• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Chapter twenty four in the Holy of Holies. The subject
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: of the sanctuary was the key which unlocked the mystery
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: of the Disappointment of eighteen forty four. It opened to
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: view a complete system of truth, connected and harmonious, showing
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: that God's hand had directed the great Advent movement, and
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: revealing present duty as it brought to light the position
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and work of his people. As the Disciples of Jesus,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: after the terrible knight of their anguish and disappointment, were
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: glad when they saw the Lord, so did those now
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: rejoice who had looked in faith for his second coming.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: They had expected him to appear in glory to give
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: reward to his servants. As their hopes were disappointed, they
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: had lost sight of Jesus, and with Mary at the sepulcher,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: they cried, they have taken away my Lord, and I
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: know not where they have laid him. Now in the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Holy of Holies they again beheld him, their compassionate High Priest,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: soon to appear as their king and delivery. Light from
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the sanctuary illumined the past, the present, and the future.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: They knew that God had led them by his honoring providence.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Though like the first Disciples they themselves had failed to
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: understand the message which they bore, Yet it had been
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: in every respect correct. In proclaiming it, they had fulfilled
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the purpose of God, and their labor had not been
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: in vain. In the Lord begotten again unto a lively hope,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: they rejoiced with joy unspeakable and full of glory, both
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: the prophecy of Danielate fourteen unto two thousand and three
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: hundred days. Then shall the sanctuary be cleansed and the
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: first Angel's message. Fear God and give glory to Him,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: for the hour of his judgment is come pointed to
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Christ's ministration in the most holy place, to the investigative judgment,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and not to the coming of Christ for the redemption
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: of his people and the destruction of the wicked. The
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: mistake had not been in the reckoning of the prophetic periods,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: but in the event to take place at the end
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: of the twenty three hundred days. Through this error, the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: believers had suffered disappointment. Yet all that was foretold by
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the prophecy, and all that they had any scripture warrant
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to expect, had been accomplished at the very time when
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: they were lamenting the failure of their hopes. The event
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: had taken place which was foretold by the message, and
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: which must be fulfilled before the Lord could appear to
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: give reward to his servants. Christ had come not to
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the earth as they expected, but as foreshadowed in the type,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to the most holy place of the Temple of God
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: in heaven. He is represented by the prophet Daniel as
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: coming at this time to the Ancient of Days. I
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: saw in the night visions. And behold, one like the
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Son of Man came with the clouds of heaven, and
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: came not to the earth, but to the Ancient of days.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: And they brought him near before him. This coming is
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: foretold also by the prophet Malachi. The Lord whom he
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: seek shall suddenly come to his temple. Even the messenger
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: of the Covenant, whom ye delight in, behold, he shall come, Saith,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the Lord of Hosts. The coming of the Lord to
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: his temple was sudden, unexpected to his people. They were
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: not looking for him there. They expected him to come
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to earth in flaming fire, taking vengeance on them that
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: know not God and that obey not the Gospel. But
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the people were not yet ready to meet their Lord
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: there was still a work of preparation to be accomplished.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: For them. Light was to be given directing their minds
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: to the Temple of God in heaven, and as they
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: should by faith follow their high Priest in his ministration. There,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: new duties would be revealed. Another message of warning and
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: instruction was to be given to the church, says the Prophet,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: who may abide the day of his coming, and who
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: shall stand when he appereth, For he is like a
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: refiner's fire, and like fuller soap, And he shall sit
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: as a refiner and purifier of silver. And he shall
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: purify the sons of Levi and purge them as gold
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and silver, that they may all offer unto the Lord,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: an offering in righteousness. Those who are living upon the earth,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: when the intercession of Christ shall cease in the sanctuary above,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: are to stand in the sight of a holy God
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: without a mediator. Their robes must be spotless, their characters
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: must be purified from sin by the blood of sprinkling,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: through the grace of God and their own diligent effort.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: They must be conquerors in the battle with evil. While
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the investigative judgment is going forward in heaven, while the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: sins of penitent believers are being removed from the sanctuary.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: There is to be a special work of purification, of
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: putting away of sin among God's people upon earth. This
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: work is more clearly presented in the Messages of Revelation fourteen.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: When this work shall have been accomplished, the followers of
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Christ will be ready for his appearing. Then shall the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: as in the days of old, and as in former years.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Then the church which our life the Lord at his
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: coming is to receive to himself, will be a glorious church,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing. Then
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: she will look forth us the morning, fair as the moon,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Besides the coming of the Lord to his temple, Malachi
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: also foretells his second advent, his coming for the execution
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: of the judgment, in these words, and I will come
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: near to you to judgment. And I will be a
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulters, and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: in his wages. The widow and the fatherless, and that
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: me saith the Lord of hosts. Jude refers to the
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: same scene when he says, behold, the Lord cometh with
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: and to convince all that are ungodly among them of
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: all their ungodly deeds. This coming and the coming of
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the Lord his Temple are distinct and separate events. The
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: coming of Christ as our High Priest to the most
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: holy place for the cleansing of the sanctuary brought to
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: view and Danelate fourteen, the coming of the Son of
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Man to the ancient of days as presented in Daniel
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: seven thirteen, and the coming of the Lord to his
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: temple foretold by Malachi are descriptions of the same event.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: And this is also represented by the coming of the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: bridegroom to the marriage described by Christ in the Parable
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: of the Ten Virgins of Matthew twenty five. In the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: summer and autumn of eighteen forty four, the proclamation Behold
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the Bridegroom cometh was given. The two classes represented by
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the wise and foolish virgins were then developed one class
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: who looked with joy to the Lord's appearing, and who
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: had been diligently preparing to meet him. Another class, that
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: influenced by fear and acting from impulse, had been satisfied
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: with the theory of the truth, but were destitute of
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the grace of God. In the parable, when the bridegroom came,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: they that were ready went in with him to the marriage.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: The coming of the bridegroom, here brought to view, takes
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: place before the marriage. The marriage represents the reception by
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Christ of his kingdom, the Holy City, the New Jerusalem,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: which is the capital and representative of the kingdom, is
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: called the Bride the Lamb's wife, said the Angel to John,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: come hither, I will show thee the bride the Lamb's wife.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: He carried me away in the spirits as the prophet,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: and showed me that great city, the Holy Jerusalem, descending
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: out of Heaven from God. Clearly, then the bride represents
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the Holy City, and the virgins that go out to
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: meet the bridegroom are a symbol of the Church. In
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the Revelation, the people of God are said to be
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the guests at the marriage supper. If guests, they cannot
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: be represented also as the bride Christ. As stated by
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the prophet, Daniel will receive from the Ancient of days
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: in heaven dominion and glory and a kingdom. He will
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: receive the New Jerusalem, the capital of his kingdom, prepared
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: as a bride adorned for her husband. Having received the kingdom,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: he will come in his glory as King of kings
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and Lord of lords for the redemption of his people.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Who are to sit down with Abraham and Isaac and
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Jacob at his table in his kingdom to partake of
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the marriage supper of the Lamb. The proclamation Behold the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Bridegroom cometh in the summer of eighteen forty four, left
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: thousands to expect the immediate advent of the Lord at
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the appointed time. The bridegroom came not to the earth,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: as the people expected, but to the Ancient of days
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: in heaven, to the marriage the reception of his kingdom.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: They that were ready went in with him to the marriage,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and the door was shut. They were not to be
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: present in person at the marriage, for it takes place
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: in heaven while they are upon the earth. The followers
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: of Christ are to wait for their Lord when he
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: will return from the wedding, but they are to understand
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: his work and to follow him by faith as he
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: goes in before God. It is in this sense that
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: they are said to go into the marriage. In the parable,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: it was those that had oil in their vessels with
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: their lamps that went into the marriage. Those who, with
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the knowledge of the truth from the scriptures, had also
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the spirit and grace of God, and who, in the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: night of their bitter trial, had patiently waited searching the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Bible for clearer light. These saw the truth concerning the
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: sanctuary in Heaven and the Saviour's change of ministration, and
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: by faith they followed him in his work in the
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: sanctuary above. And all who, through the testimony of the
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: scriptures except the same truths, following Christ by faith as
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: he enters in before God to perform the last work
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: of mediation and at its close to receive his kingdom.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: All these are represented as going into the marriage. In
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the Parable of Matthew twenty two, the same figure of
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the marriage is introduced, and the investigative judgment is clearly
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: represented as taking place before the marriage, previous to the
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the wedding. The king comes in to see the guests
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to see if all are attired in the wedding garment,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the spotless robe of character, washed and made white in
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the blood of the lamb. He who is found wanting
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: is cast out. But all who, upon examination, are seen
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: to have the wedding garment on, are accepted of God
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: and accounted worthy of a share in His kingdom and
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: a seat upon his throne. This work of examination of character,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: of determining who are prepared for the Kingdom of God,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: is that of the investigative judgment, the closing work in
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the sanctuary above. When the work of investigation shall be ended,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: when the cases of those who in all ages have
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: professed to be followers of Christ have been examined and decided. Then,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: and not till then, probation will close, and the door
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: of mercy will be shut. Thus, in the one short sentence,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: they that were ready went in with him to the marriage,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: and the door was shut. We are carried down through
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the Saviour's final ministration to the time when the great
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: work for man's salvation shall be completed in the service
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: of the earthly sanctuary, which, as we have seen, is
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: a figure of the service in the heavenly When the
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: high priest on the day of Atonement entered the most
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Holy Place, the ministration in the first apartment ceased. God
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: commanded there shall be no man in the tabernacle of
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the Congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: in the Holy Place, until he come out. So when
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Christ entered the Holy of Holies to perform the closing
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: work of the Atonement, he ceased his ministration in the
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: first apartment. But when the ministration in the first apartment ended,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the ministration in the second apartment began. When in the
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: typical service, the high priest left the Holy on the
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: day of Atonement, he went in before God to present
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the blood of the sin, offering in behalf of all
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Israel who truly repented of their sins. So Christ had
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: only completed one part of his work as our intercessor
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: to enter upon another portion of the work, and he
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: still pleaded his blood before the Father in behalf of sinners.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: This subject was not understood by Adventists in eighteen forty four,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: after the passing of the time when the Savior was expected,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: they still believed his coming to be near. They held
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: that they had reached an important crisis, and that the
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: work of Christ as man's intercessor before God had ceased.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: It appeared to them to be taught in the Bible
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: that man's probation would close a short time before the
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: actual coming of the Lord and the clouds of heaven.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: This seemed evident from those scriptures which point to a
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: time when men will seek, knock and cry at the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: door of mercy, and it will not be opened. And
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: it was a question with them whether the date to
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: which they had looked for the coming of Christ might
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: not rather mark the beginning of this period, which was
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: immediately to precede his coming. Having given the warning of
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the judgment near, they felt that their work for the
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: world was done, and they lost their burden of soul
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: for the salvation of sinners, while the bold and blasphemous
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: scoffing of the ungodly seemed to them another evidence that
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the spirit of God had been withdrawn from the rejectors
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: of his mercy. All this confirmed them in the belief
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: that probation had ended, or, as they then expressed it,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the door of mercy was shut. But clearer light came
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: with the investigation of the sanctuary question. They now saw
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: that they were correct in believing that the end of
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: the twenty three hundred days in eighteen forty four marked
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: an important crisis. But while it was true that that
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: door of hope and mercy by which men had for
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: eighteen hundred years found access to God, was closed, another
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: door was opened, and forgiveness of sins was offered to
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: men through the intercession of Christ in the most Holy one.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Part of his ministration had closed, only to give place
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: to another. There was still an open door to the
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: heavenly sanctuary, where Christ was ministering in the sinner's behalf.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Now was seen the application of those words of Christ
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: in the Revelation addressed to the Church. At this very time.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: These things saith, He that is holy, he that is true, true,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: He that hath the key of David, He that openeth,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: and no man shutteth, and shutteth, and no man openeth.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I know thy works. Behold, I have set before thee
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: an open door, and no man can shut it. It
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: is those who by faith follow Jesus in the great
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: work of the Atonement who receive the benefits of His
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: mediation in their behalf, while those who reject the light
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: which brings to view this work of ministration are not benefited. Thereby,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the Jews, who rejected the light given at Christ's first
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Advent and refused to believe on him as the savior
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: of the world, could not receive pardon through him. When Jesus,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: at his ascension, entered by his own blood into the
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: heavenly sanctuary to shut upon his disciples the blessings of
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: his mediation, the Jews were left in total darkness to
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: continue their useless sacrifices and offerings. The ministration of Types
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: and Shadows had ceased. That door by which men had
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: formerly found access to God was no longer open. The
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Jews had refused to seek Him in the only way
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: whereby He could then be found through the ministration in
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the sanctuary in heaven. Therefore they found no communion with God.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: To them, the door was shut. They had no knowledge
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: of Christ as the true sacrifice and the only mediator
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: before God. Hence they could not receive the benefits of
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: his mediation. The condition of the unbelieving Jews illustrates the
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: condition of the careless and unbelieving among professed Christians who
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: are willingly ignorant of the work of our merciful High Priest.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: In the typical service, when the High priest entered the
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: most holy place. All Israel were required to gather about
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the sanctuary and in the most solemn manner humble their
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: souls before God, that they might receive the pardon of
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: their sins and not be cut off from the congregation.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: How much more essential in this anti typical day of Atonement,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: that we understand the work of our high Priest and
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: know what duties are required of us. Men cannot, with
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: impunity reject the warnings which God in mercy sends them.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: A message was sent from Heaven to the world in
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Noah's day, and their salvation depended upon the manner in
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: which they treated that message. Because they rejected the warning,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: the spirit of God was withdrawn from the sinful race,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: and they perished in the waters of the flood. In
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: the time of Abraham, Mercy ceased to plead with the
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: guilty inhabitants of Sodom, and all but Lot, with his
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: wife and two daughters, were consumed by the fire sent
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: down from Heaven. So in the days of Christ, the
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Son of God declared to the unbelieving Jews of that generation,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: your house is left unto you, desolate looking down to
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: the last days. The same infinite power declares concerning those
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: who received not the love of the Truth, that they
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: might be saved. For this cause. God shall send them
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: strong delusion, that they should believe a lie, that they
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: all might be damned who believe not the truth but
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: had pleasure in unrighteousness. As they reject the teachings of
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: His word, God withdraws his spirit and leaves them to
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: the deceptions which they love. But Christ still intercedes in
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: man's behalf, and light will be given to those who
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: seek it. Though this was not at first understood by Adventists,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: it was afterward made plain as the scriptures which define
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: their true position began to open before them. The passing
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: of the time in eighteen forty four was followed by
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: a period of great trial to those who still held
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: the Advent faith. Their only relief, so far as ascertaining
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: their true position was concerned, was the light which directed
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: their minds to the sanctuary above. Some renounce their faith
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: in their former reckoning of the prophetic periods, and ascribed
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: to human or Satanic agencies the powerful influence of the
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit which had attended the Advent movement. Another class
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: firmly held that the Lord had led them in their
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: past experience, and as they waited and watched and prayed
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: to know the will of God, they saw that their
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: great High Priest had entered upon another work administration, and
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: following him by faith they were led to see also
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: the closing work of the Church. They had a clearer
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: understanding of the First and Second Angel's messages, and were
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: prepared to receive and give to the world the solemn
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: warning of the Third Angel of Revelation fourteen end of
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Chapter twenty four
