I rebuke and chasten.—“ ‘My son, despise not thou the chastening of the
Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of Him; for whom the Lord loveth He
chasteneth.’—Prov. 3:11, 12; Heb. 12:5‐8.”—Z. ’96‐44; Job 5:17; Jas. 1:12.
Be zealous, therefore, and repent.—“The lawyer who makes legality his test
instead of justice; the merchant who is satisfied simply to conform to the
code of his trade, whose excuse for any dishonesty is, ‘They all do it’;
the ‘gentleman’ or ‘lady’ who puts good form and manners in the place of
sincerity and kindliness of heart, and politeness in place of courtesy—all
are alike animated by the ecclesiastical conscience. It was this
ecclesiastical mind and this ecclesiastical conscience which crucified
Jesus Christ (Rt. Rev. Chas. D. Williams, Protestant Episcopal Bishop of
Michigan.)”—Z. ’15‐339.
3:20. Behold, I stand at the door.—Some of the Scriptures, which, when
understood in their connections and significance, prove that the Lord’s
Second Advent occurred in the fall of 1874 are as follows: “Speak ye
comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is
accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned; for she hath received of the
Lord’s hand _double_ for all her sins.” (Isa. 40:2; B. 227.) “And first I
will recompense their iniquity and their sin _double_.” (Jer. 16:18; B.
218.) “Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even _today_ do
I declare that I will render _double_ unto thee.” (Zech. 9:12; B. 224.)
“The _fourteenth_ day of the second month, at even, they shall keep it.”
(Num. 9:11; Z. ’98‐68.) “And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled,
behold, there were _twins_.” (Gen. 25:24; Z. ’94‐63.) “And when he was
full _forty_ years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren. And
when _forty_ years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness
of Mount Sinai an angel of the Lord.” “Wonders and signs in the land of
Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the Wilderness _forty_ years.”—Acts
7:23, 30, 36; Z. ’11‐215.
