A Usurper Rules
the World
By REV. W. W. KETCHUM
rtractor of tbs Practical Work Coons,
Moody
)
Iaatituto, Chicago
TEXT—In whom tha rod of thla world
hath blinded the mind» of there which
believe not, lest the light of the glorious
Gospel of Christ, who la the image of
Qod, should shine unto thsm.—II Corin
thians 4:1
'
1
When our Lord was about to leave
the world, he said to hia disciples
_ "The prince of
I — I this world cometh 1
and hath nothing
In me." (John 14:
80.) Shortly be
fore this he had
said: "Now la the
judgment of this
world, now Is the
prince of this
world cast out."
(John 12:31 ; 10 :
Û
11.) Undoubtedly,
he referred to
the judgment and
victory of hia own
cross.
The Usurper.
execution of this Judgment has been i
' delayed and durlcg our Lord ' s ab -
)m\
[ sence, the one whom he calls the
1 prince of this world Is "the god of
this age." He Is none other than Sa
ton himself who is also called "the
prince of the power of the air, the .
spirit that now worketh In the chil- j
dren of disobedience." (Ephes. 2:2.)
Our Ideas of Satan have been gain
ed largely from the way in which man
has depicted him. According to the
„ . . _ . .. ,
Scriptures, Satan the usurper Is not
that hideous monster man so often
portrays him to be. On the contrary, !
he Is a being of great dignity, so lofty
that when Michael the Archangel '
"disputed with him about the body of
Moses, he durst not bring against him j
a railing accusation, but said, the Lord
rebuke thee. ' I
rebuke thee.
i Thia Age.
I Now we should expect, If he is the
god of this age, that the age will In
; character be like Its god. This is
precisely what it Is, for he is "the
evil one" and the^pge over which he
reigns is called an "evil age." (Gal.
1:4 R. V.) To say this, as the Scrip
tures do, does no,t necessarily imply
î hat the ag ? 18 , gr ° 8sly lmmoraI - Ia
fact, we believe it Is the most ethical
age the world has ever seen and that
It suits the god of this age to hide as
far as possible Its vice and crime,
i
:
Its Progress.
: To prove the evil character of the
age, It Is not necessary to deny Its
progress, its achievements, Its çlyll|:
zation. In these the world has made
giant stride?, but tfiey do not, of them.
solves, Indicate that the world Is near
er God Indeed^ to these a self-satls
fled, self-centered, godless world points
with pride, and they are the very
j things with which the god of this age
j would have us occupied. He hates the
cross and the. crown, the atonement
of our Lord and his coming glory, and
nothing suits his purpose better than
to obscure them both.
Blinded Eyes.
We are told that "the god of this
age hath blinded the minds of them
which believe not, lest the light of the
glorlous Gospel of Christ should shine
unto them." And it does seem as if
he were succeeding very well; for we
hear lD these days less and less of the
cross, and_very little ef the crown. The
age, like Its god, Is utterly and abso
lutely opposed to the purpose and plan
of God to redeem mankind by the
blood of his cross and the world by
' ha h C «™' ng n 0f R
with its own self-righteousness and It»
own self-sufficiency.
Christ Not Enthroned.
Whatever we may think of the char
acter of this nge, It Is very evident
from the facts os they are, that our
Lord is not now reigning over the
earth as tho Scri P tnrcs predict he
Bha ,i rcIg „. kings do not fan
down before him "all nations do not
serve him "all enemies aro not under
hl8 ;' he t! doe , s ao ' execate „ 3ad,r -
ment ftn( ^ Justice in the earth;" "the
kingdoms of this world have not be
come j lis .. he doeg not hnve dominion
y n to the end of the earth." It Is also
true that wrongs are still nnrlghted;
that poverty and riches dwell side by
side ; grinding competition and servile
toil nre the lot of many; the earth Is
not free of famine, pestilence, and
earthquake; Europe la wet with blood
and there ore wnrs and rumors of war
on every hand for swords are not
beaten Into plowshares, nor spears In
to pruning hooks ; Iniquity and vice
abound ; the love of many waxes cold ;
ninny are departing from the forth,
giving heed to seducing spirits aud a
doctrlnes of demons, and many false
teachers nVe bringing In damnable
heresies, even denying the Lord that
bought them. These facts nre so pal- g
But in the midst of all this dark
ness there Is n ray of light, for Christ
is coming to the enrth to reign and
rule. The earth which was the scene
pable no one can deny them.
A Ray of Light
of his humiliation Is to be the place
of his exaltation; here where he was
crucified, he Is to be crowned. The
usurper has only a short time to reign
for "Yet a little while and he that shall
coroe will come and will not tarry." ^
(Heb. 10:37.) Then "the god of this
age" shall be dethroned, and the world
shall have Its rightful and lawful king
to reign over It
