126 The Fundamentals but the very opposite. Our Lord Himself, Jesus Christ the Son of God, revealed more of the eternal punishment of the lost than any other witness of God in the Bible. In twelve texts of the New Testament He speaks of the place where the wicked are confined as Gehenna, and in each save one the words of most solemn warning as to the eternal consequences of sin fell from His own lips. He describes it as the place where their worm never dies and where the fire is never quenched. He teaches that the punishment of the lost is of the same duration as the life of the saved— eternal. (Matt. 25:46.) In the Revelation it is called the lake of fire and the second death. These are the terms that are used to depict the eternal state of the wicked. The second death is not anni- hilation. We read in Revelation 19:20; 20:10 that after a thousand years in the lake of fire the Beast and the False Prophet are still there undestroyed. It is a forbidding theme, appalling to the natural heart, but nevertheless one clearly taught in the Scriptures that the rejectors of Jesus Christ, the haters of God, will be punished with everlasting destruc - tion from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power.
SUMMMARY OF THE FALSE DOCTRINES OF MILLENNIAL DAWN 1. Christ before His advent was not Divine.
2 . When He was in the world He was still not Divine. j . His atonement was exclusively human, a mere man’s. 4 . Since His resurrection He is Divine only, no longer human at all.
5 . His body was not raised from the dead. 6 . His Second Advent took place in 1874 . 7 . The saints were raised up in 1878 .
8 . Both Christ and the saints are now on earth and have been for thirty-seven and thirty-three years respectively.
