TWO SONS JESUS BARABBASSON OF THE FATHER

• (RH JAN. 30, 1900).
• When jesus was on earth, satan led the people to
  reject the Son of God, and to choose Barabbas,
  who in character represented Satan, the god of
  this world. Those who trample under their unholy
  feet the law of god have the same spirit as had
  the men who insulted and betrayed jesus. If those
  to whom the light of heaven is presented reject
  it, they reject christ. Matthew 27
