“Let Him That Thinketh He Standeth Take Heed Lest He Fall”Idolatry of the Children of Israel“Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; and did all eat the same spiritual meat; and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.” The experience of Israel, referred to in the above words by the apostle, and as recorded in the one hundred fifth and one hundred sixth psalms, contains lessons of warning that the people of God in these last days especially need to study. I urge that these chapters be read at least once every week. {TM 98.2}

Israels børns afgudsdyrkelse
»Jeg vil nemlig ikke, brødre, at I skal være uvidende om, at vore fædre alle var under skyen og alle gik gennem havet og alle blev døbte til Moses i skyen og i havet og alle spiste den samme åndelige mad og alle drak den samme åndelige drik, thi de drak af en åndelig klippe, som fulgte med; og den klippe var Kristus. Dog, de fleste af dem fandt Gud ikke behag i; de blev jo slået ned i ørknen.« Israels erfaring, henviser til de ovenstående ord fra apostelen, og står i den et hundrede og femte og et hundrede og sjette salme, indeholder advarsels lærdomme som Guds folk specielt i disse sidste dage behøver at studere. Jeg beder indtrængende (99) at disse kapitler bliver læst af hver enkelt hver uge.
