COVETOUSNESS

• EZEKIEL 2818
• Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the
  multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of
  thy traffick therefore will I bring forth a fire
  from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and
  I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the
  sight of all them that behold thee.
• WHAT HAPPENED AS A RESULT OF LUCIFERS DEFILEMENT
  OF GODS HEAVENLY SANCTUARIES?

EZEKIEL 2816

• By the multitude of thy merchandise they have
  filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou
  hast sinned therefore I will cast thee as
  profane out of the mountain of God and I will
  destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst
  of the stones of fire.

LUCIFERS DEFILEMENT GODS EARTHLY SANCTUARY

• The Lord knew that Adam could not be happy
  without labor, therefore He gave him the pleasant
  employment of dressing the garden. And as he
  tended the things of beauty and usefulness around
  him, he could behold the goodness and glory of
  God in His created works. Adam had themes for
  contemplation in the works of God in Eden, which
  was heaven in miniature. BE LIKE JESUS 229.5

BY WHAT MEANS WERE OUR PATRIARCHAL PARENTS
BEGUILED?

• (GENESIS 31-6.) Satan Powerless to Hypnotize
  Christ
• Satan tempted the first Adam in Eden, and Adam
  reasoned with the enemy, thus giving him the
  advantage. Satan exercised his power of hypnotism
  over Adam and Eve, and this power he strove to
  exercise over Christ. But after the word of
  Scripture was quoted, Satan knew that he had no
  chance of triumphing (Letter 159, 1903).

PERSONA NON GRATA

• GOD DROVE ADAM AND EVE OUT OF THEIR SANCTUARY
  HOME BECAUSE THEY SUCCUMBED TO THE SERPENTS LIE.
  WHILE JEWS BELIEVERS THRUST CHRIST OUT OF THE
  SYNAGOGUE BECAUSE HE SPOKE THE TRUTH.
• LUKE 428, 29
• And all they in the synagogue, when they heard
  these things, were filled with wrath, And rose
  up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him
  unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was
  built, that they might cast him down headlong.

18
WHY DID THIS HAPPENED?

• But although the Pharisees thought so highly of
  themselves, they were really in a worse condition
  than the ones they despised. They next sought out
  the disciples of John the Baptist, and tried to
  set them against the Saviour. Because he
  denounced their hypocrisy, they had resisted his
  words, and had tried to stir up the people
  against him. Now when Jesus came mingling with
  the people, eating and drinking at their tables,
  they accused Him of being a glutton and a
  winebibber. The very ones who made this charge
  were themselves guilty. As God is misrepresented,
  and clothed by Satan with his own attributes, so
  the Lord's messengers were falsified by these
  wicked men. DESIRE OF AGES 276.1

  CHRISTIANS TODAY?

REVELATION 320

• Behold, I stand at the door, and knock if any
  man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come
  in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
• HOW DID JESUS?
• COMMUNION/DWELLING/PREACHING/STANDING
• What is our condition in this fearful and solemn
  time? Alas, what pride is prevailing in the
  church, what hypocrisy, what deception, what love
  of dress, frivolity, and amusement, what desire
  for the supremacy! All these sins have clouded
  the mind, so that eternal things have not been
  discerned.
