  1. Presents Thy Way is in The Sanctuary Part 2 Compiled and Illustrated from The Scriptures & The Spirit of Prophecy October 2015 From “http://www.thelightoftheword.org”

  2. “And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. According to all that I shew thee, [after] the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make [it].” (Exodus 25:8, 9).

  3. In part 1 of the introduction to this series of study on “Thy Way is in The Sanctuary”, we have focused on the question, which was raised by David in the writing of the Psalm on “Who is so great a God as our God?” Through The Testimony of The Word of GOD, we have found in part 1 of the study that no man has seen GOD--The Father, or have heard HIS Voice at anytime. The Holy One, Who is God, He has declared HIM, or has made HIM known to men, because He is The Son of GOD, Who is The Express Image of The Father to be like HIM. For even The Name “Michael” reveals the meaning of His Name, Which is One, Who is like GOD. It is written of Him…

  4. “Whobeingthe brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they” (Hebrews 1:3, 4). For it has been revealed by Ellen G. White of Him, Who is The Express Image of The Father, Who spoke HIS Will to men, and she said of Him that…

  5. “All through the pages of sacred history, where the dealings of God with His chosen people are recorded, there are burning traces of the great I AM. . . . In all these revelations of the divine presence, the glory of God was manifestedthroughChrist. Not alone at the Saviour's advent, but through all the ages after the fall and the promise of redemption, “God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself.” Christ was the foundation and center of the sacrificial system in boththe patriarchal and the Jewish age. Since the sin of our first parents, there has been no direct communication betweenGod and man.

  6. “The Father has given the world into the hands of Christ, that through His mediatorial workHe may redeem man, and vindicate the authority and holiness of the law of God. All the communion between heaven and the fallen race has been throughChrist. It was the Son of God that gave to our first parents the promise of redemption. It was HewhorevealedHimself to the patriarchs. Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses understood the gospel. They looked for salvation through man's Substitute and Surety. . . . (That I Might Know Him, Page 102)

  7. Notice that The Spirit of Prophecy has revealed that, “God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself…” “...there has been no direct communication between God and man.” “All the communion between heaven and the fallen race has been through Christ.” “It was He who revealed Himself to the patriarchs. Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses understood the gospel. They looked for salvation through man's Substitute and Surety. . . .” This evidence that there has been no direct communication between GOD and man confirms The Word of Truth, Whom The Father revealed to Moses as HIS Angel, Whom HE sent to redeem the children of Israel from their bondage of slavery by the Egyptians, and to keep them in The Way, to bring them unto The Place HE has prepared. They were to obey His Voice through Whom The LORD spoke HIS Will. The Angel, Whom The Father has sent in HIS NAME, He was sent as The Father’s Mediator to man, to speak to man on HIS behalf. It is His Voice and Express Glory of The Father that Moses and the children of Israel saw. But they were not drawn to Him as Moses was drawn unto Him. For it is written that…

  8. “…it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that [was] in the camp trembled. And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Mosesspake, and God answered him by a voice. And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses [up] to the top of the mount; and Moses went up” (Exodus 19:16-20).

  9. “And the LORDsaid unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish. And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them. And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it. And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them. So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them” (Exodus 19:21-25).

  10. “And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw [it], they removed, and stood afar off. And they said unto Moses, Speakthou with us, and we will hear: but let not Godspeak with us, lest we die. And Mosessaid unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God [was]. And the LORDsaid unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven” (Exodus 20:18-22).

  11. Notice that all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and they heard the sound of The Trumpet, and they removed, and stood afar off. “And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.” But it was The Son of GOD, Whom they heard; The Angel, Whom HE sent to speak to them HIS Will. The people said unto Moses, “Speak thou with us, and we will hear”. And if they heard Moses, who spoke The Word of GOD to them, then they have heard The Will of The LORD, WHO spoke by HIS Angel--The Holy One, Who sent Moses to speak to them GOD’S Will. Moses became their mediator, who spoke with GOD’S Mediator on their behalf. The LORD spoke by HIS Son, The Word, Who is God, and HE said to Moses, “Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven”. Although The LORD is in heaven, HE is still able to speak from heaven through those, whom HE has sent by HIS Holy One, Who send whomsoever He Will in His Name, as He was sent by The Father in HIS NAME. But Moses was not a God, to be worshipped as a God. Neither were the disciples, who were sent in Christ Name. For they said…

  12. “For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lordhimself shall descend from heaven witha shout, with the voice of the archangel, and withthe trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be withthe Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with thesewords.” (1 Thessalonians 4:15-18).

  13. The Voice of The Trumpet that was heard, which caused the thundering and lightning, and the whole mount to quaked greatly, That Voice is The Voice of The Archangel--The Trump of God, Who’s Name is Michael--The Archangel in Whom is The Father's NAME, because He has inherited all things from His Father, including HIS NAME to be The Son of GOD, Who is like HIM. For The LORD spoke by Him to Moses and said…

  14. “Behold, Isend an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name [is] in him. But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off” (Exodus 23:20-23).

  15. Most Holy Place Holy Place holy Speaking to Moses by The Voice of HIS Angel, The LORD said of Him… an Angel before I send Behold, into the place which I have prepared. thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee Him, Beware of and obey His Voice, Him provoke not; for He will not pardon your transgressions: for MY NAME is in Him. But if thou shall indeed obey His Voice, I speak; then I will be an Enemy and do all that enemies, unto thine and an Adversary adversaries. unto thine For MINE the Amorites, thee, and bring thee in unto Angel shall go before the Hittites, the Perizzites and I will the Canaanites, the Hivites, the Jebusites: cut them off.

  16. Notice the principles that Jesus revealed to His disciples, which the children of Israel were to learn through Moses. Jesus said to them… “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me” (John 13:20). “He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me” (Luke 10:16).

  17. Most Holy Place Holy Place holy The principles Christ Jesus revealed to His disciples, He said to them. He that receiveth you, Verily, verily, I say unto whomsoever send I Me; receiveth and he that receiveth Me sent Me. HIM that receiveth He that heareth you Me; heareth and he that despiseth you despiseth Me; and he that despiseth Me HIM that despiseth sent Me.

  18. Notice that The LORD sent Michael--The Archangel--HIS Son to speak in HIS NAME as HIS Mediator to the children of Israel. But because of His Expressed Glory in revealing The Father, they--the children of Israel said to Moses, “Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.” In essence, the principles of The Way of GOD indicated that, if the children of Israel were to received The Son of GOD--The Only Way to The Father, then they would have received The Father, WHO sent Him. But because they said, “…let not God speak with us…” they requested Moses to be their mediator to speak to GOD’S Mediator on their behalf that they might hear and not die. But speaking of The Son of GOD, Who was sent of GOD, and came to His Own, The Scriptures reveal that…

  19. “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and hisownreceivedhimnot. But as many as receivedhim, to them gave he power to become the sons ofGod, [even] to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” (John 1:10-13).

  20. He Power Most Holy Place Holy Place holy As The Son is revealed in The Scriptures, John said of The Word of GOD... in the world, and the world was made He was by Him and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, own received and His Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave to become the sons of GOD, [even] to them that believe on His Name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, but of God. nor of the will of man,

  21. Notice that The Son of GOD, Who was in the world, He came to His Own people, who were created by Him, but they knew Him not. They knew not that He, Who is The Power of GOD could make them to be sons of GOD. Through Him, The LORD revealed to Moses, the plan HE wanted Moses to share with the children of Israel, that they might follow HIS Will. HE sent HIS Word of Power unto them, to make them what HE desired them to be. But in order for HIS plan to work, GOD also required their cooperation. For it is written that…

  22. “In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they [into] the wilderness of Sinai. For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come [to] the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount. And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and [how] I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.” (Exodus 19:1-4).

  23. “Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth [is] mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom ofpriests, and an holy nation. These [are] the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these wordswhichthe LORD commanded him. And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD” (Exodus 19:5-8).

  24. Most Holy Place Holy Place holy By Moses, The LORD presented a condition by HIS Word to Israel, saying... if ye will obey Voice indeed, MY and keep Covenant, MY then ye shall be a peculiar above all people: Treasure unto ME for all the earth is MINE: And ye shall be unto ME a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These [are] the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

  25. Most Holy Place Holy Place holy After receiving The Words of The Covenant of The LORD to Israel... Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which him. The LORD commanded And all the people answered together, and said, All that The LORD hath Spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of unto The LORD the people

  26. Notice that the condition given by GOD to the house of Israel was that if they were to obey The Voice of HIS Word, Who spoke to them through His servant Moses, to keep HIS Covenant Word, Whom HE sent unto them, to keep them in The Way, to bring them to The Place HE has prepared for them, then they would be a peculiar treasure unto HIM, to be unto HIM, a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation above all people of the earth. In order for them to fulfill The Will of GOD, they were to obey The Voice of HIS Word, and to keep The Covenant of HIS Word, Who would give to them The Power, to fulfill GOD’S Will of being to HIM a peculiar treasure, and a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. To bring about GOD’S Will in the children of Israel, The LORD sent HIS Word of Power, to accomplish HIS Will in them. And although the children of Israel responded by saying, “All that The LORD has spoken we will do”, they could not of themselves fulfill The Will of GOD in them. And neither could we today accomplish The Will of GOD in us, without The Power of HIS Word being in us, to do HIS Will.

  27. Notice that GOD wanted for them to be a peculiar treasure unto HIM, to be a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation above all people of the earth. And just as Mount Sinai did not become holy by itself, then neither could the children of Israel of themselves become a peculiar treasure, or a kingdom of priests, or an holy nation above all people of the earth. To become a peculiar treasure unto GOD, the children of Israel were to obey The Voice of HIS Angel, to receive and keep Him, Who is The Covenant of GOD to all created beings that live by Him. For The Word of GOD is GOD’S Most Valuable Treasure to man. For through one, who has received Him, He has revealed by him, saying…

  28. “Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice [is] to the sons of man. O ye simple, understandwisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart. Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips [shall be] right things. For mymouth shall speaktruth; and wickedness [is] an abomination to mylips. All the words of mymouth [are] in righteousness; [there is] nothing froward or perverse in them. They [are] all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge. Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledgerather than choice gold” (Proverbs 8:4-10).

  29. “For wisdom [is] better than rubies; and all the thingsthat may be desiredare not to be compared to it. I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. The fear of the LORD [is] to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. Counsel [is] mine, and sound wisdom: I [am] understanding; I have strength. By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. By me princes rule, and nobles, [even] all the judges of the earth. Ilove them that loveme; and those that seek me early shall find me” (Proverbs 8:11-17).

  30. “Riches and honour [are] withme; [yea], durable riches and righteousness. Myfruit [is] better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and myrevenuethan choice silver. I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: That I may cause those that loveme to inheritsubstance; and I will fill their treasures” (Proverbs 8:18-21).

  31. Notice that when GOD spoke to Moses, and revealed to him that HE had sent HIS Spirit--Angel, to keep them in The Way, they were to beware of Him, because The LORD’S NAME is in Him. That means that in Him all The Treasures of The Knowledge of GOD is received from GOD by Him, Who is The Wisdom of GOD. And as He said, “I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.” It is in receiving His Fruit--The Fruit of The Spirit, Who is of GOD and following Him that all, who love Him--The Way of Truth will become a peculiar treasure unto GOD. For those, who love GOD’S Word of Wisdom, they will inherit The Substance of Excellent Things of The Knowledge and Wisdom of GOD’S Word. For The Word Testified of The Father and said…

  32. “The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set upfrom everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. When [there were] no depths, I was brought forth; when [there were] no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was Ibrought forth: While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens, I [was] there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:” (Proverbs 8:22-28)

  33. “When he gave to the seahisdecree, that the waters should not pass hiscommandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: Then I was by him, [as] one brought up [with him]: and I was daily [his] delight, rejoicing always before him; Rejoicingin the habitable part of his earth; and mydelights [were] with the sons of men” (Proverbs 8:29-31).

  34. Way, HIS fountains abounding with Water. Most Holy Place Holy Place holy The Word, Who is The Wisdom of GOD to the sons of men, He Testified that... in the beginning of possessed Me The LORD works of old. before HIS I was set up from everlasting, or ever the earth was. from the beginning, When [there were] no depths, I was brought forth; when [there were] no Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

  35. Most Holy Place Holy Place holy The Son of GOD revealed when it was that He was brought forth. He said... While as yet HE had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. prepared the heavens, I [was] there: When HE set a compass upon the face of the depth: when HE established the clouds above: When HE strengthened the fountains of the deep: when HE gave to the sea When HE HIS Decree, that the waters should not pass HIS Commandment: when HE appointed the foundations of the earth: Then I was by HIM, [as] one brought up [with him]:

  36. Most Holy Place Holy Place holy The Son revealed that He was, as One brought up with The Father. He said... and I was daily HIS delight, rejoicing always before HIM; Rejoicing in the habitable part of HIS earth; and My delights were with the sons of men.

  37. Notice that it is Son of GOD, Who declares to us The Truth of The Father, WHO possessed Him in the beginning of HIS Way. The Son of GOD has reveal His Testimony of Truth that He was there, not with THEM, but with HIM before HE created all things. He made it clear that He was, as One, Who was brought up with HIM. Yet, He has revealed twice that He was brought forth from HIM, to be HIS delight always before HIM. And He also revealed that His rejoicing was in the habitable part of HIS earth--the sons of men, which are the highest part of the dust of the world, and His delight. For those, who love GOD’S Word of Wisdom, they will inherit The Substance of The Excellent Things of The Knowledge and Wisdom of GOD. For The Word Testified and said…

  38. “Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed [are they that] keep my ways. Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuseitnot. Blessed [is] the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD. But he that sinneth against mewrongeth his own soul: all they that hateme love death” (Proverbs 8:32-36).

  39. Notice that it is Son of GOD, Who gives life to the habitable part of the earth, which are the highest part of the dust of the world--the sons of men. By Him, The LORD instructed the children of Israel by the mouth of Moses, who represented HIS Word, Who spoke to them by him, and said, “...if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth [is] mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation.” As we have read of The Word of Wisdom, Who said, “...hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed [are they that] keep my ways. Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.” For His Voice is unto the sons of men, and His instruction is better than silver, and His Knowledge is better than gold. By receiving Him, He makes us to be a peculiar treasure unto GOD. And to accomplish The Will of The Father, to make all, who will obey His Voice, to be a kingdom of priest and a holy nation, we are to keep HIS Covenant in our hearts, to follow HIS Way, to accomplish HIS Will. For it is written that…

  40. “…the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take myoffering. And this [is] the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass, And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' [hair], And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood, Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense, Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate. And let them make mea sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. According to all that I shew thee, [after] the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make [it]” (Exodus 25:1-9).

  41. Notice that when the children of Israel responded to The Words of Instruction from GOD by HIS Angel, they said, “All that the LORD hath spoken we will do.” But The Power to do GOD’S Will is found only in HIS Word of Wisdom, Whom we must receive by listening to His Voice. For by His Wisdom and Knowledge, He make us to be GOD’S peculiar treasure above all people of the earth. And by Him, Who is Understanding, He gives Strength to kings that reign, and princes that rule and decree justice, and even to nobles and judges of the earth. But all, who accomplishes these things, they must first receive Him, Who is The Treasure of Life to our souls. For without Him, we can do nothing. And to help the children of Israel to comprehend our God, Who is like GOD, Who does wonders, they were to bring an offering, given from a willing heart unto The LORD, to make a Sanctuary for HIS indwelling among the people. And just as the children of Israel dwelt in tents, The LORD showed Moses The Pattern that all the instruments were to be patterned after. For The LORD’S Tabernacle is more than just a tent wherein HIS PRESENCE dwell. For The Word said, “The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way”. HE does HIS works by The Power of HIS Word in all, who will receive Him--HIS Angel.

  42. What is The Sanctuary that reveals GOD’S Way among the people? The word “Sanctuary” is defined in Hebrew at #04720 miqdash {mik-dawsh'} or miqq@dash. The Sanctuary is a Holy place, a chapel, a hallowed part, or a sacred place. The word “Sanctuary” is also defined in Hebrew at #06942 qadash {kaw-dash'}. It is to consecrate, sanctify, prepare, dedicate, to be hallowed, to be holy, to be sanctified, or to be separate. The word “Sanctuary” is also defined in Hebrew at #06944 qodesh {ko'-desh}. It is holy, sanctuary, (holy, hallowed,...) things, most holiness, dedicated, hallowed, consecrated. It is apartness, holiness, sacredness, separateness. To understand GOD’S Way in The Sanctuary, and what HE has revealed by making a Sanctuary, to dwell in among the people, HE has revealed by His servant Paul, who wrote of HIS Son--The Pattern, and said of Him, Who…

  43. “Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritanceobtained a more excellent name than they.” “Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, [even] thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladnessabovethy fellows” (Hebrews 1:4, 9).

  44. Notice The Pattern of The Son of GOD, Who has revealed The Way for all, who would obey His Voice to follow, to keep The Father’s Commandments. For it is written of Him, Who was born of GOD, that He being made so much better than all the angels, He has by inheritance obtained from His Father a more excellent Name than all the angels. This excellent Name from His Father made Him so much better than they. From His Own Testimony, we saw that He loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore, He being God by birth, The Father has Anointed Him with the oil of gladness above the other angels. Notice what has been revealed of this special Anointing from The Father upon HIS Son. Ellen G. White wrote…

  45. “The great Creator assembled the heavenly host, that he might in the presence of all the angels confer special honor upon his Son. The Son was seated on the throne with the Father, and the heavenly throng of holy angels was gathered around them. The Father then made known that it was ordained by himself that Christ, his Son, should be equal with himself; so that wherever was the presence of his Son, it was ashis own presence. The word of the Son was to be obeyed as readily as the word of the Father. His Sonhe had invested with authority to command the heavenly host. Especially was his Son to work in union withhimself in the anticipated creation of the earth and every living thing that should exist upon the earth.”

  46. “His Son would carry out his will and his purposes, but would do nothing of himself alone. The Father's will would be fulfilled in him.” (Spirit of Prophecy, Volume 1, Page 017)

  47. Notice that wherever was The Presence of The Son of GOD, His Presence was as The Father's OWN PRESENCE, WHO was in Him reconciling the world unto HIMSELF. And as The Son has Testified, “...the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape” (John 5:37). The focus of The Pattern to follow is that by The Anointing of The Father’s PRESENCE, or HIS NAME being in The Christ, He--The Son of GOD, Who is like GOD, He was made much better than the other angels, because of His inheritance from The Father. Following The Pattern, Moses, who was a prince in Egypt, he was called of GOD by HIS Angel in a burning bush, to go unto Pharaoh, to bring forth His people--the children of Israel out of Egypt. By The Power and Spirit of The Son of GOD in him, Moses was anointed above the children of Israel, to lead them in following The Voice of GOD'S Word, Whom HE sent to keep them in The Way, to bring them unto the place HE has prepared. And as it is revealed by The Pattern of The Sanctuary, The children of Israel were called by GOD out of the bondage of Egypt, to be unto HIM a peculiar treasure.

  48. As the highest part of the dust of the world among all people of the earth, the children of Israel were called to be separate, to be sanctified as a hallowed part of the earth above all people, by their obeying The Voice of GOD'S Word, and by their keeping of HIS Commandments, to be unto HIM, a kingdom of priest and a holy nation by His Presence dwelling among them, which is still HIS Will. But it is written of that generation of the children of Israel, and of The Son of GOD, Who came unto them. For John said of Him…

  49. “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and hisownreceivedhimnot. But as many as receivedhim, to them gave he power to become the sons ofGod, [even] to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” (John 1:10-13). As He said by one, who received Him, saying…

  50. “Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed [are they that] keep my ways. Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuseitnot. Blessed [is] the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD. But he that sinneth against mewrongeth his own soul: all they that hateme love death” (Proverbs 8:32-36). “In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended itnot” (John 1:4, 5).
