Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between
thee and the woman, and between thy
seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy
head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Rev 12:7-10 And there was war in heaven:
Michael and his angels fought against the
dragon; and the dragon fought and his
angels, And prevailed not; neither was their
place found any more in heaven. And the
great dragon was cast out, that old serpent,
called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth
the whole world: he was cast out into the
earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven,
Now is come salvation, and strength, and the
kingdom of our God, and the power of his
Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast
down, which accused them before our God
day and night.

When Adam came from the Creator's
hand, he bore, in his physical,
mental, and spiritual nature, a
likeness to his Maker. "God created
man in His own image" (Genesis
1:27), and it was His purpose that the
longer man lived the more fully he
should reveal this. He was of lofty
stature and perfect symmetry. His
countenance bore the ruddy tint of
health and glowed with the light of
life and joy. Adam's height was much
greater than that of men who now
inhabit the earth. Eve was somewhat
less in stature; yet her form was
noble, and full of beauty.

Gen 3:8 And they heard the voice of
the LORD God walking in the garden
in the cool of the day: and Adam and
his wife hid themselves from the
presence of the LORD God amongst
the trees of the garden. 3:9 And the
LORD God called unto Adam, and
said unto him, Where [art] thou? 3:10
And he said, I heard thy voice in the
garden, and I was afraid, because I
[was] naked; and I hid myself. 3:11
And he said, Who told thee that thou
[wast] naked? Hast thou eaten of the
tree, whereof I commanded thee that
thou shouldest not eat?Sin has entered the world

But by disobedience this was forfeited. Through sin
the divine likeness was marred, and well-nigh
obliterated. Man's physical powers were weakened,
his mental capacity was lessened, his spiritual
vision dimmed. He had become subject to death. Yet
the race was not left without hope.
By infinite love and mercy the plan of salvation
had been devised, and a life of probation was
granted. To restore in man the image of his Maker,
to bring him back to the perfection in which he
was created, to promote the development of body,
mind, and soul, that the divine purpose in his
creation might be realized--this was to be the
great work of redemption.

2:5 Let this mind be in you,
which was also in Christ
Jesus:
2:6 Who, being in the form
of God, thought it not
robbery to be equal with
God:
2:7 But made himself of no
reputation, and took upon
him the form of a servant,
and was made in the
likeness of men:
2:8 And being found in
fashion as a man, he
humbled himself, and
became obedient unto
death, even the death of the
cross.
PHIL 2

SEARCH YE THE SCRIPTURE……JOHN 5:39
The central theme of the Bible, the theme about which every
other in the whole book clusters, is the redemption plan, the
restoration in the human soul of the image of God. From the first
intimation of hope in the sentence pronounced in Eden to that last
glorious promise of the Revelation, "They shall see His face; and
His name shall be in their foreheads" (Revelation 22:4), the
burden of every book and every passage of the Bible is the
unfolding of this wondrous theme,--man's uplifting,--the power
of God, "which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ." 1 Corinthians 15:57.

THE SANCTUARY ARTICLES
THE GOSPEL IN THE SANCTUARY

Psalms:77:13: Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a
God as our God?
Psalms:73:1: Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a
clean heart.
Psalms:73:2: But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had
well nigh slipped.
Psalms:73:3: For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the
prosperity of the wicked.
Psalms:73:16: When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
Psalms:73:17: Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then
understood I their end.

IMPORTANCE OF THE SANCTUARY
Says the great deceiver: “We must watch those who are calling the
attention of the people to the Sabbath of Jehovah; they will lead
many to see the claims of the law of God; and the same
light which reveals the true Sabbath, reveals also the ministration
of Christ in the heavenly sanctuary, and shows that the last work
for man’s salvation is now going forward. Hold the minds of the
people in darkness till that work is ended, and we shall secure the
world and the church also. {4SP 337.2}

The subject of the sanctuary was the key which unlocked
the mystery of the disappointment of 1844. It opened to view a
complete system of truth, connected and harmonious, showing
that God's hand had directed the great advent movement and
revealing present duty as it brought to light the position and work
of His people… Light from the sanctuary illumined the
past, the present, and the future…{GC 423.1}

WHO TOOK THE KEY
Luke 11:52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away
the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and
them that were entering in ye hindered.
Based on the experiences outlined in the gospels the lawyers
were the theology teachers of the time. The “men of the law.”

As with holy boldness Paul proclaimed the gospel in the synagogue at
Thessalonica, a flood of light was thrown upon the true meaning of the
rites and ceremonies connected with the tabernacle service. He carried the
minds of his hearers beyond the earthly service and the ministry of
Christ in the heavenly sanctuary, to the time when, having completed
His mediatorial work, Christ would come again in power and great glory,
and establish His kingdom on the earth. {AA 228.3}

For three successive Sabbaths Paul preached to the
Thessalonians, reasoning with them from the Scriptures regarding
the life, death, resurrection, office work, and future glory
of Christ, the "Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." Rev 13:8.
He exalted Christ, the proper understanding of whose ministry is
the key that unlocks the Old Testament Scriptures, giving
access to their rich treasures. {AA 229.1}

TYPE AND ANTITYPE
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and
truth came by Jesus Christ. (John 1:17)
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and
the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
(John 14:6)

TYPE AND ANTITYPE
Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark
of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there
for a witness against thee. (Deuteronomy 31:26)
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against
us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way,
nailing it to his cross; (Colossians 2:14 )

A PATTERN OF HEAVENLY THINGS
Who serve unto the example and shadow of
heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when
he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he,
that thou make all things according to the pattern
shewed to thee in the mount. (Hebrews 8:5)

A PATTERN OF HEAVENLY THINGS
Hebrews 8:2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true
tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
Revelation 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in
heaven
Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus,
made an high priest for ever after the order of
Melchisedec. (Hebrews 6:20)

THE PLACE OF UNDERSTANDING
Psalms 119:27 Make me to understand the way of thy
precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
Psalms 73:17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then
understood I their end.
Psalms 77:13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is
so great a God as our God?

SANCTUARY
 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
(Exodus 25:8)
 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS:
for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it
might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they
shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God
with us. (Matthew 1:21-23)

WHY A SANCTUARY
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the
Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not
your own? (1 Corinthians 6:19)
From eternal ages it was God's purpose that every created
being, from the bright and holy seraph to man, should be a temple
for the indwelling of the Creator. Because of sin,
humanity ceased to be a temple for God. {DA 161.1}

THE BRAZEN ALTAR EXODUS 27:1-2

ALTAR OF SACRIFICE
Exodus 27:1-2 And thou shalt make an altar of shittim wood,
five cubits long, and five cubits broad; the altar shall be
foursquare: and the height thereof shall be three cubits. And
thou shalt make the horns of it upon the four corners thereof:
his horns shall be of the same: and thou shalt overlay it with
brass.

Hebrews 13:10-12 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat
which serve the tabernacle. For the bodies of those beasts,
whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high
priest for sin, are burned without the camp. Wherefore Jesus also,
that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered
without the gate.
ALTAR

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by
the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a
living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is
your reasonable service.
Romans 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is
crucified with him, that the body of sin might be
destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
ALTAR

Exodus 38:8 And he made the
laver of brass, and the foot of it of
brass, of the lookingglasses of the
women assembling, which
assembled at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
THE LAVER

PLACEMENT OF LAVER
Exodus 40:7 And thou shalt set the laver between
the tent of the congregation and the altar,
and shalt put water therein.
Exodus 40:30 And he set the laver between the
tent of the congregation and the altar, and
put water there, to wash withal.

THE PORCH
2 Chronicles 3:4 And the porch that was in the front of the house, the
length of it was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits,
and the height was an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within
with pure gold.
2 Chronicles 29:7 Also they have shut up the doors of the porch,
and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt
offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel.

PLACE OF WEEPING
Joel 2:17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep
between the porch and the altar, and let them say,
Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to
reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore
should they say among the people, Where is their God?

MUSIC & IT’S EFFECT ON THE BRAIN
Music is the manifestation of the human spirit, similar
to language. Its greatest practitioners have conveyed
to mankind things not possible to say in any other
language. If we do not want these things to remain
dead treasures, we must do our utmost to make the
greatest possible number of people understand their
idiom.
Zoltán Kodály

HOW YOU HEAR
 Sound enters ears and travels along your ear canal
 It sets off a wave of vibrations from your eardrum to the snail-shaped cochlea in your inner ear
• cochlea
• n noun (plural cochleae ) the spiral cavity of the inner ear containing the organ of Corti, which produces nerve
impulses in response to sound vibrations.
• DERIVATIVES
• cochlear adjective
• ORIGIN
• C16: from Latin, 'snail shell or screw'.
 These vibrations stimulate sensory hair cells in your cochlea
 This generates a nerve impulse which travels along your cochlear nerve to your brain
 The temporal lobe processes the sound

BRAIN RESPONSE TO MUSIC
• Right hemisphere of the brain
• Activated when you hear melodies with a variety of pitch and timbre
• It also “lights up” when people play music by ear.
• Left hemisphere of the brain
• “Lights Up” when you learn to read music, understand key signature and notation, and
follow the sequence of notes.
• Significantly, the brain is activated in the same area that is involved in analytical and mathematical
thinking.
• So you can simultaneously stimulate the right and left hemispheres of
the brain by playing an instrument or by singing

EMOTIONAL RESPONSES TO MUSIC
 The Limbic System is so powerful that emotions can change how you think:
Positive Emotions - love, humor
Facilitate higher order thinking skills
Negative Emotions - anger, fear
Can shift brain to basic survival thinking.
 Music can aid in the production of serotonin, which can make you happy!
Yaaay!

SEROTONIN
• A neurotransmitter involved in the transmission of nerve impulses that helps maintaining joyous feelings
• Released when the brain is “positively shocked” and reduces tension

CLASSICAL MUSIC
 In humans
 Enhances spatial IQ by increasing short and long term memory
 Increases cognitive skills in children
 In animals and plants
 Stimulates brain development
 can result in major brain development
 Melody and Rhythm aid brain organization and abilities

CLASSICAL MUSIC
HUMANS
Music can affect the hormone system
• Affects breathing rate and electrical resistance of the skin
• Pupils dilate, blood pressure and heart rate increase
• Allows the brain to concentrate more easily and assimilate more information in less time
Music simultaneously stimulates the left and right hemispheres of the brain
• Boosts learning and information intake therefore augmenting cognitive skills
• Learning may be increased five-fold
Mozart effect
• Complex music improves performance of spatial-temporal reasoning and short-term memory
• Mozart’s concerto from the “baroque” period with 60 beats per minute affects the amplitude and
frequency of brain waves
• Children who have taken music lessons experience advantages in cognitive skills

• The infamous White Star Line captained by Edward Smith had a few
startling names according to contemporary legends
1. Titanic
2. Ship of Dreams
3. Floating Palace
4. Maiden Voyage
5. Unsinkable Ship
6. Slave Ship
7. Death Ship
• But I ask, what name from the above would you choose to be the correct
name of the ill-fated ship and for what reason?

MARVELOUS GRACE: THE STORY BEHIND TITANIC - On-board of the death ship was John Jacob Astor IV, Isidor Straus, Benjamin
Guggenheim and of course their wives among many others. They had one common thing in common besides dieing on titanic, the people that
opposed the establishment of the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States, died. Who has been able to stand in the way of Central Bank in
United States and not pay a price! These men were coaxed and encouraged to board the floating palace. They had to be destroyed because
the Jesuits knew they would use their wealth and influence to oppose the Federal Reserve Bank as well as the various wars that were being
planned. One and half years after the Titanic, the Federal Reserve Act was passed, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. Two and quarter years after
that, WW1 began, a few years after that, a Graduated Income Tax was setup in America and a few years after that, the Federal Reserve Bank
housed in the United States and heavily-supported the Bolshevik Revolution. The man who had the Titanic built? J.P. Morgan. J.P. Morgan’s
family in the 1850’s in England they were about to go into bankruptcy but they were saved out of bankruptcy by the most powerful financial
institutions in England, the Rothschild family and forever after that, J.P Morgan worked for the Rothschild’s. And if you work for the Rothschilds
ultimately you work for the Jesuits order. J.P. Morgan had a fleet of ships called the White Star Line, titanic was among those ships. He built it,
Jesuit Francis Brown a Jesuit priest boarded the titanic and just before it started to cross the Atlantic Ocean, after taking his pictures, Francis
Brown got off. Edward J. Smith worked for J.P. Morgan, captained his ships on the white star line for 25 years and was the captain of titanic.
He had been going across the north Atlantic for 25 years. The titanic and Edward Smith were warned 8 times that night, you are going too first,
slow down. You are heading into a great area of icebergs, slow down. Why did a veteran of Atlantic Ocean have to be warned 8 times?! He
shouldn’t have had to be warned 1 time, but when somebody has been told that they have a mission to accomplish, they carry it out not matter
how many times they are told not to. Smith did as his masters had told him, SINK IT. The next casualty to the money power was Louis T.
McFadden, he was the head of the Financial Committee in the United States Congress from 1920-1931; (Taken from the book “Vatican
Assassins”). THE WAR CONTINUES, SO WHAT ELSE IS NEW?!

Genesis SDA Praise Team - You Are Holy

Worship With a Bedlam of Noise
It is impossible to estimate too largely the work that the
Lord will accomplish through His proposed vessels in
carrying out His mind and purpose. The things you have
described as taking place in Indiana, the Lord has shown
me would take place just before the close of probation.
Every uncouth thing will be demonstrated. There will be
shouting, with drums, music, and dancing. The senses of
rational beings will become so confused that they cannot
be trusted to make right decisions. And this is called the
moving of the Holy Spirit. {2SM 36.2}

Chap. 3 - The "Holy Flesh" Doctrine
[A FANATICAL TEACHING TERMED "THE DOCTRINE OF HOLY FLESH" WAS STARTED IN 1900 IN INDIANA,
LEADING THE CONFERENCE PRESIDENT AND VARIOUS WORKERS INTO SERIOUS ERROR. THIS THEORY
ALLEGED THAT THOSE WHO FOLLOW THE SAVIOUR MUST HAVE THEIR FALLEN NATURES PERFECTED BY
PASSING THROUGH A "GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE" EXPERIENCE, THUS ACQUIRING A STATE OF PHYSICAL
SINLESSNESS AS AN ESSENTIAL PREPARATION FOR TRANSLATION. EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS REPORT THAT
IN THEIR SERVICES THE FANATICS WORKED UP A HIGH PITCH OF EXCITEMENT BY USE OF MUSICAL
INSTRUMENTS SUCH AS ORGANS, FLUTES, FIDDLES, TAMBOURINES, HORNS, AND EVEN A BIG BASS DRUM.
THEY SOUGHT A PHYSICAL DEMONSTRATION AND SHOUTED AND PRAYED AND SANG UNTIL SOMEONE IN
THE CONGREGATION WOULD FALL, PROSTRATE AND UNCONSCIOUS, FROM HIS SEAT. ONE OR TWO MEN,
WALKING UP AND DOWN THE AISLE FOR THE PURPOSE, WOULD DRAG THE FALLEN PERSON UP ON THE
ROSTRUM. THEN ABOUT A DOZEN INDIVIDUALS WOULD GATHER AROUND THE PROSTRATE BODY, SOME
SINGING, SOME SHOUTING, AND SOME PRAYING, ALL AT THE SAME TIME. WHEN THE SUBJECT REVIVED, HE
WAS COUNTED AMONG THOSE WHO HAD PASSED THROUGH THE GETHSEMANE EXPERIENCE, HAD
OBTAINED HOLY FLESH, AND HAD TRANSLATION FAITH. THEREAFTER, IT WAS ASSERTED, HE COULD NOT
SIN AND WOULD NEVER DIE. ELDERS S. N. HASKELL AND A. J. BREED, TWO OF OUR LEADING
DENOMINATIONAL MINISTERS, WERE SENT TO THE CAMP MEETING HELD AT MUNCIE, INDIANA, FROM
SEPTEMBER 13 TO 23, 1900, TO MEET THIS FANATICISM. THESE DEVELOPMENTS WERE REVEALED TO MRS.
WHITE WHILE SHE WAS IN AUSTRALIA IN JANUARY, 1900, AND SHE BORE TESTIMONY OF WARNING AND
REPROOF AGAINST IT, AS SEEN IN THE TWO FOLLOWING MESSAGES.--COMPILERS.] {2SM 31.1}

Music can be a great power for good; yet we do not make the most of this branch of worship. The singing is generally done from impulse or to meet
special cases, and at other times those who sing are left to blunder along, and the music loses its proper effect upon the minds of those present.
Music should have beauty, pathos, and power. Let the voices be lifted in songs of praise and devotion. CALL TO YOUR AID, IF PRACTICABLE,
INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC, and let the glorious harmony ascend to God, an acceptable offering. --Gospel Workers, p. 325. (1892) (Evangelism, p. 505)
The guitar can be used to provide instrumental music for worship.--Here a plan quite common in Sweden, but new to us, was adopted to supply the
lack of an organ. A lady who occupied a room adjoining the meeting-hall, and who had charge of the building, was a skillful player on the guitar, and
possessed a sweet, musical voice; at public worship she was accustomed to supply the place of both choir and instrument. At our request she played
and sang at the opening of our meetings.--HS 195. {PaM 179.3}
When King Saul realized that he had been rejected of God, and when he felt the force of the words of denunciation that had been addressed to him by
the prophet, he was filled with bitter rebellion and despair. His health was affected by the mental worry in which he indulged, and at times he was
almost insane with the thought of coming disaster to himself and his household. His counselors advised him to seek for the services of a skillful
musician, in the hope that the soothing notes of a sweet instrument might calm his troubled spirit, and turn his thoughts away from his grief. {ST,
August 3, 1888 par. 2}
1Chronicles 15:22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was for song: he instructed about the song, because he was skilful.

CLASSICAL MUSIC
ANIMALS
• The right balance of rhythm and melody help hens lay more eggs, cats to relax, and
cows to produce more milk
• Lab rats showed a natural predisposition towards music
• 2 boxes connected by a tube
• One box had Bach’s Air on the G string
• The other box had rock music
• Most rats chose to go to the box with Bach’s music (even when the music was switched from one side
to another)
• Rats were then placed in a maze, and those that followed the classical music exited the maze quicker
and easier than those that chose the path of rock
• The ones that were frequently exposed to classical music had a physically more developed brain than
those not being exposed

CLASSICAL MUSIC- PLANTS
Plants have shown a more positive response to classical
music than rock
Plants exposed to classical music (~60 bpm) thrived
Plants exposed to rock music withered and died
Plants have no brains, so only the rhythm stimulated them
(not the melody)

CLASSICAL MUSIC
MELODY & RHYTHM
• Melody is the essence that boosts creative reasoning
• Rhythm synchronizes these emotions with vital patterns
• We all have a rhythm, and were exposed to rhythm in the uterus
as well – through heartbeat, breathing, ect

MUSIC A SNARE
• A bedlam of noise shocks the senses and perverts that
which if conducted aright might be a blessing. The
powers of satanic agencies blend with the din and noise
to have a CARNIVAL, and this is termed the Holy Spirit's
working. . . . Those things which have been in the past
will be in the future. Satan will make music a snare by
the way in which it is conducted.--2SM 36, 38 (1900)

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may
prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death:
that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the
Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
NEWNESS OF LIFE

Place where Confession was made
Sin transferred from person to sacrificial victim
Acceptance of sacrifice
Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his
blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
SIGNIFICANCE OF OUTER COURT

Romans 3:24-25 Being justified freely by his grace

SIGNIFICANCE OF OUTER COURT

Preparing Young People for Baptism.--Candidates who have grown to manhood and womanhood
should understand their duty better than do the younger ones; but the pastor of the church has a
duty to do for these souls. Have they wrong habits and practices? It is the duty of the pastor to
have special meetings with them. Give them Bible readings, converse and pray with them, and
plainly show the claims of the Lord upon them. Read to them the teaching of the Bible in regard to
conversion. Show what is the fruit of conversion, the evidence that they love God. Show that true
conversion is a change of heart, of thoughts and purposes. Evil habits are to be given up. The
sins of evil-speaking, of jealousy, of disobedience, are to be put away. A warfare must be waged
against every evil trait of character. Then the believing one can understandingly take to himself
the promise, "Ask, and it shall be given you." Matthew 7:7. --Testimonies, vol. 6, p. 95. (1900) {Ev
311.1}
Examination of Candidates.--The test of discipleship is not brought to bear as closely as it should
be upon those who present themselves for baptism. It should be understood whether they are
simply taking the name of Seventh-day Adventists, or whether they are taking their stand on the
Lord's side, to come out from the world and be separate, and touch not the unclean thing. Before
baptism, there should be a thorough inquiry as to the experience of the candidates. Let this
inquiry be made, not in a cold and distant way, but kindly, tenderly, pointing the new converts to
the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world. Bring the requirements of the gospel to
bear upon the candidates for baptism. {Ev 311.2}

One of the points upon which those newly come to the faith will need instruction is the
subject of dress. Let the new converts be faithfully dealt with. Are they vain in dress? Do
they cherish pride of heart? The idolatry of dress is a moral disease. It must not be
taken over into the new life. In most cases, submission to the gospel requirements will
demand a decided change in the dress. {Ev 312.1}
There should be no carelessness in dress. For Christ's sake, whose witnesses we are,
we should seek to make the best of our appearance. In the tabernacle service, God
specified every detail concerning the garments of those who ministered before Him.
Thus we are taught that He has a preference in regard to the dress of those who serve
Him. Very specific were the directions given in regard to Aaron's robes, for his dress
was symbolic. So the dress of Christ's followers should be symbolic. In all things we are
to be representatives of Him. Our appearance in every respect should be characterized
by neatness, modesty, and purity. But the Word of God gives no sanction to the making
of changes in apparel merely for the sake of fashion,--that we may appear like the world.
Christians are not to decorate the person with costly array or expensive ornaments. {Ev
312.2}

The words of Scripture in regard to dress should be carefully considered.
We need to understand that which the Lord of heaven appreciates in even
the dressing of the body. All who are in earnest in seeking for the grace
of Christ will heed the precious words of instruction inspired by God.
Even the style of the apparel will express the truth of the gospel. {Ev
312.3}
All who study the life of Christ and practice His teachings will become
like Christ. Their influence will be like His. They will reveal soundness of
character. As they walk in the humble path of obedience, doing the will of
God, they exert an influence that tells for the advancement of the cause
of God and the healthful purity of His work. In these thoroughly
converted souls the world is to have a witness to the sanctifying power
of truth upon the human character. {Ev 313.1}

The knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ, expressed in character, is an
exaltation above everything that is esteemed in earth or in heaven. It is the very
highest education. It is the key that opens the portals of the heavenly city. This
knowledge it is God's purpose that all who put on Christ by baptism shall
possess. And it is the duty of God's servants to set before these souls the
privilege of their high calling in Christ Jesus.--Testimonies, vol. 6, pp. 95-97.
(1900) {Ev 313.2}
Judge by the Fruit of the Life.--There is one thing that we have no right to do,
and that is to judge another man's heart or impugn his motives. But when a
person presents himself as a candidate for church membership, we are to
examine the fruit of his life, and leave the responsibility of his motive with
himself. But great care should be exercised in accepting members into the
church; for Satan has his specious devices through which he purposes to
crowd false brethren into the church, through whom he can work more
successfully to weaken the cause of God.--Review and Herald, Jan. 10, 1893.
{Ev 313.3}

THE HOLY AND MOST HOLY
Exodus 26:33-35 And thou shalt hang up the vail under the taches, that
thou mayest bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony: and
the vail shall divide unto you between the holy place and
the most holy. And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark
of the testimony in the most holy place. And thou shalt
set the table without the vail, and the candlestick over
against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and thou
shalt put the table on the north side.

THE TABLE
• Exodus 25:23-24 Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood: two
cubits shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a
cubit and a half the height thereof. And thou shalt overlay it with pure
gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about.
• Exodus 25:30 And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me
alway.
• Exodus 26:35 the table on the north side.

THE “WORK” OF SABBATH
• 1 Samuel 21:6 So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there
was no bread there but the shewbread, that was
