By Editor

A. POTTER: The facts connected with the transfiguration, the resurrection of Moses, and the expressions respecting Christ being the first-fruits, &c., are fully considered and explained in our work, “Man’s Nature and Destiny,” pp. 137–148.
A. LUCAS: Your suggestion on the names is probably correct. Eze. 34:23 and 37:24 doubtless refer to the future. Israel is to be understood of the “Israel of God” in the sense in which the term is used in the New Testament. See Rom. 2:28, 29; 9:6-8; and Gal. 3:29. David, in such promises, stands to represent his line. Christ is called the son of David, though many generations stood between them. To him were given “the sure mercies of David;” Isa. 55:3, 4; and the promises to David of the perpetuity of his throne will be fulfilled in Christ.
To O. ILES: Please compare with Matt. 10:23; Luke 10:1. We think this relieves the difficulty which appears to exist. It is only apparent.
H. BARTLETT: In Thoughts on the Revelation, p. 239, you will find an explanation of Rev. 13:18, concerning the number of the beast.
