Journey through the Spirit of Prophecy

My "desire of ages" was to make
some "steps to Christ" while building
my "Adventist home" and have a
small garden behind my house
since I had been given "counsels on diet"
to have a "healthful living" while
attending an "education" course by
"the mount of blessing,".

By that time the "heaven" was
about to pour out the rain.
These are my "messages to
young people" that if they participate
in "Christian service" and help in
"conflict and courage",they will see
"God's amazing Grace" and smile
every time they see "letters to young
lovers" delivered to them by
"daughters of God",

And they will overcome
"the great controversy" as they
participate in the "last day events".
Some day, these "acts of the
Apostles" , "a call to stand apart" in
this “confrontation" will require us to do
"country living" like our "patriarchs
and prophets" who listened to their
"prophets and kings"

I will tell you more about
"a sanctified life" when I write
in my "publishing ministry" in
my "retirement years". These are
just "selected messages", a
"testimony treasure" about
"the story of Jesus" who had
a "true revival" as I stated in my
"early writings"
"Maranatha".

Seventh-Day Adventist Confession of Fath

I believe in a loving God; the Father, in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Spirit; three separate eternal persons, yet one in character and purpose. Matthew 28:19, 20; John 17:21, 22.

I personally accept the death of Jesus Christ on Calvary as a complete atonement for my sins. 1Corinthians 15:3.

I can come directly to a merciful Savior in repentance and confession of sin. I have joy fully received His gracious pardon. Christ is now my High Priest in the courts of heaven. All the benefits of His priestly ministry are mine, as I come to Him by faith. Acts 3:19; 1 John 1:19; Hebrews 8:1, 2.

I believe that the Bible is God’s inspired Word to me, and that it constitutes my only rule of faith and practice for me as a Christian. John 5:39; 1 Timothy 3.

I have determined to feed my new spiritual nature by daily prayer, study of His Word, and sharing my faith with others. Psalm 55:17; Matthew 4:4; Mark 5:19.

I believe that the purpose of redemption is to cure the moral disease of sin. Sin is the willful violation of God¡¦s law. I believe the Ten Commandments express the unchangeable will of God. This law does not save me: it only informs. I, of myself, cannot obey; but if I fully surrender to the Holy Spirit, it is my joyous privilege to be kept from falling and to go and sin no more. Hebrews 9:26; 1 John 3:4; John 1:29; Matthew 5:17-19; Romans 3:20: John 15:5; Jude 24; John 8:11.

I hold that God, in the person of His Son, created this world, and al that is in it. Christ established the Sabbath at the beginning of the world as the memorial of His power. He Himself kept it in both creation and redemption. In harmony with the will of our unchanging Lord I wish to observe the Sabbath according to His divine example. Genesis 2:1-3; John 1:1-3, 10; Luke 23:52; Luke 24:1; Mark 2:27, 28; Exodus 20:8-11.

I look forward to the glorious soon return of Jesus, the only hope of the world. John 14:1-3; Matthew 24:33; Titus 2:13; Revelation 1:7.

I rejoice that death has been conquered by my risen Savior. I believe that all men sleep in death, awaiting one of the two resurrections. Believers are raised to immortality at His second coming. This is the first resurrection. The unsaved are raised at the end of the Millennium. This is the second resurrection. It is then that God purges the earth with fire. The lost die again in that fire.

This is the second death which is eternal. Matthew 28:6; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1Corinthians 15:51-55; Acts 24:15; John 5:28-29; Revelation 20:5, 6.

I believe God’s promise to restore our world to the beauty of Eden. This earth cleansed by fire will be my eternal home. 2 Peter 3:9-13; Isaiah 65:17-25; Revelation 21:1; Matthew 5:5.

I recognize the justice of God that those who reject the Savior’s appearing will not be eternally tortured. The wages of sin is eternal death of both soul and body. Romans 6:23; John 3:16; Revelation 20:9; Malachi 4:1-3; Matthew 13:40; Matthew 10:28; James 5:20.

I will remember Christ as I handle the money He gives me, returning to Him His tithe, the tenth of my increase, and giving offerings as He prospers me. Malachi 3:8-10; Matthew 23:33; 1Corinthians 9:13, 14; 2 Corinthians 9:7.

I will care for my body as the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19, 20) endeavoring to eat and drink in a healthful manner to the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31) and to abstain from alcohol, tobacco, habit forming drugs, and such foods as God declares to be harmful. Romans 12:1; Proverbs 23:29-32; 1 Corinthians 3:15, 17; Leviticus 11; Deuteronomy 14.

I wish to represent the Savior in my appearance by modesty and simplicity in dress, not attaching my affection to ornaments as warned against in His Holy Word. Genesis 35:1-5;Exodus 33:4-6; 1 Timothy 2:9, 10; 1 Peter 3:3, 4; Isaiah 3:16-23.

I honor Christ in my behavior, in the selection of my reading, my words in conversation, and the choice of associates. I wish to be separate from the sinful practices of the world. 1 John 2:15; James 1:27; James 4:4.

I take part joyfully in the Lord¡¦s Supper and in the Ordinance of Humility. John 13:12-15; 1 Corinthians 11:23-30.

I believe that all the gifts of the Holy Spirit are to remain in the Church until the coming of the Lord. Especially is the Gift of Prophecy to be one of the identifying marks of the remnant church. 1 Corinthians 1:7; 1 Corinthians 12:27-31; Ephesians 4:8-14; Revelation 12:17; Revelation 19:10; Joel 2:28, 29.

I look forward to the fellowship of worship. I accept the counsel: “not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together as the manner of some is”(Hebrews 10:25). I count it all joy to come to God’s house every Sabbath day according to His eternal plan.

I acknowledge that God is no respecter of persons; in every generation God has had a message for the world. Noah, Moses, the Apostles and Prophets each gave a special message from God in their time. God’s last and remnant church is clearly described as, “keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” (Revelation 12:17 and Revelation 14:12)… This is the final message of God to the world just before the coming of Jesus. (Revelation14:14). As God¡¦s witness, I wish to joyfully accept this last message.

I wish to seal the full acceptance of the Savior¡¦s provision for my redemption by immersion in baptism. In this way my total dedication to God is properly symbolized. Romans 6:3-5; Matthew 3:13-16; Acts 8:36-38; Matthew 28:19, 20.

I want this very day to give my life to the Savior’s hand, to live the Christian way in harmony with His gospel, in preparation for eternal life in His coming kingdom, and to become a part of His remnant people the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

The Perfect Number Seven

Seven is a number most complete;
Seven years compose the jubilee;
Seven days compose the Christian week;
Seven attributes the Deity.


Seven Orbs we say revolve the sun;
Seven colors do the rainbow grace;
Seven wonders in the world were done;
Seven legions were of Mary’s race.


Seven lamps within the golden bowl;
Seven pipes did shine from every one;
Seven eyes to Joshua shown on stone;
Seven eyes with Zerubabel plumb.

Seven priests round Jericho compassed,
Seven trumpet of ram’s horns to sound,
Seven days did bring a certain blast,
Seven brought the walls all to the ground.


Seven churches ancient Asia graced;
Seven candlesticks therein were placed;
Seven seals were once upon the book,
Seven were by Judah’s lion broke.


Seven horns were seen upon the Lamb;
Seven were the heads the dragon bore;
Seven angels flew at God’s command,
Seven phials of his wrath to pour.


Seven times with oil the sprinkling priests,
Sprinkled before the throne of God;
Seven times that finger, type of Christ,
Sprinkled the mercy seat with blood.

Praying to Forget

By Jade-lee Herman


For he shall not much remember the days of his life; *because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.~ Ecclesiastes 5:20 KJV

*NEW KJV – “because God keeps him Busy with the joy of his heart.”

The question has been posed is, “Is praying to forget, good?”

The follow up question would be, “Is God allowing our brains to forget, a direct answer to this prayer?”

Is forgetting good?

Neurologists have concluded that we, humans, use a maximum of 10% of our brains.
Now psychology suggests that Selective/ motivated forgetting is a defence mechanism (theorized) in which people may forget unwanted harmful memories, either consciously or unconsciously. Also known as suppressing and repressing memories.

Repression is defined as: unconsciously

Suppression: is making the decision to forget.

Because most people find themselves in a deep state of depression upon the resurfacing of these memories, this makes repressed memories dangerous. Some of these people may require institutionalisation. Now these memories may resurface at any time. The mind is unfortunately not able to survive the emotional trauma of these suppressed incidents. Leading to suicide and self loathing.

Now many of us do not repress our memories, but technically you would not know it until your psychologist has informed you thusly.
Suppressing memories can only lead to more heart ache, should the memory return, you are still to have to deal with it emotionally. Ecclesiastes 12:14 “For God will bring every deed into judgement, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.” NIV

And worse still if it is a result of our own actions, we can be sure that it has not been forgotten by God. UNLESS…

1. We depend on Him fully.

We need to search God’s word for comfort just as we would call a friend. You may be sick or hurting because of your own actions. Just as it is in fire’s nature to burn, so it is in sin’s nature to destroy us.

Psalm 23:4 “…your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

Job 11:13 -17 “Yet if you devote your heart to him and stretch out your hands to him, if you put away the sin that is in your hand and allow no evil to dwell in your tent, then you will lift up your face without shame; you will stand firm and without fear. You will surely forget your trouble, recalling it as only waters gone by. Life will be brighter than noonday, and darkness will become like morning.”
Lamentations 3:40 “Let us search and try our ways and turn again to our God.”

2. We accept that forgetting is not God’s will for us

By allowing the belief that suppressing memories is helpful and good, the devil has removed the need for us to remember and repent.

And is that not his main aim? To render the need for Salvation or a law of God useless? He is spreading the message that we don’t need forgiveness, all we need to do is to forget?

Memories are never truly lost; therapy or a photograph may lead to the remembrance. But did God create this defence mechanism? Forgetting is usually due to the absence of peace. And if God offers peace that surpasses all understanding, how could He be in favour of suppressing memories?
The devil has slyly rationalised the need of our memory suppression. He has devised a way for people to think they have found a semblance of peace by in fact destroying our mind or our sanity.

The most common cause for institutionalised depressed patients’ depression; is the resurfacing of repressed and suppressed hurtful memories.
Many of us suppress memories. We consciously decide to forget the pain that sin has inflicted on us. Pain like a broken heart, the memory of a spouse’s infidelity, abuse in all its forms, phone numbers, lyrics to a song etc.

Take note; search within your own experiences the things you wish to forget. Of what are they a result of? Sin? Either your own transgression or someone else’s. Some may pray to forget, because they know that the God they serve is compassionate. Somehow we have concluded that forgetting our pain is something that God has permitted us to do. We assume that which we do not remember no longer exists. Ecclesiastes 1:15 “… what is lacking cannot be counted” NIV

Let the desire to forget no longer linger within us.

God said, Isaiah 43:25, “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins. “ NKJV
NIV 26 “Review the past for me, let us argue the matter together; state the case for your innocence.”

We should pray to remember that which hurts us. So we may forgive and ask for forgiveness where it is due.
Genesis 1:31 “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.” NIV

Let us live happily and peacefully, by accepting Jesus as our saviour and comfort. Let us return to our first love. A love that will never break our hearts and forgives and forgets accordingly. Through Him we can overcomes our fear, grief and sin …. So that we may be with Him in paradise.

Revelations 2:7 NKJV
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.”

ReGaining Eden Part 2

Let me touch a very sensitive subject "meat-eating".This is important because before we see God greater reforms should be seen among God's people.

"There is no evidence of genuine repentance unless it works reformation."GC,p506

Let me start from Eden since we are from eden to eden.

"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."--Genesis 1:29

"It was not in the plan of God in creation that the life of any of His creatures should be taken.Death, in man or beast, wherever it might exist,came in consequence of sin,and this whole mammoth custom of taking the life of God's creatures to sustain human life,is simply the fruit of transgression.Had our first parents maintained their Eden innocence,had the curse never fallen upon man or beast,the earth would never have been stained with a drop of blood;the almost universal custom of flesh-eating, with its attendant pain and death, would never have been known. The Creator, in definately stating what should constitute food for man, did not mention flesh." "C.T.B.H p169.

"Even in this life it is not for our good to depart from the will of our Father in heaven. When we learn the power of His word, we shall not follow the suggestions of Satan in order to obtain food or to save our lives. Our only questions will be, What is God's command? and what His promise? Knowing these, we shall obey the one, and trust the other."DA 121.2.

In Numbers chapter 11-We see God tried to make His people vegetarians when He took them out of Egypt.It is important that we study the history of the children of Israel so that we may not repeat the same mistakes.Consider these qoutes:

"Satan's snares are laid for us as verily as they were laid for the children of Israel just prior to their entrance into the land of Canaan. We are repeating the history of that people."5T,p160

"I have seen that self-glorification was becoming common among Seventh-day Adventists and that unless the pride of man should be abased and Christ exalted we should, as a people, be in no better condition to receive Christ at His second advent than were the Jewish people to receive Him at His first advent."5T ,p727.3.

Let me look closely what happened....

"And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?"--Numbers 11:4

"And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust."--Psalm 78:18.

Then Moses sayed "Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat."--Numbers 11:13.

Then the Lord gave them their own desire--"And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth."Number 11:31.

NB-"And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted."Numbers 11:33,34.

Pork eaters be reminded--"They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD."--Isaiah 66:17

Paul says--"Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted...Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come."1 Corinthians 10:6,11

" Our habits of eating and drinking show whether we are of the world or among the number whom the Lord by His mighty cleaver of truth has separated from the world. These are His peculiar people, zealous of good works. God has spoken in His word. In the case of Daniel and his three companions there are sermons upon health reform. God has spoken in the history of the children of Israel, from whom for their good He sought to withhold a flesh diet. He fed them with bread from heaven; "man did eat angel's food." But they encouraged their earthly appetite; and the more they centered their thoughts upon the fleshpots of Egypt, the more they hated the food which God gave them to keep them in health physically, mentally, and morally. They longed for the fleshpots, and in this they did just as many in our own time have done. "6T ,p 372.2

"Satan, the author of disease and misery, will approach God's people where he can have the greatest success. He has controlled the appetite in a great measure from the time of his successful experiment with Eve, in leading her to eat the forbidden fruit. He came with his temptations first to the mixed multitude, the beiliving Egyptians, and stirred them up to seditions murmurings.They would not be content with the healthful food which God had provided for them. Their depraved appetite craved a greater variety, especially flesh-meats.This murmuring soon infected nearly the whole body of the people."SOP. Vol 1,p281.

Lets here what the prophet says now........

"The Lord intends to bring His people back to live upon simple fruits, vegetables, and grains. He led the children of Israel into the wilderness where they could not get a flesh diet; and He gave
them bread from heaven. Man did eat angel's food. But they craved the flesh pots of Egypt, and mourned and cried for flesh, notwithstanding that the Lord had proposed that if they would
submit to His will, He would carry them into the land of Canaan, and establish them there, a pure, holy, happy people, and there would not be a feeble one in all their habitations, for He would
take away all sickness from among them. But although they had a plain 'thus saith the Lord,' they mourned, and wept, and murmured, and complained, it displeased the Lord;..." SpM45-46

"Again and again I have been shown that God is trying to lead us back, step by step, to His original design,-- that man should subsist upon the natural products of the earth. Vegetables, fruits, and grains should compose our diet. Not an ounce of flesh meat should enter our stomachs. The eating of flesh is unnatural. We are to return to God's original purpose in the creation of man." Counsels on Diet and Foods, pg. 380.

"Meat eating...has always been a curse to the human family..., and our only safety now is in leaving meat entirely alone." Counsels on Diet and Foods,p 412

"Will the people who are seeking to become holy, pure, refined, that they may be introduced into the society of heavenly angels, continue to take the life of God's creatures, and enjoy their flesh as a luxury? From what the Lord has shown me, this order of things will be changed, and God's peculiar people will exercise temperance in all things." CTBH 48.2.

"...we do not hesitate to say that flesh meat is not necessary for health or strength. If used it is because a depraved appetite craves it. Its use excites the animal propensities to increased activity and strengthens the animal passions. When the animal propensities are increased, the intellectual and moral powers are decreased. The use of the flesh of animals tends to cause a grossness of body and benumbs the fine sensibilities of the mind."2T p63.2.

“If ever there was a time when the diet should be of the most simple kind, it is now. Meat should not be placed before our children. Its influence is to excite and strengthen the lower passions, and has a tendency to deaden the moral powers. Grains and fruits prepared free from grease, and in as natural a condition as possible, should be the food for the tables of all who claim to be preparing for translation to heaven.” 2T 352

"Those who believe present truth...should refuse to eat flesh meat." EV 265

"It has been clearly presented to me that God's people are to take a firm stand against meat eating." CDF 383

"Those who use flesh meat disregard all the warnings that God has given us concerning this question. They have no evidence they are walking in safe paths." Ibid., p. 383.

"Among those who are waiting for the coming of the Lord, meat eating will eventually be
done away; flesh will cease to form a part of their diet. We should ever keep this end in view, and endeavour to work steadily toward it." Counsels on Health, p. 450.

"Those who are in a position where it is possible to secure a vegetarian diet, but who choose to follow their own preferences in this matter, eating and drinking as they please, will gradually
grow careless of the instruction the Lord has given regarding other phases of the present truth and will lose their perception of what is truth." Testimonies, Vol. 9, pp. 156, 157.

"Many who are now only half converted on the question of meat eating will go from God's people, to walk no more with them .... Far better give up the name of Christian than make a profession and
at the same time indulge appetites which strengthen unholy passions .... [God] calls for decided reformation." Counsels on Health,pp. 575-579.

"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are."--1 Corinthians 3:16,17.

"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."--1 Corinthians 6:19,20 .

"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."1 Corinthians 10:31.

May God help us to live up to the light He has given us up to the present.

God Bless.

ReGaining Eden Part 1

How did we lose Eden and how can will we gain it back?..."And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."Genesis 3:6

Listen to what the prophet of God says...

""Adam and Eve fell through intemperate appetite. Christ came and withstood the fiercest temptation of Satan, and, in behalf of the race, overcame appetite, showing that man may overcome. As Adam fell through appetite, and lost blissful Eden, the children of Adam may, through Christ, overcome appetite, and through temperance in all things regain Eden."Counsels on Diet and Foods ,p70

"As our first parents lost Eden through the indulgence of appetite, our only hope of regaining Eden is through the firm denial of appetite and passion."3T ,p491

Christ came to redeem us on the point on which Adam fell...

"Intemperance lies at the foundation of all the moral evils known to man. Christ began the work of redemption just where the ruin began. The fall of our first parents was caused by the indulgence of appetite. In redemption, the denial of appetite is the first work of Christ."In Heavenly Places, p194

"One of the temptations that overcame our first parents was the temptation to indulge appetite. By this long fast Christ was to show that appetite can be brought under control."The Story of Jesus,p45

Christ began this work of redemption by reforming the physical habits of man.--3T. p. 486.

God expects nothing from us but self-control...

"One of the strongest temptations that man has to meet is upon the point of appetite."3T p485.

"God demands that the appetites be cleansed, and that self-denial be practiced in regard to those things which are not good. This is a work that will have to be done before His people can stand before Him a perfected people."9T 153.

"Every true Christian will have control of his appetite and passions. Unless he is free from the bondage and slavery of appetite he cannot be a true, obedient servant of Christ. It is the indulgence of appetite and passion which makes the truth of none effect upon the heart. It is impossible for the spirit and power of the truth to sanctify a man, soul, body, and spirit, when he is controlled by appetite and passion."3T p569

Eating merely to please the appetite is a transgression of nature's laws.-- U. T., Aug. 30, 1896

'The controlling power of appetite will prove the ruin of thousands, when, if they had conquered on this point, then they would have had the moral power to gain the victory over every other temptation of Satan. But those who are slaves to appetite will fail in perfecting Christian character."3T ,p491

"I then saw that the appetite must be denied, that rich food should not be prepared, and that which is spent upon the appetite should be put into the treasury of God. It would tell there and those that denied themselves would lay up a reward in heaven. I saw that God was purifying His people."3SM ,p274

"It is impossible for those who indulge the appetite to attain to Christian perfection.--2T, p. 400.

"We repeat, intemperance commences at our tables. The appetite is indulged until its indulgence becomes second nature. By the use of tea and coffee an appetite is formed for tobacco, and this encourages the appetite for liquors."CH,p607.

"When we realize the requirements of God, we shall see that He requires us to be temperate in all things. The end of our creation is to glorify God in our bodies and spirits which are His. How can we do this when we indulge the appetite to the injury of the physical and moral powers? God requires that we present our bodies a living sacrifice. Then the duty is enjoined on us to reserve that body in the very best condition of health, that we may comply with His requirements. Whether, therefore, ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." CD ,p155

"...one of the highest attainments in the Christian life is to control appetite, and that, without this victory,all hope of heaven is vain." --James White,Christian Temperance 206



It is possible brethren....

"But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself."Daniel 1:8.

JUST FOR FUN-In Daniel 6 maybe the lions purposed in their hearts that they will not defile themselves with the body of a vegetarian man :).

If lions were able to control their appetites ,sure we can.

"Christ fought the battle upon the point of appetite, and came off victorious; and we also can conquer through strength derived from Him. Who will enter in through the gates into the city?--Not those who declare that they cannot break the force of appetite. Christ has resisted the power of him who would hold us in bondage; though weakened by His long fast of forty days, He withstood temptation, and proved by this act that our cases are not hopeless. I know that we cannot obtain the victory alone; and how thankful we should be that we have a living Saviour, who is ready and willing to aid us!"CD, p169

"A pure and noble life, a life of victory over appetite and lust, is possible to every one who will unite his weak, wavering human will to the omnipotent, unwavering will of God."CD,p170.

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. "--Philippians 4:13.

God Bless ,As we prepare to meet our Lord in Peace.

It's Jewish

When we present God's holy law,
And arguments from scripture draw;
Objectors say, to pick a flaw,
"It's Jewish."

Though at the first Jehovah blessed
And sanctified HIS day of rest;
The same belief is still expressed -
"It's Jewish."

Though with the world this rest began,
And thence through all the scriptures ran,
And Jesus said 'twas made for man -
"It's Jewish."

Though not with Jewish rites, which passed,
But with the moral law 'twas classed
Which must endure while time shall last -
"It's Jewish."

Though the disciples, Luke and Paul,
Continue still this rest to call
The "Sabbath day," this answers all -
"It's Jewish."

The gospel teachers' plain expression,
That "Sin is of the law transgression,"
Seems not to make the least impression -
"It's Jewish."

They love the rest of man's invention,
But if Jehovah's day we mention,
This puts an end to all contention -
"It's Jewish."

O ye who thus Gods day abuse,
Simply because twas kept by Jews,
The Saviour, too, you must refuse -
He's Jewish.

Thus the apostles, too, must fall;
For Andrew, Peter, James, and Paul,
And Thomas, Matthew, John, and all
Were Jewish.

But when old Earth shall pass away,
And be renewed the Sabbath day
Honored by all - one then will say,
"Its Jewish."

And while Eternitys glad days
Roll on and on with ceaseless rays,
The theme will be Jehovah's praise,
And that in universal lays -
Not Jewish.
