Hello Brethren:
Posting two statements from the Spirit of Prophecy that I have mentioned above which bring to more light on the subject.
Christ Object Lessons, page 295-296
"Christ would have averted the doom of the Jewish nation if the people had received Him."
"As a people the Jews had failed of fulfilling God's purpose, and the vineyard was taken from them. The privieges they had abused, the work they had slighted was entrusted to others."
Prophets and Kings, page 713
"That which God purposed to do for the world through Israel, the chosen nation, He will finally accomplish through His church on earth today."
One other point is noted here, she states very clearly that where Israel had failed that HE WILL FINALLY ACCOMPLISH THROUGH HIS CHURCH ON EARTH TODAY.
The Seventh-day Adventist Church is HIS church on earth today. There is no other church on earth that has the Spirit of Prophecy and fulfill to the letter the scriptures "The Saints who keep the commandments of God and have the faith/testimony of Jesus" so perfectly.
There has to be an end-time church. The world will have to come to an end sometime and I believe with the course of events that have taken place since 1844 we have come to that end and I feel strongly in our lifetime.
