The
Kingdom
Hope
Bro. Richard Williams
Minister, D’Antignac St.
Church of Christ
Cont’d from last week
The same four world
empires seem to be symbolized
through Daniel’s vision of the
“four great beasts” (Daniel
7:1-7). The first beast is “like a
lion”, and probably represents
Nebuchadnezzar’s empire. The
second beast is a “bear,” which
represents the Medo-Persian
empire - its “three ribs” being
Babylon, Lydia, and Egypt.
The third beast is “like a
leopard”, which would be the
Grecian empire; and the fourth
beast, not named, but like iron,
is probably the Roman empire,
“dreadful and terrible.”
Kingdoms would rise and fall,
as Daniel sees them, but “one
like the Son of Man,” Christ,
will establish the everlasting
kingdom for the saints of the
most high (Daniel 7:7-18).
In Jesus’ time, the popular
mind contained national and
political hopes of the kingdom.
These hopes were based on the
belief in the restoration of
national independence under a
Davidic prince, and fed by
hatred of Rome.
I believe that a good way of
looking at the Kingdom Hope
is in a series of stages of
development. Jesus taught that
the Kingdom was like the
development of a full ear of
com from a seed that was
planted (Mark 4:27-29). The
Kingdom Hope may be
observed from a prophetic
sense in the Old Testament
because the prophets
prophesied its existence. In the
New Testament, the Kingdom
may be observed as the
Kingdom in preparation. John,
the Baptizer, preached that
“the Kingdom of Heaven is at
hand” (Mark 1:15). He did not
say it was on hand. His mission
was to “prepare a people for
the Lord,” that they might be
enabled to enter the Kingdom
(Matt. 18-1-3) (John 3:3-5).
Jesus taught that the Kingdom
was nigh. He taught it was
near, not here.
The next stage of the
‘Kingdom is the kingdom in
reality or in existence on the
earth as being fully developed.
Jesus told his disciples that
some of them would not taste
death until they saw “the
Kingdom come with power”
(Mark 9:1). It seems that this
passage indicates that the
Kindgom would come when
the power came.
Before Jesus left the earth
he counselled with his
disciples. Many of them
thought of a material kingdom
and asked Jesus, “Lord, will
you at this time restore the
Kingdom to Israel?” He
answered: “It is not for you to
know the times or the seasons
which the Father has fixed by
his own authority” (Acts
1:6-7).
It seems that the Lord fixed
the coming of the Kingdom in
conjunction with the coming
of the power. Jesus continued
his discourse with the disciples
by saying, “But you shall
receive power when the Holy
Ghost has come upon y0u...”
(Acts 1:8). They were earlier
instructed to tarry in Jerusalem
for the Holy Ghost which
would bring the power unto
them (Acts 1:4-5).
The Kingdom became a
reality on the day of Pentecost
in Jerusalem after the Holy
Ghost came upon those to
whom he was promised (Acts
2:1-5). Peter preached to the
gathered multitude the
“Christ”, and the terms of
entrance into his Kingdom -
church. Jesus mentioned earlier
that he would build his church
and would give Peter the “keys
to the Kingdom.” Christ
mention the church as being
synonymous with the Kingdom
(Matt. 16:18-19).
After the establishment of
the Kingdom - church in

Jerusalem, it grew gradually to
include the Gentiles, and
spread to all the “then known
world” during the first century
A.D. (Acts 10:1-47)
(Colossians 1:23).
The next stage of the
Kingdom may be styled as the
“everlasting kingdom” (2 Peter
1:11) or what may be called
the eternal abode with God in
the celestial heaven. Millar
Burrows, if I understand him
correctly, calls this stage of the
Kingdom the “final
consummation of the Kingdom
of God,” or the entering into
that “eternal life” (Mark
9:43-48). The idea of a king
rule and a sovereign God with
subjects under this rule cannot
be discounted in view of the
glory and grandeur of the
“everlasting kingdom” granted
to those who overcome
(Revelation 21 (c 22).
Renovation At
Tabernacle Baptist Church

'. -' w 9HII
The historic Tabernacle
Baptist Church located at the
comer of Gwinnett and
Harrison Street is in the most
extensive renovation program
since the church was built over
sixty years ago.
The impressive structure
attracts the attention of those
who pass each day with the
scaffold reaching to the top of
the tower. The major
renovalion is the repair of the
towers. The Harry Piehl
Vankerhoff firm is the
contractor for the renovation
program. Steel beams are being
installed to reinforce the
structure. Sheet metal works
will replace worn metal work
and the church building will be
painted.
In addition to the work on
the tower, the roof will be
repaired, new windows and
additional class rooms will be
added on the second and third
floors adjacent to the main
auditorium. New rest room
facilities have been installed on
the first floor, the kitchen has
been renovated and carpet has
been installed on the first floor
of the structure.
Over the years the church
has secured additional land
adjacent to the north west side
of the church for. a parking lot
on Harrison Lane and
additional property has been
purchased in front of the
church on Gwinnett Street.
The building at 1230 wfll be
renovated, for a modem
nursery kindergarten during
the year.
The Tabernacle Baptist
Church has been broadcasting
the Sunday morning service for
the past fifteen years.
The Child Development
Center has been operating for a
number of years. The Center is
licensed to care for ninety
children and there is a staff of
eight persons to supervise the
program.
Tabernacle Baptist Church
was organized August 18, 1885
by the late Dr. Charles T.

The Rev. & Mrs. N.T. Young
Sr., of Thankful Baptist
Streets. The structure still
stands even though it is vacant
at the present time.
Dr. Walker led the
congregation to the present
location in 1913. The
Tabernacle Baptist Church
grew to be one of the largest
churches in the South under
the dynamic leadership of Dr.
Walker. The Reverend Mr.
Walker served the church for
thirty five years.
After the death of Dr.
Walker, the Reverend D.F.
Thompson served the
congregation until he resigned
to accept a pastorate in
Birmingham, Alabama. Dr
D.F. Thompson was succeeded
by the late Dr. Leander Asbury
Pinkston. Dr. Pinkston served
during the dreary depression
days in the thirties and
resigned in 1945.
The church then called the
Reverend A. Leon Lowry who
served for nine years and
resigned to accept the Beulah
Baptist Church in Tampa,
Florida in 1955.
In May of 1956 the
Tabernacle Baptist Church
called the Reverend Charles S.
Hamilton. Since 1956 the
Reverend Mr. Hamilton has
served as minister of the
Tabernacle Baptist Church.
Some of the ministers who
served as interimn ministers
and associates were Rev. W.R.
Mack, I.J. Yancy, Leroy Davis,
Mack Stokes and the Rev.
Blount.
Under the leadership of the
Reverend Mr. Hamilton the
Child Development Center was
organized, a Credit Union and
the membership has been
active in civic affairs. In May of
1975 the Reverend Mr.
Hamilton received the Doctor
of Ministry Degree from

W. George Washington, Newnan,
boiler-turbine operator
His job: efficient electric service
Coal-fired generating plants supply
more than 80 percent of the electricity
produced by Georgia Power. Efficient
operation and maintenance of boilers
and turbines in these plants is impor
tant. So are employees like George
Washington, a boiler-turbine operator
at Plant Yates. He’s been with our
company since high school, building
skills and experience that led to his
present job.
Boiler-turbine operators monitor
each step in the generating process,
carefully observing every piece of
equipment and arranging for preven
tive maintenance when required. Un
like natural energy forms, electricity
must be manufactured. This calls for
human expertise, complex equipment
and large investments—about $4 in
vested for every $1 in return. And, like
nearly everything you buy, the cost of
manufacturing and delivering your
electricity has gone up.
But throughout our company, peo
ple like George Washington are finding
ways to serve you more efficiently and
economically. To help hold down the
ever-increasing cost of producing your
electricity—while making sure it’s
ready and waiting when you need it.
