JEHOVAH (1934)

"THERE IS NO SCRIPTURAL REASON TO CONCLUDE THAT THE MAN ABRAHAM AND HIS DESCENDANTS WILL INHERIT THE EARTH. God's promise to Abraham was fulfilled in minature and in a typical manner....but the greater fullfillment is to those of Jehovah's organisation." (Page 36)
Da Judge is in his usual form here. He would have you believe that everything in the Bible is somehow not what it says, but actually pertaining to Jehovah's Witnesses.
"When God said to Abraham. 'I will give unto thee and thy seed after thee the land,' Clearly the meaning therof is that in type was given the land and his seed, the Christ, will posses it forever."
Da Judge is trying to establish his idea that the 'ancient worthies' will not recieve the same reward (spiritual resurection, which is established in Hebrews 11) as those who follow Christ. One wonders how much the failure of the '1925' prophecy had to do with Rutherford still trying to push his 'two class salvation' ideas?
NIV Hebrews 11:4-16
4 By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.
5 By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.
6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
7 By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.
9 By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.
10 For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
11 By faith Abraham, even though he was past age--and Sarah herself was barren--was enabled to become a father because he considered him faithful who had made the promise.
12 And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.
13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth.
14 People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own.
15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.
16 Instead, they were longing for a better country--a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
Rutherford was arrogant enough to dispute what many believe to be the inspired Word of God.
