GODS WORD
KINGDOM OF CHRIST
(No. 11)
From the scriptures we have
learned that Christ has a kingdom,
and has it now—a kingdom that is |
not of this world but over which
he reigns from heaven—and a king-
dom in which his saints reign with
him. They administer his laws and
execute, his commands. Thus he
reigns through them, and thy reign
with him, upon the earth They
apostles in particular so reigned
while they lived in the flesh and
do even yet, and will continue to
do so, through their judgments and
teachings All other saints like-
wise reign, only on a lesser scale
Then there is to be a particular
time when those who have suffer-
ed martyrdom for Christ are to
reign to a conspicuous degree in
describing his vision of this period
the apostle John said:
“And I saw thrones, and they sat
upon them, and judgment was given 1
unto them: end I saw the souls of
them that were beheaded for the
witness of Jesus, and for the word
of God, and which had not wor-
shipped the beast, neither his image
neither had received his mark up-
on their foreheads or in their
hands: and they lived and resigned
with Christ a thousand years” (Rev.
20:4).
This is a period in which the
influence of those who have been
martyred for Christ is prominent-
yes, dominant. But it is not the
beginning of Christ’s kingdom
Christ’s reign does not begin with
this thousand-year-period of the
special reign of those who have been
martyred for him. He has been
reigning ever since his ascension
Into heaven, and will continue to
reign until he returns to earth In
person and then delivers the king-
dom over to the Father When the
martyrs enjoy their conspicuous
reign with Christ it la in the king-
dom already established by our
Lord. (To be continued'.

December now are being scrap-
ped. At the moment there is as
open-minded attitude on how
quickly and in what manner
Germany may be defeated.
Defeat could take the form of un-
conditional surrender by the Army
high command if the command
splits with the Nazi political lead-
ership or could be evidenced by a
fairly rapid breakup of organized
resistance with a long period of
guerrillo warfare following.
The last several days have brought
no evidence here of a German at-
tempt to surrender. Diplomatic
sources report the usual crop of un-
official rumora and inquiries in neu-
tral capitals about peace but see no
particular significance in them.
Hitler’s grand strategy, based on
the hopelessness of the Nazi posi-
tion, and on a desire to split the Al-
lies in order to modify peace terms.
Initially contemplated a defense on
the borders of the Reich.
Thus, when Allied armies broke
out of the Normandy beachhead last
summer, the Germans were unable
to halt their advance and in fact
had evidently prepared no line of
defense west of the Siegfried line.
Actual detailed information on
eastern front operations is so slight
as to make it impossible to say now
where the enemy planned to make
his final stand against the Rus-
sians. but certainly the Oder river
figured in those calculations.
Confronted with the necessity
of fighting off attacks on two
fronts this winter, the Germans
launched their December coun-
ter offensive. They hoped te
cripple the offensive power of
the western Allies, but met with 1
only limited success. The Gar-
man thrust inflicted heavy dam-
age on same American units
and perhaps blocked a threat-
ened offensive move by General
Eisenhower. It failed to deal a
crippling blow by knocking out
the supply port of Antwerp nor
did It cut the Allied supply
trunk from France in the vicin-
ity of Namur. In consequence
the Germans must now realise a
reborn danger of powerful as-
sault action by Anglo- American
forces.
The German strategy in the east
was to hold the front north and
south of Warsaw until just before
a Russian attack and then to with-
draw forces to whatever defense
lines the enemy felt could be held.
The tipoff that these plans have
in some measure gone awry is found
in the fact that they have been
withdrawing reserves from the
western front in such haste to get
reinforcements in the east that
railroads and highways are jammed.
It is felt here that only a situa-
tion of the utmost urgency, such as
the Germans would certainly not
plan for, could force the command-
ers of the Wehrmacht to expose
their troops and equipment to the
devastating blows of Allied air pow-
er in the west.
