James 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
[Testimonies Vol. 5 pp 82] God will work a work in our day that but few anticipate. He will raise up and exalt among us those who are taught rather by the unction of His Spirit than by the outward training of scientific institutions. These facilities aren’t to be despised or condemned; they are ordained of God, but they can furnish only the exterior qualifications. God will manifest that He isn’t dependent on learned, self-important mortals.
Therefore, it should be with a humble heart, and a teachable spirit that we must search the Scripture for the answer to that all important question: “What must I do to be saved?” in the context of the latter rain It’s worthy of note that in the conversation between the Ethiopian eunuch and Phillip the Sabbath wasn’t mentioned and the reason for this is that back then, it was not a problem, neither for Jew or Gentile.
The nations of earth back then may or may not have obeyed the fourth commandment, but one thing is certain, there was no dispute about the validity of the Sabbath even by pagan nations, and thus, it was not necessary to feature it prominently, for as they say, it was a no-brainer. But when you fast-forward to our day, you’ll observe an entirely different landscape, where unscriptural doctrines have taken deep root in the contemporary Christianity of the day, and which threaten to cause the Bible prophets to turn in their graves.
Isaiah 24:5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
