are in Judea flee unto the mountains” this is directed to those in Judea. That refers not to the Church but to the peo ple in Palestine. Then He goes on to say that they must pray that their flight not be in the winter or on the sabbath day. The Christian has no re lationship to the sabbath or seventh day — he is related to the resurrec tion of our Lord Jesus (on the first day) and walking in the niewness of life. So you see that all through this 24th chapter the reference is the people of Israel in that coming day after the Church is gone. Every Bible student should mark the passage, Isaiah 27:13. It is a beautiful parallel passage that shows it definitely relates to Israel and the fact that God will then consumate His work in sending an angelic agency to gather them together from the four winds of the earth at the end of Israel’s own age. Does this refer to the Christian to day? A very positive NO! Q . San Diego, California. “What position w ill the New Jerusalem hold in the coming days?” A. The New Jerusalem is described in chapter 21 and a part of chapter 22 of the Book of the Revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that the New Jerusalem will be the capital of the new heaven and the new earth. We believe that it will be the center of activity. Heaven is going to occupy all of space because sin will, be eliminated from all of God’s creation in those times, and throughout all eternity we will enjoy the universe that God has prepared for us.

The Riches of Old Age
Old age is goldpn, so it's been said, I know it's true, for as I rise from bed I have praise in my heart; my eyes are on God, Since before me, the path He's al ready trod. Ere sleep dims my eyes, I say to my self " I refuse, by God's grace, to be laid on the shelf." I'm happy to say, as I close tight the door, I loved Christ when young, but now even more. Now that I'm old and the Devil at tacks, God gives me the strength my physique lacks. Oh, yes, I know my vigor is spent— But God never fails, new strength He has sent. Each morning I rise, my soul filled with glory, I pick up my Bible to read the old story. M y youth is all spent but my heart is blest, I will soon enter into "Eternity's Rest." — Pearl Schalling Vacatlbn Dr. Martin R.
