(See Acts 3, 19-21, "Whom the heaven must receive untill the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his Holy prophets since the world began." Jesus reconized God's segregation law, I note: These twelve jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Gentiles enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. (Mat 10, 5, 6), Again he reconized God's segregation law, I note: "And behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coast, and cried unto him, O Lord, thou son of David; ny daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

The making of many nations, (All the Offspring of God, through Adam, is a revelation of the curse of sin, and is a permanent law, that must stand, just as physical Death. Hence all marks of discrimination, are just as permanent as death. And when people set about to undo Gids Separating law, wether it be individuals, or Courts, they are acting in open DEFIANCE of God Almighty. God said, In the day thou eatest therof thou shalt surely die (Genesis 2, 17)., "AS in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive (I Cor 15, 22)., "Whom the he aven must receive UNTILL THE TIMES OF RESTITUTION OF ALL THINGS, (The Revise version puts the word Restitution, "RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS), "Whcih God hath spoken by the mouth of all his Holy prophets since the world began."
