The ages roll Forward: and forward with them, draw my soul into times infinite sea. And to be glad, or sad, I care no more, But to have done, and to have been, before I come to do and be. is is it its fe God's Great Plan In The Earth N THE beginning God created the heavens and the earth. In the bee ginningf' We have no way of knowing when this beginning was. And while we cannot fully understand God's meaning in the words, yet we can know something of His object in creating the world and the things that are therein. God had a purpose in creating the physical world and the human race, and this purpose is clearly revealed in His word. The Bible is the only book that reveals God's plan. And, although the fall of man has hindered His work, His plan will yet be brought to a iinal consummation. The angels, who 'tin the beginning were created holy and with the power of choice, fell, and were cast out of heaven: and it has been Satan's object. ever since he had to leave his heavenly abode, to try to prove that God is not true, and to destroy the image of God in man. Man was created in the image of God, mentally and spiritually, and had communion with his Maker. His surroundings were perfect. He was made a free moral agent with power to p1'ove himself true and live forever. He did not have to sin. But man separated himself from God. He went to the lowest. depths: down in the awful midnight of superstition and unbelief: down morally and spiritually, until scarcely a ray of light enlightened his immortal soul. The awful night of darkness in Egypt is only a faint type of the darkness into which man drifted. The Egyptians could 1101 help themselves, neither was there virtue in their gods. Man had practically lost all knowledge of the true God. He had no conception of what he could do. and had to be led step by step until he could come to the place where he could discern between good and evil. He could not lift himself out of this awful condition. He had lost the image of God, and must have a Redeemer. But how could those, who were in such darkness, be brought to a saving knowledge of the truth? Moses could, and did lead them to the law. But the law could not make the comers thereunto perfect. It could otfer to them cere- monial blessings and point them to the great Sacrifice, but only the Christ could bring them out of their darkness and back to the image of God. God had promised Israel a Redeemer, a King, who would sit upon His father David's throneg one whose government would be an everlasting gov- ernment. Had the Jews accepted Christ as their King when He came, He could have, at that time, set up His Kingdom in the earth. But Israel failed. They denied ,the Lord of Glory and the true vine was broken off and another was grafted in. It was the privilege of the Gentile Church to evangelize the world, to take the gospel to the ends ofthe earth, to put down sin, and thus prepare the way in 'O EXQXE2
