Our Children at Christês Coming

AS to children who may be alive when the Lord returns and sends for the members of His household, the question is, will no provision be made for the households of the faithful? If we are to judge from Deity's operations in the past, we are justified in expecting that there will be so. Respect has always been shown to the kindred of those who have been the objects of divine regard. Noah's family is one instance; Lot's family is another. His sons-in-Iaw were by command of the angels, invited to escape the impending judgment, but laughed the invitation to scorn. Rahab's family were spared from the destruction that befell Jericho. Is it not possible that similar favour will be shown when the greatest judgment of all arrives? Is it not possible that households may be invited to accompany the saints eastward? As a matter of course, the saints alone are called to judgment, and they alone enter the Kingdom of God in the sense of obtaining the life, honour and glory of it; but mortal subjects will have to be provided for as well as Kings and priests; and is it not possible the saints may have a commission to secure among them a place for such of their kindred as shall have faith and docility enough to leave home and country for the seat of the NEW POWER, there to shelter in the King's refuge until the judgment is over past, and afterwards to settle among the tribes of Israel as strangers and sojourners in the Land, to whom a portion will be divided? (Ezek. 47:22). If so all difficulty about children would be at an end.-- A.T.J.
