late earth, bound, that is, restrained by the very circumstances<br />

of his position from carrying forward his nefarious<br />

work, the righteous being in heaven, and the wicked in<br />

their graves, and so all being beyond his power, the saints<br />

are accomplishing that work of judgment which they perform<br />

in connection with Christ in heaven (1 Cor. 6:2; Rev.<br />

20:4); that is, apportioning to the wicked the punishment<br />

due to each one, to be executed upon them at the end of the<br />

thousand years. p. 266, Para. 2, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

This work being accomplished, the thousand years expire,<br />

the wicked dead are raised, Satan is loosed, for he now has<br />

something to do, and he goes out to deceive those wicked<br />

multitudes that are brought out of their graves. Having<br />

gathered them around the holy city, which has then come<br />

down out of heaven, fire descends from God and devours them<br />

all, root and branch, Satan and all his followers. Here the<br />

wicked receive in their own persons the punishment due to<br />

their sins while Satan suffers under the accumulated load<br />

of the sins of all the righteous, which, at the beginning<br />

of the thousand years, were laid upon him as the antitypical<br />

scapegoat. p. 266, Para. 3, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

Chapter 32 -- THE END OF S<strong>IN</strong> p. 267, Para. 1, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

THE division of the subject which now comes under consideration,<br />

is one of exceeding interest. The great burden of<br />

the penitent, reaching out for a Saviour, is, "Who shall<br />

deliver me from the body of this death?" And the great joy<br />

of the new convert is, "There is now no condemnation to<br />

them which are in Christ Jesus." The question of becoming<br />

free from sin, and the process by which this is accomplished,<br />

has power to affect the heart of the awakened sinner,<br />

as no other question can. p. 268, Para. 1, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

With scarcely less interest we go forward to the final<br />

disposal of sin, when it shall be forever put away. We have<br />

now traced it, in the process by which the work of salvation<br />

is wrought for men, from the sinner to the sacrificial<br />

victim, from the victim to the sanctuary, from the sanctuary<br />

to the scapegoat, which in the antitype is Satan; and<br />

are held to the conclusion that sin, of which he is himself<br />

the author, comes to its end in his destruction. p. 268,<br />

Para. 2, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

A query sometimes arises at this point, relative to the<br />

punishment of sin in the person of Satan. If Satan is pun-
