What, then, should we expect to take place? The chief thing to be restored is the human race to life and since other Scriptures definitely fix the fact that there will be a resurrection of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and other faithful ones of old, and that these will have the first favour, we may expect 1925 to witness the return of these faithful men of Israel from the condition of death, being resurrected and fully restored to perfect humanity and made the visible, legal representatives of the new order of things on earth.” Millions Now Living Will Never Die p.88 1 of necessity would end in the fall of the year 1925, at which time the type ends and the great antitype must begin.
