7 WHAT DOES WINE BIBLE REPRESENT?
- MATTHEW 2626-28
- And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and
blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to
the disciples, and said, Take, eat this is my
body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and
gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it
For this is my blood of the new testament, which
is shed for many for the remission of sins. - JOHN 663
- It is the spirit that quickeneth the flesh
profiteth nothing the words that I speak unto
you, they are spirit, and they are life.
8JOHN 653-58
-
- Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say
unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of
man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood,
hath eternal life and I will raise him up at the
last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my
blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh,
and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in
him. As the living Father hath sent me, and I
live by the Father so he that eateth me, even he
shall live by me. - This is that bread which came down from heaven
not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead
he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
9MATTHEW 917ELLEN G. WHITE, LIFT HIM UP,
CHAPTER 9WINETEACHINGS OF JESUS
BOTTLESTEACHING OF THE PHARISEES
- Neither do men put new wine into old bottles
else the bottles break, and the wine runneth
out, and the bottles perish but they put new
wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
10- SDA BIBLE COMMENTARY, Vol. 5, p. 1089.1
- Jesus knew that He could do the scribes and
Pharisees no good, unless they would empty
themselves of self-importance. He chose new
bottles for His new wine of doctrine, and made
fishermen and unlearned believers the heralds of
His truth to the world. And yet, though His
doctrine seemed new to the people, it was in fact
not a new doctrine, but the revelation of the
significance of that which had been taught from
the beginning. It was His design that His
disciples should take the plain, unadulterated
truth for the guide of their life. They were not
to add to His words, or give a forced meaning to
His utterances. They were not to put a mystical
interpretation upon the plain teaching of the
Scriptures, and draw from theological stores to
build up some man-made theory. -
11WHATS IN BABYLONS CUP?
- REVELATION 173, 4
- ...and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured
beast, full of names of blasphemy, having
seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was
arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked
with gold and precious stones and pearls, having
a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and
filthiness of her fornication.
12WHATS THE FILTHINESS OF BABYLON?
- DEUTERONOMY 725, 26
- The graven images of their gods shall ye burn
with fire thou shalt not desire the silver or
gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee,
lest thou be snared therein for it is an
abomination to the LORD thy God. Neither shalt
thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest
thou be a cursed thing like it but thou shalt
utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor
it for it is a cursed thing. - EXODUS 20 4-6
- Graven images Likeness of anything
- Worship images Abomination
13- ROMANS 123
- And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God
into an image made like to corruptible man, and
to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping
things.
14BABYLONS ABOMINATIONS CONTINUES
- DEUTERONOMY 189-12
- When thou art come into the land which the LORD
thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do
after the abominations of those nations. There
shall not be found among you any one that
maketh his son or his daughter to pass through
the fire, or that useth divination, or an
observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar
spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all
that do these things are an abomination unto
the LORD and because of these abominations the
LORD thy God doth drive them out from before
thee.
15 FALSE TEACHINGS TRADITIONS
- PROVERBS 289
- He that turneth away his ear from hearing the
law, even his prayer shall be abomination. - LUKE 1615
- ...Ye are they which justify yourselves before
men but God knoweth your hearts for that which
is highly esteemed among men is abomination in
the sight of God. - JEREMIAH 1327
- I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings,
the lewdness of thy whoredom, and thine
abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe unto
thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean?
when shall it once be?
16BABYLONS ABOMINATIONS FORNICATION WITH KINGS
- REVELATION 172
- With whom the kings of the earth have committed
fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth
have been made drunk with the wine of her
fornication. Babylons religious system has
Illicit relations with the political system of
this world in order to push its agenda forward. - DEUTERONOMY 143
- Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
-
17BABYLONS ABOMINATIONS GUILTY OF SHEDDING
INNOCENT BLOOD
- EZEKIEL 222
- Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou
judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt show her
all her abominations. Then say thou, Thus saith
the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the
midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh
idols against herself to defile herself.
18- REVELATION 176
- And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of
the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of
Jesus and when I saw her, I wondered with great
admiration.
19BABYLONS ABOMINATIONS SUN WORSHIP
- EZEKIEL 816, 17
- And he brought me into the inner court of the
LORD'S house, and, behold, at the door of the
temple of the LORD, between the porch and the
altar, were about five and twenty men, with
their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and
their faces toward the east and they worshipped
the sun toward the east. Then he said unto me,
Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a
light thing to the house of Judah that they
commit the abominations which they commit here?
20SUN WORSHIP IDOLATRY
- Who made the sun?
- Was it Sun made for worship?
- So what happens if/when you turn that day into a
day of worship? Idolatry - EXODUS 204
- Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image,
or any likeness of any thing that is in
heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath,
or that is in the water under the earth... - Who made the first day of the week?
- Was it First day made for worship?
- So what happens if/when you turn that day into a
day of worship? Idolatry
21ELLEN G. WHITE, THE GREAT CONTROVERSY, p. 389
-
- The Bible declares that before the coming of the
Lord, Satan will work "with all power and signs
and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of
unrighteousness" and they that "received not
the love of the truth, that they might be saved,"
will be left to receive "strong delusion, that
they should believe a lie." 2 THESS. 29-11.
Not until this condition shall be reached, and
the union of the church with the world shall be
fully accomplished, throughout Christendom, will
the fall of Babylon be complete. The change is a
progressive one, and the perfect fulfillment of
Revelation 148 is yet future. -
22ELLEN G.WHITE, TESTIMONIES TO MINISTERS, pp.61, 62
- God has a church upon the earth who are His
chosen people, who keep His commandments. He is
leading, not stray offshoots, not one here and
one there, but a people. ...The gospel net draws
not only good fish, but bad ones as well, and the
Lord only knows who are His. It is our individual
duty to walk humbly with God. We are not to seek
any strange, new message. We are not to think
that the chosen ones of God who are trying to
walk in the light compose Babylon. The fallen
denominational churches are Babylon. Babylon has
been fostering poisonous doctrines. The wine of
error -
23SHE CONTINUES
- This wine of error is made up of false
doctrines, such as the natural immortality of the
soul, the eternal torment of the wicked, the
denial of the pre-existence of Christ prior to
His birth in Bethlehem, and advocating and
exalting the first day of the week above God's
holy and sanctified day. These and kindred errors
are presented to the world by the various
churches, and thus the Scriptures are fulfilled
that say, 'For all nations have drunk of the wine
of the wrath of her fornication.' It is a wrath
which is created by false doctrines, and when
kings and presidents drink this wine of the wrath
of her fornication, they are stirred with anger
against those who will not come into harmony with
the false and satanic heresies which exalt the
false Sabbath, and lead men to trample underfoot
God's memorial....
24- ....But the true leader of all this rebellion is
Satan clothed as an angel of light. Men will be
deceived and will exalt him to the place of God,
and deify him. But Omnipotence will interpose,
and to the apostate churches that unite in the
exaltation of Satan, the sentence will go forth,
'Therefore shall her plagues come in one day,
death, and mourning, and famine and she shall be
utterly burned with fire for strong is the Lord
God who judgeth her.'" ...The object of preaching
is not alone to convey information, not merely to
convince the intellect. The preaching of the word
should appeal to the intellect, and should impart
knowledge, but it should do more than this. The
words of the minister should reach the hearts of
the hearers.
25IS HAVING A CLEAN HEART SUFFICIENT?
- REVELATION 181, 2, 4
- And after these things I saw another angel come
down from heaven, having great power and the
earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried
mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the
great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the
habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul
spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful
bird. And I heard another voice from heaven,
saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be
not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive
not of her plagues.
26GODS END-TIME REMNANT
- EZEKIEL 94
- And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst
of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and
set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that
sigh and that cry for all the abominations that
be done in the midst thereof. - REVELATION 2127
- And there shall in no wise enter into it any
thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh
abomination, or maketh a lie but they which
are written in the Lamb's book of life.
