, will assume the family name, the _whole Israel_
of God. The angel Gabriel's message, then, is clear; David is the Father
of Jesus, according to the flesh, and Jacob, or rather Israel his
Father, and Jesus reigns over the house of Israel forever. Paul says,
'He is not a Jew which is one outwardly, but he is a Jew which is one
inwardly.' Rom. ii. 'There is no difference between the Jew and the
Greek, (or Gentile) for they are not all _Israel_ which are of _Israel_,
neither because they are the seed of Abraham are they all children.'
Why? Because the children of the promise, of Isaac (is the true seed.)
ix. and x. ch. To the Gallatinns he says, 'Now to Abraham (the
Grandfather of Israel) and his seed were the promises made; not to many,
but as of one and to thy seed, which is CHRIST--then says, there is
neither Jew nor Greek--but one in Christ Jesus, and if [47]ye be Christ
then are ye Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise.' iii.
'And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and
mercy, and upon the ISRAEL of God.' vi. This, then, is the name of the
whole family in heaven; Christ is God's only Son and lawful heir; none
but the true seed can be joint heirs with Christ in the covenant made
with Abraham. Ezekiel's prophecy in xxxvii. chapter, God says 'he will
bring up out of their _graves_ the WHOLE HOUSE OF ISRAEL,' 'and I'll put
my spirit in you and ye shall _live_.' 12-14. If God here means any
other than the spiritual _Israel_, then Universalism is true--for the
_whole_ house of natural Israel did not die in faith; if the wicked Jews
are to be raised and live before God, then will _all_ the wicked! For
God is no respecter of persons: 'And the heathen shall know that I the
Lord do sanctify _Israel_ when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of
them forever more.' 28 v. Here, then, we prove, that the dead and living
saints are the whole _Israel_ of God, and the Covenant and Sign is
binding on them into the gates of the holy city. Rev. xx: 14.

[48]RECAPITULATION

Page 3. _When was the Sabbath instituted?_ Here we have endeavored to
show when, and how it continued until its re-enactment on Mount Sinai.

Page 9. _Has the Sabbath been abolished since the seventh day of
creation? If so, when, and where is the proof?_ Here we believe we have
adduced incontestible proof from the scriptures; from the two separate
codes of laws given, viz: the first on tables of stone, called by God
prophets, J
