February 20 The wise shall inherit glory.-Prov. 3:35. Within these 1900 years God has taken out from the nations of earth a people for his name, WhICh people shall become a part of his Theocratic Government. God limited the number of those who shall be associated with Christ Jesus in his Government. Each one of these chosen ones must take the wise course and continually and faithfully walk therein even unto death. It appears that the greater number of those who have taken the wise course, and have been taken out by J ehovah for his name, have :finished their earthly course and that only the remnant now remain on earth; and to such remaining ones God has assigned the duty and privilege of bearing testimony to his name and to his kingdom. This they must do until his due time to exercise his supreme power against the adversary and the adversary's entire organization. W 7/15/41 February 21 He Shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the -ends of the earth.-Ps. 72:8. The authority conferred upon him by Jehovah means that the territory of the dominion of Christ the King-Father belongs to him, and not to his SUbjects. The people will occupy the earth and glorify it in trust. That is a sacred and blessed trust, which the children of The King shall have the privilege and joy of executing. Thus the Lord confers -on his children a great and wonderful privilege and honor. This great King is "The Seed of Abraham" according to God's promise first given to Abraham, and He shall own the earth, and his children shall beautify it and use it to Jehovah's glory forever. His first work upon taking possession is to announce Jehovah's name and have his servants proclaim it throughout the earth, and then proceed to destroy the wicked ruler, to the end that the people may have a righteous government under which to live.
