@@@^As we have already seen, this symbolism shows the Christian church endowed with the sanctuary truth (Hos. 2:11). And since the Seventh-day Adventist church is known to be the only one with this doctrine, it is evident that this symbolical prophecy of church history brings us this side of 1844 A.D. to the founding of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination. Consequently, the allegory now reveals her present condition, and God’s counsel to her.@9 @7
Hebrews 29:2
@@@^“Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you. Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow: for thus saith the Lord God of Israel There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.@9 @7
Hebrews 29:4
@@@^“And Achan . . . was taken.” And he “answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done: when I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.@9 @7
Hebrews 31:4
@@@^Had not this remarkable judicial writ been intended for “an ensample,” God would not have designated the very place of Achan’s punishment. His execution, then, in the valley of Achor, points forward to the time of an antitypical execution within the Christian church. Hence, this antitypical valley of Achor, her door of hope, can but point to the destruction of the sinners, tares in her midst, her illegitimate children. (See @9Testimonies@7, Vol. 5, p. 80.)@9 @7
Hebrews 32:2
@@@^The type also shows that God will undertake this “clean work . . . among His professed people,” just before He entrusts them with His very last message to the world — the message of “the great and dreadful day of the Lord” (Mal. 4:5). The power of this dreadful day is to lighten the earth with its glory (Rev. 18:1), and enable His people to re-possess the anti-typical promised land — the earth. So when the worthless material is consumed, the church, “clad in complete armor of light and righteousness, . . . enters upon her final conflict . . . and the influence of the truth testifies to the world of its sanctifying, ennobling character . . . ” — @9Testimonies to Ministers@7, pp. 17, 18.@9 @7
Hebrews 35:1
@@@^Developing still further the subject of the purification, the Spirit of Prophecy discloses that “those who have proved themselves unfaithful will not then be entrusted with the flock.” But “the Lord has faithful servants who in the shaking, testing time will be @9disclosed to view@7.” In other words, after the old set of servants, who have unfitted themselves for service, are put away, and the church thereby purified, God will then “disclose to view” the faithful and true, those whom He can trust as under-shepherds of His flock.@9 @7
Hebrews 36:1
@@@^The words “thoroughly purge His floor” denote an absolute purging which leaves her without spot wrinkle, or any such thing. Not until this “clean work” is accomplished, can God logically say to those who are in Babylon: “Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Rev. 18:4. Indeed, were He to do no better than simply bring them into another place where sin still abounds, He might far better leave them right where they are. This final work for the church, being of such great importance, is still further elucidated in the prophecy of Malachi 3.
Hebrews 37:5
@@@^And though the typical first-born lost their priestly inheritance to the Levites, yet in the restitution of all things, in the final Davidian Period (Acts 15:16), this office will be restored to the antitypical first-born, the firstfruits of the harvest (Rev. 14:4), for they are “the servants of our God.” Rev. 7:3. This restoration, therefore, is to follow their
Hebrews 38:1
@@@^If with but one Achan in the camp, the Israel of Joshua’s time was powerless to stand before the heathen, then what hope has modem Israel, with @9hundreds@7 of Achans (@9Testimonies@7 Vol. 5, p. 157) in her midst, to stand through the approaching “time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation”? Today as yesterday, there is for her but one “door of hope” — “the valley of Achor.” There setting her free from sinners forever, God will then bring her out jubilantly singing as in the days of her “youth” and as in the day when she came up “out of the land of Egypt.”
Hebrews 38:3
@@@^She shall then no longer call Him “my Lord,” but rather “my Husband (margin). The relationship of a husband being closer than that of a lord it denotes an elevation to a more intimate connection and walk with God. And that this elevation is the direct result of reformation, is evidenced in the words:
Hebrews 39:1
@@@^When God has taken His people through this “refining purifying process” (@9Testimonies@7, Vol. 3 p. 541), and has brought them forth as fine gold seven times purified, with the dross burned out forever then will He be able to fulfill His promise:
Hebrews 39:4
@@@^If God’s people but sufficiently sensed their unpreparedness to meet the coming crisis, and could but see themselves standing, as it were, before the mouth of the dragon, they would tremble and faint for fear. But, alas, the pall of insensibility enveloping them is so great that he who comes as a harbinger of hope and release, instead of being gratefully welcomed, is viciously attacked as though he were a fiendish Harpy or some Gorgon or Hydra-headed monster; and all because they know not the hour of their visitation, when the Lord will destroy them in His fury, and save the righteous in
Hebrews 40:1
@@@^The fact that the names of the children in Hosea’s vision are Lo-ruhamah (no mercy) and Lo-ammi (not My people) when representing the Old Testament period, signifies, as previously seen, that God could no longer extend mercy to the members of His church. So when He punished them by the heathen, the innocent suffered alike with the guilty. But the names Ruhamah (mercy) and Ammi (My people) show that now, in the latter day period, He will have mercy upon them by destroying the wicked only, sparing all the righteous.
Hebrews 41:1
@@@^The Scripture, “she shall sing there [in the New Testament period], as in the days of her youth [as in her first state in the Old Testament period], and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt” (Hos. 2:15), attests that the experience of God’s ancient people in going out of Haran, and out of Egypt, will be repeated at the present time: “And there shall be an highway for the remnant of His people which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.” Isa. 11:16. Thus “in that day shall the Branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the @9fruit@7 of the earth shall be @9excellent@7 and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
Hebrews 44:2
@@@^“Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.” Zech. 4:6. In other words, the workers will be “taught rather by the unction of His Spirit, than by the outward training of scientific institutions . . . God will manifest that He is not dependent on learned, self-important mortals.” “The most weak and hesitating in the church, will be as David — willing to do and dare.” — @9Testimonies@7, Vol. 5, pp. 82, 81.
Hebrews 45:2
@@@^To these workers the Lord is graciously saying: “And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien [those who are not of the 144,000] shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers. But ye shall be named the Priests of the Lord: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.” Isa. 61:5, 6. What an exalted privilege to be able to acknowledge no master but Christ, and to engage only in His work and live on His substance!
Hebrews 47:1
@@@^My brethren, if you choose to have a part in this grandest-of-all work, the crowning act in the redemption of the world, you must now quickly make ready. Let not the cares of this life rob you of the crown of eternal life. Do not offer excuses for not making the change; stand not on the side of those who shall say: “I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused;” or, “I have bought five yoke of oxen and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused;” or, “I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.” Luke 14:18-20. “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.” 1 John 2:16, 17.
Hebrews 47:3
@@@^“Time,” says the Spirit of Prophecy, “is short, and our forces must be organized to do a larger work. Laborers are needed who comprehend the greatness of the work, and who will engage in it, not for the wages they receive, but from a realization of the nearness of the end. The time demands greater efficiency and deeper consecration. O, I am so full of this subject that I cry to God, “Raise up and send forth messengers filled with a sense of their responsibility, messengers in whose hearts self-idolatry, which lies at the foundation of all sin, has been crucified.’ “ — @9Testimonies,@7 Vol. 9, p. 27.
Hebrews 49:1
@@@^He “will use ways and means by which it will be seen that He is taking the reins in His own hands. The workers will be surprised by the simple means that He will use to bring about and perfect His work of righteousness.” — @9Testimonies to Ministers@7, p. 300. And so God will “take charge of the flock Himself.” — @9Testimonies@7, Vol. 5, p. 80. (See also our Tract No. 1.)
Hebrews 50:2
@@@^This evidence upon evidence makes clear that after the 144,000 are sealed and separated from among the wicked in the church, God “will send . . . them unto the nations,” where “they shall @9declare@7” His “glory among the @9Gentiles.@7 And they shall bring @9all@7 your brethren for an offering unto the Lord out of @9all@7 nations . . . in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.” Isa. 66:19, 20.
