inside the Book of Hebrews 7-9. That is what all our Pioneers did. ---O. L. Crosier
placed Ephesians 1:7 together with his discussion of the Sanctuary in Heaven in
January 17,n1846 (Day Star Extra). ---J. N. Andrews
on July 7, 1853 (RH) connected Colossians
1:14 and Ephesians 1:7 to Hebrews 9:15. ---W. W.
Prescott said in February 17, 1895 in RH
“Now the lesson that God would teach his people in the sanctuary was the
forgiveness, the taking away of sin. So we read in Ephesians 1:7….” ---“Through His
blood” is a sacrificial Lamb of God of Isaiah 53 jargon that is strongly connected
to the Sanctuary services before the cross and the Heavenly Meditorial Work of
Christ on our behalf discussed fully by Paul in Hebrews 7-10. See Paul
clarifying Ephesians 1:7 in Hebrews 9:26. “For then must He often have suffered
since the foundation of the world but now once in the end of the World has He
appeared to put away sin by the Sacrifice of Himself”. ---When the door
of Mercy is going to close, the expression in Ephesians 1:10 “that in the
economy (oikonomian) of the fullness (pleromatos) of times” everything is going
to be given unto Christ as Uriah Smith also interpreted from Psalm 110 of which
the Father (Lord) said to Christ (Lord) that He will finally give everything to
him (mentioning Ephesians 1: 20-23 on February 10, 1885 in RH. ---Be very
careful of not making humans too sinful that they cannot keep the law with the
help of the Holy Spirit. --That is what
Augustine did and the pseudepigrapha on the basis of Greek philosophers like
Plato and Euripides and Augustine’s own feelings. ---Christ came
to show us through His example that we can also keep the Law after conversion.
After submission of our complete self and all sins that we have accumulated
through the years. Right? ---Humans are so
sinful that they cannot save themselves. But they are not so sinful that the
Holy Spirit cannot transform them to perfection. Oops! You say. ---No it is
completely biblical. Said a few times by nearly all apostles and Jesus Himself.
---So do not use
Bertrand Russell’s relativism and agnostic denial of perfection of anyone as a
template to be put over the Bible and perfection texts suppressed or squashed
or hidden by those observations. ---Atheists and
agnostics and Greek philosophy was wrong. There is a human potential to be
reached. A goal to go towards and an Example to follow. ---There is a
law to be kept and that fully and completely. ---Unto
salvation? No, not because of salvation but unto honor of Jesus Who did show us how
to. Right? ---But what
about my smoking habit? Quit. Dance on your cigarette right now. Make an offering
to God. Burn all of them. Pray and laugh while you do it. ---Cold water
shower and hot water relay until all nicotine is out of your system. ---Then after
sweat, tears, agony and prayer, the victory arrived! ---Many of my
friends and relatives did it. You too. When? Right now.
