being joined to Israel, it is the manner in which they will be blessed that
most churches fail to understand.

4. So how will the non-Israelites be blessed during the Millennium? Isaiah
14:1-2.

COMMENT: They will be blessed as becoming "servants and hand-
maids"! Mercy is “on Jacob” and this excludes all the other races. The
meaning of foreigners being “joined” to Israel says nothing about mercy to
foreigners; “joined” having a different meaning. So, as we read on, many
passages confirm that those joining themselves to Israel become “servants
and handmaids” to Israelites. “Possess”, as in “shall possess them,” has
the meaning of “take possession.” Israel takes “possession” of the foreign-
ers.

The “people”, as a congregation, is one unit, comprising of masters and
servants, just as the “church in the wilderness” under Moses was. There
the “congregation of the LORD” (edah) was comprised of Israelites, togeth-
er with the “mixed multitude”. In the wilderness the two groups, within the
one unit, were treated the same in regard to Law, but were treated differ-
ently in Tabernacle (Temple) service, with only the cahal (Israelites) be-
ing able to attend the tabernacle.

Should the Word of YEHOVAH God Be Taught to These Others?

Although the Messiah was talking with Israelites when he said that the rain
falls upon the good and the bad, it is obvious that the laws of science apply
equally to all races, regardless of racial origins or racial mixtures. These
laws of science are “laws of YEHOVAH God,” and therefore anyone of any
race has the physical and mental benefit of obeying them.

1. What does Romans 3:19 clearly tell us?

COMMENT: It tells us that whatever the Law contains is said only to Is-
rael, as those who were given the Law! But there is more to this than
meets the eye. The words of YEHOVAH God can be misapplied and misdi-
rected when they are known. Would teaching the Word of YEHOVAH God
assist in providing a right direction?

2. But, to what degree could the Word be heard? John 8:42-47.

COMMENT: We are told that the Edomites cannot “hear,” and that the Ca-
naanite races are to be exterminated or separated completely. If we are
