THE ENSIGN MESSAGE

WHAT IS THE KINGDOM GOSPEL?

By

Is It a New Religion?

EMPHATICALLY No! It is a Federation of orthodox Christians of many denominations who believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God.

Is Israel a Nation or a Church?

Since God cannot change (Malachi 3:6), Israel must still be in existence as a nation (Jeremiah 31:25-37).

Where, then, are these Chosen People Israel?

Only one race today answers in every detail to the Bible picture of “Israel in the latter days” — (Christian Dispensation) — and that is the English-speaking Race — the British Empire and U. S. A. They possess what Israel was to possess, and they are doing what Israel was to do.

What is the Key to Israel Truth?

The distinction between “Israel” and “Judah” is clearly marked throughout the Scripture (1 Kings 7; Jeremiah 16-11; Ps. 114:1-2; Ezekiel 37; Zechariah 10:7-14; 1 Kings 12:16-24). They are not interchangeable terms.

ISRAEL — the ten-tribed Northern kingdom or House of Israel, who kept the surname Israel.

JUDAH — The two-tribed Southern Kingdom or House of Judah. Of this latter House only are the Jews. Hence some Jews are Israelites, but all Israelites are not Jews. Jews — the name given to the remnant of Judah after the captivity. (2 Kings 16:1-6; Esther 2:5-6).

For What was Israel Chosen?

For Service, Leviticus 24:55: “Unto me the children of Israel are servants.” See also Isaiah 43:10, 21:44:21.

For Witness, Isaiah 43:12: “Ye are my witnesses that I am God.” See also Isaiah 49:3.

For Blessing, Genesis 12:1-2,22:16-18: “I will bless thee, and thou shalt be a blessing.”

Not for Favouritism or Special Righteousness. Ezekiel 36:22-24, 32: “I do not this for your sakes, O House of Israel, but for my Holy Name’s Sake.” See also Isaiah 48:9-11.

What of Salvation?

Individually, personal Salvation by faith in the atonement of Jesus Christ is as necessary for an Israelite as for any other, but nationally the Israel race is charged with the responsibility of distributing the Gospel and proclaiming it to the world. See Isaiah 61:1-14.

Is the Kingdom Message Truth Necessary?

I. It alone throws light on the prophetic Scriptures, and on British origin, history and destiny.

2. As part of God’s Word and God’s plan, it must be as necessary as any other part.

3. It alone completely demonstrates the inspiration of the Bible, and reveals the Covenant-keeping God.

4. In the conflict of nations Israel leads those nations fighting for God (Christian) against the combination of nations fighting against God (Anti-Christian). Britain and the U.S.A. are the “Chief of Nations” today.

A Challenge.

If these statements are not correct — prove the contrary!

If they are the Truth — accept them! and pass them on!
