W. B. Godbey - Enter His Rest

Bridehood having their places in perfect harmony and symmetry, with infinite delight serving our glorified King
of kings, as He rules all nations in righteousness and love, I. e., with a rod of iron, Rev. 19:15). While the
millennial reign will be in righteousness and love, yet we see here the rod of iron, which will preclude all overt
sin.
The people will be free and still on probation, so that they can commit sin, but in the absence of Satan and all of
his myrmidons to tempt them it is not at all probable that they will. Yet, in the event that any do rebel against the
authority of the King, such will be suddenly cut off and dropped into Hell.
As all the Apostles went to their respective fields of labor and suffered martyrdom, there is at least a probability
that each one will receive his original evangelistic field in the glorious coming kingdom. In the prophecies,
America is included with Europe, as we are all Europeans. Oh, what incalculable inspirations pass over the
inspired pages, filling every Christian heart with the gladdening enthusiasm for a place in the Bridehood and a
participation in the glorious millennial reign as the subordinates of our blessed Christ!
(17.) ”THE CHRISTHOOD AND THE ANTI-CHRISTHOOD.” This booklet expounds the wonderful
Christhood in its infinitesimal official ramifications through His numberless ministers after the order of
Melchizedec, filling the whole earth and continuing forever, uninterrupted by death, as in the case of the Aaronic
ministry, but abiding eternally and, in the wonderful gracious economy, lighting the world with the glory of God
manifested through the vicarious substitutionary atonement, wrought by His Son, our glorious Christ on the
cruel cross of Calvary. Through the diversified media of His called and sent ministry, the wonderful Christ
reaches and saves all the lost souls who will appreciatively reciprocate His mercy. God out of Christ is a
consuming fire, (Heb. 12:18). God in Christ, divine and omnipotent, is the only hope of lost souls.
Anti is a Greek word which means “instead of,” as Jesus says, “Who of you is a father, and if his son ask bread,
will give him a stone, or if he ask a fish will, instead of a fish, give him a serpent?” There our Savior uses the
preposition anti before fish, meaning that the cruel father in that case gives his son the serpent as a substitute for
the fish. Satan rules this world (2 Cor. 4:4), doing his best to pass himself with the people for God, and in most
cases, especially in heathen lands, is eminently succeeding.
The Pope is the antiChrist of prophecy, generally, especially in Revelation, denominated the beast.
The Greek word is theerion, which means a wild beast, bloodthirsty, e. g., the lion, the tiger, etc. This beast
mentioned in the Bible and applied to antiChrist is the symbol of carnality which has always predominated in
the leadership of the fallen Church. The Pope boldly claims to be the vicar of Christ and the vicegerent of God,
thus actually usurping the place of Christ and robbing Him of His sovereign prerogative. He is also, in this anti-
Christian attitude, co-operated by a million of priests, dispersed throughout the whole world. We find people
who are not Roman Catholics who actually make this awful anti-Christian claim, e. g., Campbellites and
Mormons, who, instead of sending all the people to the blessed Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords, “the
only name given under Heaven among men by which it is possible to be saved,” say, “Come and join our
Church and we will immerse you in water for the re mission of your sins, and thus make you a full-fledged
Christian.” Satan in all ages has been doing his best through false prophets and counterfeit preachers to actually
usurp the throne of Christ, whereas the Lord's preachers do nothing but hide behind the cross and cry, “Behold
the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world,” thus serving as humble heralds, and telling all the
people about the wonderful Christ who alone can save. The ministers of antiChrist say to all the world, “Come
to us and we will take you in hand and you may rest easy about your souls, as you have only to do what we tell
you.” There is an irrepressible conflict in all the world between Christ, His called and sent preachers, and the
antichrists with their vast panoplied hosts who are not acquainted with God, and consequently do not claim that
He has called and sent them. The Pope and all anti-Christian preachers claim that God has turned over the
salvation of the world to them, thus clearly evincing to all clearly illuminated people that they are actually
manipulated by Satan and led captive at his will.
(18.) ”APPEAL TO POST-MILLENNIALISTS” This is another of the twenty-seven dime booklets. In this I,
in the honesty of my heart and the fear of God, with the open Bible and facing the great white throne, appeal to
my dear postmillennial brethren, feeling that they have not really the light relative to this matter, which God, in
His mercy, has given to me. Therefore in perfect love I appeal to them to halt and look the facts squarely in the
