father the prince of peace jsa 90 the lesson as a whole approach to the lesion the twentieth century broke upon a world rosy with optim ism in philosophical circles thi optimism was expressed in a form of humanism which believed that the race was at last growing up and was ready- to exchange its foolish ways for more reasonable procedur es science supported the doc trine of progress with its the ory of evolution the religious form of this optimism was a vigorous postraillennialism which eagerly pointed to the many signs that the leaven of the gospel was leavening the whole lump of society this postmillennialism was by no means confined to lib erals and modernists grcrt judah v 4 some believe that the flocks here referred to were being raised for temple use verse 9 the angel of jiouithe lord came upon them and oe the glory of the lord shone round about them sore a- fraid read an angel the definite article would identify this angel with the theophan- ies of the old testament which is not intended the un precedented glory struck fear into the shepherds hearts one day we shall stand in the pres ence of the eternal light with calm delight verse 10 good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people this angel was an evangelist a hearer of good news head all the people referring to israel the gos pel came to the jew first verse 11 for unto you is born this day in the city of david a saviour which is christ the lord although lowly born this saviour is of high rank hels gods anoin ted one the christ and christ is lord again saviourhood rests on lordship verse 12 a sign

we are presently taking orders for these wonderful cakes come in today stouffville bakery chers held it even in the twen ties when i was beginning my ministry 1 remember one splendid pother with whom 1 held evangelistic meetings we prayed together we worked together we led souls to christ together and in between tim es we battled this question 1 championed premillennialism with all the impetuosity of youth and he argued the case for postmillennialism with all the conviction of a reformer today postmillennialism like the optimistic humanism of which it was the religious counterpart is not nearly so vocal more recently amillen- riialism has become an aggres sive teaching and is today the rival of premillennialism in the prophetic field but among all the differences amillennial- ism holds with us in this that a warless world a world in which righteousness and peace reign will not be known be fore christ comes the christmas hope is not that the world will be subdued to peace and righteousness by the preaching of the gospel but our christmas story points to another coming of the lord not to a stable and a cross but to a crown and a throne then shall the nations bow be fore him and the lord shall be king over all the earth verse by verse isa 22 the lords house shall be established in the top of the mountains and all nations shall flow into it it should be noticed from verse 1 that this is a prophecy con cerning judah and jerusalem not concerning the church zion is here envisioned as the center of worship not of jud ah only but of the whole world verse 3 let us go up to the house of god of jacob for out of zion shall go forth the law false relig ions will give place to the knowledge of the lord notice the magnetic power of the cen ter of truth and its outflowing influence verse i and he shall judge among the nations and they shall beat their swords into plowshares nether shall they learn war any more there must be a work of judgment and rebuk ing before the warcrazed na tions submit to total disarma ment and forget their military science chap 02 the people that walked in darkness have seen a great light once again apply to verse 1 for the fact that this is a prophecy concer ning the region of galilee a greatly afflicted section but highly privileged in having so much of the ministry of christ the light of the world see matthew 11310 verse 5 garments rolled in blood shall be with burning and fuel of fire an unfortunate translation this verse is a companion of 21 telling us of the day when war material will be consign ed to the tlames because there l no more use for it verse c a child is born a son is given and the government shall 1m upon his shoulder note the ac curacy of the phrasing the child born is the eternal son given this prophecy is the et ernal son given this prophecy leaps from the birth of christ to his reign the names shall bo studied individually verse 7 government and peace upon the throne of david with judgment and with justice the cen ter from which government swaddling clothes which were common for infants the sign was that this swaddled babe was lying in a manger v 7 a most uncommon place for a newly born verse 13 a multitude of the heavenly host praising god and saying as if in con firmation of the message no tice the word saying not singing nevertheless it is a song whose very recitation is music verse 11 glory to god in the highest and on earth peace good will toward men the glory is god but the peace and the good will good pleas ure are from god the fruit of the work wjieh his son had come to accomplish the heart of the lesson men have aver mourned ov er a golden age that was past or dreamed of the one to come the bible shares these thoughts only with a certain ty which the dreams of men do not enjoy it tells of a time when men communed with god in a garden into which no blight of sin or sorrow had come it looks to a day when war and violence and corrup tion and inequity and want will give place to peace and confidence and abundance with righteousness but the bible does not look for this age of blessedness as the fruit of human effort nor yet as the crown of an evolu tionary process always it con nects that glad day with a spe cial breaking in of god upon the human scene and with a turning of man to god see it in our isaiah passages it is when the light of god breaks forth from zion and the na tions turn thither to learn his way that armaments will be turned into implements of peace and profitable produc tion 224 it is when the light breaks upon the worlds darkness that government and peace shall embrace the earth 927 again it must be noticed that a particular spot of earth is chosen as the center of the great enveloping movement of righteousness and peace the law goes forth from zion the light shines in galilee it is the throne of david that extends its sway to the ends of the earth israel plays an import ant part in gods redemption still further a particular person is at the heart of this whole program of recovery he is the child born in bethle hem the son whose goings forth have been from of old from everlasting he whose name is wonderful counsel lor the mighty god the ev erlasting father the prince of peace is the one who rules the nations from the throne of david at ills birth the angels cel ebrated the event in the song which we call the gloria in excelsis deo they sang of the day when peace would rule the earth and gods good plea sure be manifest among men hut not without cost would that day come for that child in the manger it meant the cross by that cross he sealed his right to reign and by his resurrection he has given as surance of the times of resti tution of all things acts 3 21 the dream of the proph ets is secure though it tar ry wait for it because it will surely come it will not tarry hah 23 even so come lord jesus rev 2220 wedding long edwards a quiet wedding was sol- emmzed at the lnited church parsonage
