accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing
whereto I sent it.”
“Judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar
off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Yea, truth
faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and
the Lord saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no judgment.
And He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no
intercessor: therefore His arm brought salvation unto Him; and His
righteousness, it sustained Him. For He put on righteousness as a
breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon His head; and He put
on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as
[359]
a cloak.... So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and
His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come
in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against
him. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn
from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord.”

“Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Me”

the General Conference is itself becoming corrupted with wrong
sentiments and principles. [
See appendix.
] In the working of plans,
the same principles are manifest that have controlled matters at
Battle Creek for quite a length of time.
I have been shown that the Jewish nation were not brought sud-
denly into their condition of thought and practice. From generation
to generation they were working on false theories, carrying out
principles opposed to the truth, and combining with their religion
thoughts and plans that were the product of human minds. Human
inventions were made supreme.
