Unwise Leaders Do Not Speak for God
The
voice from Battle Creek, which has been regarded as authority in
counseling how the work should be done, is no longer the voice of God.—Manuscript Releases 17:185 (1896).
It has been some years since I have considered the General Conference as the voice of God.—Manuscript Releases 17:216 (1898).
That
these men should stand in a sacred place, to be as the voice of God to
the people, as we once believed the General Conference to be—that is
past.—The General Conference Bulletin, April 3, 1901, p. 25.
A New Denomination Not Needed
You will take passages in the Testimonies
that speak of the close of probation, of the shaking among God's
people, and you will talk of a coming out from this people of a purer,
holier people that will arise. Now all this pleases the enemy.... Should
many accept the views you advance, and talk and act upon them, we would
see one of the greatest fanatical excitements that has ever been
witnessed among Seventh-day Adventists. This is what Satan wants.—Selected Messages 1:179 (1890).
The
Lord has not given you a message to call the Seventh-day Adventists
Babylon, and to call the people of God to come out of her. All the
reasons you may present cannot have weight with me on this subject,
because the Lord has given me decided light that is opposed to such a
message....
I
know that the Lord loves His church. It is not to be disorganized or
broken up into independent atoms. There is not the least consistency in
this; there is not the least evidence that such a thing will be.—Selected Messages 2:63, 68, 69 (1893).
I
tell you, my brethren, the Lord has an organized body through whom He
will work.... When anyone is drawing apart from the organized body of
God's commandment-keeping people, when he begins to weigh the church in
his human scales and begins to pronounce judgment against them, then
you may know that God is not leading him. He is on the wrong track.—Selected Messages 3:17, 18 (1893).
God Will Set Everything in Order
There
is no need to doubt, to be fearful that the work will not succeed. God
is at the head of the work, and He will set everything in order. If
matters need adjusting at the head of the work God will attend to that,
and work to right every wrong. Let us have faith that God is going to
carry the noble ship which bears the people of God safely into port.—Selected Messages 2:390 (1892).
Has
God no living church? He has a church, but it is the church militant,
not the church triumphant. We are sorry that there are defective
members, that there are tares amid the wheat.... Although there are
evils existing in the church, and will be until the end of the world,
the church in these last days is to be the light of the world that is
polluted and demoralized by sin. The church, enfeebled and defective,
needing to be reproved, warned, and counseled, is the only object upon
earth upon which Christ bestows His supreme regard.—Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers, 45, 49 (1893).
The
bulwarks of Satan will never triumph. Victory will attend the third
angel's message. As the Captain of the Lord's host tore down the walls
of Jericho, so will the Lord's commandment-keeping people triumph, and
all opposing elements be defeated.—Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers, 410 (1898).
Distribution of Responsibility Urged
What we want now is a reorganization. We want to begin at the foundation, and to build upon a different principle....
Here
are men who are standing at the head of our various institutions, of
the educational interests, and of the conferences in different
localities and in different States. All these are to stand as
representative men, to have a voice in molding and fashioning the plans
that shall be carried out. There are to be more than one or two or three
men to consider the whole vast field. The work is great, and there is
no one human mind that can plan for the work which needs to be done....
Now
I want to say, God has not put any kingly power in our ranks to control
this or that branch of the work. The work has been greatly restricted
by the efforts to control it in every line.... There must be a
renovation, a reorganization; a power and strength must be brought into
the committees that are necessary.” [From Ellen White's opening address on April 2, 1901, to the General Conference Session in Battle Creek.]—The General Conference Bulletin, April 3, 1901, pp. 25, 26.
New
Conferences must be formed. It was in the order of God that the Union
conference was organized in Australasia.... It is not necessary to send
thousands of miles to Battle Creek for advice, and then have to wait
weeks for an answer. Those who are right on the ground are to decide
what shall be done.—The General Conference Bulletin, April 5, 1901, pp. 69, 70.
The 1901 General Conference Session Responds
Who
do you suppose has been among us since this Conference began? Who has
kept away the objectionable features that generally appear in such a
meeting? Who has walked up and down the aisles of this Tabernacle? The
God of heaven and His angels. And they did not come here to tear you in
pieces, but to give you right and peaceable minds. They have been among
us to work the works of God, to keep back the powers of darkness, that
the work God designed should be done should not be hindered. The angels
of God have been working among us....
I
was never more astonished in my life than at the turn things have taken
at this meeting. This is not our work. God has brought it about.
Instruction regarding this was presented to me, but until the sum was
worked out at this meeting I could not comprehend this instruction.
God's angels have been walking up and down in this congregation. I want
every one of you to remember this, and I want you to remember also that
God has said that He will heal the wounds of His people.—The General Conference Bulletin, April 25, 1901, pp. 463, 464.
During
the General Conference the Lord wrought mightily for His people. Every
time I think of that meeting, a sweet solemnity comes over me, and sends
a glow of gratitude to my soul. We have seen the stately steppings of
the Lord our Redeemer. We praise His holy name, for He has brought
deliverance to His people.—The Review and Herald, November 26, 1901.
It
has been a necessity to organize union conferences, that the General
Conference shall not exercise dictation over all the separate
conferences. The power vested in the Conference is not to be centered in
one man, or two men, or six men; there is to be a council of men over
the separate divisions.—Manuscript 26, 1903 (April 3). [For further information regarding organizational changes made at the 1901 General Conference Session see the Seventh-day Adventist Encyclopedia (Vol. 10 of the Commentary Reference Series), Revised Edition, pp. 1050-1053.]
Confidence in SDA Organization Reaffirmed
We
cannot now step off the foundation that God has established. We cannot
now enter into any new organization, for this would mean apostasy from
the truth.—Selected Messages 2:390 (1905).
I
am instructed to say to Seventh-day Adventists the world over, God has
called us as a people to be a peculiar treasure unto Himself. He has
appointed that His church on earth shall stand perfectly united in the
Spirit and counsel of the Lord of hosts to the end of time.—Selected Messages 2:397 (1908).
At
times, when a small group of men entrusted with the general management
of the work have, in the name of the General Conference, sought to carry
out unwise plans to restrict God's work, I have said that I could no
longer regard the voice of the General Conference, represented by these
few men, as the voice of God. But this is not saying that the decisions
of a General Conference composed of an assembly of duly appointed,
representative men from all parts of the field should not be respected.
God
has ordained that the representatives of His church from all parts of
the earth, when assembled in a General Conference, shall have authority.
The error that some are in danger of committing is in giving to the
mind and judgment of one man, or of a small group of men, the full
measure of authority and influence that God has invested in His church
in the judgment and voice of the General Conference assembled to plan
for the prosperity and advancement of His work.—Testimonies for the Church 9:260, 261 (1909).
God
has invested His church with special authority and power which no one
can be justified in disregarding and despising, for he who does this
despises the voice of God.—The Acts of the Apostles, 164 (1911).
I
am encouraged and blessed as I realize that the God of Israel is still
guiding His people and that He will continue to be with them, even to
the end.—Selected Messages 2:406 (1913). [From
Ellen White's final message to the Seventh-day Adventist Church in
General Conference Session. These reassuring words were read to the
session by the General Conference president, A. G. Daniells, on May 27,
1913.]
A Statement by W. C. White
I told her [Mrs. Lida Scott] how Mother regarded the experience of the remnant church, and of her positive
teaching that God would not permit this denomination to so fully
apostatize that there would be the coming out of another church.—W. C.
White to E. E. Andross, May 23, 1915, White Estate Correspondence File.
Spiritual Revival Still Needed
One
day at noon I was writing of the work that might have been done at the
last [1901] General Conference if the men in positions of trust had
followed the will and way of God. Those who have had great light have
not walked in the light. The meeting was closed, and the break was not
made. Men did not humble themselves before the Lord as they should have
done, and the Holy Spirit was not imparted.
I had written thus far when I lost consciousness, and I seemed to be witnessing a scene in Battle Creek.
We
were assembled in the auditorium of the Tabernacle. Prayer was offered,
a hymn was sung, and prayer was again offered. Most earnest
supplication was made to God. The meeting was marked by the presence of
the Holy Spirit....
No
one seemed to be too proud to make heartfelt confession, and those who
led in this work were the ones who had influence, but had not before had
courage to confess their sins.
There was rejoicing such as never before had been heard in the Tabernacle.
Then
I aroused from my unconsciousness, and for a while could not think
where I was. My pen was still in my hand. The words were spoken to me: “This might have been.
All this the Lord was waiting to do for His people. All heaven was
waiting to be gracious.” I thought of where we might have been had
thorough work been done at the last General Conference.—Testimonies for the Church 8:104-106 (January 5, 1903).
I
have been deeply impressed by scenes that have recently passed before
me in the night season. There seemed to be a great movement—a work of
revival—going forward in many places. Our people were moving into line,
responding to God's call.—Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers, 515 (1913). [From Ellen White's first message to the General Conference Session of 1913.]
The Patience of God With His People
The
church has failed, sadly failed, to meet the expectations of her
Redeemer, and yet the Lord does not withdraw Himself from His people. He
bears with them still, not because of any goodness found in them, but
that His name may not be dishonored before the enemies of truth and
righteousness, that the satanic agencies may not triumph in the
destruction of God's people. He has borne long with their waywardness,
unbelief and folly. With wonderful forbearance and compassion He has
disciplined them. If they will heed His instruction He will cleanse away
their perverse tendencies, saving them with an everlasting salvation
and making them eternal monuments of the power of His grace.—The Signs of the Times, November 13, 1901.
We should remember that the church, enfeebled and defective though it be, is the only object on earth
on which Christ bestows His supreme regard. He is constantly watching
it with solicitude, and is strengthening it by His Holy Spirit.—Selected Messages 2:396 (1902).
God Works With Those Who Are Faithful to Him
The
Lord Jesus will always have a chosen people to serve Him. When the
Jewish people rejected Christ, the Prince of life, He took from them the
kingdom of God and gave it unto the Gentiles. God will continue to work
on this principle with every branch of His work.
When
a church proves unfaithful to the word of the Lord, whatever their
position may be, however high and sacred their calling, the Lord can no
longer work with them. Others are then chosen to bear important
responsibilities. But, if these in turn do not purify their lives from
every wrong action, if they do not establish pure and holy principles in
all their borders, then the Lord will grievously afflict and humble
them and, unless they repent, will remove them from their place and make
them a reproach.—Manuscript Releases 14:102 (1903).
Judged by the Light Bestowed
In
the balances of the sanctuary the Seventh-day Adventist church is to be
weighed. She will be judged by the privileges and advantages that she
has had. If her spiritual experience does not correspond to the
advantages that Christ, at infinite cost, has bestowed on her, if the
blessings conferred have not qualified her to do the work entrusted to
her, on her will be pronounced the sentence: “Found wanting.” By the
light bestowed, the opportunities given, will she be judged....
Solemn admonitions of warning, manifest in the destruction of dearly cherished facilities [The
Battle Creek Sanitarium, the largest and best-known Adventist
institution in the world, burned to the ground February 18, 1902. this
was followed by the destruction of the Review and Herald Publishing
Association, also by fire, on December 30, 1902.] for service, say to us: “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works” (Revelation 2:5)....
Unless
the church, which is now being leavened with her own backsliding, shall
repent and be converted, she will eat of the fruit of her own doing,
until she shall abhor herself. When she resists the evil and chooses the
good, when she seeks God with all humility and reaches her high calling
in Christ, standing on the platform of eternal truth and by faith
laying hold upon the attainments prepared for her, she will be healed.
She will appear in her God-given simplicity and purity, separate from
earthly entanglements, showing that the truth has made her free indeed.
Then her members will indeed be the chosen of God, His representatives.—Testimonies for the Church 8:247-251 (April 21, 1903).
Israel's History a Warning to Us
In
these last days God's people will be exposed to the very same dangers
as were ancient Israel. Those who will not receive the warnings that God
gives will fall into the same perils as did ancient Israel and come
short of entering into rest through unbelief. Ancient Israel suffered
calamities on account of their
unsanctified hearts and unsubmitted wills. Their final rejection as a
nation was a result of their own unbelief, self-confidence, impenitence,
blindness of mind, and hardness of heart. In their history we have a
danger signal lifted before us.
“Take
heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief,
in departing from the living God.... For we are made partakers of
Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the
end” (Hebrews 3:12, 14).—Letter 30, 1895.
The Church Militant Is Imperfect
The
church militant is not the church triumphant, and earth is not heaven.
The church is composed of erring, imperfect men and women, who are but
learners in the school of Christ, to be trained, disciplined, educated,
for this life and for the future, immortal life.—The Signs of the Times, January 4, 1883.
Some
people seem to think that upon entering the church they will have their
expectations fulfilled, and meet only with those who are pure and
perfect. They are zealous in their faith, and when they see faults in
church members, they say, “We left the world in order to have no
association with evil characters, but the evil is here also;” and they
ask, as did the servants in the parable, “From whence then hath it
tares?” But we need not be thus disappointed, for the Lord has not
warranted us in coming to the conclusion that the church is perfect; and
all our zeal will not be successful in making the church militant as pure as the church triumphant.—Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers, 47 (1893).
The Church Triumphant Will Be Faithful and Christlike
The work is soon to close. The members of the church militant who have proved faithful will become the church triumphant.—Evangelism, 707 (1892).
The
life of Christ was a life charged with a divine message of the love of
God, and He longed intensely to impart this love to others in rich
measure. Compassion beamed from His countenance, and His conduct was
characterized by grace, humility, truth, and love. Every member of His
church militant must manifest the same qualities, if he would join the
church triumphant.—Fundamentals of Christian Education, 179 (1891). AUSC Shares This Link: |

2Kings 21
1
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty
and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Hephzibah.
2
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the
abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the children
of Israel.
3
For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had
destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did
Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served
them.
4 And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.
5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.
6
And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used
enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought
much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
7
And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house,
of which the LORD said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house,
and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I
put my name for ever:
8
Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land
which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to do according to
all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my
servant Moses commanded them.
9
But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than
did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 And the LORD spake by his servants the prophets, saying,
11
Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath
done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, which were before him,
and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols:
12
Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such
evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his
ears shall tingle.
13
And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet
of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish,
wiping it, and turning it upside down.
14
And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them
into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil
to all their enemies;
15
Because they have done that which was evil in my sight, and have
provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of
Egypt, even unto this day.
16
Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled
Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made
Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
17
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin
that he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of
the kings of Judah?
18
And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of
his own house, in the garden of Uzza: and Amon his son reigned in his
stead.
19
Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he
reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Meshullemeth,
the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
20 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh did.
21 And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them:
22 And he forsook the LORD God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the LORD.
23 And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house.
24
And the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against
king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his
stead.
25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
26 And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.
}
2Kings 25
1
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month,
in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it;
and they built forts against it round about.
2 And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
3 And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
4
And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the
way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king’s garden: (now
the Chaldees were against the city round about:) and the king went the
way toward the plain.
5
And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him
in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him.
6 So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
7
And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the
eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him
to Babylon.
8
And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the
nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came
Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon,
unto Jerusalem:
9
And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king’s house, and all the
houses of Jerusalem, and every great man’s house burnt he with fire.
10 And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
11
Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the
fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the
multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away.
12 But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
13
And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the
bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the LORD, did the
Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
14
And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and
all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
15
And the firepans, and the bowls, and such things as were of gold, in
gold, and of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.
16
The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the
house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
17
The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon
it was brass: and the height of the chapiter three cubits; and the
wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of
brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with wreathen work.
18 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
19
And out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of
war, and five men of them that were in the king’s presence, which were
found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, which mustered
the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of the land
that were found in the city:
20 And Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah:
21 And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land.
22
And as for the people that remained in the land of Judah, whom
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah
the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler.
23
And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that
the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah
to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of
Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah
the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
24
And Gedaliah sware to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Fear
not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell in the land, and serve the
king of Babylon; and it shall be well with you.
25
But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of
Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men
with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the
Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah.
26
And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the
armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldees.
27
And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of
Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and
twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the
year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of
Judah out of prison;
28 And he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon;
29 And changed his prison garments: and he did eat bread continually before him all the days of his life.
30 And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.

Chapter 1—The Destruction of Jerusalem /The Great Controversy-Audio]
“If
thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which
belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. For the
days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about
thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, and shall
lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they
shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not
the time of thy visitation.” Luke 19:42-44.
From
the crest of Olivet, Jesus looked upon Jerusalem. Fair and peaceful was
the scene spread out before Him. It was the season of the Passover, and
from all lands the children of Jacob had gathered there to celebrate
the great national festival. In the midst of gardens and vineyards, and
green slopes studded with pilgrims’ tents, rose the terraced hills, the
stately palaces, and massive bulwarks of Israel's capital. The daughter
of Zion seemed in her pride to say, I sit a queen and shall see no
sorrow; as lovely then, and deeming herself as secure in Heaven's favor,
as when, ages before, the royal minstrel sang: “Beautiful for
situation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, ... the city of
the great King.” Psalm 48:2.
In full view were the magnificent buildings of the temple. The rays of
the setting sun lighted up the snowy whiteness of its marble walls and
gleamed from golden gate and tower and pinnacle. “The perfection of
beauty” it stood, the pride of the Jewish nation. What child of Israel
could gaze upon the scene without a thrill of joy and admiration! But
far other thoughts occupied the mind of Jesus. “When He was come near,
He beheld the city, and wept over it.” Luke 19:41.
Amid the universal rejoicing of the triumphal entry, while palm
branches waved, while glad hosannas awoke the echoes of the hills, and
thousands of voices declared Him king, the world's Redeemer was
overwhelmed with a sudden and mysterious sorrow. He, the Son of God, the
Promised One of Israel, whose power had conquered death and called its
captives from the grave, was in tears, not of ordinary grief, but of
intense, irrepressible agony.
His
tears were not for Himself, though He well knew whither His feet were
tending. Before Him lay Gethsemane, the scene of His approaching agony.
The sheepgate also was in sight, through which for centuries the victims
for sacrifice had been led, and which was to open for Him when He
should be “brought as a lamb to the slaughter.” Isaiah 53:7.
Not far distant was Calvary, the place of crucifixion. Upon the path
which Christ was soon to tread must fall the horror of great darkness as
He should make His soul an offering for sin. Yet it was not the
contemplation of these scenes that cast the shadow upon Him in this hour
of gladness. No foreboding of His own superhuman anguish clouded that
unselfish spirit. He wept for the doomed thousands of Jerusalem—because
of the blindness and impenitence of those whom He came to bless and to
save.
The
history of more than a thousand years of God's special favor and
guardian care, manifested to the chosen people, was open to the eye of
Jesus. There was Mount Moriah, where the son of promise, an unresisting
victim, had been bound to the altar—emblem of the offering of the Son of
God. There the covenant of blessing, the glorious Messianic promise,
had been confirmed to the father of the faithful. Genesis 22:9, 16-18.
There the flames of the sacrifice ascending to heaven from the
threshing floor of Ornan had turned aside the sword of the destroying
angel (1 Chronicles 21)—fitting
symbol of the Saviour's sacrifice and mediation for guilty men.
Jerusalem had been honored of God above all the earth. The Lord had
“chosen Zion,” He had “desired it for His habitation.” Psalm 132:13.
There, for ages, holy prophets had uttered their messages of warning.
There priests had waved their censers, and the cloud of incense, with
the prayers of the worshipers, had ascended before God. There daily the
blood of slain lambs had been offered, pointing forward to the Lamb of
God. There Jehovah had revealed His presence in the cloud of glory above
the mercy seat. There rested the base of that mystic ladder connecting
earth with heaven (Genesis 28:12; John 1:51)—that
ladder upon which angels of God descended and ascended, and which
opened to the world the way into the holiest of all. Had Israel as a
nation preserved her allegiance to Heaven, Jerusalem would have stood
forever, the elect of God. Jeremiah 17:21-25.
But the history of that favored people was a record of backsliding and
rebellion. They had resisted Heaven's grace, abused their privileges,
and slighted their opportunities.
Although Israel had “mocked the messengers of God, and despised His words, and misused His prophets” (2 Chronicles 36:16),
He had still manifested Himself to them, as “the Lord God, merciful and
gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth” (Exodus 34:6);
notwithstanding repeated rejections, His mercy had continued its
pleadings. With more than a father's pitying love for the son of his
care, God had “sent to them by His messengers, rising up betimes, and
sending; because He had compassion on His people, and on His dwelling
place.” 2 Chronicles 36:15.
When remonstrance, entreaty, and rebuke had failed, He sent to them the
best gift of heaven; nay, He poured out all heaven in that one Gift.
The
Son of God Himself was sent to plead with the impenitent city. It was
Christ that had brought Israel as a goodly vine out of Egypt. Psalm 80:8. His own hand had cast
out the heathen before it. He had planted it “in a very fruitful hill.”
His guardian care had hedged it about. His servants had been sent to
nurture it. “What could have been done more to My vineyard,” He
exclaims, “that I have not done in it?” Isaiah 5:1-4.
Though when He looked that it should bring forth grapes, it brought
forth wild grapes, yet with a still yearning hope of fruitfulness He
came in person to His vineyard, if haply it might be saved from
destruction. He digged about His vine; He pruned and cherished it. He
was unwearied in His efforts to save this vine of His own planting.
For
three years the Lord of light and glory had gone in and out among His
people. He “went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed
of the devil,” binding up the brokenhearted, setting at liberty them
that were bound, restoring sight to the blind, causing the lame to walk
and the deaf to hear, cleansing the lepers, raising the dead, and
preaching the gospel to the poor. Acts 10:38; Luke 4:18; Matthew 11:5.
To all classes alike was addressed the gracious call: “Come unto Me,
all ye that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28.
Though rewarded with evil for good, and hatred for His love (Psalm 109:5),
He had steadfastly pursued His mission of mercy. Never were those
repelled that sought His grace. A homeless wanderer, reproach and penury
His daily lot, He lived to minister to the needs and lighten the woes
of men, to plead with them to accept the gift of life. The waves of
mercy, beaten back by those stubborn hearts, returned in a stronger tide
of pitying, inexpressible love. But Israel had turned from her best
Friend and only Helper. The pleadings of His love had been despised, His
counsels spurned, His warnings ridiculed.
The
hour of hope and pardon was fast passing; the cup of God's
long-deferred wrath was almost full. The cloud that had been gathering
through ages of apostasy and rebellion, now black with woe, was about to
burst upon a guilty people;
and He who alone could save them from their impending fate had been
slighted, abused, rejected, and was soon to be crucified. When Christ
should hang upon the cross of Calvary, Israel's day as a nation favored
and blessed of God would be ended. The loss of even one soul is a
calamity infinitely outweighing the gains and treasures of a world; but
as Christ looked upon Jerusalem, the doom of a whole city, a whole
nation, was before Him—that city, that nation, which had once been the
chosen of God, His peculiar treasure.
Prophets
had wept over the apostasy of Israel and the terrible desolations by
which their sins were visited. Jeremiah wished that his eyes were a
fountain of tears, that he might weep day and night for the slain of the
daughter of his people, for the Lord's flock that was carried away
captive. Jeremiah 9:1; 13:17.
What, then, was the grief of Him whose prophetic glance took in, not
years, but ages! He beheld the destroying angel with sword uplifted
against the city which had so long been Jehovah's dwelling place. From
the ridge of Olivet, the very spot afterward occupied by Titus and his
army, He looked across the valley upon the sacred courts and porticoes,
and with tear-dimmed eyes He saw, in awful perspective, the walls
surrounded by alien hosts. He heard the tread of armies marshaling for
war. He heard the voice of mothers and children crying for bread in the
besieged city. He saw her holy and beautiful house, her palaces and
towers, given to the flames, and where once they stood, only a heap of
smoldering ruins.
Looking
down the ages, He saw the covenant people scattered in every land,
“like wrecks on a desert shore.” In the temporal retribution about to
fall upon her children, He saw but the first draft from that cup of
wrath which at the final judgment she must drain to its dregs. Divine
pity, yearning love, found utterance in the mournful words: “O
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them
which are sent unto thee, how often would I
have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her
chickens under her wings, and ye would not!” O that thou, a nation
favored above every other, hadst known the time of thy visitation, and
the things that belong unto thy peace! I have stayed the angel of
justice, I have called thee to repentance, but in vain. It is not merely
servants, delegates, and prophets, whom thou hast refused and rejected,
but the Holy One of Israel, thy Redeemer. If thou art destroyed, thou
alone art responsible. “Ye will not come to Me, that ye might have
life.” Matthew 23:37; John 5:40.
Christ
saw in Jerusalem a symbol of the world hardened in unbelief and
rebellion, and hastening on to meet the retributive judgments of God.
The woes of a fallen race, pressing upon His soul, forced from His lips
that exceeding bitter cry. He saw the record of sin traced in human
misery, tears, and blood; His heart was moved with infinite pity for the
afflicted and suffering ones of earth; He yearned to relieve them all.
But even His hand might not turn back the tide of human woe; few would
seek their only Source of help. He was willing to pour out His soul unto
death, to bring salvation within their reach; but few would come to Him
that they might have life.
The
Majesty of heaven in tears! the Son of the infinite God troubled in
spirit, bowed down with anguish! The scene filled all heaven with
wonder. That scene reveals to us the exceeding sinfulness of sin; it
shows how hard a task it is, even for Infinite Power, to save the guilty
from the consequences of transgressing the law of God. Jesus, looking
down to the last generation, saw the world involved in a deception
similar to that which caused the destruction of Jerusalem. The great sin
of the Jews was their rejection of Christ; the great sin of the
Christian world would be their rejection of the law of God, the
foundation of His government in heaven and earth. The precepts of
Jehovah would be despised and set at nought. Millions in bondage to sin,
slaves of Satan, doomed to suffer the second death, would refuse to
listen to the words of truth in their day of visitation. Terrible
blindness! strange infatuation!
Two
days before the Passover, when Christ had for the last time departed
from the temple, after denouncing the hypocrisy of the Jewish rulers, He
again went out with His disciples to the Mount of Olives and seated
Himself with them upon the grassy slope overlooking the city. Once more
He gazed upon its walls, its towers, and its palaces. Once more He
beheld the temple in its dazzling splendor, a diadem of beauty crowning
the sacred mount.
A
thousand years before, the psalmist had magnified God's favor to Israel
in making her holy house His dwelling place: “In Salem also is His
tabernacle, and His dwelling place in Zion.” He “chose the tribe of
Judah, the Mount Zion which He loved. And He built His sanctuary like
high palaces.” Psalm 76:2; 78:68, 69.
The first temple had been erected during the most prosperous period of
Israel's history. Vast stores of treasure for this purpose had been
collected by King David, and the plans for its construction were made by
divine inspiration. 1 Chronicles 28:12, 19.
Solomon, the wisest of Israel's monarchs, had completed the work. This
temple was the most magnificent building which the world ever saw. Yet
the Lord had declared by the prophet Haggai, concerning the second
temple: “The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the
former.” “I will shake all nations, and the Desire of all nations shall
come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts.” Haggai 2:9, 7.
After
the destruction of the temple by Nebuchadnezzar it was rebuilt about
five hundred years before the birth of Christ by a people who from a
lifelong captivity had returned to a wasted and almost deserted country.
There were then among them aged men who had seen the glory of Solomon's
temple, and who wept at the foundation of the new building, that it
must be so inferior to the former. The feeling that prevailed is
forcibly described by the prophet: “Who is
left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye
see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?” Haggai 2:3; Ezra 3:12. Then was given the promise that the glory of this latter house should be greater than that of the former.
But
the second temple had not equaled the first in magnificence; nor was it
hallowed by those visible tokens of the divine presence which pertained
to the first temple. There was no manifestation of supernatural power
to mark its dedication. No cloud of glory was seen to fill the newly
erected sanctuary. No fire from heaven descended to consume the
sacrifice upon its altar. The Shekinah no longer abode between the
cherubim in the most holy place; the ark, the mercy seat, and the tables
of the testimony were not to be found therein. No voice sounded from
heaven to make known to the inquiring priest the will of Jehovah.
For
centuries the Jews had vainly endeavored to show wherein the promise of
God given by Haggai had been fulfilled; yet pride and unbelief blinded
their minds to the true meaning of the prophet's words. The second
temple was not honored with the cloud of Jehovah's glory, but with the
living presence of One in whom dwelt the fullness of the Godhead
bodily—who was God Himself manifest in the flesh. The “Desire of all
nations” had indeed come to His temple when the Man of Nazareth taught
and healed in the sacred courts. In the presence of Christ, and in this
only, did the second temple exceed the first in glory. But Israel had
put from her the proffered Gift of heaven. With the humble Teacher who
had that day passed out from its golden gate, the glory had forever
departed from the temple. Already were the Saviour's words fulfilled:
“Your house is left unto you desolate.” Matthew 23:38.
The
disciples had been filled with awe and wonder at Christ's prediction of
the overthrow of the temple, and they desired to understand more fully
the meaning of His words. Wealth, labor, and architectural skill had for
more than forty years been freely expended to enhance its splendors.
Herod the Great had
lavished upon it both Roman wealth and Jewish treasure, and even the
emperor of the world had enriched it with his gifts. Massive blocks of
white marble, of almost fabulous size, forwarded from Rome for this
purpose, formed a part of its structure; and to these the disciples had
called the attention of their Master, saying: “See what manner of stones
and what buildings are here!” Mark 13:1.
To
these words, Jesus made the solemn and startling reply: “Verily I say
unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that
shall not be thrown down.” Matthew 24:2.
With
the overthrow of Jerusalem the disciples associated the events of
Christ's personal coming in temporal glory to take the throne of
universal empire, to punish the impenitent Jews, and to break from off
the nation the Roman yoke. The Lord had told them that He would come the
second time. Hence at the mention of judgments upon Jerusalem, their
minds reverted to that coming; and as they were gathered about the
Saviour upon the Mount of Olives, they asked: “When shall these things
be? and what shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the
world?” Verse 3.
The
future was mercifully veiled from the disciples. Had they at that time
fully comprehended the two awful facts—the Redeemer's sufferings and
death, and the destruction of their city and temple—they would have been
overwhelmed with horror. Christ presented before them an outline of the
prominent events to take place before the close of time. His words were
not then fully understood; but their meaning was to be unfolded as His
people should need the instruction therein given. The prophecy which He
uttered was twofold in its meaning; while foreshadowing the destruction
of Jerusalem, it prefigured also the terrors of the last great day.
Jesus
declared to the listening disciples the judgments that were to fall
upon apostate Israel, and especially the retributive vengeance that
would come upon them for their rejection and crucifixion of the Messiah.
Unmistakable signs would precede the awful climax. The dreaded hour
would come suddenly and
swiftly. And the Saviour warned His followers: “When ye therefore shall
see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet,
stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) then let
them which be in Judea flee into the mountains.” Matthew 24:15, 16; Luke 21:20, 21.
When the idolatrous standards of the Romans should be set up in the
holy ground, which extended some furlongs outside the city walls, then
the followers of Christ were to find safety in flight. When the warning
sign should be seen, those who would escape must make no delay.
Throughout the land of Judea, as well as in Jerusalem itself, the signal
for flight must be immediately obeyed. He who chanced to be upon the
housetop must not go down into his house, even to save his most valued
treasures. Those who were working in the fields or vineyards must not
take time to return for the outer garment laid aside while they should
be toiling in the heat of the day. They must not hesitate a moment, lest
they be involved in the general destruction.
In
the reign of Herod, Jerusalem had not only been greatly beautified, but
by the erection of towers, walls, and fortresses, adding to the natural
strength of its situation, it had been rendered apparently impregnable.
He who would at this time have foretold publicly its destruction,
would, like Noah in his day, have been called a crazed alarmist. But
Christ had said: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall
not pass away.” Matthew 24:35. Because of her sins, wrath had been denounced against Jerusalem, and her stubborn unbelief rendered her doom certain.
The
Lord had declared by the prophet Micah: “Hear this, I pray you, ye
heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that
abhor judgment, and pervert all equity. They build up Zion with blood,
and Jerusalem with iniquity. The heads thereof judge for reward, and the
priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for
money: yet will they lean upon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord among
us? none evil can come upon us.” Micah 3:9-11.
These
words faithfully described the corrupt and self-righteous inhabitants
of Jerusalem. While claiming to observe rigidly the precepts of God's
law, they were transgressing all its principles. They hated Christ
because His purity and holiness revealed their iniquity; and they
accused Him of being the cause of all the troubles which had come upon
them in consequence of their sins. Though they knew Him to be sinless,
they had declared that His death was necessary to their safety as a
nation. “If we let Him thus alone,” said the Jewish leaders, “all men
will believe on Him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our
place and nation.” John 11:48.
If Christ were sacrificed, they might once more become a strong, united
people. Thus they reasoned, and they concurred in the decision of their
high priest, that it would be better for one man to die than for the
whole nation to perish.
Thus the Jewish leaders had built up “Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.” Micah 3:10.
And yet, while they slew their Saviour because He reproved their sins,
such was their self-righteousness that they regarded themselves as God's
favored people and expected the Lord to deliver them from their
enemies. “Therefore,” continued the prophet, “shall Zion for your sake
be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain
of the house as the high places of the forest.” Verse 12.
For
nearly forty years after the doom of Jerusalem had been pronounced by
Christ Himself, the Lord delayed His judgments upon the city and the
nation. Wonderful was the long-suffering of God toward the rejectors of
His gospel and the murderers of His Son. The parable of the unfruitful
tree represented God's dealings with the Jewish nation. The command had
gone forth, “Cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?” (Luke 13:7)
but divine mercy had spared it yet a little longer. There were still
many among the Jews who were ignorant of the character and the work of
Christ. And the children had not enjoyed the opportunities or
received the light which their parents had spurned. Through the
preaching of the apostles and their associates, God would cause light to
shine upon them; they would be permitted to see how prophecy had been
fulfilled, not only in the birth and life of Christ, but in His death
and resurrection. The children were not condemned for the sins of the
parents; but when, with a knowledge of all the light given to their
parents, the children rejected the additional light granted to
themselves, they became partakers of the parents’ sins, and filled up
the measure of their iniquity.
The
long-suffering of God toward Jerusalem only confirmed the Jews in their
stubborn impenitence. In their hatred and cruelty toward the disciples
of Jesus they rejected the last offer of mercy. Then God withdrew His
protection from them and removed His restraining power from Satan and
his angels, and the nation was left to the control of the leader she had
chosen. Her children had spurned the grace of Christ, which would have
enabled them to subdue their evil impulses, and now these became the
conquerors. Satan aroused the fiercest and most debased passions of the
soul. Men did not reason; they were beyond reason—controlled by impulse
and blind rage. They became satanic in their cruelty. In the family and
in the nation, among the highest and the lowest classes alike, there was
suspicion, envy, hatred, strife, rebellion, murder. There was no safety
anywhere. Friends and kindred betrayed one another. Parents slew their
children, and children their parents. The rulers of the people had no
power to rule themselves. Uncontrolled passions made them tyrants. The
Jews had accepted false testimony to condemn the innocent Son of God.
Now false accusations made their own lives uncertain. By their actions
they had long been saying: “Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from
before us.” Isaiah 30:11.
Now their desire was granted. The fear of God no longer disturbed them.
Satan was at the head of the nation, and the highest civil and
religious authorities were under his sway.
The
leaders of the opposing factions at times united to plunder and torture
their wretched victims, and again they fell upon each other's forces
and slaughtered without mercy. Even the sanctity of the temple could not
restrain their horrible ferocity. The worshipers were stricken down
before the altar, and the sanctuary was polluted with the bodies of the
slain. Yet in their blind and blasphemous presumption the instigators of
this hellish work publicly declared that they had no fear that
Jerusalem would be destroyed, for it was God's own city. To establish
their power more firmly, they bribed false prophets to proclaim, even
while Roman legions were besieging the temple, that the people were to
wait for deliverance from God. To the last, multitudes held fast to the
belief that the Most High would interpose for the defeat of their
adversaries. But Israel had spurned the divine protection, and now she
had no defense. Unhappy Jerusalem! rent by internal dissensions, the
blood of her children slain by one another's hands crimsoning her
streets, while alien armies beat down her fortifications and slew her
men of war!
All
the predictions given by Christ concerning the destruction of Jerusalem
were fulfilled to the letter. The Jews experienced the truth of His
words of warning: “With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to
you again.” Matthew 7:2.
Signs
and wonders appeared, foreboding disaster and doom. In the midst of the
night an unnatural light shone over the temple and the altar. Upon the
clouds at sunset were pictured chariots and men of war gathering for
battle. The priests ministering by night in the sanctuary were terrified
by mysterious sounds; the earth trembled, and a multitude of voices
were heard crying: “Let us depart hence.” The great eastern gate, which
was so heavy that it could hardly be shut by a score of men, and which
was secured by immense bars of iron fastened deep in the pavement of
solid stone, opened at midnight, without visible agency.—Milman, The History of the Jews, book 13.
For
seven years a man continued to go up and down the streets of Jerusalem,
declaring the woes that were to come upon the city. By day and by night
he chanted the wild dirge: “A voice from the east! a voice from the
west! a voice from the four winds! a voice against Jerusalem and against
the temple! a voice against the bridegrooms and the brides! a voice
against the whole people!”—Ibid. This strange being was
imprisoned and scourged, but no complaint escaped his lips. To insult
and abuse he answered only: “Woe, woe to Jerusalem!” “woe, woe to the
inhabitants thereof!” His warning cry ceased not until he was slain in
the siege he had foretold.
Not
one Christian perished in the destruction of Jerusalem. Christ had
given His disciples warning, and all who believed His words watched for
the promised sign. “When ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies,”
said Jesus, “then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let
them which are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in
the midst of it depart out.” Luke 21:20, 21.
After the Romans under Cestius had surrounded the city, they
unexpectedly abandoned the siege when everything seemed favorable for an
immediate attack. The besieged, despairing of successful resistance,
were on the point of surrender, when the Roman general withdrew his
forces without the least apparent reason. But God's merciful providence
was directing events for the good of His own people. The promised sign
had been given to the waiting Christians, and now an opportunity was
offered for all who would, to obey the Saviour's warning. Events were so
overruled that neither Jews nor Romans should hinder the flight of the
Christians. Upon the retreat of Cestius, the Jews, sallying from
Jerusalem, pursued after his retiring army; and while both forces were
thus fully engaged, the Christians had an opportunity to leave the city.
At this time the country also
had been cleared of enemies who might have endeavored to intercept
them. At the time of the siege, the Jews were assembled at Jerusalem to
keep the Feast of Tabernacles, and thus the Christians throughout the
land were able to make their escape unmolested. Without delay they fled
to a place of safety—the city of Pella, in the land of Perea, beyond
Jordan.
The
Jewish forces, pursuing after Cestius and his army, fell upon their
rear with such fierceness as to threaten them with total destruction. It
was with great difficulty that the Romans succeeded in making their
retreat. The Jews escaped almost without loss, and with their spoils
returned in triumph to Jerusalem. Yet this apparent success brought them
only evil. It inspired them with that spirit of stubborn resistance to
the Romans which speedily brought unutterable woe upon the doomed city.
Terrible
were the calamities that fell upon Jerusalem when the siege was resumed
by Titus. The city was invested at the time of the Passover, when
millions of Jews were assembled within its walls. Their stores of
provision, which if carefully preserved would have supplied the
inhabitants for years, had previously been destroyed through the
jealousy and revenge of the contending factions, and now all the horrors
of starvation were experienced. A measure of wheat was sold for a
talent. So fierce were the pangs of hunger that men would gnaw the
leather of their belts and sandals and the covering of their shields.
Great numbers of the people would steal out at night to gather wild
plants growing outside the city walls, though many were seized and put
to death with cruel torture, and often those who returned in safety were
robbed of what they had gleaned at so great peril. The most inhuman
tortures were inflicted by those in power, to force from the
want-stricken people the last scanty supplies which they might have
concealed. And these cruelties were not infrequently practiced by men
who were themselves well fed, and who were merely desirous of laying up a
store of provision for the future.
Thousands
perished from famine and pestilence. Natural affection seemed to have
been destroyed. Husbands robbed their wives, and wives their husbands.
Children would be seen snatching the food from the mouths of their aged
parents. The question of the prophet, “Can a woman forget her sucking
child?” received the answer within the walls of that doomed city: “The
hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were
their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.” Isaiah 49:15; Lamentations 4:10.
Again was fulfilled the warning prophecy given fourteen centuries
before: “The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not
adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness
and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom,
and toward her son, and toward her daughter, ... and toward her children
which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things
secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall
distress thee in thy gates.” Deuteronomy 28:56, 57.
The
Roman leaders endeavored to strike terror to the Jews and thus cause
them to surrender. Those prisoners who resisted when taken, were
scourged, tortured, and crucified before the wall of the city. Hundreds
were daily put to death in this manner, and the dreadful work continued
until, along the Valley of Jehoshaphat and at Calvary, crosses were
erected in so great numbers that there was scarcely room to move among
them. So terribly was visited that awful imprecation uttered before the
judgment seat of Pilate: “His blood be on us, and on our children.” Matthew 27:25.
Titus
would willingly have put an end to the fearful scene, and thus have
spared Jerusalem the full measure of her doom. He was filled with horror
as he saw the bodies of the dead lying in heaps in the valleys. Like
one entranced, he looked from the crest of Olivet upon the magnificent
temple and gave command that not one stone of it be touched. Before
attempting to gain possession of this stronghold,
he made an earnest appeal to the Jewish leaders not to force him to
defile the sacred place with blood. If they would come forth and fight
in any other place, no Roman should violate the sanctity of the temple.
Josephus himself, in a most eloquent appeal, entreated them to
surrender, to save themselves, their city, and their place of worship.
But his words were answered with bitter curses. Darts were hurled at
him, their last human mediator, as he stood pleading with them. The Jews
had rejected the entreaties of the Son of God, and now expostulation
and entreaty only made them more determined to resist to the last. In
vain were the efforts of Titus to save the temple; One greater than he
had declared that not one stone was to be left upon another.
The
blind obstinacy of the Jewish leaders, and the detestable crimes
perpetrated within the besieged city, excited the horror and indignation
of the Romans, and Titus at last decided to take the temple by storm.
He determined, however, that if possible it should be saved from
destruction. But his commands were disregarded. After he had retired to
his tent at night, the Jews, sallying from the temple, attacked the
soldiers without. In the struggle, a firebrand was flung by a soldier
through an opening in the porch, and immediately the cedar-lined
chambers about the holy house were in a blaze. Titus rushed to the
place, followed by his generals and legionaries, and commanded the
soldiers to quench the flames. His words were unheeded. In their fury
the soldiers hurled blazing brands into the chambers adjoining the
temple, and then with their swords they slaughtered in great numbers
those who had found shelter there. Blood flowed down the temple steps
like water. Thousands upon thousands of Jews perished. Above the sound
of battle, voices were heard shouting: “Ichabod!”—the glory is departed.
“Titus
found it impossible to check the rage of the soldiery; he entered with
his officers, and surveyed the interior of the sacred edifice. The
splendor filled them with wonder; and as the flames had not yet
penetrated to the holy place,
he made a last effort to save it, and springing forth, again exhorted
the soldiers to stay the progress of the conflagration. The centurion
Liberalis endeavored to force obedience with his staff of office; but
even respect for the emperor gave way to the furious animosity against
the Jews, to the fierce excitement of battle, and to the insatiable hope
of plunder. The soldiers saw everything around them radiant with gold,
which shone dazzlingly in the wild light of the flames; they supposed
that incalculable treasures were laid up in the sanctuary. A soldier,
unperceived, thrust a lighted torch between the hinges of the door: the
whole building was in flames in an instant. The blinding smoke and fire
forced the officers to retreat, and the noble edifice was left to its
fate.
“It
was an appalling spectacle to the Roman—what was it to the Jew? The
whole summit of the hill which commanded the city, blazed like a
volcano. One after another the buildings fell in, with a tremendous
crash, and were swallowed up in the fiery abyss. The roofs of cedar were
like sheets of flame; the gilded pinnacles shone like spikes of red
light; the gate towers sent up tall columns of flame and smoke. The
neighboring hills were lighted up; and dark groups of people were seen
watching in horrible anxiety the progress of the destruction: the walls
and heights of the upper city were crowded with faces, some pale with
the agony of despair, others scowling unavailing vengeance. The shouts
of the Roman soldiery as they ran to and fro, and the howlings of the
insurgents who were perishing in the flames, mingled with the roaring of
the conflagration and the thundering sound of falling timbers. The
echoes of the mountains replied or brought back the shrieks of the
people on the heights; all along the walls resounded screams and
wailings; men who were expiring with famine rallied their remaining
strength to utter a cry of anguish and desolation.
“The
slaughter within was even more dreadful than the spectacle from
without. Men and women, old and young, insurgents and priests, those who
fought and those who entreated mercy, were hewn down in indiscriminate
carnage. The number of the slain exceeded that of the slayers. The
legionaries had to clamber over heaps of dead to carry on the work of
extermination.”—Milman, The History of the Jews, book 16.
After
the destruction of the temple, the whole city soon fell into the hands
of the Romans. The leaders of the Jews forsook their impregnable towers,
and Titus found them solitary. He gazed upon them with amazement, and
declared that God had given them into his hands; for no engines, however
powerful, could have prevailed against those stupendous battlements.
Both the city and the temple were razed to their foundations, and the
ground upon which the holy house had stood was “plowed like a field.” Jeremiah 26:18.
In the siege and the slaughter that followed, more than a million of
the people perished; the survivors were carried away as captives, sold
as slaves, dragged to Rome to grace the conqueror's triumph, thrown to
wild beasts in the amphitheaters, or scattered as homeless wanderers
throughout the earth.
The
Jews had forged their own fetters; they had filled for themselves the
cup of vengeance. In the utter destruction that befell them as a nation,
and in all the woes that followed them in their dispersion, they were
but reaping the harvest which their own hands had sown. Says the
prophet: “O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself;” “for thou hast fallen
by thine iniquity.” Hosea 13:9; 14:1.
Their sufferings are often represented as a punishment visited upon
them by the direct decree of God. It is thus that the great deceiver
seeks to conceal his own work. By stubborn rejection of divine love and
mercy, the Jews had caused the protection of God to be withdrawn from
them, and Satan was permitted to rule them according to his will. The
horrible cruelties enacted in the destruction of Jerusalem are a
demonstration of Satan's vindictive power over those who yield to his
control.
We
cannot know how much we owe to Christ for the peace and protection
which we enjoy. It is the restraining power of God that prevents mankind
from passing fully under the control of Satan. The disobedient and
unthankful have great reason for gratitude for God's mercy and
long-suffering in holding in check the cruel, malignant power of the
evil one. But when men pass the limits of divine forbearance, that
restraint is removed. God does not stand toward the sinner as an
executioner of the sentence against transgression; but He leaves the
rejectors of His mercy to themselves, to reap that which they have sown.
Every ray of light rejected, every warning despised or unheeded, every
passion indulged, every transgression of the law of God, is a seed sown
which yields its unfailing harvest. The Spirit of God, persistently
resisted, is at last withdrawn from the sinner, and then there is left
no power to control the evil passions of the soul, and no protection
from the malice and enmity of Satan. The destruction of Jerusalem is a
fearful and solemn warning to all who are trifling with the offers of
divine grace and resisting the pleadings of divine mercy. Never was
there given a more decisive testimony to God's hatred of sin and to the
certain punishment that will fall upon the guilty.
The
Saviour's prophecy concerning the visitation of judgments upon
Jerusalem is to have another fulfillment, of which that terrible
desolation was but a faint shadow. In the fate of the chosen city we may
behold the doom of a world that has rejected God's mercy and trampled
upon His law. Dark are the records of human misery that earth has
witnessed during its long centuries of crime. The heart sickens, and the
mind grows faint in contemplation. Terrible have been the results of
rejecting the authority of Heaven. But a scene yet darker is presented
in the revelations of the future. The records of the past,—the long
procession of tumults, conflicts, and revolutions, the “battle of the
warrior ... with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood” (Isaiah 9:5),—what
are these, in contrast with the terrors of that day when the
restraining Spirit of God shall be wholly withdrawn from the wicked, no
longer to hold in check the outburst of human passion and satanic wrath!
The world will then behold, as never before, the results of Satan's
rule.
But
in that day, as in the time of Jerusalem's destruction, God's people
will be delivered, everyone that shall be found written among the
living. Isaiah 4:3.
Christ has declared that He will come the second time to gather His
faithful ones to Himself: “Then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,
and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with
power and great glory. And He shall send His angels with a great sound
of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four
winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” Matthew 24:30, 31.
Then shall they that obey not the gospel be consumed with the spirit of
His mouth and be destroyed with the brightness of His coming. 2 Thessalonians 2:8.
Like Israel of old the wicked destroy themselves; they fall by their
iniquity. By a life of sin, they have placed themselves so out of
harmony with God, their natures have become so debased with evil, that
the manifestation of His glory is to them a consuming fire.
Let
men beware lest they neglect the lesson conveyed to them in the words
of Christ. As He warned His disciples of Jerusalem's destruction, giving
them a sign of the approaching ruin, that they might make their escape;
so He has warned the world of the day of final destruction and has
given them tokens of its approach, that all who will may flee from the
wrath to come. Jesus declares: “There shall be signs in the sun, and in
the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations.” Luke 21:25; Matthew 24:29; Mark 13:24-26; Revelation 6:12-17. Those who behold these harbingers of His coming are to “know that it is near, even at the doors.” Matthew 24:33. “Watch ye therefore,” are His words of admonition. Mark 13:35.
They that heed the warning shall not be left in darkness, that that day
should overtake them unawares. But to them that will not watch, “the
day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.” 1 Thessalonians 5:2-5.
The
world is no more ready to credit the message for this time than were
the Jews to receive the Saviour's warning concerning Jerusalem. Come
when it may, the day of God will come unawares to the ungodly. When life
is going on in its unvarying round; when men are absorbed in pleasure,
in business, in traffic, in money-making; when religious leaders are
magnifying the world's progress and enlightenment, and the people are
lulled in a false security—then, as the midnight thief steals within the
unguarded dwelling, so shall sudden destruction come upon the careless
and ungodly, “and they shall not escape.” Verse 3..
3.3rd Destruction of Jerusalem by Roman Catholic Church Jesuit Pope Francis 31/10/2017 to 15/10/2024 A.D:
(Current Spiritual Israel's Jews Nation(7th Day Adventists) rebelled (by
refusing to comply with sanctions they owed a Reforming Catholic
Confession Document of silencing 7th day Adventists to never again
preach divisional Gospel of Revelation 14:9-12 that Exposes the Beast
whose number is 666 the Roman Catholic Church Papacy by convention to
the Roman Catholic Church Vatican Jesuit Pope Francis )against Current Spiritual Babylon Army(Roman Catholic Church Jesuits led by Jesuit Pope Francis (from when Pastor Ted Wilson Called All 7th Day Adventists on
YouTube to Raise Up their Voices to Proclaim the Gospel that violates
the signed convention of A reforming Catholic Confession on 31/10/2017
as along side with the current COVID-19 Lock-down and Vaccination
progress for the preaching of the 3rd Angel's Message Worldwide while
they have signed a reforming Catholic confession Document to never Again
Preach the divisional 3rd Angel's message of Revelation 14:1-13 ,which exposes clearly the roman Catholic Church in Revelation 13:1-18 ) leading to Destruction
of Current Spiritual Jerusalem(7th Day Adventist general Conference leadership) in one of the 3 different
sessions:1st by Babylon King Nebuchadnezzar 605–539 B.C., 2nd by Roman
Emperor Titus 67 to 74 A.D, 3rd by Roman Catholic Church Jesuit Pope
Francis 31/10/2017 to 15/10/2024 A.D.due to the Current Jewish Apostasy(7th Day Adventist Church Apostasy) to
Almighty God"Under Leadership of Pastor Ted Wilson in 31/10/2017 towards 15/10/2024 A.D"){Pastor Ted Wilson's words as He warns about soon coming Persecution to All 7th Day Adventists Members after this COVID-19 Pandemic(Jesuits's Plan-Demic built mission) as a Precursor to the coming Persecution and followed by 7 plagues!!It is all Said in the Video Click here :8/5/2020:
Pastor Ted Wilson, president of the Seventh-day Adventist World Church, delivers a message to all Adventist church members: "Friends, according to biblical understanding, this is not the final crisis. This is not one of the seven last plagues, but it certainly is a precursor to what is coming. I believe that Jesus is coming very soon. Biblical prophecy will be fulfilled. You can count on that. We are living in the last days of Earth's history."}
{5.The Great Apostasy of General Conference of 7th Day Adventist (SDA) Church againist our Almighty God was revealed when they confessed their original assignment of preaching the 3rd Angel's message and the great controversy between Jesus Christ and SATAN as a SIN to the Roman Catholic Church on 31st October 2017.
a)This year 2017 , is the same Year that puts an end on the proclamation of the 3rd Angel's message on the public pulpits of all 7th day Adventist Churches Worldwide , particularly from the Churches that are controlled by the 7th Day Adventist General Conference.
b)Seventh Day Adventist Church Hijacked By The General Conference Ted Wilson, Diop Ecumenical Apology
c)However, at least 1.2354152367% Signatures of 7th Day Adventist Global Churches were sufficient for SATAN and His PAPACY Power to accept the confession of 7th Day Adventist General Conference confirming their dedicated Power of Preaching the 3rd Angel's Message from Jesus Christ to SATAN and His Universal Power the Roman Catholic Papacy to Unit the 7th Day Adventist Churches with SATANIC Teachings from ROMAN CATHOLIC PAGAN BASED RITUALS, under Leadership of Pastor Ted Wilson and Pastor Ganoune Diop ,by allowing the Appearance of the Representatives of the denomination of the 7th day Adventist General Conference.
d)Surprisingly, the delegated representatives of Worldwide 7th Day Adventist General Conference Churches who keep SATURDAYS as True Protestants who are supposedly should teach others to Obey the Commandments of Almighty God including the 4th commandment of keeping 7th Day Sabbath Holy, on 31st October 2017 have decided to Join other Worldwide Apostate Protestants who disobey Almighty God's commandments by keeping SUNDAYS which represent the Mark of the Beast mentioned by Jesus Christ Himself in the mission He assigned the 7th day Adventist Church as to be preaching the rest of the Worldwide Churches the 3rd Angel's Message.
e)Among others, those who signed for the Papacy are :
1. James A. Ayars Pastor Seventh-day Adventist United States
2. Deyvid de Souza Vilela Seventh-Day Adventist Church Brazil
3. Andrew Tryer Head elder Venture Seventh Day Adventist United States
3. Rey Evano Seventh Day Adventist United States
4. Dr. Nicholas Miller Professor of Church History Andrews University - Adventist Seminary United States
5. Michael W. Campbell Associate Professor Adventist International Institute of Advanced Studies/Seventh-day Adventist Philippines
6. Eric A Korff Retired Seventh-day Adventist United States
7. James A. Ayars Pastor Seventh Day Adventist United States (Name repeated in the original list)
8. Sergio A. Caishpal Associate Pastor Seventh-day Adventist Church United States
9. Donna L Wessel Seventh Day Adventist United States
10. James A.Ayars Pastor Seventh-day Adventist United States(Name repeated in the original list)
11. Nichols Miller Professor Andrews University Adventist United States
12. Christopher Pitta Pastor (retired) Seventh-day Adventist United Kingdom
13. Hubertus Murk Member Seventh Day Adventist Netherlands
14. Jose Maria Dos Santos Adventista Adventista do Setmo Dia Brazil
15. James A. Alves Ancion Adventist se vem day Argentina
16. James A. Nilson Presidente Adventist se vem day Argentina
17. Dr. John C. Peckham Assoc. Professor of Theology & Christian Philosophy Andrews University United States,
While following their current positions given on the original list they Count 1.2354152367% of all protestants counting 1457.(Surprisingly On Mar 22nd In the year 1457 Gutenberg Bible became the first printed book, while the Roman Catholic Church Pope Francis decided to use an exact Number of Signatures equal to the Year of the 1st New testament printed in Gutenberg , which contributed much in the protestants' reformation process)
This Great Apostasy of General Conference of SDA is leading to the punishment of Almighty God to the whole Church of the SDA worldwide , where all its members who will not confess their individuals sins before the year 2021 will be surrendered in the hands of their enemies the Jesuits who will revenge themselves to fulfill the prophecy of Daniel 8:10-13 following the Repetition Model.Daniel 8:10-13“And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.”
6. This Year 2017 was reserved by Almighty God to generate the New Prophetic Number "1177=1000+177"for this time.
The 7th Day Adventist Churches' General Conference thereafter has decided to reject Jesus Christ's 3rd Angel's Message and the Spirit of Prophecy given by Jesus Christ Himself to Ellen G. White basing on the William Miller's Great Advent movement in the Year 1844, and basing again on the 1st Vision of Ellen G. White that revealed the Truth of the Seal of Almighty God which is the 7th Day Holy Sabbath in the Year 1847 .
Therefore, through this Great Apostasy of October 31st, 2017 admitted by the 7th Day Adventist Global Churches Representatives under the power of delegation from the 7th Day Adventist General Conference , that apostasy will thereafter bring the curse fro Almighty God to this transgression of uniting the Holy Church of Almighty God the 7th Day Adventist Church that Almighty God Himself created through the small group of Ellen G.White and other pioneers which its initiation is based on the 1st Vision He provided to Ellen G. White in the Year 1847.
To Unit the Global Leadership of 7th Day Adventist Churches with Apostate Protestants Churches to betray the fundamental duties of the 7th Day Adventist Churches of proclaiming the 3rd Angel's Message in the Leadership of SATAN represented by the Roman Catholic Church, this is takes the Year 2017 in the same trouble of repetition of the destroying SODOM and Gomorrah with all living people inside the City of SATAN the Roman Catholic New O World Order that practiced the same SIN of forcing men to men Sexual fornication in an other form as NATIONAL SUNDAY LAWS enforcement to all the Members of 7th Day Adventist Churches worldwide as also enforcing to support the current LGBT.
The Significance of the Sabbath was Revealed to James and Ellen White in 1847: {they took their stand purely from the scriptural evidence to which their minds had been directed in the Bates tract. Then on the first Sabbath in April, 1847, seven months after they began to keep and teach the Seventh-day Sabbath, the Lord gave a vision to Mrs. White at Topsham, Maine, in which the importance of the Sabbath was stressed. She saw the tables of the law in the ark in the heavenly sanctuary, and a halo of light about the fourth commandment. See pages 32-35 for the account of this vision. The position previously taken from the study of the word of God was confirmed. The vision also helped to broaden the believer's concept of Sabbath observance. In this revelation, Mrs. White was carried down to the close of time and saw the Sabbath as the great testing truth on which men decide whether to serve God or to serve an apostate power. Looking back in 1874 to this experience, she wrote: “I believed the truth upon the Sabbath question before I had seen anything in vision in reference to the Sabbath. It was months after I had commenced keeping the Sabbath before I was shown its importance and its place in the third angel's message.”—E. G. White Letter 2, 1874.}
7. Therefore, Following the Repetition Model, Almighty God has fulfilled His promise to tell the Saints the exact Day and Hour of the 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ after the falling of 7 plagues ,Revelation 16:1-21
a) Before Almighty God pours the Latter Rain , there must come an event that Almighty god has Promised in the 1st Vision He gave to Ellen G. White of giving the voice of God like many waters(read about this voice in Revelation 14:1-5), which gave us the day and hour of Jesus’ coming, and that must preceded the enforcement of the Mark of the Beast that must come in 2021; while the mark of the beast is the enforcement of the NATIONAL SUNDAY LAWS that must begin from United States of America(USA) after modifying its Constitution to form the Image of the Beast by including Church and Sate Unification LAWS and to be continued to the rest of the World to fulfill the Bible Prophecy in Revelation 13:11-18.
b) Abraham Pleaded for Sodom Genesis 18:16-22{ 16.When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way. 17. Then the Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? 18. Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him.[c] 19. For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just, so that the Lord will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him.” 20. Then the Lord said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous 21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know.” 22. The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the Lord.[d] 23. Then Abraham approached him and said: “Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? 24. What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare[e] the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? 25. Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?” 26. The Lord said, “If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake.” 27. Then Abraham spoke up again: “Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, 28. what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five people?” “If I find forty-five there,” he said, “I will not destroy it.” 29. Once again he spoke to him, “What if only forty are found there?” He said, “For the sake of forty, I will not do it.” 30. Then he said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?” He answered, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.” 31. Abraham said, “Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?” He said, “For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it.” 32. Then he said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?” He answered, “For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it.” 33. When the Lord had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home.}
