6. Notice Paul’s comment in the Book of Hebrews. Hebrews 4:3.

COMMENT: This reference covers all those Israelites that YEHOVAH God
sent into the wilderness to perish forever because of their refusal to believe
Him.

We also know from Biblical statement that no one can enter the Kingdom
of YEHOVAH God unless they are of Israel. Therefore, it means that peo-
ple of other races have no eternal life in the Kingdom and if there is no
eternal life in the Kingdom, there is no eternal life of any kind available to
them. It is not a case of them being “condemned”; it is simply a matter of
them having no eternal life. Unworthy Israelites will die, be resurrected,
condemned, and have their spirit taken from them (this is the message of
the parable of the Ten Talents). Their lifeless bodies will be destroyed in
the Lake of Fire.

This should be a matter of concern to every individual Israelite. But if
someone of another race is to die and never to be resurrected, what does it
matter to them once they are dead? There is no awareness in the grave,
only corruption of the body. If you go to sleep and do not wake up until
lunchtime tomorrow, you will not know what time the sun rose. If you die in
your sleep, you will not know you are dead.

7. Confirmation of this can be found in the Book of Psalms -- notice! Psalm

17:14.

COMMENT: The phrase “men of the world” refers to the non-Israelite races
of the world. The International Standard Version clarifies this verse by ren-
dering it in the following fashion:
