All Articles For Deuteronomy

And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.  Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,  And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;  And coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many. 

And the Lord said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life.  And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.  Exodus 4:19, 20

1. In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying, 2. Angry (was) Jehovah at your fathers with anger. 3. Therefore say thou unto them, thus saith Jehovah of Hosts, Return unto me, saith Jehovah of Hosts, And I will return unto you, saith Jehovah of Hosts.

Article 7. This mystery of his will God discovered to but a small number under the Old Testament; under the New, (the distinction between various peoples having been removed), he reveals himself to many, without any distinction of people.

“Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.” Psalm 37:37  

Article VII. Who teach: That there is in this life no fruit and no consciousness of the unchangeable election to glory, nor any certainty, except that which depends on a changeable and uncertain condition. For not only is it absurd. to speak of an uncertain certainty, but also contrary of the experience of the saints, who by virtue of the consciousness of their election rejoice with the Apostle and praise this favor of God,Eph.

“The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee. For Thou hast delivered my soul froun death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.” Psalm 116:6-8

There are some passages in Scripture which so graphically portray a. given situation in life, in the life of God’s church on earth in days of sin, error and schism, that one hardly needs to reflect upon them and give detailed interpretation.

The preceding chapter reports that a deputation from Bethel came to Jerusalem to enquire whether the fast that had been instituted seventy years previous to commemorate the destruction of the holy city had still to be observed. In replying the prophet rebukes the formalism of the Jews and sets forth the dire consequences of disobedience. He reminds them of the troubles that overwhelmed their apostate fathers. Jehovah had scattered them with a whirlwind among the nations that they knew not.
