to the nec-
essary knowledge and opportunity essential to a hir trial.
Undcr divine arrangement men are nl4e to kill our bonics,
but nothing that they-= do will dect our kings (soula),*
which God has promised shall be revived ox restored by his
power in the resu&ion day--the Millennia1 age. Ow

is not to be feared, if theretry we gain divine approval.
Ow Lord's bidding then k, Fear not them which cea
terminate the prtsent (dying) life in i h e poor dying
bodis. Care little for it, its food, its clothing, its pleas-

Here it is conclusively shown that g c h a a , as a figure,
represented the second death-the utter destru6tjon whicb
must ensue in the csseof all r h o , after having fully r w i v e d
the opportunities of a future being or existence through our
Lord's sacrifice, prove thenrselves unworthy of God's giR,
and refuse to accept it, by refusing ots?dinncc to God'sjwt
requirements. For it dots not say that God will ~YCJENG
soul or body in grlrmno, but that in i t he can and will
dcstrr,y7' both. Thus we are ralsght that any who art
condemned to the second death are hopelessly and forever
blotted out of existence.

Our Lord wished to imp- the thought of the +t1-
.rarsand fiaality of the second death. All H-hogo into tke
recond death will be thoroughly and completely and forever
destroyed; no ransom will ever agoin be given for any
(Rom. 6 :9) ; for nane worthy of life will k cast into the
k d death, or lake of fim, but only those who lave un-
righteuusrm a b coming to the knowledge of the truth.
Not only in the above instances is the second death point-
417 illus&ted by g&nno, but it is evident that the ame
'kcher IIS4d the aame figure to repxaent the same thlng in
the syxnbolrP of Revelation, though them it b not called
&ema, h t a g'lakc of fire."

The class he* addressed was not the heathen who had no
knowledge of the truth, nor the lowet and maet igwuant
of the Jewish nation, but it was the Scribes and P h r u i
outwardly the most religious, md the leaders and teachers
of the people. To these our Lord said, 4 4 How u n ye
-pe the judgment o f g b n a f" These men were *h
criticd: they were not hue to thcir convictions of rha
truth. Abundant tmtimony ot the truth had bcm borne
to them, bat they refused to acccpt it, and endeavored to
counteract iu influence and to discournye the people from
accepting it. And in thus misting the holy spirit of light
and mth, they were hnrdcning their heartsagainst the v c y
W n c y which God designed for their bieseing. Hence t h y
w e wickedly resisting his G W C , and suchacourre, if pur-
sued, must eventually end fn, condemnation to the second
death, gckcmw. Every s&p in the direction of wifat
blindness snd opposition to the truth makes return more
difficult now, as then, and makes the wrong-doer more and
more of the character which God abhors, and which the
Second Ueatb is inended to utterly destroy. '& Scribes
and i'harisces were progressing rapidly in that course: hence
the warning inquiry of our Lord, "How can ye escape?"
a. Tlle *\se is, Although you boast of your piety, you

be counted worthy to be datroyed-the cksp for whom the

i s intended. One in thd attitude m y by his t o n p kindle
a p a t fire, a dcrtnt&ive disturbance, which, whereva it
has cent&, will work evil in the entire course of nature. A
few malicious words often amuse all the evil passions of the
speaker, engender the same in others aud m(5t upon the

m~fs the entire m=, and brings him under sentence pa ut-
tcrly wrworthy of fife.

PARABLE OF THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUS.
-Me r6ttg-38. -
The diffi'ity with ~ D M Yj33 d i n g thfs actiparre la
rht, though theynrgPtdit ariapa*rble, tkywamn on itand
d n w conclusions from it as though it w e a ltitenzl state-
inent. To regard it as a L i t 4 statement involws s e v d
nbsnrdities; for instance, that the rich man went to hell "
h a u s e he h d enjoyed many eorthlg Masings and gave
rrothing but cnunlwr to Lar;atus. Not r word is said about
his wickedness. Again, Iazaxus wrslr bid, not b0fau11c
fir wes B sinere child of God, full of faith and tnrst, not
kcawe he was good, but simply because Ire was pmr a d
ad. Xf this be inunpwted litcmily, the only logical hson
to be drawn G-om i t is, that unless wc M? bqgpm fuIl
of saw, we will never enter into futurr bliss; and that if
trow we w a r any fine linen and purple, and baw? plenty to
eat wuy b y , we are sun: of futmr t o m n t . Again, the
mveted of favor is "Abraham's basom ;" and if the
wbok rtawmcat be l i d , the &OSOM must Pbfo be firml,
mad i t utreitly would not hold vay mnny of earth's miltfon,
of Jck and poor.
Hut why mndder absurdities? As a parable, it is easy+of
interprelztioa. In a prabk the thing said is never the
thing meant. W e know this from our Xxrrd's own urplana-
tians of his panbles. When he said *'wheat," he meant
"children of the kingdom;" when he d d "tams," he
meant the children of the devil ;" when he said '"cap-
err;," his savants were to be undmtaod, ctc. (Matt 13.)
The same cbses \\*ererepresented by ddiE'errnt symbols in
di8erent pambles, Thus the '*wheat " of one parable corm
s p n d to the " faithful bcnrat~ts," and the "wise virgins" of
others. So, in this parable, the "rich mmon " rep&ntzl a
chs, and Lazanls repreeats another class.
In attempting to expotrnd a prattle wtch as this, an ex-
planation of which the Iarcf docs not furnish ns, modesty
in utprcgsing our opinion reprdi~lgit is certainly appropri-
ate. We therefore offer the following explanation without
any nntmpt to force our views t ~ p o the
i ~ reader, except so fat
ss hi own truth-enlightened judgment may commend them
as in accord with God's Word and plan. To o w under-
standing, Ab~irhamrepresented God, and the "rich man "
representer3 the Jewishnation. A t the rime of the utterance
of the parable, and for a long time prwio~ts,the Jews hed
#&fared sumptuolrsly every day '*-being the especial recipi-
tom of God's favom. As Paul says: "What advantage,
then, ha& the J w P Much every way : chidy, because to

time of the utterance of this parable, \$*erea~tirelydestitute
of those special divine blessiilp which Isracf et~joyed. 'I'lrey
lay at the gate of the rich man. No rich promises of ray-
aZty wcm theim ; not wen typically were they clemsed ; lntt,
rrl rnaral s i c k n a , potlution and sill, they were corn1mnions
of "dogs." D o e were regwdeci Z : L ~ riercstable creatures in
t h e days, and the typically r:lcw~ ]err. c sllfd the oukiden,
'chathen " and "do&*;," anti wor~itlttcver eat with them, nor
ntarry with them, nor havcany dealings with them. (fohn
1 :g.) As to how these ate of the "cnirnbs" of divine fa-
vor which fell from Irrmd's tnlJt of' I)bunti+u;, the X ~ r d ' s
words to the Syro-l,hrrcnician w70nlan give us a key. Re
aid to this Gentile woma~l---"ft is not meet [proper] to
tlke the children's [Israelites] bread and to cast it to
d o g [Gentiles]; " aad she amvered, '' l'nith, Lord, but the
dogs eat of the crumb that fall irom their miwter'a table."
(Matt. 15 :2G, 2.1.) Jesus hutlcd her daughter, thus giving
the desired crumb OF favor. But there came r time (when
as a nation they rej&edand crucified the Son o f God)when
their t).Ejical righteolxsnarr ceased-when the promise of
royalty cased ta be theirs, and the kingdom was t3Jtm from
them to LK given to a nation bringing forth thc fruits tiwmof
-the Gospel Church, "a holy nation, a peculiar people."
(Titus 2 : ~ 4 ; x Pet. a:?, 9 ; Matt. a r : ~ g . ) The "rich
nron " died to all these special advantages, and soon he (the
Jewish tation) found h i d f in a --off condition,-in
rribulstlon and &i&ion. In wch condition rk*a atrtfoh
h a s u f f d from that day to this.
LePvus aL#r died: the condition of thsr h m b k ~~
 and the "outcasts" of Iprnd undawcnt r chnnge, and from
them mcmy w m cam'ed by the angels ( ~ g ~ ~
etc.) to Abraham's bosom. Abrahem is r e p r ~ a ~ t G nedtha
falhm of the faithful, and receives dl the children of faith,
who are thus re~ogaizedas the heirs of all the promises madr?.
to Abntham ; for the c h i l h n of the Rcsh are not the chil.
den of God, " but the chiidren of the promise a n countoll
for the J&" (children of Abraham) ; which seed Ir
Christ ;"--ad s6 if ye be Christ's, then arc ye @IintersJ
Abraham's seed [childnn],and heirs according to the [Abm-
hamicJ promise." (Gal. 3 :29.) Y e , the tmination of
the condidon of things then existing was well illwnted by
the figure, dmth-the dissolution of the Jewish polity and
the withdm4 of the favors which Xsmel had so long en.
joyed. There the Jews were cast o@ and have since bern
shown "no favor," while the yoor Gentile, who before
hod bcar "aliens from the commonwealth (the poIityJ of
Israel and strangers from the covenant of promise [up to
this time given to Israzl only] having no hope and m i r W
God in the world," were then "made nigh by the b t d of
Christ" and reconciled to God.-Eph. 2 :I 2, I 3.

so fkr disregarded Moscs and the prophets that they did

It hap been truly said that '' Order is Heaven's fitM law;
yet fm, we tbink, have realized how ernphoticnlly this ir
me, In glancing back over the pIan of the ages, then i s
nothing which gives such conclusive evidence of a Divine
JXrector aa the order obmvsd fn all its pauta.
As we have seen, God has bad definite sad stated times
and seasons for every part of his work ; and in the end of
&of these seasonst h m b been a finishingup of that work
and a clearing OH of the rubbish, preparatory to the begin-
ning of the new work of the dispcnsatim ta follow. Thus
in the end of the first dispensation (from m i o n to the
flood), which, an we have seen, was p M under the controI
of the angels, then wss a fmishing work-en exhortation
through Noah to forsake sin and turn to righteot~css,aad
a warning of certain &bution. And when the nrd of
the time allotted for chat dispensation had come, thar wae
a wtledkion and saving of all that was worth saving, and a
clean sweeping desuu&ion of rill the refuse; and with that
which remained a new -tion bqp.
In the end of the Jewish age the same order is ob-
servcd-a harusting and complete separation of the wheat
cllss from the chaff, and an entire rejaion of the latter
clag from God's favor. With the few judged worthy
in the end of that age, a new age, i. c., the Gaspd age9
began; and now we find ourselves amidst the closing
scenes (the harvest) of thip age. The wheat and the tare9
which have grown together during thia age ore being aep
axat&. And with the iomnr of which our Lord
Jesus Is the Had, a new agc! is about to be i n w ~ ~ u m t d ,

penation, while the 'dtrm" h t n t L judgd uttab

through the pamble under considemtion that the ranre o r b
will LC 01r;crvcd with reference to thr: dirpPnPtJon to follaw
this Gospel age.
The harvest of the Jewish age ww l i k d to the sepuxa-
tion of w h a t fmm chaff; the harvest of this ag?r to tbescp-
anrtion of wheat f ~ m rtares; and tho isarvadt of the MiHen-

glory, and Wore him shall k gathered all nations; and he
shall eeparate them one from another, a shepherd divideth
hi sheep h r n the goats." As in the present llge every a&
of thase on trial (the Church) goes to make a pyt of that
charaCtu which, in due time, will determine the find deci-
sion of the Judge in our case, so nil1 it be wit11 the world
(the nations") in the age to c o w . As in the prcacnt age
the trial of the majority of the individual mcrnbew of the
Chuch en&, and thc decision of their casp is readhed, long
&low the end of the age ( 2 Tim. 4: ?, 81, so under the Mil-

But the righteous inquire why they aae crowned with guch

But while we do not find one v c w of the Bible saying
that this c h can have h3 in torment, or in any other con&-

*'The lake of fire and brimstone" is severat times men-
tioned in thebook of Revelation, which all Chriaians admit
to be a book of symbols. However, they pernHy think
and spealr of this particular symbol as a l i t 4 statement,
giving smng support to the torment d d r i n e , notwith-
staadhg the fad that the symbol is dearly ddined as mum-
ing the eccond death: '< And death and hdl were cast into
the W e @ f i e . Zb3 ri the second dedh," etc. (Rev.
so :14.) It is so4m+s spoken of as "a W e of fire burn-
ing with brimstone" (Rep, 19 :go), the element brimstone
being mentioned to intensify the symbol of des?niAion,
the second death, burning brimstone being one of the
m a t 8aadly efemenb known. I t is dartrucstive to all farms

The s.mbolism of this lake of fin: is further shown by the
faA that the symbolic bast and the aymbolic fake p p h e t ,
and death and hell [Aarlcs], as well as the devil and his fol-
lowers, am datmyd in it.-Rev. xg:zo; 2o:xo, 1 415;~
21 :8.
This desau6tion or death is called the second death in
contrrrdistinction to the First or Adamic death, ond net to
signify that everything which goes into it d i e a second
time. For instance, death (the first or Adamic death), and
M s , the e v e , are to be cast into it, which work will re-
quin the endre Millennium to accomplish it; and in n s
sense will they ever have been destroyed before. So Ito
the devil, the beast, and the fPlse p p b t t , will ncrrtt have
ken destroyed before.
From the Am, or Adamic death, a mum&ion has b n
provided. All that are in rbcir graves shall come forth.
T h e Revelator prophetically d a . M : '*?'he sea gave up the
dead which were in it, and death and hell [/rrrda 1 grave]
the
gave ttp the dead which were in them. ... And I saw
the dead, small and great, ataad before God, and the boob
were opened." (Rev. 20: rg, x 2.) It was in d e w of Gad'e
plna for deeming the race frtnn that fist dtsth that in both
thc Old and New Tataments it is called a us/c+." In
Ismel's history of che good and the wicked it is rcpe;rtadly
sctad that they "slept with their fathem." Il#Apatleb
uwi thr Pame symbol, and our Lord also. But no sncb
symbol is d in rcfermcc to the second dtrth. On tha
contrary, the strongest figures of total and utter dr~&wd&h
arc used to symbolize it ; vft., "fieand brbatone;9' be
cause that will be a dcatrutStion fmm which there will be no
recovery. Bksecd thaught 1 the Adamlc daath (which

 who bought the wbolc world with the Mnrificc of himaelf.
Thus Cod tells us through the Prophet, at I will m s o m them
from the power of the gxavc [sheoq. I wilt red- them
from death. ... 0 grave [sAzot] I wit1 be thy de-
stmaion." (Has. x3 :r 4) The first or Adamic death &all
no longer have libeny or power over men, as it has had for
the pist six thocearrd yeas; no longer sball my die for
Adoaa's sin. (Rom. 5:xz; Jet. 31 :29, 30; Ezek. r8:a.)
Thenceforth the New Covenant, sealed with the precious
Mood, shall bc in force, and only wi@irl trans-ions will
be cantad as sin and lmnishcd with tlte wages of s i n 4 a 1 t h
--the second d w h . l'has will the first death be cast into
and s w d l o d up by rhc second death. And kadcs and
~Aaal-thcdark, m t condition, the grave, whi& in the

m h i o n power in Orist-4jhall no more; for the

whom there rcrmaina a shadow of hole, Imt ssllch only as, by
the unemng Judge, have bee11 fully, imlsnially and indi-

tempter who deceived and ruined rrs dl, and who, with per-
sistent energy and cunning, has sought continually to thwart
the parpoac of God for our galvatiol~through Christ, with
all who arc of his spirit, his angels," shall be dedrqvcd', and
shall .nwa awake from death to troubk the world again.
Hen he M ald to becast into "tho lake of fin?,'' the second

ond d&, to dehle the earth again. All such, oftera fuU
and abundant opportunity for n(omation, will be judged
unworthy of life, and will be forever cut oB in the second
death, symbolized by the lake of fire and brimstone.
Scvcral prophetic pen piQurer; of the MilIonnial ng+ a d
its work, in chal>tersl a and za of Reatation, clearly ohow
the obj& mad result of that age of trid, in hanaony w-ith
the remainder of the Scriptures already noted.
Chapter 20,vcrscs s, 4, 11,witb verses I, t, lo, 11 of
chapter ar, show the buginning of the age of judgment, rurd
the r e d n i n g of blinding errors and misleading qatum.
The " hast " and the "false prophet " are the chid symbols,
md repnscnt the organizations or rpJtemrr of error which,
together, constitute Babylon. This judgment PgPinst the
"thronedL' of the plc4tnt time, and against "the b e a d
the f ' prophet" system foflowa spe-edily upon the in-
dtletion of this Mi11mnW jmfgmcnt reign. The thronss of
present dominion of a h will k "cew down,'' d the
domfnioa wand& to the great Prophet *od J+,
"whose right it is." (Compare Ran. ~ : r &2%; E#i.
t r :27.) And the aystans of emor will be speedily judged
worrhy of dczfm%m, a" Sake of fin?," "the raeond
death.'(-Rev. rp :20.
Thus the srrond dettu&ion (or dcath) bytine quite w i y
in Ihnew judgment: it begins with the false system qm-
txlliaed by the k t , false prophet, etc. But the sccond
death d l 1 not m h the world of mankind, as i n d i d d d ,
until t h y have fimt fiad ft~lltrial, with full opportunity to
JIooselifcand liveforwer. Clmpten 20: 12, r 3,and sr :p7,
indicate the b l e d , favoral~lctrial in which dl, both dead
and living (except the Church, who, with Jesus Christ, ue
kings, priests, joint-hein and judges), will fie brought to a
full knowledge of the truth, reliwcd from sorrow and pain,
and f d from e v q blinding error and prejudice, and tried
"according to their wonCz."
The grand w w m e of that trial wiU be a clean uni-
verse. As the Revelator aprcssm it, "Xvoy rteoture which
is in heaven and on the earth ... h d I saying. Blessing
and honor and glory and power be unto him that mrtcth
u p A r the throne, and unta the Lamb forever." But this
nstalt will Iw! nccomplished in harmony with at1 God's deal-
ings past and p m n t , which have always recognized man's
freedom of will to choasc good or evil, life or death
We cannot doubt that when, in Ohe close of the Millcnial
age, God will again for a gglittleatason " permit evil to
triumph, In order thereby to test nis craptuns (who will by
that time hove become thoroughly acquainted with both
good and evil, and the consequalas of each, and will have
hecl his justice and low fully demonstrated to h) ,
that
those who finally prefer and choclsc evil will be coi off-
d a a o y e d Thus God will for dl aetrnity m ow J1 rho
do not hwa dghtcoumcm uad ha iniquity.
 We red, regarding that testing, that Satan will endeavor
to l a d aatny all mankind, whone numbers will then k as
t l a~n d or the rta for maltitudc; but that many of them
will r b s e evil and disobedience, with pas cxperimce be-
Fore them, and unhampered by present weaknesesand blind-
ing influences, we do not suppose. However, when God
docs not tell w either the number or the proportion of those
found worthy of life, and time judged wotthy of death (the
sand death), we ntay not dogmatize. Of one thing we
may be cofiftdent, God Hilletb not the death of the wicked,
but would that all should turn to hinr and live; and no one
will be destroyed in that "lake of fire and brimtone"
(figurative of utter dcstru&ion, as c,vhmnu) who is worthy
of life, whost Living lotlget would 1~ a blessing to hinlseli
or to othenr in harmony with rightcousnerrr.
That utter and hopelcs dcstril&ion is intendcd only far
im'kfclevil doers, who, likestan, in pride of haut and re-
bellion agdnst God, will love and dn evil notwithstanding
the manifmtions of God's disapi)rovd,and notwithstand-
ing their urptrience with itspcnalties, Sen~inglythegood-
ness and low of God in the provision of a ransom, a red-
tution, and another opportunity of life for man, instead of
leading rhese to an abhomi~ceof sin, will led them to
suppose that God i s too loving to cut them off in the sacond
dcztlr, or that if he did so he wotlld give than o k , and
yet other, future opportunities. Building thus upon a sup
posed weaknm in the divine charaAer, these may k led to
try to rake advnutage of the grace (favor) of God, and to
use it as a license for wilful sin. But thy &dl go no fiu-
thw, for their folly shall be mifept. Their utter daitmc-
tioa d l 1 I m e to the righteoug the llatmonymd petFc&
balance of J~wice,IVisdom, L o v e and Power in the Divine
Ruler. Such are called the ua~p)s " (messengers, followrm,
rrvaab) of Wan. And for m&, as well as for Soran, tbe
a- dmtm&ioa (the second death) is pnpYbd by the cPiPe,
loving and just Creator. And so, in the parable of tbn
sheep and goatb, the latter are called messengers or servpatr
of Satan.
The trw char~aerof clrt goat clrrsP is portrayed in Rev.
lr:8. "The f d u l and unbelieving [who will not trust
God], the abominable, murderem [bro ;her-hat- 1, whore-
mongtzs, sorccrtrs, idolaters [such as misapl)ropriate and

would be repulsive to any honest, upright beings. It io

the obedient, death will 3nntUowed up of life. In
the case of the disobediatt, death will k swaUowed

DID THE J M S BELIEVE IN EVERLASTIKG TORMENT?
Noting that we teach that the docrtrine of everksdng tor-
ment was engrafted tlpon the doEtrines of the Christian
Church during the m od of the apostasy, the great falling
away which culminated in Papacy, some have i n q u i d
whether it does not seem, according to the works of Jose-
, this doArine was firmly held by the Jews; nnd,
p h ~ that
if so, they ask, does it not seem evident that the early
<%istiam, k i n g largely converts h r n Judaism, brought
this d d r i n e with them, in the very outstart of Christianity?
Wc anmet, No; the doArine of everlasting tonncnt
sprang natulally from the doArine of human I m m o ~ t y ,
which as s philosophic question was fitat pmmdptod in
anything like the praent form by the Platonic schbol of
Graciul gbilaeophy. the^ fimt a h 4 that Eash man
contained a fragment of deity, and that this would prepart
him from aver dying. Tbis faundation hid, it art rr easy
 to d d b e a place for evil-dam as for well-does. But to
the credit of those heathen philosophers Ix it recorded that
they faitad to develop, or at least t~ manifest, that depth of
degradation from benevolence and reason and pity, neeex+
sary to paint, by word and pen and brtrsh, such details of
horrors and agonies as were soon inenqlordted into their
d&rine, and a belief thcmf deehmf abnccbcsary to salva-
tion" in the prof& church of Christ.
To appreciate the case, it is neccslcar). to rcrncnlberthat,
when the Christian Church was cstablishcl.1,(;re%* stood at
die head of intelligence and civilimtio~r. Alexander the
Gnat had conquered the world, and Itsd y*rcnd respe& for
Greece everywhere; and though, from a nrilitary point of
view, Rome had taken her ploce, it wxs othcnvise in litera-
ture. For centuries, Grecian ~~hilfi~c-q~llcrs and philosophies
led the intellectual world, and irn;lreenatrd and affeted
everything. It became customary for p h i l o w ~ ~ h m and
ieachcrs of other theories to cbirn that thdr systems and
theories were war&$16 s m r M thciie trf the Grecians, and
to endeavor to remove d i f f i e n r : ~letween their old theoria
m d the popular Grecian view-s. Anti wn1e sought to make
capital by chiming tlmt their systetn emltrsced all the good
points of ~latorhrnwith others which Plnto did not see.
Of this c k were tlie teachers in the Christian Church in
the second, third and fourthcenturics. Conceding the pop-
ulatfy wbpted correfinos of the philosophers, they claimed
that the =me good fatuxw of philosophy -*en?found in
Chsist's teachings, and t l ~ het was one of the greatest phi-
loeophers, etc. Thus a blending of Platonism and Chris-
tianity took place. This became the more pronounced as
kings and emperors began to scrutinize religious teachings,
and to favor thosc most likely to awe the people a d malte
L h law-abiding. While h e a t h teachess were truckling
to nrch imperial d a y , and tenching an avalPstlng pnn.
ishment for t h w who violated the ti- of t h ~ m
(who ruled as divinely appointed), ope cannot suppose other-
wise t h that dte ambitious c h d t u s in the church at that
time. who were seeking to displace heathenism and to b m e
the dominant religious power Instead, would makc promi-
nent such doArines a4 WOUMin the eyes of the cmpemn
beem to have an equal hold upon the fears and prejudiccl of
tfrc jmple. And what could be more to the purpose than
the dkrine of the endless torment of the rriracftory?
The same motives I?,-idcntlyopented with Joscphus ahen
writing concerning the belief oi the Jews. Hiworhshould
be 4as apologies for Judaism, and as efforts to exalt that
nation in the eyes of Rome and the world. It should be
remembered that the Jews had the reputation of k i n g s
very rebellious people, very unwitting to be ruled even by
the Csews. They tvere hoping, in harmony with God's
promises, to Errnome the chief nation. h h y nbelfious out-
breaks had occurred among them, and their peculiar reiig-
ion, differing from all others, came in for ib share of blame
for favoring too much the spirit of liberty.
Josepbue had an objoEt in writing his two principal
works, wAntiquities" and a !Tam of the Jm."h e wrote
them in the Greek language while living at Rome, where he
was the friend and gucst socctssively of rhc Roman cmpuoa
t'qtaskm, Titus and Domitian, and whet he was in can-
stant contat9 with the Grecian philosaphas These hooks
were written for the purpose of showing oil the j d s h
people, their courage, laws, ethies, etc., to the best adpan.
tagc before the Grecian philosophers and Roman dignib-
rics, This obj& is covertly admitted in his preface to bis
"hntiquities," in which he sap:

th007y."
lo a word, as a shrewd ram who himsclf had becow? im-
bued with the spirit of the Gmian philosophers then p-
AIing, Josephus drew from the Law and the Prophets, and
from tbe traditions of the eldem and the *heones of t k va-
Tiom &s of the 3m,all he coald find rmt in the moat re-
mote degne would tend to show:
First, that tht Jewish religion was not far hchind pqpulrrr
Grecian philosophy; but that somczuIrot anafog~wtheoria,
had been drawn from hloses' Law, and hcld by some Jews,
long Wore the Grectan philasophrrs tmched them.
Secondly, that it was not their religiots i d e s which made
the Jews as a people hard to wt~trolor rcl~lliotts,as all lib-
erty-love~sw m esteemed by the C-m. Hcnce he at-
tempts tb prove, at r time when virtue --& a t ~ e m e dto con-
sist mainly in submision, that hiwcs' TAW **t3uphtfirst of
all that God is the Father and I.ord of d l things, and be-
stows a hapyy life lilxrn those r i m follow him, bur plunges
sach as da not walk in the patiis of v i r w into inePitabte
miseries." And it is in support of this id+ and for rmch
puzpasar, evidently, tbat Joscphtrs, aRer saying: '.There are
three philosophical d s anlong the Jews; first, the Phari-
KYS; ssrxnrd, the Sadducees, and third, the Eents," pro-
d to give an account of their three theories; arpecidly
detailing any fgahvcs which wsanblcd Grcrian phi101zophy.
And became tht last and least, the &sene, most rrsembled
the dc&hcs of the Stoics and l d i n g G d n theories,
Joscphus devotes n d y ten times as much pace to tbeir
views as to the vim of both Saddmxs and P b m k e corn-
b i n d And y& the bxmswcre so insignificant a s& that
the Ntw Tsotrm~ntdoar not meotio:I them, while Jcmphm
I4 mufSpy ih4 Scnjluru?
h i m d f admits they were few. W k e r Views they neld,
therefore, on any mbjeQ, cannot be claimed as k a v i n g j w
i d rmn@ion, when the Vast majority of Jews held contrary
oltiaioos. The very that our Lord and the apostles
tlid not refer to them is good evidence that tile Essenes
1rb;lo.wphp by no mtans r@mented the Jewish ideas. T h i s
small 4 probably grew up lateraad probably absorbed from
Grecian philosophy its ideas concerning immortality and tile
everlasting torment of the non-virtuous. Itshould k r e m u n
kred that Jaeephus was not barn until three yeam after our
Tmdrsuucitixion, and that he published his "Wars " A. 13.
75 and "Antiquities" A. D. 9 3 4 t a time when he and
other Jeus, like all the rest of the world, were eagerly swal-
lowing Grecian pfiifosophy and science falsely so caned,
gainst which Paul warned the chi1rch.-401. t :8; I Tim.
6:2 0 .
J q h w dir&ed special attention to the Fsxenes Irecaw
it suited his obje& to do so. Headmits that the Sadducees,
aext to tlie largest body of Jewish people, did not believe in
hrunan immortality. Attd of the Phisees' views he mnkac
a blind statement, calculated to mislead, as follows: "They
idso believe that auufs have an immortal VI&Y in them mi
might be undenitood to mean that the Pharisees did not be-
lieve as the Sadducrtesl that death ended all existence, but

Is it not apparent that J w p h m has whittled and stmchcd

to Israel could not give them life Ixxauoo of the wclilktrcsm

IO:s-I0.
Nevcrrtheles, Cod foresow a M t to them from wen an
unsuccessful attempt to live pedeftly ; namely, tbat it would
develop them,as well as strow them the need of the b e
sacrifice (the r a m m which our I ~ r dJaw gave) and a
grtatrr deliverer than Masee. And with alI this thedr trial
ftnnished a pattern or shadow of the individual trial insured
to the whole world (which h c i typified) and sccued by
the bette sacrifices for dn, which were t k r e prefigured, to
be accomplished by the great prophet of whom Moses was

1 % seeing
~ that the trial for life or death presented to
Israel was but typical of the individual nial of the w b k
world, and its issues of life and death (of eternal life or the
becond death), may help same to see that the gnat thou-

The second trial, its sentence lu~dia wult, an h s h o w a
in the words of M o m quotab by Peter (A& 3: 2x1 13):
"A Prophet ehall the Lord your God nise up unto you of
yaar bdwcn, like unto me. Him hall ye hePr in all
things whnbsotM he MI lrpyu~tcryou. And it dtafl come
to pass thst waysoul Ckjnd which will not henr [obcpf
thpt Prophet [and thus &om Ir?] shall k des+ horn
among the peoptc" In few words this 4 l s artontion to
the world's great binl, ytt future. It shorn the p t
Propha or Teacher rnirwrd up by God to give a net* judg-
ment or trial to the condemn& rra-whicb he has r e d e a d
f m ti& condemnation which came upon it through ib pro-
genitor, A h . It shows, too, the conditions of emmil
life to k righteous obedience, and that with the cloec af
that trW. win be judged worthy of that life, and romc!
worthy of datmttion-the second desth.

 af hiibody, who, with Christ jeaua, shall be God'r agents
in judging the world. Together they will be that Great
Rophet or 'l'errchcr promised. "Do ye not know that tln,
d n b &all fudgethe worrd7"-x Cor. 6:2,
The Lord bridly presents the a ~ m cmatt# in Matt, 15:
31-46. There he &ow the trial of the world (not the
Church, which as members of hh W y are with him in glory
dllring that Milhnial reignjudging, ruling and blessing
the world), and concluding the ilhxstntion of tbat trial,
he also r h m the same two clams noted above, 4
their opposite rewah-the one cksa, who obey and come
into b o n y with his arrrulgements,enter filly into the
hlcpsing of everlasting life, and arc t M m d k d
blepeed." The otha: c k , who with evap opportunity
o w not, experience the condemnation of death, the "sec-
ond death," and are thus ucursed" or condemned @a.
Thc firat trial was of mankind only,and hence its penalty
or curse, the fim death, was only upon man, But the see-
ond trial i s to la? much more comprehensive. It m i t i not
only be the trial OF fallen and imperfedt mankind, but it will
include evay other thing and principle and being out of
hPmrony with Jehovah. " God will bring m e work ~ into
judgment, with mrry seact thing. "
The "judgment to come" will include the judgment to
condemnation of dl false systom-civif, social and relig-
ious. ThcPe will be judged, condemned md banished early
in &e.Milknnisl day, the light of truth causing them to
come into disrepute aad thmfore to F a w a y . 'lWs jdg-
mcnt oome fim in osder,that the ttiJ of man may p r o d
unhindered by crmr,prejudice, etc. It will includenisotbr
trial of thc angels which dnned " 4 ~ an+ e "which
kept not their k t estate" ofpurity m d ohadtmcr to God.
Thta it is written by the Apodd1e of tht membm of the
body of the great Prophet and High Ria@,rbo ir to be
 ma#Say & Sm-$1 19
Judgeof all-a'Knor ye aot that the mints rhrll j d g e

Tbfo kin# the use, the coadcmnatioa of the Wllazr-
nM trial (drrtruction, Socolrd Death) kill cover a wfoa
n;ngc of oflmdao thPrr the p e n a l ~or come lor the dn
vfA&m, which **possbdupon dl mm." In a word, tbc
dQdractionat the close of that (rial will be the utter de-
rmtction of tvmy bchg and every C l i i q which will &oC
glorify God and be of ast and blessing to hi general
acrtio~, Thru the Sbcond Death will be to the perfect
futun age what Gckarwra, the Valley of Hianem, ms to
the typical dty and kingdom of Ismel. It wilt demo7
and cornme totally whatever is cast into it.
Thur m n , the Second Depth does not m a n rimply to

it mcotlld not mean death 8 second time to him. Sa, too,

that C c h m , which h the Second Death, w e n never be-
fore destroyed. Hmcc thh Sacond h t h in which they
win be destroyed -not be considered am their datnre-
