resurrection bodies at that partic ular time. We, who are alive and remain, in the twinkling of an eye, w ill be given our resurrection bodies also. It will all be an instan taneous transaction. Philippians 3:21 tells us that our "vile" bodies, or the bodies of our humiliation, will be changed to our resurrection bodies, likened unto His glorious resurrection body. At that time we will no longer be sub ject to the laws of time and space. No longer will we endure any of the physical problems which are now faced. We will be able to move around in God's creation, not at the slow speed of light (186,000 miles a second), but rather at the speed of mind. This is instantan eous. Remember, no eye has seen, no ear has heard, neither has any one been able to conceive of the wonderful things awaiting all those who have put their trust in Christ. Q. Yakima, Wash. " What is the dif ference between the burnt offering and the sin offering as spoken of in Leviticus?" A. This is one of the most beautiful pictures in typology indicating the future work of our Lord. The offer ings and their procedures discussed in the first seven chapters of Lev iticus are based on holiness. The burnt offering is the first one. Along with it, in the second chap ter, is the meal offering, with the peace offering in the third chapter. These three together have an added designation of sweet savour to the Lord. The burnt offering did not primarily have sin in view. It was offered up entirely consumed, speaking of utter and unreserved devotion to God. This also shows Christ in His complete commitment
and death for us. The meal offer ing, on the other hand, refers to the humanity of our Lord since grain comes from that which grows on the earth. It is His perfect obe dience in the burnt offering, His perfect humility in the meal offer ing and the perfect Peacemaker in the peace offering which God uses to picture His Son for us. The non-sweet savour offerings were those involving sin and its atonement (chapters four and five). The difference between them is that one indicates the dedication of our Lord and the heart love of Jehovah and His coming Messiah, while the other indicates one's sin. Of course, Christ is both our burnt offering as well as our sin offering. Q. Walla Walla, Wash. "Did the ancient race of giants mentioned in Genesis 6 come after the flood or are they considered a pre-Adamic race?" A. They did not come after the flood nor are they considered a pre-Adamic race. These were gi ants between the time of Adam and Noah. No one knows where they came from. Some believe that they were the result of fallen an gels who married daughters of men and bore these mighty monstrosi ties. It is also valid that this passage refers to the godly line of Seth while the daughters of men were of the ungodly line of Cain. Be cause of their intermarriage the whole world became corrupt. The whole race may well have been much larger than we know men's stature today because the effects of sin had not had such a devastat ing result as in our age. We believe Page 13
