Young Disciple Sabbath School Quarterly January 2010 and onward For your records: Always Remember Pre-planning forgiveness Last Generation Commitments |
The evening and morning sacrifices took place by the altar of burnt offerings in the court of the sanctuary and point forward to what Jesus would accomplish on Calvary. Their meaning includes that everything is forgiven and we are to forgive others like that, [10], for God forgives us to win us back, [20], so that we reciprocated the same to our neighbor. It was the gospel, the present truth for Israel up to the time when Jesus died on the cross and for the Christians it was the especial gospel until 1844 and beyond, now in parallel with the gospel that presents Christ's ministry in the Most Holy. Coming to the temple, attending church, means to pre-plan forgiveness of all sins. Pre-planning forgiveness means that we do not nurse anger and admit that people at issue may be innocent, [30]. The problem of the Jews in condemning Christ was that they set themselves up for the transgression of anger and hate which led their fathers to kill the prophets and which led the Jews to kill Christ. They did not recognize their participation in the spirit of the sins of their fathers even since Cain and thus set themselves up for murder, [40]. This is important for the last generation of people on earth not to harbor such a spirit, [50].
