CHRIST IN THE

SACRIFICIAL
SYSTEM
 After Adam’s sin and fall, nothing
was taken from the law of God. The
principles of the Ten
Commandments existed before the
fall, and were of a character suited
to the condition of a holy order of
beings.
 Psalm 73:17
Until I went into the
sanctuary of God; then
understood I their end.
“The correct understanding of the
ministration in the Heavenly
Sanctuary is the foundation of our
Faith”
Evangelism p. 221
 The sin of our first parents brought guilt
and sorrow upon the world, and had it not
been for the goodness and mercy of God,
would have plunged the race into
hopeless despair.
 Genesis 2:16&17And the Lord
God commanded the man, saying,
Of every tree of the garden thou
mayest freely eat:But of the tree
of the knowledge of good and
evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in
the day that thou eatest thereof
 1 Samuel 15:22
And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great
delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as
in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold,
to obey is better than sacrifice, and to
hearken than the fat of rams.
 Romans 5:19
For as by one man's disobedience
many were made sinners, so by the
obedience of one shall many be made
righteous.
 The fall of man filled all heaven with
sorrow. The world that God had made was
blighted with the curse of sin and
inhabited by beings doomed to misery
and death. There appeared no escape for
those who had transgressed the law....
 Romans 6:23
A part:
For the wages of sin is
death;
 But divine love had conceived a plan
whereby man might be redeemed. The
broken law of God demanded the life of the
sinner. In all the universe there was but one
who could, in behalf of man, satisfy its
claims. Since the divine law is as sacred as
God Himself, only one equal with God could
make atonement for its transgression.
 Romans 6:23
B part: but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
 Genesis 3:7 & 21
And the eyes of them both were opened,
and they knew that they were naked; and
they sewed fig leaves together, and made
themselves aprons.

Unto Adam also and to his wife did

the Lord God make coats of skins, and
 An Upward Look pg 378
The Lord Jesus Christ has prepared a covering—the
robe of His own righteousness—that He will put on
every repenting, believing soul who by faith will
receive it. Said John, “Behold the Lamb of God,
which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29).
Sin is the transgression of the law. Christ died to
make it possible for every man to have his sins
taken away.
A fig-leaf apron will never cover our nakedness. Sin
must be taken away, and the garment of Christ's
righteousness must cover the transgressor of God's
law. Then when the Lord looks upon the believing
sinner, He sees, not the fig leaves covering him, but
Christ's own robe of righteousness, which is perfect
obedience to the law of Jehovah. Man has hidden
his nakedness, not under a covering of fig leaves,
but under the robe of Christ's righteousness.
Sin is disloyalty to God, and [is] deserving of punishment.
Fig leaves sewed together have been employed since the
days of Adam, yet the nakedness of the soul of the sinner
is not covered. All the arguments pieced together by all
who have interested themselves in this flimsy robe will
come to nought. Sin is the transgression of the law. Christ
was manifest in our world to take away transgression and
sin, and to substitute for the covering of fig leaves the
pure robes of His righteousness. The law of God stands
vindicated by the suffering and death of the only begotten
Son of the infinite God.
 The transgression of God's law in a single instance, in the
smallest particular, is sin. And the non-execution of the
penalty of that sin would be a crime in the divine
administration. God is a judge, the avenger of justice,
which is the habitation and foundation of His throne. He
cannot dispense with His law, He cannot do away with its
smallest item in order to meet and pardon sin. The
rectitude and justice and moral excellence of the law must
be maintained and vindicated before the heavenly
universe and the worlds unfallen.
Manuscript 145, December 30,

 To man the first intimation of redemption
was communicated in the sentence
pronounced upon Satan in the garden. The
Lord declared, “I will put enmity between
thee and the woman, and between thy seed
and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and
thou shalt bruise his heel.” Genesis 3:15.

KJV Jeremiah 6:22
I have likened the daughter of Zion to
a comely and delicate woman.
This sentence, uttered in the hearing of our
first parents, was to them a promise. While
it foretold war between man and Satan, it
declared that the power of the great
adversary would finally be
broken.... Though they must suffer from the
power of their mighty foe, they could look
forward to final victory.
 KJV 2 Timothy 3:12

Yea, and all that will live godly in

Heavenly angels more fully opened to
our first parents the plan that had
been devised for their salvation. Adam
and his companion were assured that
notwithstanding their great sin, they
were not to be abandoned to the
control of Satan.
The Son of God had offered to atone,
with His own life, for their
transgression. A period of probation
would be granted them, and through
repentance, and faith in Christ, they
might again become the children of
God
 KJV Acts 2:37&38 Now when they heard this,
they were pricked in their heart, and said unto
Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and
brethren, what shall we do?
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be
baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus
Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall
receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
 KJV Romans 8:14
For as many as are led by
the Spirit of God, they are
the sons of God.
 The Sacred Character of God’s
Law
The sacrifice demanded by their
transgression, revealed to Adam and
Eve the sacred character of the law of
God; and they saw, as they had never
seen before, the guilt of sin, and its
 The law of God existed before man was
created. The angels were governed by
it. Satan fell because he transgressed the
principles of God’s government. After
Adam and Eve were created, God made
known to them His law. It was not then
written, but was rehearsed to them by
Jehovah..
The principles were more explicitly
stated to man after the fall, and
worded to meet the case of fallen
intelligences. This was necessary in
consequence of the minds of men
being blinded by transgression.
KJV Isaiah 59:1 Behold, the LORD'S hand
is not shortened, that it cannot save;
neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
KJV Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have
separated between you and your God,
and your sins have hid his face from you,
that he will not hear.
A system was then established requiring
the sacrificing of beasts, to keep before
fallen man that which the serpent made
Eve disbelieve, that the penalty of
disobedience is death. The transgression
of God’s law made it necessary for Christ
to die a sacrifice, and thus make a way
possible for man to escape the penalty,

To Adam, the offering of the first sacrifice was
a most painful ceremony. His hand must be
raised to take life, which only God could
give. It was the first time he had ever
witnessed death, and he knew that had he
been obedient to God, there would have been
no death of man or beast
 Adam was commanded to teach his
descendants the fear of the Lord, and, by
his example and humble obedience, teach
them to highly regard the offerings which
typified a Saviour to come. Adam carefully
treasured what God had revealed to him,
and handed it down by word of mouth to his
children and children’s children.
In the sacrificial offering on
every altar was seen a
Redeemer. With the cloud of
incense arose from every
contrite heart the prayer
that God would accept their
offerings as showing faith in
the coming Saviour.

 Chapter 17-The Sin-Offering
In none of the types was the individual worshiper brought
into so close touch with the sanctuary service as in the sin-
offering. There is no part of religious worship that brings
the individual worshiper into such close touch with the Lord
as when he kneels at the Saviour’s feet, confessing his
sins, and knowing the strength of the promise, “If we
confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our
sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” It is then
that the repentant sinner touches the hem of the Master’s
garment, and receives his healing power in the soul.
Sin is the transgression of the law of God. The one who had “done
somewhat against any of the commandments of the Lord“ was
guilty of sin; and in order to be free from sin, he must bring an
offering, that by seeing the innocent victim die for his sins he
might more fully comprehend how the innocent Lamb of God could
offer his life for the sins of the world. If the sinner was a priest,
filling that holy office where the influence of his wrong course
would cause others to stumble, then he was to bring a bullock, an
expensive animal, as a sin-offering; but if he was one of the
common people, he could bring a kid or a lamb. The value of the
animal to be offered was determined by the position held by the
transgressor.
 The sin offering was brought into the court of
the sanctuary, to the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation. 1 The sinner, with his hands
laid upon the head of the lamb, confessed
over it all his sins, and then with his own hand
he killed it.

.
Christ, in counsel with His
Father, instituted the
system of sacrificial
offerings; that death,
instead of being
immediately visited upon
the transgressor, should
be transferred to a victim
which should prefigure the
great and perfect offering
 The great truth that was to be kept before men, and
imprinted upon mind and heart, was this, “Without
shedding of blood is no remission.” In every bleeding
sacrifice was typified “the Lamb of God, which taketh
away the sin of the world.” Christ Himself was the
originator of the Jewish system of worship, in which, by
types and symbols, were shadowed forth spiritual and
heavenly things. Many forgot the true significance of
these offerings; and the great truth that through Christ
alone there is forgiveness of sin, was lost to them. The
multiplying of sacrificial offerings, the blood of bulls and

God a more excellent
sacrifice than

blood he looked forward
to the future sacrifice, Christ

Calvary; and trusting in the
atonement that was there to
be made, he had witness
that he was righteous, and
God Made Provisions for
every class of people.
 The work of God's dear Son in undertaking to link the
created with the Uncreated, the finite with the Infinite, in
His own divine person, is a subject that may well employ
our thoughts for a lifetime. This work of Christ was to
confirm the beings of other worlds in their innocency and
loyalty, as well as to save the lost and perishing of this
world. He opened a way for the disobedient to return to
their allegiance to God, while by the same act He placed
a safeguard around those who were already pure, that
they might not become polluted.—
The Review and Herald, January 11, 1881.
 The divine Son of God was the only sacrifice of sufficient
value to fully satisfy the claims of God's perfect law. The
angels were sinless, but of less value than the law of God.
They were amenable to law. They were messengers to do
the will of Christ, and before Him to bow. They were
created beings, and probationers. Upon Christ no
requirements were laid. He had power to lay down His life,
and to take it again. No obligation was laid upon Him to
undertake the work of atonement. It was a voluntary
sacrifice that He made. His life was of sufficient value to
rescue man from his fallen condition.—
 The Burnt Offering
The whole burnt-offering had its origin at the
gate of the garden of Eden, 1 and extended to
the cross; and it will never lose its significance
as long as mankind is subject to temptation
and sin. The entire sacrifice was laid upon the
altar and burned, 2 typifying not only a
surrender of sin, but a consecration of the
entire life to the service of God.
The accounts of the burnt-offerings in the Bible are a
history of wonderful victories when individuals drew
near to God by putting away their sins and
surrendering their lives and all they possessed to the
service of the Lord. Abraham’s great test of faith was
a burnt-offering upon Mount Moriah. 7 Gideon’s
wonderful victories dated from the whole burnt-
offerings offered before the Lord when he, by those
offerings, showed he surrendered all to the Lord to be
consumed on the altar as the Lord directed.
The whole burnt-offering was offered as an atonement
for sin. The individual making the offering laid his
hands on the head of the animal, confessing his
sins; and then, if it was from the flock or the herd,
with his own hands he took its life. If the burnt-
offering was a bird, the priest killed the offering. The
blood was sprinkled round about upon the brazen
altar, in type of the cleansing blood of Christ, and
then the offering was burned upon the altar.

overlaid with brass; the laver and all
the vessels of the court that were used
in the services connected with the
altar, were of brass.
 The great brazen altar was placed between
the sanctuary and the gate, but nearer the
gate than the sanctuary. No part of the
sanctuary or of the court was made according
to the plans of men; but every part was
fashioned after the divine model. When the
Lord had given Moses the directions in regard
to making the brazen altar, He added, “As it
was showed thee in the mount, so shall they

 The altar was a hollow box, five cubits square and three
cubits high, made of boards of acacia wood. There was a
horn of the same wood on each corner. A network of brass
in the center held the fire and gave draft for it, and
allowed the ashes to fall beneath. The entire altar with the
horns was all overlaid with brass. It was “an altar most
holy: whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy,” was
the divine decree. It was because of this, no doubt, that
Adonijah and Joab fled and caught hold of the horns of the
altar when they feared death at the hands of

attained when the impulse to help and
bless others springs constantly from
within. It is the atmosphere of this love
surrounding the soul of the believer that
makes him a savor of life unto life and
enables God to bless his work. {AA 551}
 Also, Paul referred to this altar as a type of
Christ. All the work connected with the altar
of burnt-offering typified the work connected
with the destruction of sin, a work which
Christ alone can do. The Father has delivered
into the hands of His Son the final destruction
of sin and sinners.
Acts 17
 No sacrifice was ever slain within the
sanctuary; but the offerings were slain in the
court, and the blood and flesh were carried

the antitypical sanctuary in the heavens with
His own blood and the same body in which He
bore our sins on Calvary.

done in the earth, while the work performed in the first
and second apartments of the sanctuary was typical of
work done in heaven.

EARTH
HEAVEN
 The constant burning upon the altar of that which
typified sin, caused an accumulation of ashes. The
priests in the earthly sanctuary served “unto the
example and shadow of heavenly things,” and
even the removal of the ashes was directed of the
Lord to be done in a manner to typify a portion of
the final work of Christ. The priest was to be clothed
in the pure white linen garments, when he removed
the ashes from the altar. The ashes were first taken
up by the priest and placed “beside the altar” on
When the time came to remove them
from beside the altar, the priest laid
aside his priestly robes, and “put on
other garments;” then he carried the
ashes forth without the camp, and
poured them out in “a clean place.”
 Ashes are all that will remain of sin, the devil and
sinners after the fires of the last day have finished
their work. When the purifying fires of the Lord have
removed the last trace of sin, there will appear a
new earth, a clean place, without one taint of sin
upon it; and as the righteous walk over the face of
the clean, pure earth, the ashes of sin and all that
clung to sin in this earth will be under their feet.
Truly the type will then have met its antitype, and
the ashes of all sin will be in “a clean place.”
Leviticus 6
When the priest placed the ashes beside the altar,
he was clothed in his priestly robes. The ashes
represented the confessed sins of the righteous.
When Christ bears the confessed sins of His people,
He wears His priestly robes; but the time comes
when He will place the sins of the righteous on the
head of Satan, lay aside His priestly garments, and
come to this earth clad in kingly robes, to gather
out of His kingdom all things that offend and do
iniquity.
 Then all sin and sinners will be burned in
the fire. Not in priestly robes will Christ
come out into the antitypical court, the
earth, to complete the final destruction of
sin; but as King of kings and Lord of lords.

And he made the laver of brass, and
the foot of it of brass, of the
lookingglasses of the women
assembling, which assembled at the
door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
 The laver was between the brazen altar and the
door of the sanctuary. The laver and its base were
both of brass. Water was kept in them, for the
priests to wash both their hands and their feet
before they entered the sanctuary to perform any
service. They were also required to wash both
hands and feet before they went “near the altar to
minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the
Lord.” Death was the penalty for performing service
at the altar or within the tabernacle without first
 As the people in the court beheld the
priests wash in the water before they
performed the work of the holy office, may
it not have taught them the truth that
Christ gave to Nicodemus, “Except a man
be born of water and of the Spirit, he
cannot enter into the kingdom of God”?
Quoted from CIS
 John 3: 3-5
“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say
unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the
kingdom of God.”
Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when
he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's
womb, and be born?
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a
man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter
into the kingdom of God

 Unlike our looking-glasses made of silvered glass,
which did not come into use till the thirteenth
century, these primitive looking-glasses were made
chiefly of an alloy of copper, tin, and lead, wrought
with such admirable skill that it was capable of
receiving the highest and most enduring polish. The
mirror itself was a round or pear-shaped plate, often
encircled with a wreath of leaves, or adorned with
figures engraved upon the rim; and it was attached
to a handle often carved with some elegant form of
life

 The Bible is of the highest value because it is
the word of the living God. Of all the books in
the world it is the most deserving of study and
attention, for it is eternal wisdom. The Bible is
a history that tells us of the creation of the
world and opens to us past centuries. Without
it we should have been left to conjecture and
fable in regard to the occurrences of the
remote past.

Jesus did not receive baptism as a confession of guilt

sinners, taking the steps that we are to take, and
doing the work that we must do. His life of suffering
and patient endurance after His baptism was also an
example to us.
Desire of Ages Ch.11
We are to bear the yoke of Christ that we may be
placed in complete union with him. “Take my yoke
upon you,” he says. Obey my requirements. But
these requirements may be in direct opposition to
the will and purposes of the human agent. What
then is to be done?—Hear what God says: “If any
man will come after me, let him deny himself, and
take up his cross daily, and follow me.” The yoke
and the cross are symbols
 Wearing the yoke unites finite man in
companionship with the dearly beloved Son of God.
Lifting the cross cuts away self from the soul, and
places man where he learns how to bear Christ's
burdens. We can not follow Christ without wearing
his yoke, without lifting the cross and bearing it
after him. If our will is not in accord with the divine
requirements, we are to deny our inclinations, give
up our darling desires, and step in Christ's
footsteps.

Exodus 28
The garments worn by the ordinary priests were of white
linen, a fit emblem of the Spotless One of whom their
ministry was a type. The outer robe was white, woven in
one piece, and extended nearly to the feet. It was
confined at the waist with a white linen girdle,
embroidered in blue, purple, and scarlet. A white linen
miter, or turban, covered the head. These articles, with
the linen breeches which were worn by all officiating
priests, completed the costume of the common priest.
These garments of white linen were made “for glory and
for beauty.
Only the family of Aaron could
wear the rich garments of the
priest; but there are robes of
“fine linen, clean and white,“ in
store for every overcomer. Even
in this life, Christ clothes His
faithful ones with “the garments
of salvation” and “the robe of
righteousness.”
 The pure white garments were worn by
the high priest on ordinary occasions, but
when he entered the most holy place to
make atonement for the people, he was
clad in gorgeous robes, which fitly
represented our High Priest as He
confesses the names of His people before
the judgment-seat of the judge of the

 Psalms 55:22
“Cast thy burden upon the
LORD, and he shall sustain
thee: he shall never suffer the
righteous to be moved.”
 Thus Jesus invites the weary and care-laden sons
and daughters of Adam to come to him, and lay on
him their heavy burdens. But many who hear this
invitation, while sighing for rest, yet press on the
rugged path, hugging their burdens close to their
heart. Jesus loves them, and longs to bear their
burdens and themselves also in his strong arms.
He would remove the fears and uncertainties that
rob them of peace and rest; but they must first
come to him, and tell him the secret woes of their
 He invites the confidence of his people as the
proof of their love for him. The gift of the humble,
trusting heart is more precious to him than all the
wealth that riches can bestow. If they would only
come to him in the simplicity and confidence with
which a child would come to his parents, the
divine touch of his hands would relieve them of
their burdens. The Signs of the Times March 17,

 The breastplate was of the same
material as the ephod. It was in the
form of a square and measured a
span. In it were set in gold twelve
precious stones, arranged three in a

Around these was a border of a
variety of stones. The stones in the

 The Center of Christ's Atoning Work—The
subject of the sanctuary and the investigative
judgment should be clearly understood by the
people of God. All need a knowledge for
themselves of the position and work of their
great High Priest. Otherwise, it will be
impossible for them to exercise the faith which
is essential at this time, or to occupy the
position which God designs them to fill.
 Every individual has a soul to save or to lose.
Each has a case pending at the bar of God. Each
must meet the great Judge face to face. How
important, then, that every mind contemplate
often the solemn scene when the judgment shall
sit and the books shall be opened, when, with
Daniel, every individual must stand in his lot, at
the end of the days. Evangelism 221.3
The Priest Garment
Continues
 There was one other article
belonging to the high priest’s
garments,-the miter, or
bonnet. A gold plate bearing
the inscription, “Holiness to
Jehovah,” was fastened by a
blue lace to the front of the
white bonnet, or turban, worn
by the priests
 No priest was allowed to wear the
priestly garments except when
officiating in the sanctuary or court
CIS. Ch12
 1 Peter 2:9
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal
priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar
people; that ye should shew forth the
praises of him who hath called you out of
darkness into his marvellous light:
Are we officiating in the court of the
Lord?

Are we wearing the correct Garment?

Read Matthew
22: 1-14
 In the parable of Matthew 22 the same figure of the
marriage is introduced, and the investigative judgment is
clearly represented as taking place before the marriage...
He who is found wanting is cast out, but all who upon
examination are seen to have the wedding garment on are
accepted of God and accounted worthy of a share in His
kingdom and a seat upon His throne. This work of
examination of character, of determining who are prepared
for the kingdom of God, is that of the investigative
judgment, the closing of work in the sanctuary above. {GC
428}
 There is a touching significance in the
high priest’s wearing the names of all
Israel on his shoulders and over his heart
as he performed the work which typified
the judgment, when the case of every one
will come up in review before God. The
breastplate was called “the breastplate of
judgment.”
Those names engraved on the stones were
a type of the names of the overcomers,
which Christ will confess before His father
and the angels. Stone is an enduring
substance, but far more enduring is the
book of life, where the names which Christ
has confessed, are written to remain
forever. CIS ch12
1 John 5:4
All who have received the light upon these
subjects are to bear testimony of the
great truths which God has committed to
them. The sanctuary in heaven is the very
center of Christ's work in behalf of men. It
concerns every soul living upon the earth.
It opens to view the plan of redemption,
bringing us down to the very close of
 and revealing the triumphant issue of the
contest between righteousness and sin. It
is of the utmost importance that all should
thoroughly investigate these subjects, and
be able to give an answer to every one
that asketh them a reason of the hope
that is in them.—

JESUS is the Light of

 John 8:12
King James Version
Then spake Jesus again unto them,
saying, I am the light of the world: he
that followeth me shall not walk in
darkness, but shall have the light of life.
 Light was before them. As the moon
and the stars of the solar system shine
by the reflected light of the sun, so, as
far as their teaching is true, do the
world's great thinkers reflect the rays
of the Sun of Righteousness. Every
gem of thought, every flash of the
KJV John 9:5 As long as I am
in the world, I am the light
of the world.
 Lesson 3
We are Called to be the Light
of the World also.
The church of Christ is the candlestick to hold up the light
in the midst of moral darkness. The Saviour says, “Ye are
the light of the world.” The Spirit of the Lord is said to be
the eyes of the Lord which “run to and fro throughout the
whole earth, strongly to hold with them whose heart is
perfect toward Him.” 9 Then the brightness of our light
depends upon the condition of our heart. The Spirit is
searching throughout the earth for those whose hearts are
perfect toward God, and it will “strongly hold” with such
ones: their light will not burn dim.
 KJV Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A
city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

KJV Matthew 5:15 Neither do men light a candle,

and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and
it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
KJV Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before
men, that they may see your good works, and
glorify your Father which is in heaven.
 True character is not shaped from without, and put
on; it radiates from within. If we wish to direct
others in the path of righteousness, the principles
of righteousness must be enshrined in our own
hearts. Our profession of faith may proclaim the
theory of religion, but it is our practical piety that
holds forth the word of truth. The consistent life,
the holy conversation, the unswerving integrity, the
active, benevolent spirit, the godly example,—these
are the mediums through which light is conveyed to
Then Trim your
Lamps
 The subject of the sanctuary
and the investigative judgment
should be clearly understood by
the people of God.”—
The Great Controversy, 488.
 “I know that the sanctuary question stands in
righteousness and truth, just as we have held it for so
many years. It is the enemy that leads minds off on
sidetracks. He is pleased when those who know the
truth become engrossed in collecting scriptures to
pile around erroneous theories, which have no
foundation in truth. The scriptures thus used are
misapplied; they were not given to substantiate error,
but to strengthen truth.”—Gospel Workers, 303.
 None but the high priest could perform the sacred
work of lighting the lamps in the earthly sanctuary;
he trimmed and lighted them each morning and
evening. So none but our High Priest, who was
“tempted in all points like as we are,” can give us
the help we need. In the morning we need His Spirit
to direct us during the day; and at evening we need
it to enlighten our minds as we review the work of
the day, that we may detect the flaws and dropped
threads in the warp of our lives.
 The trimming and lighting of the lamps
was a beautiful type with a daily lesson
for us at the present time. It was a link in
that marvelous threefold typical chain of
service celebrated each morning and
evening, while “the whole multitude of the
people were praying without” the
sanctuary

golden pipes into the golden bowl from which

oil represents the Holy Spirit. With this oil
God's ministers are to be constantly supplied,
that they, in turn, may impart it to church.
 God's servants can obtain victories only by inward
purity, by cleanness of heart, by holiness. It is of
the utmost importance that ministers set a right
example. If they follow lax, loose principles, their
example is quoted by those who are doing wrong as
a vindication of their course. The whole synagogue
of Satan is watching for defects in the lives of God's
representatives, and the most is made of every
defect.—
The Review and Herald, December 22, 1904.
 Many receive the truth readily, but they fail to assimilate
truth, and its influence is not abiding. They are like the
foolish virgins, who had no oil in their vessels with their
lamps. Oil is a symbol of the Holy Spirit, which is brought
into the soul through faith in Jesus Christ. Those who
earnestly search the Scriptures with much prayer, who
rely upon God with firm faith, who obey his
commandments, will be among those who are represented
as wise virgins. The teachings of the word of God are not
yea and nay, but yea and amen. The requirement of the
gospel is far-reaching. Says the apostle,
 Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the
name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and
the Father by him.” “Whether therefore ye eat, or
drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of
God.” Practical piety will not be attained by giving
the grand truths of the Bible a place in the outer
courts of the heart. The religion of the Bible must
be brought into the large and the little affairs of life.
It must furnish the powerful motives and principles
that will regulate the Christian's character and

emergency, and the other was found without
preparation.
 Character is revealed by circumstances.
Emergencies bring out the true metal of
character. Some sudden and unlooked-for
calamity, bereavement, or crisis, some
unexpected sickness or anguish, something
that brings the soul face to face with death,
will bring out the true inwardness of the
character. It will be made manifest whether or
not there is any real faith in the promises of

Sabbath Preparation 2
 In all that pertains to the success of God's
work, the very first victories are to be won in
the home life. Here the preparation for the
Sabbath must begin. Throughout the week let
parents remember that their home is to be a
school in which their children shall be
prepared for the courts above. Let their words
be right words. No words which their children
should not hear are to escape their lips. Let
Parents, during the week live as in the sight of a
holy God, who has given you children to train for
Him. Train for Him the little church in your home,
that on the Sabbath all may be prepared to
worship in the Lord's sanctuary. Each morning
and evening present your children to God as His
blood-bought heritage. Teach them that it is
their highest duty and privilege to love and
serve God.
Sabbath Preparation 3
 There is another work that should receive
attention on the preparation day. On this day all
differences between brethren, whether in the
family or in the church, should be put away. Let
all bitterness and wrath and malice be expelled
from the soul. In a humble spirit, “confess your
faults one to another, and pray one for another,
that ye may be healed.” James 5:16.
Sabbath Preparation 4
 Nothing which will in the sight of Heaven be regarded as a
violation of the holy Sabbath should be left unsaid or undone,
to be said or done upon the Sabbath. God requires not only
that we refrain from physical labor upon the Sabbath, but that
the mind be disciplined to dwell upon sacred themes. The
fourth commandment is virtually transgressed by conversing
upon worldly things or by engaging in light and trifling
conversation. Talking upon anything or everything which may
come into the mind is speaking our own words. Every
deviation from right brings us into bondage and
condemnation. Counsel for the Church 263.4

By the transforming agency of His grace, the
image of God is reproduced in the disciple; he
becomes a new creature. Love takes the place of
hatred, and the heart receives the divine
similitude. This is what it means to live "by every
word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
This is eating the Bread that comes down from
heaven. {DA 391}
 The priests served “unto the example and
shadow of heavenly things;” therefore there is
a heavenly lesson for us in the antitype of the
showbread. It was a continual offering, ever
before the Lord. It taught that man was wholly
dependent upon God for both temporal and
spiritual food, and that both alike come to us
through the One who “ever liveth to make
intercession” for us before the Father. CIS 56.2
Why did the Bread had to
be Unleavened?
 Among the Jews leaven was sometimes used as an
emblem of sin. At the time of the Passover the people
were directed to remove all the leaven from their houses
as they were to put away sin from their hearts. Christ
warned His disciples, "Beware ye of the leaven of the
Pharisees, which is hypocrisy." Luke 12:1. And the apostle
Paul speaks of the "leaven of malice and wickedness.“1
Corinthians 5. Christ Object Lessons ch7
God is calling us to put

 In the epistle to the Hebrews is pointed
out the singlehearted purpose that should
characterize the Christian's race for
eternal life.... Envy, malice, evil thinking,
evilspeaking, covetousness—these are
weights that the Christian must lay aside
if he would run successfully the race for
immortality.

The Altar
Of
Incense
Exodus 30: 1-8
 CIS ch7: The golden altar, or altar of incense,
was before the veil in the first apartment of
the sanctuary. It was a cubit square and two
cubits high, with a horn upon each corner. The
altar was made of the shittim, or acacia wood,
and all overlaid with pure gold. Around the top
was a beautiful crown of gold, and beneath the
crown were rings, in which were staves for
carrying the altar, all overlaid with pure gold
 Within the crown of gold
encircling the top of the altar,
holy fire was kept constantly
burning, from which ascended
the fragrant smoke of the
incense placed upon it every
morning and evening. The
perfume pervaded the entire
sanctuary, and was carried by
the breeze far beyond the
KJV 1 Timothy 2:5 For
there is one God, and
one mediator between
God and men, the
man Christ Jesus;
 The altar and the fragrant incense in the
earthly sanctuary were an example of the
work our great CIS 60.2 High Priest is
performing for us. Our minds should often
dwell upon the work of Christ in the heavenly
sanctuary. Moses, when directed to build the
sanctuary, was “caused to see” the heavenly
model of which he was to make a “shadow.”
 KJV Hebrews 8:6
But now hath he obtained a more
excellent ministry, by how much also
he is the mediator of a better
covenant, which was established upon
better promises.
 John, the beloved disciple, was
permitted several times in vision to
behold the Saviour officiating in the
heavenly sanctuary. He saw a
heavenly being standing at the
glorious golden altar. He beheld the
incense offered upon that holy altar.
 KJV 2 Timothy 1:3 I thank God,
whom I serve from my forefathers
with pure conscience, that
without ceasing I have

separation in person from them, he assured
them, “Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in

Redeemer is honored, and every petition
presented in that name is granted in the

Our heavenly Father waits to bestow upon

poor helpless human beings, who are

so little faith? The angels love to bow
before God; they love to be near Him.

as their highest joy; and yet the
children of earth, who need so
much the help that God only can
give, seem satisfied to walk

that brought the priest so directly into the
presence of God as the offering of incense; so
there is no part of our religious service that
brings us so close to the Master as the pouring
out of our souls in earnest prayer. Anciently, as
in the antitype, the prayer of faith entered the
“holy dwelling-place” of God in heaven. CIS 62.1
 KJV Revelation 8:4 And the
smoke of the incense, which
came with the prayers of
the saints, ascended up
before God out of the
 Jesus Perfect
Prayer Life
That serves as an
example for
Us
A lamb was burned upon the brazen
altar in the court each morning and
evening at the time the incense was
renewed upon the altar. 14 The
golden altar was an “altar of
continual intercession,” representing
the prayers of God’s people coming
up before Him continually; while the
brazen altar was an “altar of
continual atonement,” representing
the putting away and destruction of
sin, the only thing that separates us
from God and prevents our prayers
from being answered.
The type was beautiful, but the antitype
far surpasses the type. In the heavenly
sanctuary there is an inexhaustible
supply of Christ’s righteousness. In the
type the incense was always ascending,
typifying that at any time, day or night,
when a struggling soul cries out for help,
or gives thanks and praise for help
 In the morning, as the duties of the day
seem more than human strength can
bear, the burdened soul can remember
that in the type a fresh supply of incense
was placed on the altar each morning,

1844?
THE GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT
The singular religious event of America in
1844 was the momentous events of October
22. This was the final end-time date (of
several) set by followers of William Miller, the
lay Baptist preacher whose prophecy-laden
sermons in Portland four years earlier had
stirred the heart of the young Ellen Harmon
with rousing sermons on the imminent second
Miller, using the Bible and his
knowledge of mathematics
and history, had initially
stated that Daniel's prophecy
of a “cleansing of the
sanctuary" – which Miller
believed was the Earth –
would be fulfilled in 1843
with the second Advent.
 The prophecy, after all, seemed plain:
"And he said unto me, Unto two thousand
and three hundred days; then shall the
sanctuary be cleansed." (Daniel 8:14, KJV)
Using the "year for a day" principle as
illustrated by examples found in Numbers
14:34 and Ezekiel 4:6, Miller arrived on
the 1843 date for Christ to return and
The 2300-day time prophecy
started with the decree by
the Persian King Artaxerxes,
to rebuild Jerusalem in the
fall of 457 B.C. and using
the day for a year principle
counted forwards 2300
years to the fall of 1843.
 When Christ didn’t return on the
predicted date, Miller suggested the
following year of 1844, admitting he
had mistakenly allowed a "year zero"
between the years B.C. (Before Christ)
and A.D. (Anno Domini, or, Year of the
Lord).
While Ellen joined her fellow Advent believers
in anticipating that day, her disappointment
did not—as for many of the other Millerites—
extinguish her belief in Christ’s soon return.
The same William Miller, who wrote this letter
full of hope and encouragement to his dear
friend Joshua V. Himes only three weeks after
The Great Disappointment.
“I have fixed my mind upon another time,
and here I mean to stand until God gives
me more light—and that is today, Today,
and TODAY, until He comes, and I see HIM
for whom my soul yearns.”—Life of
Miller, 303, 304.
 Ellen recalled it this way: "It was hard to
take up the vexing cares of life that we
thought had been laid down forever. It
was a bitter disappointment that fell upon
the little flock whose faith had been so
strong and whose hope had been so
high. ... We were disappointed but not
disheartened."—Life Sketches 1880, p.
 The key, it turned out, was not to view the
sanctuary cleansing as referring to what
happened on the Earth, but rather the
completion of Jesus' work in
the heavenly sanctuary. Instead of coming to
the earth at the termination of the 2300 days
in 1844, Christ then entered the most holy
place of the heavenly sanctuary to perform
the closing work of judgement preparatory to

 It was the utmost that God could
do to preserve the honor of His
law, and still save the
transgressor. Why should man not
study the theme of redemption? It
is the greatest subject that can
engage the human mind
The Ark
Exodus 25
10-22
 The ark was the central figure of the
entire sanctuary. The broken law
contained in the ark was the only
reason for all the sacrificial services,
both typical and antitypical. When the
Lord gave directions for making the
sanctuary, His first instruction was “
 They shall make an ark of shittim
(acacia) wood: two cubits and a half
shall be the length thereof, and a cubit
and a half the breadth thereof, and a
cubit and a half the height thereof.” It
was overlaid within and without with
pure gold, with a
 The cover of the ark was called the
mercy-seat, and was of pure gold. On
either end of the mercy-seat were
cherubim of beaten gold, with their
wings stretched forth covering the ark,
and their faces looking reverently
toward the law of God contained
The Mercy
Seat
 There is great consolation in the fact
that the Lord Himself covered the
broken law with a mercy-seat; and
then He, the merciful God, took His
position upon that seat, so that every
sinner who comes confessing his sins,
may receive mercy, and pardon.
 That mercy-seat, with the
cloud of glory, the visible
representation of God’s
presence, and its covering
cherubim, is a figure, or
“shadow,” of the throne of the
great God, who proclaims His
name as “merciful and
gracious, longsuffering, and
abundant in goodness and
The Presence of
God
 Said the Saviour: “This is life eternal, that they
might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus
Christ, whom Thou hast sent.” And God declared by
the prophet: “Let not the wise man glory in his
wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his
might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: but
let him that glorieth glory in this, that he
understandeth and knoweth Me, that I am the Lord
which exercise loving-kindness, judgment, and
righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I
 No man, without divine aid, can attain to this
knowledge of God. The apostle says that “the
world by wisdom knew not God.” Christ “was
in the world, and the world was made by Him,
and the world knew Him not.” Jesus declared
to His disciples: “No man knoweth the Son, but
the Father; neither knoweth any man the
Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever
the Son will reveal Him.” In that last prayer for
 Before entering the shadows of
Gethsemane, the Saviour lifted His eyes to
heaven, and in pity for the ignorance of
fallen men He said: “O righteous Father, the
world hath not known Thee: but I have
known Thee.” “I have manifested Thy name
unto the men which Thou gavest Me out of
the world.”5T 737.2
The Character of God
Revealed in Christ
 From the beginning it has been
Satan's studied plan to cause men
to forget God, that he might
secure them to himself. Hence he
has sought to misrepresent the
character of God, to lead men to
cherish a false conception of Him.
The Creator has been presented to
their minds as clothed with the
attributes of the prince of evil
himself,—as arbitrary, severe, and
unforgiving,—that He might be
feared, shunned, and even hated
by men
 KJV Ezekiel 33:11 Say unto them, As I
live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no
pleasure in the death of the wicked;
but that the wicked turn from his way
and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil
ways; for why will ye die, O house of
Israel?
 It was by falsifying the character of
God and exciting distrust of Him that
Satan tempted Eve to transgress. By
sin the minds of our first parents were
darkened, their natures were
degraded, and their conceptions of
God were molded by their own
Christ came to reveal God to the world
as a God of love, full of mercy,
tenderness, and compassion. The thick
darkness with which Satan had
endeavored to enshroud the throne of
Deity was swept away by the world's
Redeemer, and the Father was again
 Says the apostle: “God was in Christ,
reconciling the world unto Himself.” Only as
we contemplate the great plan of redemption
can we have a just appreciation of the
character of God. The work of creation was a
manifestation of His love; but the gift of God to
save the guilty and ruined race, alone reveals
the infinite depths of divine tenderness and
 All the paternal love which has come
down from generation to generation
through the channel of human hearts,
all the springs of tenderness which
have opened in the souls of men, are
but as a tiny rill to the boundless
ocean when compared with the
 Psalm 89:14
Justice and judgment are
the habitation of thy throne:
mercy and truth shall go
before thy face.
 Through Jesus, God's mercy was
manifested to men; but mercy does
not set aside justice. The law reveals
the attributes of God's character, and
not a jot or tittle of it could be changed
to meet man in his fallen condition.
 God did not change His law, but He
sacrificed Himself, in Christ, for man's
redemption. “God was in Christ,
reconciling the world unto himself” (
2 Corinthians 5:19)....
God’s Amazing Grace 74.1
 God's love has been expressed in His
justice no less than in His mercy.
Justice is the foundation of His throne,
and the fruit of His love. It had been
Satan's purpose to divorce mercy from
truth and justice. He sought to prove
that the righteousness of God's law is
 But Christ shows that in God's plan
they are indissolubly joined together;
the one cannot exist without the
other. “Mercy and truth are met
together; righteousness and peace
have kissed each other” (Psalm 85:10
).
The principles of kindness, mercy, and
love, taught and exemplified by our
Saviour, are a transcript of the will and
character of God…. God executes
justice upon the wicked, for the good
of the universe, and even for the good
of those upon whom His judgments are
visited….
 To sin, wherever found, “our God is a
consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:29. In all
who submit to His power the Spirit of
God will consume sin. But if men cling
to sin, they become identified with it.
Then the glory of God, which destroys
sin, must destroy them.48The Desire of Ages, 107.
 By His life and His death, Christ
proved that God's justice did not
destroy His mercy, but that sin
could be forgiven, and that the
law is righteous, and can be
perfectly obeyed. Satan's charges
were refuted. The Desire of Ages, 762
 Through the cross, man was drawn to
God, and God to man. Justice moved from
its high and awful position, and the
heavenly hosts, the armies of holiness,
drew near to the cross, bowing with
reverence; for at the cross justice was
satisfied.

The Law of God
Within the ark was the Lord’s own copy of
that holy law given to mankind in the
beginning. “Where no law is, there is no
transgression.” “Sin is not imputed when
there is no law;” therefore the Lord could
never have driven our first parents from
the garden of Eden on account of their
sin, if they had been ignorant of His holy
 After God had declared the ten
commandments from the top of Mount
Sinai, He wrote them upon two tables
of stone, and gave them to Moses,
with the instruction, “Thou shalt put
them in the ark.” The ark was placed
in the most holy apartment of the
 where no mortal eye, except that
of the high priest, could gaze upon
it, and he on only one day in the
year, when he went in to sprinkle
the blood of the Lord’s goat before
and upon the mercy-seat to atone
for the broken law within the ark.

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any
likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in
the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:
for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the
iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and
fourth generation of them that hate me;
And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me,
and keep my commandments
Our Creator demands our supreme devotion, our
first allegiance. Anything which tends to abate
our love for God, or to interfere with the service
due Him, becomes thereby an idol. With some
their lands, their houses, their merchandise, are
the idols. Business enterprises are prosecuted
with zeal and energy, while the service of God is
made a secondary consideration.
 Family worship is neglected, secret prayer
forgotten. Many claim to deal justly with their
fellow-men, and seem to feel that in so doing
they discharge their whole duty. But it is not
enough to keep the last six commandments of
the Decalogue. We are to love the Lord our God
with all the heart. Nothing short of obedience to
every precept … can satisfy the claims of the
divine law.
Anything that diverts the mind
from God assumes the form of
an idol, and that is why there
is so little power in the church
today. 52Manuscript 2, 1893.
The second commandment forbids
the worship of the true God by
images or similitudes.... The mind,
turned away from the infinite
perfection of Jehovah, would be
attracted to the creature rather
than to the Creator. 53
 3.
Thou shalt not take the name of
the Lord thy God in vain; for
the Lord will not hold him
guiltless that taketh his name in
vain.
 It is often broken by professed
Christians, and that too in their
prayers. We have heard people
pray, by whom almost every
sentence was introduced with the
name of the Lord. In fact, in some
instances about the only use of
that name in their prayers, after the
first personal address, seemed to be
simply as a catch-word, and was in
every sense of the word taking the
name of the Lord in vain. Its use, in
such cases, is purposeless so far as
any idea of reverence, or any just
conception of the holiness
 Such a practice is a violation of the third
commandment, and such prayers are sinful. The
practice is plainly forbidden by the Saviour in his
instructions on the subject of prayer: “When ye
pray, use not vain repetitions.” Matthew 6:7.
And to use the name of the Lord at the
beginning of every sentence, or of every
alternate sentence, is nothing else than “vain
repetition,” and is sin.
 We do not say that every repetition of the
name is vain, nor that to repeat the name
more than once in a prayer of considerable
length and fervency would be sinful, because
such a thing might be done with becoming
reverence. In Jacob’s prayer when he was
“greatly afraid and distressed” because of his
fear of Esau, the name of God is not used at all
after the address to him at the beginning.
 It is so also in the prayer of Abraham’s
servant. Genesis 24:12-14. In Solomon’s long
prayer at the dedication of the temple the
name of the Lord is only used ten times.
2 Chronicles 6:14-42. In the prayer of Moses
which occupies the whole of the ninetieth
psalm—seventeen verses—the name is used
but four times. In David’s deeply penitential
prayer—the fifty-first psalm—he uses the holy

servant. Genesis 24:12-14. In Solomon’s long

 In Ezra’s most sorrowful prayer the
name is used but nine times.
Ezra 9:6-15. In the longest prayer in
the Bible the sacred name is used only
seven times. Nehemiah 9:6-38. In
Daniel’s prayer of thanks for the secret
of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, he used
 The prayer in which that name is used the
most of any in the Bible is Daniel’s of the
ninth chapter, when he was earnestly
pleading for an understanding of the word
of the Lord—a prayer that ended in a holy
vision with the angel Gabriel talking to him.
There the name is used seventeen times.
Now we believe it a perfectly safe rule to follow,
that unless our prayers shall exceed these both
in length and fervency, the name of the Lord
should not be used more than it is in these. In
fact, the model which the Saviour gave does not
use the holy name at all except in the form of
address, “Our Father, which art in Heaven,” and
then says, “hallowed be thy name.”
Matthew 6:9-13.

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in
it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy
daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy
cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea,
and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day:
wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed
it.
 The fourth commandment is explicit.
We are not to do our own work upon
the Sabbath. God has given man six
days for labor, but He has reserved the
seventh to Himself, and He has
pronounced a blessing upon those who
keep it holy.
 On the sixth day all needful preparation for the
Sabbath is to be made.... All purchases should be
made and all our cooking should be done on Friday.
If you go forward toward heaven, the world will rub
hard against you.... Earthly authorities will
interpose. You will meet tribulations, bruising of the
spirit, hard speeches, ridicule, persecutions. Men
will require your conformity to laws and customs
that would render you disloyal to God.

The obligation resting upon children to
honor their parents is of lifelong
duration. If the parents are feeble and
old, the affection and attention of the
children should be bestowed in
proportion to the need of father and

 the children should shape their
course of action even if it requires
self-denial, so that every thought
of anxiety and perplexity may be
removed from the minds of the
parents....
 Let children carefully remember that

greater sorrow to their hearts than
manifest neglect on the part of their

Thou shalt not kill.
All acts of injustice that tend to shorten
life; the spirit of hatred and revenge, or
the indulgence of any passion that
leads to injurious acts toward others, or
causes us even to wish them harm (for
“whosoever hateth his brother is a
murderer”);
 a selfish neglect of caring for the
needy or suffering; all self-indulgence
or unnecessary deprivation or
excessive labor that tends to injure
health—all these are, to a greater or
less degree, violations of the sixth
commandment. PP 308.5
 7.
Thou shalt not commit
adultery
 This commandment forbids not only acts of
impurity, but sensual thoughts and desires, or
any practice that tends to excite them. Purity is
demanded not only in the outward life but in the
secret intents and emotions of the heart. Christ,
who taught the far-reaching obligation of the law
of God, declared the evil thought or look to be
as truly sin as is the unlawful deed. PP 306.7
 8.
Thou shalt not steal.”
 Both public and private sins are
included in this prohibition. The eighth
commandment condemns manstealing
and slave dealing, and forbids wars of
conquest. It condemns theft and
robbery. It demands strict integrity in
the minutest
 details of the affairs of life. It forbids
overreaching in trade, and requires the
payment of just debts or wages. It
declares that every attempt to advantage
oneself by the ignorance, weakness, or
misfortune of another is registered as
fraud in the books of heaven. PP 309.1
 9.
Thou shalt not bear false
witness against thy
neighbor.”
False speaking in any matter, every attempt or
purpose to deceive our neighbor, is here
included. An intention to deceive is what
constitutes falsehood. By a glance of the eye,
a motion of the hand, an expression of the
countenance, a falsehood may be told as
effectually as by words. All intentional
overstatement, every hint or insinuation
calculated to convey an erroneous or
 even the statement of facts in such a
manner as to mislead, is falsehood. This
precept forbids every effort to injure our
neighbor's reputation by
misrepresentation or evil surmising, by
slander or tale bearing. Even the
intentional suppression of truth, by which
injury may result to others, is a violation
 10.
Thou shalt not covet thy
neighbor's house, thou shalt not
covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his
manservant, nor his maidservant,
nor his ox, nor his ass, nor
anything that is thy neighbor's.”
The tenth commandment strikes at the very
root of all sins, prohibiting the selfish desire,
from which springs the sinful act. He who in
obedience to God's law refrains from
indulging even a sinful desire for that which
belongs to another will not be guilty of an
act of wrong toward his fellow creatures. PP

 God mercifully condescended to give the host
of Israel another evidence, one calculated to
correct their perverted judgment. He therefore
required that each tribe should take a rod, and
write upon the rod the name of the house of
their fathers. “And thou shalt write Aaron's
name upon the rod of Levi; for one rod shall be
for the head of the house of their fathers
 And thou shalt lay them up in the
tabernacle of the congregation before the
testimony, where I will meet with you. And

sufficient to silence the complaints of the
Israelites, and which was to be a standing
testimony that God had settled the priesthood
upon Aaron. All the remarkable changes in the
rod occurred in one night, to convince them
that God had positively distinguished between
Aaron and the rest of the children of Israel.

be frequently shown to the people, to
remind them of the past, to prevent
them from murmuring, and again
calling in question to whom the

Fleshpot Manna
 When the God of Israel brought His
people out of Egypt, He withheld flesh
meats from them in a great measure,
but gave them bread from heaven and
water from the flinty rock. With this
they were not satisfied. They loathed
the food given them and wished
 where they could sit by the fleshpots.
They preferred to endure slavery, and
even death, rather than to be deprived
of flesh. God granted their desire,
giving them flesh, and leaving them to
eat till their gluttony produced a
plague, from which many of them
Example after example might be cited to show
the effects of yielding to appetite. It seemed a
small matter to our first parents to transgress
the command of God in that one act,—the
eating from a tree that was so beautiful to the
sight and so pleasant to the taste,—but it
broke their allegiance to God and opened the
gates to a flood of guilt and woe that has
deluged the world.
In choosing man's food in Eden, the Lord
showed what was the best diet; in the
choice made for Israel He taught the same
lesson. He brought the Israelites out of
Egypt and undertook their training, that
they might be a people for His own
possession
Through them He desired to bless and
teach the world. He provided them
with the food best adapted for this
purpose, not flesh, but manna, "the

 The chief service of the day was
the offering of the goats. Two goats
were brought to the door of the
sanctuary, where lots were cast
upon them, one for the Lord, the
other for the scapegoat, or Azazel.
 The high priest killed the Lord’s goat,
and then, clad in his gorgeous robes,
with the breastplate of judgment
bearing the names of the twelve tribes
of Israel over his heart, and the sacred
onyx stones with the names of the
tribes on his shoulders, he passed with

fragrant incense might cover him as
 as manifested between the cherubim
above the mercy-seat. With his fingers
he sprinkled the blood upon the
mercy-seat above the broken law of
God. Then going out into the first
apartment, he touched the horns of
the golden altar with the blood. (Cross

 As the priest, in removing the sins
from the sanctuary, confessed them
upon the head of the scapegoat, so
Christ will place all these sins upon
Satan, the originator and instigator of
sin. The scapegoat, bearing the sins of
Israel, was sent away “unto a land not

piety. He makes no mistakes in His
