21. THE CHURCH ENTERING INTO AND IN THE HARVEST PERIOD

No matter how great and how effective a revival and reformation even God Himself may launch in His church, the Scriptures make it plain that both the sinners and the saints will be in the church until the harvest. No one need brag that the members of his church are all saints, that they are all of one accord. If they really are of one accord, then it must be that they are all tares, that there is no saint among them; that church for a certainty is not the church of which Christ speaks in His Word. If anything is plain in the Bible this one thing is. Now let us turn to the thirteenth chapter of Matthew. 

22. THE HATED JEWS OF TODAY NOT THE ADMIRED JEWS OF TOMORROW

We are here to study Zephaniah 2, beginning with the first verse.
Zeph. 2:1, 2---"Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired; before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the Lord come upon you, before the day of the Lord's anger come upon you." 

23.  THE FATE OF ASSYRIA, AND THE TRIUMPH OF THE CHURCH 

Let us turn to Zephaniah 3, and begin with the first verse.
Zeph. 3:1---"Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!" 

24. IS WORLD WAR II YET TO BE FINISHED SAINTS YET TO BE DELIVERED?

This afternoon we are to study the book of Nahum. The burden of this entire book, three chapters in all, is concerning two separate people. To ascertain who these people are, we shall begin with--- 

25. WHICH NATIONS WILL DISARM, AND WHY?

To continue with the theme of our previous studies---the kingdom of Judah---we shall turn to the book of Micah. It consists as you know, of seven chapters, and they carry a continuous story of Judah in both her early and her latter days. The first three chapters are concerning Judah in her early days, and the last four contain the promises to antitypical Judah, the Judah of the latter days, of whom our main interest now is. 

26. A WORLD WIDE STIR, AND ITS RESULTS

This afternoon we shall continue our study of the book of Micah. Let us turn to the fifth chapter, and begin with the first verse.
Micah 5:1---"Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: He hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the Judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek." 

Our subject for this afternoon begins with-
Micah 6:1, 2---"Hear ye now what the Lord saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice. Hear ye, O mountains, the Lord's controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the Lord hath a controversy with His people, and He will plead with Israel." 

28. ON THE THRESHOLD OF A NEW WORLD IN THE SIGHT OF THE OLD

This afternoon we are to study the seventh chapter of Micah. This chapter brings to our attention three divisions of time in which three different conditions obtain on the earth. The first condition is recorded in the first four verses; the second, in verses 5-14; and the third, in verse 15 down to the end of the chapter. 

29. A TRODDEN-DOWN KINGDOM RISING TO PROMINENCE AND PEACE

We are now to study the book of Isaiah, beginning with the first chapter, and continuing on into the second chapter. The first part of chapter one, you well know, deals with the sins of ancient Israel, while the latter part of the chapter, along with the second chapter, deals with the re-establishment of the Kingdom in the latter days. Specifically, it is this latter subject that we are to study today. 

30. "SEVEN WOMEN TAKE HOLD OF ONE MAN"

Today we are to continue our study of the book of Isaiah, beginning with the first verse of the fourth chapter.
Isa. 4:1---"And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by Thy name, to take away our reproach."
