THE SANCTUARY DOCTRINE EXPLAINS THE WAY OF SALVATION OF THE GOSPEL (Part 36)
Who Is This Jesus?
History unlearned repeats itself only with fiercer fury and to greater magnitudes with its devastating antitypical results and consequences.
So lest the antitypical “chosen people” of these last days become also deceived—as were the ignorant-but-not-innocent rabble gathered at Calvary, agitated and egged on by the Pharisees, elders, and scribes of the nation—-and similarly get duped and join the threefold union of the final confederacy against Christ through His faithful remnant (Rev. 14: 12), let Christ’s true disciples, beginning in theOld to the New, filled with the Spirit of inspiration, remind us:
“ADAM will tell you. It is ‘the Seed of the woman that shall bruise the serpent’s head.’ Gen 3:15., KJV.
“ABRAHAM will tell you, It is ‘Melchizedek, King of Salem,’ King of peace. Gen.18.; [cf. Heb. 7:1-25].
“JACOB will tell you, He is ‘Shiloh of the tribe of Judah.’ [Gen. 49:10].
“ISAIAH will tell you, ‘Immanuel,’ ‘Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of peace.’ Isa. 7:14, 9:6.
“JEREMIAH will tell you, The ‘Branch of David, the Lord our Righteousness.’ Jer. 23:6.
“DANIEL will tell you, Ha is ‘the Messiah.’ [See the 70-week prophecy of Dan. 9:24-27].
“HOSEA will tell you, He is ‘the Lord God of hosts; the Lord is His memorial.’ Hos. 12:5.
“JOHN THE BAPTIST will tell you, ‘He is The Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.’ John 1:29.
“THE GREAT JEHOVAH has declared from His throne, ‘This is My Beloved Son.’ Matt. 3:17.
“WE, HIS DISCIPLES [if we truly are!] declare, This is JESUS, the MESSIAH, the PRINCE OF LIFE, the REDEEMER of the world.’
And SATAN, “the prince of the powers of darkness,’ acknowledges Him, saying, ‘I know Thee who Thou art, the Holy One of God.’ Mark 1:24.’” (From Desire of Ages by E. G. White, pp. 578, 579, April, 1950, Pacific Press Publishing Asso.
