s conclusive proof in itself
that there were true prophetesses in the church in those days.
"Teach nor to usurp authority over the man" (1 Tim. 2:12), is offered in
argument against women prophets. Such argument betrays ignorance in the

prophesying, speaking unto men to edification, exhorting, and comforting,
is not usurping authority over any one.
The Resurrection Of The Body.
_This chapter appears in Gospel Trumpet, written by H. F. Jackson._
1. Abraham. "Accounting that God was able to raise Him up, even from the
dead; from whence also he received him in a figure." Heb. 11:19.
2. Moses. "Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush,
when he called the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the
God of Jacob. For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all

3. Job. "For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at
the latter day upon the earth: and though after my skin worms destroy this
body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: whom I shall see for myself, and

4. Isaiah. "Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they

stand in thy lot at the end of the days." Dan. 12:2, 3, 13.
6. Hosea. "I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem

destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes." Hos. 13:14.
