Mp3 John Thiel – The Gathering of the Jewels Conference

In the course of our studies, we have now reached the mind exercise of the gathering of the jewels that have been made up by the true gospel activity.

2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

Apostle Paul wrote that in his day. Through the gospel of Jesus Christ, the treasure is delivered into the hearts of all who open their hearts to the gospel. We have the treasure of Jesus Christ, the pearl of great price in earthen vessels. Never forget that. You will always be struggling with your earthen vessel but your heart, your mind is illuminated so that in our darkened earthen vessel in our darkened experiences, the light is shining. God can bring light out of darkness, and He has shined into our dark hearts, the precious treasure of Jesus the pearl. As we studied, we know what this now means. The question was, how did God deliver this treasure to humanity? How?

Psalm 105:7 He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. 9 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;

I want us to spend a little quick moment in reference to this covenant by which He has placed the treasure in our hearts.

Jeremiah 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:  33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

That covenant that we just read about in Psalm 105, He will remember that He delivered to a thousand generations. What is that covenant? It is the covenant of installing into our hearts His law, the law that was written by His finger on tables of stone which ushered in the covenant that He made with Israel and in the wilderness that covenant was no longer valuable because they broke that covenant although He was a husband unto them. The covenant that He makes with the house of Israel, that is the one in Psalm 105. It is the one where He says I will put my law in their inward parts writing it in their hearts. Notice this is connected, this covenant is actually connected according to Ezekiel 36 with the gathering of His people, of His jewels.

Ezekiel 36:24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. 25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. 26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. 28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

We want to realise what He is saying. What land was Abraham looking for? What city was he looking for? The land and the city which is the builder and the maker of whom was God. He was looking for that heavenly land and that’s the land to which the Lord wants to bring us according to verse 28. But to get us there, He has to put His law according to the covenant into their inward parts. He was to enlighten our hearts and take away the stony heart and place in it the heart of flesh and cause us to walk in His statutes and keep His judgments. Read Hebrews 8 that we might understand what this covenant of writing the law in our hearts actually embraces.

Hebrews 8:1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum. We have such an high priest who is set on the right hand of the throne of the majesty and in the heavens. We have such a high priest.

Hebrews 8:6 But now this high priest, hath he obtained a more excellent ministry by how much also he is a mediator of a “better covenant” which was established upon better promises.

What He is actually doing here looking at that better covenant, better promises. He’s talking about what is written in Jeremiah 31:33 where it says not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers but in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel.

What we read in Jeremiah; He’s just referring to Jeremiah.

Hebrews 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

What Apostle Paul is saying here in Hebrews is that that covenant in which the law is placed into the heart is everything to do with the work of Jesus Christ as our High Priest. Taking of the gospel and bringing it into our hearts. The everlasting covenant, the everlasting gospel. This is what we’re talking about because it is not one that vanishes away. What did we read there? It is not that which decays and waxes old. That would cause it to vanish away. No, this is a covenant that will not vanish away. It is none other than the gospel of Jesus Christ by which Jesus comes into our hearts. Through Jesus the law is written in our hearts. The blood of Jesus, the blood of the gospel, is to do directly with this everlasting covenant that does not vanish away, that through this, that He makes you perfect in every good work, to do His will, working in you

Hebrews 13:20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Can you see how that text harmonises with Ezekiel? I will cause you to walk in my statutes. I will cause you to keep my law. How? Through the blood of the everlasting covenant, which is none other than the fact that Jesus died and rose again and makes us perfect in every good work.

1833

All through the history of the gospel church, this activity has been going on to develop this treasure in the hearts of the believers of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Throughout that history, we come to 1833 and know what is presented to the Christian Church in 1833.

Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

Can you see how this all dovetails together? All nations and tongues and people, He’s going to gather together the jewels from them all. We read that in the previous study. This is an angel that now proclaims the very avenue by which the treasure is to be received in the heart. From that time in earth’s history when William Miller began to preach this message, the Christian churches were being drawn to the call of being the jewels that should come together. The call is exactly what we have been studying in the last study.

Revelation 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

They have been spread; they have been scattered by Babylon. The angels are preaching.

Revelation 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, 12 Here is the patience of the saints. Here are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

In consequence of these angels of the preaching of the everlasting gospel in the times from 1833 onwards, the nations were being alerted to what God was going to do to draw together His gems. His gems are here in verse 12, His jewels, the patience of the saints, they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. There are the jewels, in consequence of those three angels messages which are given in the last days.

God has called His church in this day, as He called ancient Israel, to stand as a light in the earth. By the mighty cleaver of truth, the messages of the first, second, and third angels.  5T 455.2

That happened from 1833 through to 1848 when those three angels’ messages were doing their work and were designed to bring the message to the jewels in the churches, to separate them from the churches and from the world. Did you remember when I was reading here cleaver? What did we read about the cleaver? What did He do in our past studies? He is taking the ore of those precious gems from the world, by the cleaver. This is all in direct tune with everything we’ve studied so far, that as we come to 1833 onwards, the Lord is doing this work of bringing the people out of the churches into His workshop to finish the purification of the jewels. Then He could say, “Here is the patience of the saints. Here are they that keep the commands of God and the faith of Jesus. Follow very carefully now with me that the gathering experience from that time onwards, 1833 to 1848, from that time onwards, this is now the burden of this hour of consideration.

1833 to 1848

The three angels of Revelation 14 are represented as flying in the midst of heaven, symbolizing the work of those who proclaim the first, second, and third angels’ messages. All are linked together. The evidences of the abiding, everliving truth of these grand messages, that mean so much to the church, that have awakened such intense opposition from the religious world, are not extinct. Satan is constantly seeking to cast a shadow about these messages, so that the people of God shall not clearly discern their import, their time and place; 6T 17.4

But although Satan is so at work:

…but they live and are to exert their power upon our religious experience while time shall last. 6T 17.4

The gathering of the jewels for the last days.

The influence of these messages has been deepening and widening, setting in motion the springs of action in thousands of hearts, bringing into existence institutions of learning, publishing houses, and health institutions. All these are instrumentalities of God to co-operate in the grand work represented by the first, second, and third angels, the work of warning the inhabitants of the world that Christ is coming the second time with power and great glory. 6T 18.1

A message that is calling together the jewels because Jesus Christ is coming. You can see what we’re talking about here is really coming vividly before our mind’s eye. It is that there in 1844 after the disappointment or before the disappointment and then straight after. I want you to follow very carefully with me through each statement because each statement is taking us through to 1888 as He is gathering His jewels. Right there at that time in 1844 Sister White writes:

A spirit of solemn and earnest prayer was everywhere felt by the saints. A holy solemnity was resting upon them. Angels were watching with the deepest interest the effect of the message, and were elevating those who received it, and drawing them from EW 239.1

His image was reflected in them. Were they the jewels? Jesus could see Himself reflected in this little company that came through the disappointment and were now in that handful of people, were now illuminated so powerfully with all those three angels’ messages and there they were. Jesus could see himself reflected in His jewels.

Jesus looked upon them with pleasure, for His image was reflected in them. They had made a full sacrifice, an entire consecration, and expected to be changed to immortality. EW 239.1

This was the gathering of those jewels back there in 1844. Although these people were accepted and Jesus could look upon them with pleasure because He could see Himself reflected in them.

The subject of the sanctuary was the key which unlocked the mystery of the disappointment of 1844. It opened to view a complete system of truth, connected and harmonious, showing that God’s hand had directed the great Advent movement, and revealing present duty as it brought to light the position and work of his people. GC88 423.1

His gems, His people were brought to light but although He could see Himself perfectly reflected in them.

But the people were not yet ready to meet their Lord. There was still a work of preparation to be accomplished for them. Light was to be given, directing their minds to the temple of God in Heaven; and as they should by faith follow their High Priest in his ministration there, new duties would be revealed. Another message of warning and instruction was to be given to the church. GC88 424.3

Although they were such beautiful gems for Jesus, they still were not quite ready for Jesus to come because through the messages of the three angels, they were discovering new duties that they hadn’t known of before. Here we are as we carefully travel along the path from 1844 through to 1888, following very carefully the words of the Spirit of Prophecy. These were these people. They were gems. They had come out of all the churches and have come through the disappointment.

1852

Many who profess to be looking for the speedy coming of Christ are becoming conformed to this world. EW 107.2

How long did that take? From 1844 to 1852.

…and seek more earnestly the applause of those around them than the approbation of God. They are cold and formal, like the nominal churches from which they but a short time since separated. The words addressed to the Laodicean church describe their present condition perfectly. EW 107.2

1852, how quickly this happens.

(See Revelation 3:14-20.) They are “neither cold nor hot,” but “lukewarm.” And unless they heed the counsel of the “faithful and true Witness,” and zealously repent and obtain “gold tried in the fire,” “white raiment,” and “eye-salve,” He will spew them out of His mouth. EW 107.2

Revelation 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write;

This was relevant to the people in 1852.

Revelation 3:14 These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 20 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. 21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

The message of Laodicea, what was that addressed to the Laodicean church that described their present condition in 1852?

1856

Another four years on. Sister White comes because of the hardness of their hearts.

But God has given the message time to do its work. The heart must be purified from sins which have so long shut out Jesus. This fearful message will do its work. When it was first presented, it led to close examination of heart. 1T 186.1

That was when it was first presented, it was in 1852 and everybody got a shock. “What? We allow you to see it?” “I thought we were getting ready for Jesus to come.”

Sins were confessed, and the people of God were stirred everywhere. Nearly all believed that this message would end in the loud cry of the third angel. But as they failed to see the powerful work accomplished in a short time, many lost the effect of the message. 1T 186.1

Doesn’t this say something to us today? We can be stirred today, and we can have the loss of the effect of that stirring tomorrow.

I saw that this message would not accomplish its work in a few short months. God will prove His people. 1T 186.1

The gems have to be dealt with. Jesus bears patiently with them and does not spew them out of His mouth in a moment. If the message had been of short duration as many of us supposed, there would have been no time for them to develop character. That’s part of this whole scenario of the jewels being thoroughly prepared in the workshop, to give them time to have this character development.

Lest His people should be deceived in regard to themselves, He gives them time for the excitement to wear off, and then proves them to see if they will obey the counsel of the True Witness. 1T 186.2

Isn’t that interesting? You get excited about something and God says, “I’m going to let the excitement wear off first of all and now we see whether you are going to be just as faithful as with the excitement.” Very interesting experience for God’s people there.

That was for 1856. That was a direct — Sister White says, “when you read my writings, remember time and place.” That’s why we’re reading it, day by day, that those things were written not for us today, not for the Seventh Day Adventist Church today, but for it was written directly in reference to their condition back there in 1852/56.

1873

What the situation is now?

Very many feel impatient and jealous because they are frequently disturbed with warnings and reproofs which keep their sins before them. Says the True Witness: “I know thy works.” 3T 256.3

Those who are reproved by the Spirit of God should not rise up against the humble instrument. It is God, and not an erring mortal, who has spoken to save them from ruin. Those who despise the warning will be left in blindness to become self-deceived. 3T 257.1

How serious is this?

But those who heed it, and zealously go about the work of separating their sins from them in order to have the needed graces, will be opening the door of their hearts that the dear Saviour may come in and dwell with them. This class you will ever find in perfect harmony with the testimony of the Spirit of God. 3T 257.1

She’s simply writing that the Lord has given her these visions and these messages, the testimonies, and the people are saying, “I don’t want to hear about that.” That was in 1873. We are following the history very carefully.

1876

The Laodicean message applies to the people of God who profess to believe and truth. The greater part are lukewarm professors. 4T 87

How many? The greater part.

…having a name but no zeal. God signified that He wanted men at the great heart of the work to correct the state of things existing there and to stand like faithful sentinels at their post of duty. He has given them light at every point, to instruct, encourage, and confirm them, as the case required. But notwithstanding all this, those who should be faithful and true, fervent in Christian zeal, of gracious temper, 4T 87.1

That’s what the gems were to do.

…knowing and loving Jesus earnestly, are found aiding the enemy to weaken and discourage those whom God is using to build up the work. The term “lukewarm” is applicable to this class. They profess to love the truth, yet are deficient in Christian fervor and devotion. They dare not give up wholly and run the risk of the unbeliever, yet they are unwilling to die to self and follow out closely the principles of their faith. 4T 87.1

That was the condition back there in 1876. Sister White keeps on writing to the church and it comes to 1882.

1882

The church will be weighed in the balances of the sanctuary. If her moral character and spiritual state do not correspond with the benefits and blessings God has conferred upon her, she will be found wanting. The light has been shining clear and definite upon her pathway, and the light of 1882 calls her to an account 5T 83.2

There’s the date she’s actually naming, 1882. There was a message that comes to them from the testimony of the Spirit of Prophecy.

If her talents are unimproved, if her fruit is not perfect before God, if her light has become darkness, she is indeed found wanting. 5T 83.2

People read this for our church today, for the Seventh Day Adventist Church today. There’s other things written about that. We will come to that later on. But it was there in 1882 the deplorable condition of the church. Here comes the question now, in such a condition that the church was finding itself by 1882, where is the treasure? Where are the gems? Where are they? Sister White writes it here. Where’s the treasure?

The pure and the base metal are now mingled that only the discerning eye of the infinite God with certainty distinguishes between them. But the moral magnet of holiness and truth will attract together the pure metal while it will repel the base and the counterfeit. 5T 101.2

The great day of the to whom God has entrusted the sacred, solemn, testing truth for this time are sleeping at their post. 5T 101.3

See how danger it is to sleep?

They say by their actions: We have the truth; we are “rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing;” while the True Witness declares: Thou “knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.” 5T 101.3

The pure and the base are mingled together in the church.

The church has received warning after warning. …and the Spirit’s voice is scarcely heard. 5T 103.3

These statements were over a period of about 1882 through to 1888. Now we are seeing that Sister White is becoming very, very concerned, and the Holy Spirit, causing her to write, is increasing in its intensity.

I am filled with sadness when I think of our condition as a people. 5T 217.1

She’s not talking about Seventh Day Adventists today. She’s talking about them then.

The Lord has not closed heaven to us, but our own course of continual backsliding has separated us from God. Pride, covetousness, and love of the world have lived in the heart without fear of banishment or condemnation. Grievous and presumptuous sins have dwelt among us. And yet the general opinion is that the church is flourishing and that peace and spiritual prosperity are in all her borders. 5T 217.1

But the Spirit of God says it isn’t. That’s what people think they’ve got. Then she says this in continuation:

The church has turned back from following Christ her Leader and is steadily retreating toward Egypt. 5T 217.2

The church in her day in the 1880’s. The church is steadily retreating to Egypt. By the time they get to 1888, not only are they retreating to Egypt:

Spiritual death has come upon the people that should be manifesting life and zeal, purity and consecration, by the most earnest devotion to the cause of truth. The facts concerning the real condition of the professed people of God, speak more loudly than their profession, and make it evident that some power has cut the cable that anchored them to the Eternal Rock, and that they are drifting away to sea, without chart or compass. RH July 24, 1888, par. 1

Don’t leave the ship, they say. That was the condition that the church organisation of the Seventh Day Adventists was in. Some power had cut the cable of the ship that was anchored to the eternal rock and it was drifting away to sea.  Drifting away to sea without what? Chart or compass? What’s going to happen to the ship? There is no chart to tell them where the treacherous rocks are. They will run aground. That was in 1888.

Notice now how that affected, because this was the church that was supposed to be proclaiming the Three Angels’ Messages. How did this condition affect their proclamation of the Three Angels’ Messages?

The third angel’s message is to be given with power. We are in danger of giving the third angel’s message in so indefinite a manner that it does not impress the people. 6T 60.1

People are telling me today in the Seventh day of Adventist Church that we don’t hear what we are hearing from you. Here’s the reason. Way back, just after 1888, it was written in Testimony Volume 6.

We are in danger of giving the Third Angels message in so indefinite a manner that it does not impress the people. So many other interests are brought in that the very message which should be proclaimed with power becomes tame and voiceless. 6T 60.1

The church was preaching sermons that were tame and voiceless.

It is a solemn and terrible truth that many who have been zealous in proclaiming the third Angels message are now becoming listless and indifferent. The line of demarcation between worldlings and many professed Christians is almost indistinguishable. 8T 118

That was back there in Sister White’s time.

Many who once were earnest Adventists are conforming to the world, to its practices, its customs, its selfishness. Instead of leading to the world to render obedience to God’s law, the church is uniting more and more closely with the world in transgression. Daily the church is being converted to the world. 8T 118

How many times I’ve heard Seventh Day Adventists of my time saying using these statements for the church in our time, is not what she was writing to. She was writing to them back there in her time.

How many professing Christians are slaves of mammon! Their indulgence of appetite, their extravagant expenditure of money for selfish gratification, greatly dishonors God. 8T 118.4

Now that’s the case with a great number in the leadership and in the church.

And through lack of zeal for the promulgation of the third angel’s message, many others, while not apparently living in transgression, are nevertheless as verily lending their influence on the side of Satan as are those who openly sin against God. 8T 119.1

What does that say? Those that are still trying to be loyal are yet although they are not living in transgression, they are lending their influence of the sight of Satan as those who openly sin against God.

Multitudes are perishing; but how few are burdened for these souls! There is a stupor, a paralysis, upon many of the people of God, which prevents them from understanding the duty of the hour. 8T 119.1

All the way through I have been reading testimonies of the condition as God sees it written through Sister White’s writings. What was the message to Laodicea because they are lukewarm?

Revelation 3:16 So then, because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth.

Where was that relevant? In around 1888. What does that mean that I will spew you out? What does she say it means for the church on her time?

To those who are indifferent at this time Christ’s warning is: “6T 408.2

I’m going to spew you out of my mouth. The figure, what does the figure of spewing out mean?

The figure of spewing out of His mouth means that He cannot offer up your prayers or your expressions of love to God. 6T 408.2

So what do I still do? Can’t you see today People are expressing love to God, they’re expressing prayers to God, but when Christ spews them out, they may be doing that, but He cannot offer them to God. What a serious state. Besides that, they are teaching the doctrines of the church.

He cannot endorse your teaching of His word or your spiritual work in anywise. He cannot present your religious exercises with the request that grace be given you. 6T 408.2

That’s what is meant with spewing out. He cannot present your religious exercises with the request that grace be given you. There’s the warning.

“Because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of My mouth.” Revelation 3:16. 6T 408.2

There was the condition of the church and what is God going to do with that?

Then I saw another mighty angel commissioned to descend to the earth to unite his voice with the third angel and give power and force to his message. Great power and glory were imparted to the angel and as he descended the earth was lightened with his glory. The light which attended this angel penetrated everywhere as he cried mightily with a strong voice. Babylon the Great has fallen, has fallen, has become the habitation of devils and the hold of every spirit and the cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

Then I saw another mighty angel commissioned to descend to the earth, to unite his voice with the third angel, and give power and force to his message. Great power and glory were imparted to the angel, and as he descended, the earth was lightened with his glory. The light which attended this angel penetrated everywhere, as he cried mightily, with a strong voice, “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.” EW 277.1

The work remember, he is now joining with this power. Why? What did we read before? The church was becoming listless and indifferent. There needed to be a power boost.

The work of this angel comes in at the right time to join in the last great work of the third angel’s message as it swells to a loud cry. EW 277.1

The condition of the church was so bad that another angel had to come to give it a power boost back in 1888.

AT Jones quotes from Sister White. It’s a book that he wrote taking up a reproach. In that book he quotes Sister White saying:

In 1888 in the general conference held at Minneapolis, Minnesota, the angel of Revelation 18 came down to do his work. Taking up a Reproach AT Jones

This angel that was to give power and impetus to the message because the church had become slack, he came in there in 1888. In 1892 in Review and Heroic Sister White writes this:

“The time of test is just upon us, for the loud cry of the third angel has already begun in the revelation of the righteousness of Christ, the sin pardoning Redeemer. This is the beginning of the light of the angel whose glory shall fill the whole earth.”-The Review and Herald, November 22, 1892. COR 56.2

What was that? Sister White is saying that the 1888 message was the beginning of the Revelation 18 angel and the time of test is right upon the church. Now think what Sister White is writing here. Back there in 1888, the time of test was upon the church for the church to wake up and to be used of God to give this message of the Revelation 18 angel that swells into the loud cry of the third angel.  

The Lord in His great mercy. TM 91

Can you see why it’s in His great mercy? Because the church had become so slack.

The Lord in His great mercy sent a most precious message to His people through Elders Waggoner and Jones. [See Appendix.] This message was to bring more prominently before the world the uplifted Saviour. TM 91.2

To bring prominently to the world the pearl of great price.

It presented justification through faith in the Surety; it invited the people to receive the righteousness of Christ, which is made manifest in obedience to all the commandments of God. Many had lost sight of Jesus. They needed to have their eyes directed to His divine person, His merits, and His changeless love for the human family. All power is given into His hands, that He may dispense rich gifts unto men, imparting the priceless gift of His own righteousness to the helpless human agent. This is the message that God commanded to be given to the world. It is the third angel’s message, which is to be proclaimed with a loud voice, and attended with the outpouring of His Spirit in a large measure. TM 91.2 TM 91.2

In the development of His pure gems, the gems had become marred. The work wasn’t being done anymore and there we come to 1888 and there God sends the message of the Revelation 18 angel, the righteousness of Christ at the hand of Waggoner and Jones. That comes, as I said, has taken us to 1888. Now we want to move on from there, from 1888 to 1914 which will be our next study.

Have you picked up the developments that take us to 1888? Have you picked up how the Lord is stepping in to bring the pearl of great price before the people at that time and to let the jewels, the pure metal come to the surface and be manifest to the world around them as a loud cry? Why are we still here today? Because we will study now from 1888 and the way that message was received by the organisation, by the leaders of the organisation and where it led to in 1914. This will be our next study.
