[Songs in the Night - November 19]
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. Revelation 21:7
THOSE addressed are not the bride class, selected
during the Gospel age, but the sheep class of Matthew
25—such of mankind as during the millennial age become
the Lord's sheep and obey his voice.
To these
at the end of the millennial age, in harmony with the
Father's plan he says, "Come, ye blessed of my Father,
inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation
of the world."
They are not invited to inherit
the kingdom prepared for us, in joint-heirship with the
Lord, the heavenly kingdom.
But they shall inherit the
earth, the purchased possession—they shall come back
into all the good estate of father Adam which he lost
for himself and his children through disobedience, but
which Jesus redeemed with his own precious blood,
and will restore at the close of the Millennium to all
the children of Adam who shall have accepted his gracious
favors and been regenerated by him, and thus
become his sons, and he their God—their father. Z'01-201 R2833:5 (Hymn 214)
