The Family Altar Audio Devotional - Day 36

Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. (Isaiah 28:9-12) 62 Now, my Adventist brother, I want to ask you something. That’s exactly right. The Sabbath, that’s kind of a strange word. The Sabbath really is a Hebrew word which means r-e-s-t, rest. It’s a rest day, Sabbath day; you quit working and so forth. God finished His work, and never did come back no more. Hebrews 4 speaks of it there, He… “For God did rest on the Sabbath day. And He said in a certain place, another time, in David, ‘Today after so long a time when you hear His voice, harden not your heart.’ Then if Jesus would’ve given them another Sabbath, He’d have afterwards spoke of it. But there remaineth a Sabbath keeping to the people of God, for we which have entered into His rest, have ceased from our works like God did from His.” When do we enter into His rest? Now, you with the pencils, turn with me to Isaiah 28:8 to 12. Here’s where you get it, … precept must be upon precept;… line upon line; here a little, and there a little. (Hold fast to that which is good.) For with stammering lips and with other tongues will I speak to this people. “And this is the Sabbath, this is the rest that I said would come. And for all this they would not hear, walk away wagging their heads and so forth.” He said that the seal of the finish of salvation, Luther, justification, Wesley, sanctification; but when the Sabbath come, the real rest day, it would be when “stammering lips and other tongues will I speak to this people,” and this is the finished work. Hallelujah. This is the seal. This is the Sabbath. 63 Don’t you see, it’s the Holy Ghost, brother. That’s when you enter into the finished work. If you’ve just been justified, that’s all right, that’s good. If you’ve been sanctified, that’s good. But when you receive the Holy Ghost, it’s a finished work, and God has completed His plan of salvation, and sealed it with the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Amen. Oh, my. How many believes it? The Holy Ghost in every place in the Bible is a finished work. And God completed His work. 61-0217 - "The Mark Of The Beast And The Seal Of God #2" Rev.
